NEW CONTOUR+2 CAMERA OFFERS A NEW PERSPECTIVE IN ACTION VIDEO

With New Data Feature to Enhance Facebook Sharing


SEATTLE, WASH. – September 5, 2012 – Contour, Inc. (www.contour.com)-
the company that makes it easy to capture and share action moments
with hands-free HD video cameras, apps and accessories, today
announces the next evolution in action video: the Contour+2. Available
later this month, the new camera will enable users to shoot 1080p HD
video; track speed, distance, and elevation; then easily share
data-rich content across YouTube, Vimeo, and for the very first time,
on Facebook.

"Our focus at Contour has always been on innovation and the best
customer experience," said Marc Barros, CEO of Contour.
"We're right at the crossroad of social media, big data and rich
video, bringing a whole new perspective to people's actions and the
way they share them."

The new design combines users' favorite features from both the
ContourROAM and the original Contour+ to create an affordable camera
that is easier to use and allows Contour users to share an entirely
new perspective. The new model has also been real-world tested and
proven by Contour's roster of professional athletes and film partners
in the world's most diverse conditions, ultimately fine-tuning its
sensor to improve the overall sharpness of the image, the speed at
which the camera adjusts for fast lighting changes, and the underwater
video quality.

The Contour+2 also features the highest quality action video, faster
frame rates and one-button recording. Additional features include:

Rich data - Unique to Contour, a GPS receiver allows users to capture
and share a different perspective, providing beautiful HD video with
overlays for speed, elevation, and distance. The end result? Video
shared to Facebook, YouTube, and Vimeo tells a much more interesting
story.

Mobile connectivity right out of the box – Users can turn their
smartphone into a remote control and viewfinder by pairing the
Contour+2 with their mobile device. Contour's built-in Bluetooth
technology enables users to line up and preview shots before recording
or press record from their phone while the camera is already mounted.

Locking Instant On-Record switch – No power button? No problem. Users
can simply slide the Instant On-Record switch into its locked position
to immediately start capturing video.

120 frames per second - In addition to shooting in four different HD
modes including 1080p, the Contour+2 also shoots 120fps in 480p. That
puts super slow motion video at the users' fingertips.

Waterproof case included – The waterproof case included will bring
those aqua adventures to life. The Contour+2 waterproof case is rated
to 60 meters.

Live Streaming – Contour+2's HDMI out port lets users live-stream
events, meetings, and more.
