Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Contour Goggle Mount Problem
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi, has anyone else got an issue with a Contour Plus 2 and the goggle mount? I can't get the disc that attaches to the camera to detach from it. It gets to the end and won't budge. Don't want to damage either (or give myself a hernia). Contour support have gone very quiet on me after sending me a video link involving a hairdryer (to remove stuck on mount from skateboard!) which I said wan't the issue.

@marksou,Shouldn't be a problem: I've got the earlier Contour GPS which this has the same rails which locate to the goggle mount, so it should just slide straight off.

The mount has a couple of nubs in the middle of its locating rails, which engage in recesses in the camera rail (below the "C" of the Contour logo - left side) to hold the cam firmly in place, and I think the end of the camera rail is designed so these are a tight fit to help stop the camera coming off inadvertently, so it could just be that yours are extra tight.

<edit> ... I trust you're trying to remove it at the door end, and not the lens end rolling eyes rolling eyes </edit>

Hi @geoffers
That's correct, but no matter how hard I try, it won't go past the door end. I'm just concerned about breaking the camera. Might try a bit of silicone spray.

The camera body is quite robust - more so than the plastic mount. If you can trap the camera with your fingers you should be able to eject the mount with your thumbs (probably best done seated).

Make sure you've not got any grit or anything stuck in the rails. You could try running the rail and mount part under a hot tap for a minute or so, see if the expansion in the plastic frees it off (obviously taking care not to waterlog the camera itself.)
