Drift HD & Sidekick

[Cavman]

Some months ago I participated in one of the Kickstart projects so that Light & Motion could bring a new product to market. The product was the Sidekick that would work with a GoPro Hero camera.

About a year ago, someone posted on here that Best Buy had an online one day sale of the Drift HD camera. So, I jumped on that deal and bought one. I had a first generation GoPro Hero camera that crapped out on me. I never knew when the camera worked or recored even anything until I would try to download the card. Lots of times I had nothing!

My Sidekick finally arrived a couple of weeks ago after several months of waiting. Light & Motion had 1000 project sponsors so it was a matter of them getting mine built and shipped....first come basis.

I ordered a Drift suction cup mount for my camera so I could use the adapter parts in the Sidekick to attach them together. This is so that I would have way to hand hold both while using the Sidekick video light with my Drift camera. I had to shorten one part so the adapter screw would reach the threaded hole in the Sidekick. This is the result of pairing of the units:

Nice job. I would really like to see some video samples when you get a chance. No pressure, not in a big hurry but sometime tomorrow would be good.:roflblack:

Sidekick and Side-Kick. There is a hyphen....so they are different .

I use the Drift on the Spyder without the light. The light would be used in situations most likely not mounted? I can use both underwater as I have the underwater housing for the Drift camera. As is, the Sidekick is rated down to 60 meters.
