I’ve used the earlier Drift Stealth model for years. The Ghost model is slightly chunkier but has loads of extra features. Great produc
I use it on the motorbike as a helmet cam in case of the unthinkable. The curved and flat stickie thingymajigies are amazing and I don’t have any doubts about it giving up the ghost and end up loosing the camera even when doing the “national speed limit” the interface can be a little confusing but I’m going to put that down to me not been as tech savy as I once was the quality is good and the app its self is simples.
Overall very happy with it.
On the technical side, I have to say that the instruction booklet could be written much more clearly. It is probably fine for a user under 40 but for an oldie like, some more explanation would be of value although after much scrolling through the settings I have figured out most of what I wanted to know.
The added bonus to me is that I can use the camera as a dash cam in my car as well as for general video recording.
Very easy to setup and use. Picture quality is great, downloading photos to your phone is simple and fast with wyfi. Sound quality from the built-in microphone is very poor due to wind noise but can be overcome with an external microphone.
This is easy to use, amazing picture quality and superb sound. I have it fitted to my motorbike helmet and the picture stays steady even over rough roads. Easy to download recordings to pc/laptop and the battery life is brilliant. You can’t get better value in my opinion.
I bought the Ghost Drift XL as I wanted a camera for my bike that had a good battery life. Once set up it has worked well and I am happy with it. The one thing that took ages to work out was the live-streaming, although I can’t think of when I might actually use it. I studied the online instructions and did everything word for word but could not scan the QR code. It was only by looking at a manual for the Ghost 4k that it became clear it was necessary to not be on wifi that it worked.
The screen is very small and it can be difficult to see everything, especially the settings function which has a blue backlight, but I’m happy with it so far.
Works great. Superb battery life (I gave up on the GoPro due to its poor battery life).
Some image stabilization would be nice.
Upgrade from the Ghost X which I mislaid…better battery life, and as well as motorcycle use, I’ve bought the Drift clamp to use as a dashcam in the car, and it’s excellent value for money.
Quality and ease of use is excellent on camera, would have been 5 stars but sound is really bad as picks up wind noise really bad
This is a nice compact camera and takes great video footage. Took a while to find best location on helmet as I have a flip top but managed to locate a good spot and use the flat adapter. Useful to be able to twist Len’s around to find vertical and can also change focus setting.
I purchased the additional mic and this didn’t work for some reason which was annoying. Also has a very long cable which is difficult to lose in a helmet! Had to send back and replace and new one and now working. Also purchased the remote. To be honest I am still in two minds with this as not easy to see on the remote if you have switched on or not and a couple of times I managed to change settings by mistake. Perhaps I will get used to it. Also comes with wrist strap but perhaps a handlebar adapter would be better.
Overall so far, 3 weeks, camera has performed well and I am pleased with it.
I had doubts but it really is that good. Easy to use, compact and incredible battery life. I brought this to capture images of green lanes in Wales where I was travelling on my quad bike. It gave fantastic images and is so easy to use stuck on a crash helmet. I could hear the beep when it started filming and could glance in my mirror to confirm the red or green lights were on. Came back from the trip and my mate went straight out and brought one as wll.
I use on Moto bike as dash cam riding for hours
Works brilliant day or night and as can be seen from the footage it’s crystal clear.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This is a good little camera, robust (it has fallen off the bike and bounced down the road a few times and still works) and very good camera quality. My only gripe is that the arm attachment to the bike handlebars (which has to be bought separately) snapped which is how the camera bounced down the road. The company replaced that part without charge, and the arm is essential to attach this to a pedal bike.
I have now got 2 of the ghost XL 1 on my crash helmet the other on my back box, my first 1 I’ve had nearly a year and had no problems. You do need a class 10 SC card anything less and it won’t record fast enough and it will crash
Easy to use, instructions in booklet straight forward. Good quality well made cameras. Would recommend these to other riders. (This is my husbands review he is the motorbike rider not me)
Overall this is a good camera, that works okay once set up. The miniscule screen makes it difficult to set up as I was unable to download the app.
Battery life seems good but have not used it on a long journey yet.
I think that Drift should forget some of the gimmicky features and concentrate on making the dashcam mode better and adding EIS so that camera shake is reduced. Also improve the external microphone.
Downloads easily and quickly to my laptop and plays back well. Strange it downloads each file twice.
Extras are a bit too expensive.
Great value for money. Easy to get footage off camera to phone using app. Footage seems to be better quality once downloaded to phone rather than viewing on app. Have to buy separate SD card and mount for my bicycle helmet. Has sticky mount for my motorbike helmet. Loads of settings. Fairly easy to navigate through settings. Would recommend but if your looking for top quality picture I might consider the 4K version.
I have used this one before how ever when I came to fix on helmet the attachment that fixes to the camera would not tighten up on a closer view I discovered it was broken. Not Happy
Great battery life (8 hrs). You can set up with the app as view window is small. Time lapse available never used this function. If like me you have two or more you can sync them.together for one touch record. Light weight and easy to use .
Bought 2 of these to go front and back on my bike. The quality is good enough (it’s 1080p HD at 30fps) but it’s no GoPro and has no stabilisation. The sound from the in-built mic is pretty grating but acceptable. However, the battery life is staggering and they are waterproof so don’t need any additional housing. The mount is a standard camera “tripod” mount but there are 3rd party mount options available cheaply on Amazon. Works well enough with a 128Gb card and the app is not too bad.
Can’t really comment on picture quality, as did playback on low Res device, but it is definitely ok. Very happy with battery life, and delivery was super quick!
Only two bad points… I use tag mode a lot, and the camera can only be mounted on the right side of your helmet, you need to press a button to tag the video (save 30seconds (can be changed) either side of the button press). Being on the right side of my helmet means I have to take my hand off the throttle. No good in traffic. To fix this, you’d need a mount on the other side of the camera too. As it stands. I use it upside down then just flip the video during editing.
A mic should be supplied for the price. I got a 1.20 mic and it’s pretty pants.
