My GoPro Hero HD can record in both 170 FOV and 127 FOV angles. After doing some testing, my opinion is that the 170 FOV is a must for flying videos. Not sure if the Contour has options to try standard and wide FOV but if it does, try it and see for youself. I think you'll be surprised by the difference it makes!

I also seem to always get my camera mounted a few degrees off of level. However, my video editing software (Adobe Premiere Elements) has a feature that allows me to rotate the video to a level orientation to correct this. I suspect most video editing SW will have similar functionality.

Isn't 170 a bit too wide? I like my Contour HD but I find it very
difficult to adjust the (suction cup) mount/camera to get a "level"
frame and many of my videos are a bit tilted. The alignment lasers don't
help much in bright sun.
