Kennesaw, Georgia -
Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S.A.'s
Parts and Accessories Division (YPAD) announces it is selling Contour video
cameras through Yamaha dealers nationwide. The partnership helps dealers meet
consumer demand for high-quality, easy-to-use and affordable ways to capture
their adventures on video, whether on a Yamaha motorcycle, ATV, watercraft, or
snowmobile.
Yamaha dealers
currently are selling the Contour+2 (MSRP $399.99) with Bluetooth connectivity
and GPS, the user-friendly and lightweight ContourROAM2 (MSRP $199.99), as well
as a variety of rugged mounts and accessories.
The ContourROAM2
is one of the simplest cameras to use and features a locking Instant On-Record
switch, a lightweight, low-profile design and it works underwater up to one
meter without an extra waterproof case. It has a 270-degree flush-front
rotating lens that when coupled with the proper mount offers nearly infinite
video angle possibilities. Other features include a built-in laser level, an
internal microphone, a still photo mode, a USB connection, a built-in tripod
mount, and both the Profile Mount and the Rotating Flat Surface Mount.
The ContourROAM2
comes in a small package--its dimensions are just 100mm x 55mm x 34mm--and
weighs just 5.1 ounces. It can capture up to 3.5 hours of footage on a single
charge, includes a 4GB MicroSD card and provides a frame rate up to 60fps at
720p. And while black is always in style, the ContourROAM2 also is available in
blue. The Yamaha dealer part numbers are GCR-1800K-BK-13 and GCR-1800K-BL-13,
respectively.
The Contour+2
(part number GCR-17000-00-13) escalates your adventure video capabilities by letting
you capture and share 1080p HD video with speed, distance traveled and
elevation. It offers higher-quality video and includes a 60-meter waterproof
case for underwater adventures.
In
addition to the ContourROAM2 features like the Instant On-Record switch, the Contour+2
has: a GPS receiver for speed, distance and elevation HD overlays; Bluetooth
connectivity to use a mobile device as a remote, to preview video before and
during recording, or to tweak settings; four different HD modes including
1080p, and 120fps in 480p for super slow motion video.
The Contour+2
also is small at just 5.5 ounces and 98mm x 60mm x 34mm, and like the ContourROAM2
it includes a Profile Mount and a Rotating Flat Surface Mount. Unique features
include: a waterproof case, an external microphone jack and cable; a mini HDMI
cable; the ability to adjust white balance, contrast, sharpness, exposure, and
metering; and a removable and rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Both the
ContourROAM2 and the Contour+2 are compatible with all Contour mounts. Yamaha
dealers will offer 23 Contour accessories, including: accessory bundles for
snow, moto, outdoors, bikes and helmets; a goggle strap mount; a vented helmet
mount; a bar mount; a suction cup mount; a rechargeable battery; a camera
charge kit; and both a camera case and a waterproof case.
Contour
products are available now for ordering. Please check your local dealer for
