Disapointed Review by David Egan
Rating I purchased this mount for use on my Burton RED Helmet. All previous contour adhesive mounts seemed to be made for flat surfaces therefore I was very pleased to see this addition to an already solid Contour lineup.
I was hopeful that the base (the adhesive portion) would easily mold to the surface of my curved helmet. I was wrong.
The base is made of solid plastic. While it does "give" slightly - about as well as you'd expect hard plastic to mold (very little - even less than many current contour mounts) it certainly wasn't the soft rubber type base that should have been used to ensure it would curve to nearly all surface types.
To make matters worse, the adhesive used (at least in the one I received) was much weaker than typical contour mounts. Although the center portion was really the only part making solid contact to the helmet, it wasn't sticking enough to support it's own weight (this is just the base, not the green and black top portion attached) the base basically weights nothing and yet slipped off with ease.
Contour - why you didn't use soft molding legs for this base (such a rubber or much thinner plastic) is beyond me - bottom line: if you are looking for a mount to use on a curved surface.. this most likely will not be the solution. (Posted on 08/02/2012)

Good idea, but beware Review by Jesster
Rating Works great on paintball gun, airsoft and small caliber "real" guns. But does not hold up to recoil from medium - large caliber rifles or shotguns. I broke mine in 5 shots when mounted on a 12 ga. (Posted on 12/01/2012)

Excellent case! Review by Jimbo
Rating I got this little unit here for scuba diving in Mexico, hit 100 feet down with 0 issues. Crystal clear view and super easy to use. With the weight of the camera and the displacement of the case, it makes it basically neutrally bouyant. Got excellent video of sharks and sea lions. A MUST have if you intend to use for watersports. Had other divers tell me they paid $2000.00+ for underwater cameras that took worse video. (Posted on 04/01/2012)

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)

Good quality and sturdy mount! Review by Dragonboy
Rating Contour is probably the only company that manufactures a proper picatinny rail mount for the Contour HD camera. I use this mount on paintball marker and it has never come lose or fallen apart during a match. Very good quality construction and easy to use. The only con is that it is quite expensive for what it is but you get what you pay for... Minus 1 star for price. (Posted on 01/07/2011)

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)
