I would use this to record my flight lessons and create "game film" for my students to review later

I'd use it to film my spectacular wipe outs on my snowboard.

I would use the helmet-mounted camcorder on the annual AIDS Lifecycle event from San Francisco to Los Angeles filming the beautiful California scenery and my fellow 2500 + cyclists.

Please enter me into the contest give-away for the camcorder.

Thanks,

Lee Field

I'll use the ContourHD to videotape in beautiful Hi Definition all my backpacking trips, bike tours, and mountain bike excursions from my POV and share them with the world on my blog PartTimeVagabond.com.

We've been wanting something like this! For hikes, climbing towers in Europe, mysterious alleyways...

Brian Dec 16th 2009 9:49AM

I would use this to film my next walk on the Great Wall. Everyone should see it....

I'd use this puppy to film all the kids who I teach to ski. This would make it a bit easier to provide their parents with film of their children's ski conquests

I will use this camera to film my hike in the Grand Canyon National Park next year!

Sam the Deaf Dec 16th 2009 10:05AM

Already follow you but I mention on twitter about here. :)

Here in LA (Lower Alabama) rural doggies often are unrestrained. As a bicyclist I've had many a close encounter of the teeth kind. I've gone through 3 cans of dog repellant spray. Hence- a helmetcam- to document these too close calls.

Yes please!

Kris Dec 16th 2009 12:06PM

I would use this camera on my adventures in Costa Rica climbing in the jungle, ziplineing and rafting!

David Dec 16th 2009 11:23AM

I would strap it to my aviation headset and fly all over (I am a private pilot). I've always thought it would be cool to share with friends/family what the world looks like from the pilots point of view (literally - looking at the guages, changing the radio frequency, what we see when we land....).

This is an awesome camera! I would use it to film future hang gliding adventures, in Europe and elsewhere. I think it would capture the feeling of the sport like no other camera.

so many things to film - skiing powder in the Wasatch; riding on my recumbent bike; view out the window f ying light aircraft around the mountains in the west; kids POV of piano playing: strap it to a dog for an unusual POV; whilst driving to document the idiots out there running red lights.
