Recon Instruments Announces Contour Camera View Finder Capability

I have always thought if I lived in an area where it snowed, I would buy the Recon goggles even though I can’t ski. These goggles protect your eyes and have a little viewfinder that you can look into capable of running apps of all sorts. The apps will tell you things about your skiing and more.

Recon has announced that it has a new partnership with Contour that allows the little display on the goggles to work like a viewfinder for the camera. This allows the user to know that their camera is aimed correctly and see what they are recording.

The Recon goggles will work with the Contour+ and the ContourGPS cameras. Both of those cameras have integrated Bluetooth to connect to the goggles. The little display on the goggles simulates a 14-inch screen.
