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.
