I have a 2GB I'll borrow from my old GPS for a while. But I'd like to get something bigger.
i use a 32gb sandisk, works great

I recently looked at the roam so Amazon had that info in my recently viewed list. I didn't sign up for anything...Quote:

I know nothing about cards. sandisk always worked well. jusr sticking with it. go to contour.com
i think they will tell prefered cards. some have issues
What did you have to do to make the GoPro suction cup mount work?
Google has yet to point me to a 'preferred' card list. Although I did finally find the 'support' link at the bottom of the contour.com website. That led me to this. Doesn't say much. "Any card up to class 10."
I'm going to assume a quality, 1st tier brand card is going to be fine.
Class 2 => 2MB/s => 16Mbits/s.. which is probably plenty.
I just bought this on Amazon as well. Caught someone on another board posting the promo code and such. Just FYI to you all, the code still works as of about 15 minutes ago. $89 with next day shipping!
Plan on using this one as a helmet cam, and maybe switch at times for a rear mount. I already have a GoPro that I use for forward mounting. This season should be fun!

got my cam just now!! Thank you Tom5796!!
I have an 8GB card lying around, that should do.
Now...jtryz ...am not sure if you remember, we met in one of the Thursday night poses ...do you have any clue if this can be easily 'front' mounted (on the handlebar) on a streetfighter? I did not open the package yet to look at their mounts.
just bought this. $89 code still works. free 1 day shipping. should be here wed. thanks guys. i wasnt really in the market for one, but at 50+% off i couldnt pass it up. Xmas gift to myself
^^ what he said. I just bought one too. can't wait to use it skiing this year!!
then on the bike in the summer.
:plusone: i was just thinking the same thing.Quote:

Or just get creative.
I am going to post all my mounting areas on my 675 to give some folks ideas.....
A coworker has the suction cup mount (second link). Bombproof. The aluminium bracket that attaches directly to the camera is beefy and the rest is RAM (can be used with anything else RAM as well).Quote:

Those suction cups r way powerful. i have had mine at some pretty dumb speeds and sufaces. no issues
I didn't have that good of luck with the contour suction cup mount, which is the reason I asked about the GoPro one. Mine broke at the base.. well it's cracked at the base where the arm is molded to the suction part. Either I got a shitty one, or they don't hold up quite as well to the extremes of offroad ridingQuote:
