    Here is a video I made using these cameras. Your video will look better than it appears on YouTube due to compression artifacts.

    The first song is White Line by Neil Young & Crazy Horse from the album Ragged Glory.

    The second song is The Road to Hell (Part II) by Chris Rea from the album The Road to Hell.

    IIRC, 720P at 30 frames/sec should give you 8hrs on a 32Mb card.

    Based on your recommendation, I bought one today and it is now charging. I'm looking forward to using it.

    I shot this video with my drift, I haven't done many, but it has worked
    great, gotta get another mount as I only have a side mount, The one I
    put on top of the helmet was not located well. I didn't position itl as I
    would have liked. (Live and learn)

    Heck I just might run over to best buy and pick up another

    Wow, that's $10 cheaper than the Best Buy one day deal they did a couple of months ago that was posted here. Got one then.

    Default Very nice!!!

    Love your transitions....this seems better than the $400.00 goPro. Are the transitions part of the firmware editing program?

    I have hesitated to buy one of these because I always thought the editing of the raw film would just chew up too much time. What say you. The videos are quite good and make it look like someone spent a lot of time on them.

    The camera is mounted on the cowl just behind the wind deflector using a suction cup mount. IMG_1538.jpg The lens is positioned just outside the defector.

    The GoPro has the best picture quality but is the hardest to use. In my opinion the Drift is a notch below the GoPro in PQ but is much less complicated to use plus has a remote. It has been my experience that no matter how good a product is, if it is difficult to use, it doesn't get used.

    The transitions are standard iMovie tools.

    It can be time consuming putting video together. I just mess around with it because I've always enjoyed photography and this is like photography on steroids. I don't do professional looking videos like a lot of others on here, Ticketbait being one, so my videos don't take me that long to make. I don't use complicated video software, I just use what came on my computers, iMovie and Movie Maker.

    Thinking of getting the Drift HD720 to record some video on my Trip to Germany later this year on my Spyder RT-S SE5 2010 Model

    Don't want to put holes in the tupperware So there are 2 options I am looking at

    1 Attach the Drift to my helmet or

    2 Use this -
    Item No: 30-015-00 - Drift Shoulder Mount

    The Drift Shoulder Mount is the perfect accessory for capturing your point of view when the action goes down. The shoulder mount is fully adjustable to suit all sizes and is compatible with all Drift cameras.

    Great for snow, motor, skate: any sport where you want to get a unique first person perspective without following the movement of your head. The shoulder mount is a great alternative to helmet mounting.




    Has anyone used this shoulder mount and if so is there any Videos to show the results of how it performs and the type of view you get from using one

    Update -

    Bought one on Tuesday.
    Plugged it in to charge and played with it while plugged in.. so far so good.
    Unplugged it to run off battery - Nothing, zip, nada.

    Apparently it's all over the DRIFT technical support forums that many units refuse to charge the battery.
    Unless DRIFT responds to my support ticket or Best Buy exchanges this one with one that works, I'm taking my $80 back.

    Almost as bad as limp mode! I'll keep using my $300 GoPro thank you.

    DRIFT customer support was kind enough to ship me a new battery, but by that time I already returned the unit for a refund.
