So have anyone used you Contour HD in bad rainy weather? Did any water got into the control buttons, card or battery?
I did an hour ride on Mt Charleston (8500 feet) in a pretty good rain a week ago. I was actually willing to risk it because I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy a couple more. The camera was mounted un-obstructed on the top of my front fender on my motorcycle. In did a couple 80 mph burst and the camera did just fine. It didn't scuba dive but we don't have to be worried about a little drizzle. I did buy another one BTW.
