Drift HD Vs Drift HD Ghost

Motorcycling
1

Im thinking about buying a new helmet cam over the next few weeks.
I know how much everyone raves about Go pro’s etc. But I have no interest in looking like I have a bit of scaffolding coming off the side of my lid.

So Iv been looking at the ‘Drift Hd’s’
Although there a little old now and the new HD Ghost has replaced them.

Drift HD sells for around £105
Drift Hd Ghost sells for around £260
(Both New)

I cant Justify spending £260 on a camera that (IMO) doesn’t actually look like its worth the extra £155

Here’s a random video that I found on the tube, which I think has helped me make a decision.

Does any one have either of these?
Pro’s/Con’s?

Cheers

I bought the Ghost for the remote control tagging feature and the better night vision.

You press the tag button and it stores the past 2mins and continues to record for the next 2 mins.
This way you’re not just continuously wasting SD card space. The only clips you have are the ones you have tagged. That eliminates the need to sift through hours of footage and means you dont need to clear your SD card as often.

The standard Drift will struggle to show anything at night on poorly lit roads. The Drift Ghost will be fuzzy, but at least you can still see.

You can get the Drift Ghost for £225 at ActionCameras using the P18710 discount code.

Also if I’m not mistaken it’s the (larger chunky) Drift HD 720 that you can get for about £100.
That video shows the Drift HD 1080 which is about £150 before discounts.

Just realised the one im looking at is the Hd 1080 (Manufacturer refurb) £105

HD 720 can be found for £80.

Dont really want to spend more than £100 on one.
Might have to look at used ones…

aren’t you going to sort out your exhausts first?

I got the one just before the ghost - Drift HD 1080. It’s not bad at night as long as you have street lights. Ghost has a lot more features but I don’t see the point in spending that sort of money as I am not really a big time youtube Vlogger/uploader. Maybe if I had more viewers I would as I would be uploading more regularly. If you are going to use it for the basic’s I couldn’t reccomend the 1080 enough.

Here my video’s http://www.youtube.com/user/UkHqD1708/videos

PS: Prem you need to upload more vid’s. Couldn’t stop laughing at that scooter domino effect ‘crash’.
