Contour Roam3 Action Cam Review: Quality Compromised

THE GOOD
  • Slim, rugged, waterproof design
  • Rotating lens and laser guide help you shoot level video
  • Clever mounting system
  • Low price
THE BAD
  • Blurry video obscures details, especially when in motion
  • No LCD on device and no Wi-Fi for smartphone control
VERDICT

The Roam3 has a great design and an attractive price, but the video looks too muddy, especially when the camera is in motion.

In a category dominated by super complex cameras from GoPro and Sony, the Roam3’s sleek, spartan design is refreshing. The controls are too simple for you to accidentally enable a horribly wrong video setting, and a rugged, waterproof housing saves you from fiddling with additional cases. Too bad the video quality is too weak to trust this camera with catching special moments.

Keep reading, though, because Contour’s design provides a lot of good lessons for other camera makers.
