In our experience, hands-free camcorders are always something of a challenge to get used to. At the very core they are different than traditional camcorders, and the lack of an LCD or viewfinder to assist with framing your video is always frustrating. But GoPro did a reasonably good job with the Hero2, and, despite its numerous quirks, it was much easier to work with (in our mind) than the Contour+ camcorder. The mounts were simpler to tackle and use, the settings were far easier to change, and we didn't have to worry about connecting the Hero2 to our SmartPhone via Bluetooth (something that never worked smoothly on the Contour+).
