They did go out of business but came back. Ones without Bluetooth r older but ok I have two, now the ones with Bluetooth cost more and r newer. I will have to read the specs to see for sure. The blue tooth is just to be able to adjust unit off your phone and to stream to make sure it's lined up. Now they all have laser to adjust the Bluetooth is just a snazzy feature... U don't need to have it but I would get it!

Good footage, but I do find it hard to watch gun cam footage.

Video is much easier to watch from a helmet cam.

I agree just recently attached the mount to my mask but haven't been out to the field since july.... damn work

[dodge3500]

I ordered 2 of the replay 1080 mini's.I did look at a new Sony with some sort of wrist remote that was cool but dang it a was like 502$ with tax and a 3 year warranty .lol I got 2 mini's both with a 3 year replacement warranty tax and all for 400$.the warranty and taxes ran the cost up by 100$ .

I'm sure it was a fluke shot, bet ya can't do it twice sorta thing.. I have seen a Contour have it's lens shot out and shattered with a paintball.

[RT Lover]

Anything can break... I have taken direct shots and it is fine...worried enough put the underwater case on

The Sony cam is trash. If you can't rotate the imager, and you can't rotate the mount, then you're kind of screwed. Extremely short-sighted design on Sony's part. Might be useful for other things, but difficult for paintball.

There are multiple things that bother me about the Contour. Depending on the model, the lip around the lens is not easy to field clean (hence why you see so many blurry and smudged Contour videos). Then there are numerous instances of them not surviving a paintball hit, and Contour/Vholdr's contemptuous response towards its customers. And then there are the somewhat disingenuous users who will cite the size of the Contour, but neglect to include the extra housing that you are required to put it in if you want it to survive or expect help from customer service, if ever they decide to support paintballers in the first place.

The Replay Mini actually looks like a pretty good cam. It cuts numerous corners to achieve such a small size, but it definitely does a number of things right. The lens system looks sane, as well as the sealing on the backside. Biggest liability is the fact you can't change out batteries.

I have no issues cleaning mine, u probably c so many smudge is people don't clean it. When I play big game we play 2 games so there isn't time to clean it and...and I can't take my mask off on the field. Then in the heat of the moment u might forgot it or just to lazy. Then if u want the extra goods u have to buy them but most eBay items Come with a package deal. I have 3 contours my only beef is not having a screen on it but the blue tooth feature takes care of it. Now I have heard of hoppers breaking if hit right b4 I bought my camera for ll7 it came highly recommend because if it's low profile and how rugged it is
A waterproof case is like 25$ alone
