Look, you've always known that you were the next Kelly Slater, but you've never had the outlay to hire a professional recording team to capture your rides off of Oahu's stunning north shore. Thankfully for you, your extreme sporting dreams are about to become a reality courtesy of a $39.99 waterproof case, which has just been released to encase VholdR's ContourHD and ContourHD1080p helmet cams -- which we just so happened to take a look at ourselves earlier this year. Said case can withstand liquids for up to ten meters deep, and just in case you're in the accessorizing mood, the outfit has also released a handlebar mount, vented helmet mount, and a lens kit to its accessory range. Granted, all of this stuff will be rendered pointless when we start embedding HD cameras into our retinas, but we suppose it'll do the trick until that fateful day. VholdR Announces a Waterproof Case and New Accessories for the ContourHD Wearable Camcorder
Now You Can Capture Lifelike HD Video Anywhere...Including Underwater!
Seattle, WA–December 2, 2009– VholdR, the market leader for HD Wearable Camcorders, is introducing several new accessories in time for the holiday shopping season. The award winning ContourHD and recently released ContourHD1080p models are adding a waterproof case, handlebar mount, vented helmet mount, and a lens kit to their accessory line-up.
The much-anticipated waterproof case means ContourHD can capture Lifelike HD video while surfing, river rafting, kayaking, or any sports going less than ten meters deep. "We are excited to introduce the first waterproof case for the ContourHD camera lines," says Marc Barros, VholdR's CEO. "Now we can bring our crisp HD video and easy to use camcorders underwater!"
Along with the announcement of the company's new waterproof case, VholdR is introducing the first lens kit to the HD Wearable Camcorder market. The new lens kit includes a replacement lens cover, as well as adaptable rings for standard 37mm lens filters. In conjunction with being the most configurable wearable camcorder (video resolution, bit rate, lighting, and microphone sensitivity), ContourHD is now the only camera on the market to enable the user to configure their lens.
All of the new accessories will be available through the hundreds of VholdR retailers this holiday season. Visit www.vholdr.com to learn more about these new additions as well as the ContourHD and ContourHD1080p camera lines.

Hmm, wish I had known about this earlier; I just picked up a GoPro Hero HD, mainly because it comes with a waterproof case. I like the design of the countour better! Ah well, I'm sure I'll love the GoPro!
@appleguru Nah, you made the right choice.. The fisheye wide-angle lens and the audio quality are the killer features of the Go Pro.
@appleguru :you right, this video is very sophisticated to captures under the sea.

UNDER THE SEAAAA **do doo do doo da do do ah do**
remember the song from the little mermaid with the talking crab
So you want me to put my $1100 camera in a $39.99 case and go for a swim eh?....
@formetopoopon
If you paid $1100 for a ContourHD, shoot yourself now.
The case looks sweet, but what I really want is an external micophone option, so I can put a mic inside my helmet when I ride.
@formetopoopon. I paid $100 for the 1080 model
this needs to be strapped onto a shark.
Really nice. I only buy cameras that I know I can get water cases for, though they usually run in the hundreds of dollars. I realize this one is a bit more simple without the need to control multiple buttons/controls on the camcorder, so the price is really nice to see. I'm by no means a heavy water user, though I aspire to be one (never enough time) and water shots, whether above or below the water are always awesome.
