Excuse the background noise, it was raining on the conservatory roof and the tumble dryer was on full throttle 🙈
It would have been more helpful to have shown footage with the camera facing forward and recording any issue that you might have been approaching.
Can you show how the Loop recording mode works and how to download footage?
So,battery can record with 8 hours nonstop?
Hi, can I ask if there's some way to do HDMI out?
I'd strongly advise against buying one of these, they are simply not fit for purpose. The sound quality is horrendous, there are countless videos of people sticking wind breaks over the microphone in an attempt to get some kind of acceptable sound. When mounted onto a bike the video quality is awful and is just a blur. I've tried different mounts and positions and nothing works. I have a £40 Crosstour camera from Amazon which genuinely does a better job than the Drift. I thought I'd 'upgrade' but all I did was completely waste £150. My brother has exactly the same issues as do many others based on YouTube videos, so it isn't one faulty camera, it's how they are. Rubbish.
Does the xl have image stabilisation ?
And do you know if you can run 2 drift cameras from one remote ?
I’ve got the ghost s and I’m looking at getting a 2nd camera , but it will only work if I can run it from the one remote 🙂
great review, can you help me please?, how do I make the camera rewrite over the card when its full? thanks. Terry
What settings should I use to get the best image quality?
Ive bought one and wasted my money,been given the runaround when tried to return it for repair, so i took it apart to fix it myself and found it is very poorly put together,quite a few of the soldered joints had come loose which included the socket for the usb cable and short circuited some of the internal sockets, so people ,dont waste your hard earned money, i bought a £50 action camera from aldi and the quality is as good as the Ghost X.
Thanks for the great video. Question: is there some knack or technique for rotating the lens? I just bought a Ghost xl but I can't budge the lens. I want to rotate it 90 degrees, so it's oriented the way you had it when you took your bike for a ride at the end of the video. Thanks.
Tive uma Ghost X e duas Ghost XL, todas tiveram o mesmo problema de entrar água de chuva, nunca mais compro, vou voltar para Gopro.
Good review.
Hello Motourev
I have finally bought the XL after a bit of umming and arring over the X or the XL
the external batt on the X or the better placed Mic connection was the reason.
any way bought it and arrived yesterday.. (your video persuaded me)
had concerns about the mic not working looking at other vids on here..
but all is good, but little panic attack at first as I know you need to have the Mic symbol displaying which wasn't at first and was that to make sure that mic lead is pretty tightly screwed in..
I updated the firmware via the Drift site on the computer then when I went on the App there was an even newer firmware on the App , so seems the web site is behind with the times..
I had (still have) the Drift Stealth 2.. which crap for the audio with no ext mic,
so I have jumped straight from the Stealth 2 to this.. I have no idea if any of the other ghost cameras had the vibrate bit on it.. but so far that is my favourite bit along with the big buttons..
and the loud beep, should be able to know when recording easy peasy.
and not as big as first thought obviously bigger than the Stealth..
few adjustments to where to put the mic (i sound like darth vader) and the sensitivity…
so all good so far..
oh in app took me a while how to get the settings up had to watch your video again, yep that cog symbol in top right hand corner, Thanks (what a wally I am)..
oh biggest gripe is there wasn't no stickers in my box, I feel left out (sod knows what I would of done with them though)….
Hi could you tell me if a 64GB card is big enough for 8hrs or do I need a 128GB thanks
2020 / FEB 20 — I bought a 4K model – it failed – it took many months for drift to authorize a replacement – it took months to send a replacement –
They are extremely slow to reply to emails – they promised to send me 2 accessories because of unexpected shipping charges – but months have passed and the promised items have not arrived.
Their customer service is absolutely horrible – good luck if you buy one and it has a problem.

Great review and do you still love it?
Hi motourev: i was just about to order it on Amazon after watching your good review but there were a few, quite a few, bad reviews. Looks like youve owned a few. Whats your overall opinion on reliability etc and is there better options for the price. Also, were you sponsored by them for the video. Many thanks.
Great APP
