No.....but I got an Excel camera even though everybody said GoPro or go home, it worked great,easy to use,but as soon as you strapped it on a bike and took off...it would shut down in seconds, traded it for a GoPro and it worked flawlessly,I'm sold on GoPro and would be very skeptical of anything else.

why go for something you dont know is tried and true unless it was way cheaper.

I have not, If someone is going to dethrone go pro they'll have to offer either a better camera, or a competitive camera for a big buck less.

Plus, don't forget GoPro is an American company and this I saw or whatever it is, it's a Korean company.

Also note there is no "R" in the name

Ok so this camera will never hold a candle to the GoPro camera. Thanks for the post. I was reading through the Dirt Rider June 2014 issue and seen a full page add on page 35. Then I also saw on page 61 another camera being advertised. It is called the GHOST-S camera.

Didn't say that.....it may be a great camera, but I can say GoPro has it goin on, and it will be hard to change my mind.

My boys a vet.....he told me they are great cameras....maybe not as good quality,as Go Pro.but are a much smaller camera,very durable and close too bullet proof,the guys he knows that are still in, use them today. But he doesn't know if the company went outa business.

Contour used to be the "in" camera. More of a cylinder design. Don't think they had a memory card though or the functionality of a "normal" camera either.

My bad, it looks like they did have a memory card.
