• Jump Analytics – how high, how far and how long you were in the air - on that seemingly massive jump
• Vertical – track how many vertical miles you’ve been over a run, over a trip, or even a year.
• Altitude – How high have you been today?
• Distance – Measure your traveled distance, up, down and all around.
• Location – Latitude and Longitude, put yourself on the map
• Temperature – has it heated up enough to let that icy face soften?
• Run/Jump Counter – In real time
• Bluetooth Remote – Attach to your goggles, your arm or anywhere that works - easily flick through stats and settings while keeping your gloves on.
• Rechargeable Battery – 6 Hours of Battery Life
• Graphics - Fully customisable colour graphics are displayed like a ‘Heads Up Display’ in the lower right of your goggles for easy viewing while letting you focus on the run.
Top tip: Revisit your epic trips up the mountain and download from your MOD all your stats, keep a record, compare seasons, log – or even find – your favourite locations, and pick your best bits for uploading online. Thanks to Recon HQ - a free app for your Mac or PC (available online).

Contour and Recon Instruments have teamed up to launch the ContourCamera Connectivity App for MOD Live (Micro Optics Display).

Combining the abilities of your Contour camera with the stats of the Recon MOD Live, turning your Goggles into the ultimate viewing platform for your mountain adventures.

You will be able to stream your footage - live - straight to your MOD, see camera stats, speed, distance, location, altitude, battery life, even jump height and all of those other awesome things a Recon MOD gives you. They’ve also set it up so you can use your Recon remote to stop/start recording on your Contour. Seamless.

Contour Camera Connectivity available for the Contour+ and ContourGPS, and later in the year the iPhone 4S.
