One thing I really like with my bullet shaped Contour is that I can mount it
almost everywhere using strips from an old inner tube. I've mounted mine
on my helmet, fork, handlebars, seat post, top tube, rear triangle, etc. I
guess one can do the same with similarly shaped cameras(Virb, Sony Action,
JVC Addixion, etc.) but you cant't do the same with blocky/rectangular cams
(GoPro, Kodak, etc.). For skiing; I would strap it on the inside part of my boot
so it would have a view between the skis.
