Contour releases a free, world-first application connecting hands-free video to Android smartphones<\/p>\n
Sydney, July 20, 2011 – Contour, the market leader in hands-free video cameras, today launches its highly anticipated Android mobile application.<\/p>\n
Joining its iOS application, the Android app now means Android powered smartphones can act as wireless viewfinders for Contour+ and ContourGPS cameras.<\/p>\n
The app allows users to align their shots and adjust their camera settings remotely in real-time, and is available for free at Contour.com and in the Android Market.<\/p>\n
With the growing prevalence of Android smartphones in the Australian market, the app comes at the perfect time for many tech-savvy outdoor enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
By converting the Android into a real-time viewfinder, the Android app helps users to see what their camera sees, giving them complete control over the composition of their footage.<\/p>\n
It ensures once-in-a-lifetime moments are captured exactly how users envision them, saving time in post-production and enabling users to relive adventure experiences in their truest form.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur mobile apps push video storytelling further forward by providing what other hands-free cameras don\u2019t: a wireless viewfinder,” said Marc Barros, Contour CEO.<\/p>\n
\u201cContour is the first hands-free video camera that connects to mobile devices to create a complete and powerful action video experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Contour Android mobile application lets explorers:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Align and preview the shot: a Bluetooth connection sends images between camera and an Android smartphone, creating a live wireless viewfinder; explorers can set up the perfect shot before recording, making crooked, misaligned footage a thing of the past<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Adjust settings in real time: the mobile app lets explorers change video mode, adjust the microphone volume and react to lighting conditions in the most remote locations<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Check the camera\u2019s vitals: read battery, memory and GPS signal status on-the-go<\/p>\n
