SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - Sep 18, 2012) - Contour Inc., the company that makes it easy to capture and share the action with hands-free HD video cameras, apps and accessories, today hits select retail shelves with its new Contour+2.

Announced earlier this month, the Contour+2 is the most advanced, easy-to-use camera, that lets people shoot 1080p HD video; track speed, distance, and elevation; and makes it simple to share data-rich content across YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook.

"Contour's continued, innovative focus on the customer experience has helped align our camera's attributes with core customers in select retail environments," said Marc Barros, CEO of Contour. "We've reached a gratifying moment: we're now connected to the world's largest social networks and have products on the shelves at select, premium retailers. This is what we set out to do."
