Loving my new Drift HD170 that the wife got me for xmas

For those of you that have a standard definition GoPro or equivalent or want to go HD but can't justify £300 Get one here - http://amzn.to/tIbSYX for £124.99 Great camera for the price. I made a video comparing it with a Standard GoPro. Youtube doesn't do the difference justice but you can see the difference.

You can deffo see a difference there. Bloody good price too.

nice picture but looking at reviews they reckon they suffer from wind noise and reccomend a extra mic

yeh i found with mine that sticking a round corn plaster over the mic helps cut out the wind noise to almost zero so you can just hear the motor.
also its difficult to show the vids in 1080 as youtube reduces the resolution to 720.
the only benefit the gopro has is the watertight cse compared to the drift's rubberised housing, but mine hasnt seen any ill effects from rain or jetwashing!
(forgot it was there lol)
another good thing on the drift is it has a standard tripod mount so you can use any camera accessories with it unlike the gopro.
i got a top suction pad for mine off ebay for a fiver

will be some good footage at this years wales bash then - ive got a 16gb card in mine, unlike the 30 min vids on the gopro this thing will record all day.

I'm not sure I like the setting I have used in Sony Vegas. Its made it too letterboxy. I'll try again with a different setting.

I'll try plaster thing as the wind noise is bad, even on the low setting.

I would film and upload them all in 1080 but my PC struggles with 720p lol You tube can manage them in 1080 mate.

I have one of the £5 suction mounts too. If only all suction was as cheap as that eh?

I just love the remote too. Awesome.

Yeah it is pretty good. I'm going for a final production version now just to get the feel of it if you get me.

Wheelie? Whats that? Sounds rude!

Final edited version

good video but would rather have the noise of the bike than music
