Never used the roam2, but I have absolutely no complaints about the roam. Well, after almost a year, the battery is only lasting about 3hrs instead of 3.5 like it did when new. I’ve used it on every ride since last march and it’s been perfect. As I originally posted, I wanted to switch to a GoPro, that’s because I wanted to use the camera for other things besides on my bike and I think GoPro would be better for my other uses. And the fact that Contour is no longer in business. But I will use this until it fails. As I also posted earlier, having this mounted to my helmet captures footage off the bike and I wouldn’t want a gopro mounted to my road helmet.
