External Mic for any Contour Camera

[Project Development]

Sorry all. Its been a long spring and this project is still in the works. We have started the patent process last month and I was warned it would take awhile but I was hopeful that it wouldn't be too long. I was hoping for a public release date of early summer but I have been told to expect around mid fall for the patent to be ready. I know as far as the riding season goes this would be too late for the U.S. Its a real bummer to have something in my hands that I know all contour users could use and I cant share it because of all the red tape that has to be dealt with.

Good to know you're still at it! I was wondering about this only a few days ago, as I could really do with one.
Are you saying you have a finished and working product now?

As a releasable "market quality" product, no. But I am done with prototyping and while I am waiting on the Patent I am working with the different manufactures and suppliers that will be mass producing market quality parts that will be assembled to make the product.

Ah ok. Still, fantastic to know we might get to use this soon!

I decided to give a sneak peak at one of my older test videos to give you an idea of why I am so excited. The video does not show my device nor will I respond to any inquiries as to how it works yet. I will say that I am now including the GoPro (HD, 2, 3) & the new Sony Action Cam in the testing.

I really really need this.
