Product Description
The Contour ConnectView Bluetooth card is an accessory that allows your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to become a wireless viewfinder for your ContourGPS camera. Together with the Contour Camera App, Connect View allows you to see what your camera sees before you record and change your settings in real-time. Mount your camera, use your phone to line up the shot, adjust your settings (video, lighting, or audio), and you're ready to record your adventure. The days of crooked or misaligned videos are a thing of the past.

- + Use your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad as your viewing screen to align your shot while in standby mode
- + Adjust your camer settings in real-time
Made for
- + iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation)

Directions
Here's how to pair your ContourGPS Camera with your iOS device:
1. Before starting, make sure you have updated the camera's firmware and connected to Storyteller to get a Bluetooth id. (Directions)
Open the backdoor of the camera and remove the battery. Replace the card next to the battery with the Connect View card. Close the backdoor and power up the camera.
2. Locate the Bluetooth button in front of the record switch. Press and hold the button for five seconds before releasing. The front LED will begin flashing blue. (Note: if you slide the record switch forward the camera will go out of Bluetooth mode.)
3. Go into your phone's settings and enable Bluetooth. Wait while your iOS locates the ContourGPS camera. Once you see 'ContourGPS', select it to tell your iOS to accept the pairing. You will know the pairing is complete when the front LED on the camera goes solid blue.
If a pairing can not be established, push and release the Bluetooth button on the camera. Then repeat the process of pressing and holding the camera's Bluetooth button for five seconds. The ContourGPS camera should appear.
4. Open the Contour App and you should see what your camera sees! If your Bluetooth connection is lost the app will let you know; if this happens, you'll need to turn your Bluetooth back on by pressing the Bluetooth button once. A single beep will sound and the camera will connect with the pre-existing pairing.
*To unlock the Bluetooth feature you will need to download and install new firmware for your ContourGPS camera.
*Download Contour Camera App

Disappointing Review by Mr. Cairo
Rating Service with Point of View is first rate.
The Contour Connect View card works as advertised. HOWEVER....not without a few issues. Took a bit to get it set up as the camera needed several software updates first. After shooting a scene you need to re-establish the bluetooth connection in order to set up the camera again. The card has a tendency to freeze up as well. A big pain if you're on the trail and your buddies are waiting for you to mess around with your camera.
It's a cool idea but still has some issues that need to be resolved. (Posted on 30/10/2011) -
Very pleasant on the phone. Review by Liliana
Rating I bought this for my grandson's birthday. I could not find it in any of the stores near where I live. Fortunately, my nephew told me about this site and I was happy to discover they had a 1-800 number.
The lady on the phone was very kind and patient with all my little questions and she walked me through the ordering process. Everything went through fine and I received the little card in 3 days. My grandson got it in time for his birthday.
I am very pleased with the service from pointofviewcameras and would recommend them to everyone. (Posted on 01/05/2011) -
Contour iPhone app just what I needed Review by Carl Z.
Rating I've been looking forward to this since it was announced! I finally got my new iPhone 4 and this iphone viewfinder app was just the ticket for the Contour GPS I use for my mountain biking.
I strap the iphone with connect view app running to the front of my bike. Thanks for sending this out fast POV. (Posted on 12/04/2011)
