I'm going on my annual ski trip in a couple of weeks (yippie) and I just purchased a helmet cam (Contour SD).
Since I just ordered the camera (online) last night, I don't have the camera or owners manual in my possession and I am trying to get prepared as much as possible since I don't have too much time before the trip.
Questions:
1) The camera comes with a (MaxFlash 2GB microSDHC 60X Memory Card) and I purchased a 16GB card as well
Can I purchase any microSDHC memory card for this - like from Best Buy, such as ScanDisk or is this a specialized memory card. I figured as long as it says microSDHC any brand will work.
2) Downloading. Normally, the camera is downloaded via USB cable to a PC. However, I do not plan on bringing a laptop as space will not permit & I don't have a laptop anyway.
Is it possible to download to a portable hard drive. I know you could plug a portable hard drive into a computer and then download to the computer and save to the hard drive but I'm wondering if you can download "directly" to a portable hard drive.
I may just bring my portable Hard Drive anyway, in case I can get access to a computer. I hate the thought of running out of storage and those memory chips can get expensive.
Any advice would be great. Thanks.......Vern
This camera should be great for future Porsche road trips:
