Contour ROAM3,waterproof camera to 30 feet deep

Contour ROAM3 waterproof camera, Contour has finally announced the contour ROAM3 action camera, which I confirmed was coming earlier this year. Contour ROAM3 sideAs you can see the form-factor remains the same and the camera also retains Contour’s popular instant-on record switch on top of the camera body. Just like every CONTOUR, the ROAM3 is incredibly easy to use.”

“The contour ROAM3 builds on the great history of contour and gives a glimpse into our future.

A little more than a year ago, action-cam maker Contour closed its doors. In light of all this, you might have expected Contour to make a big splash and update its flagship product, but the Roam is its entry-level camera with a price of $199 in the US and AU$ 299.95 in Australia and 3 million IDR in indonesia . Just to take a picture you had to connect to a computer to switch from capturing video to photos. That changes with the Roam3.

The last time we saw an action-camera come out of Contour, it was for the Contour+2. Image quality was pretty good, but the mounts were way too fragile, and under the shadow of GoPro's colossal market-share, Contour shuttered its doors.

Meet the Roam3. The biggest improvement seems to be that the Roam3 is waterproof to 30 feet deep without the need for a case, which is up from just 3 feet deep on the contour Roam2.

Even Sony's entry level cams (which come in around the same price-point) can do 1080p 60fps and 720p 120fps. Also, next to the Hero 3+, the contour Roam3 is really big, and really heavy. Granted, the Hero 3+ Black may have been an unfair comparison for the Roam3 considering it's roughly twice the price, but consider, too that that camera is no spring chicken and yet it's still the best action camera we've seen yet.

Like other Contour cameras, the contour ROAM3 has a rotating lens unit, allowing the camera to leveled no matter the mounting position. Let’s hope the reasonable price tag can move some units and Contour continues to evolve the product line.
