ContourROAM2 lasts 3.5 hours. GoPro Hero 3 is 3.4/5 on Amazon with large numbers of 1's. ContourROAM2 is 4.4/5 with virtually no 1's.
Earlier this month they closed shop.

I agree with you on the bulkiness of the GoPro. Ive also had problems with the wifi not turning off and having to pull the battery.
