I have a Drift X170 but it isn't HD. I think it's more streamlined than the goPro and has a screen to view the video which is why I got it. Also has a rotating lens so you can orient the camera regardless of the mounting position. For less than $200, I can live without HD

The Contour format ( *.mov) isn't standard which makes it tough to edit.

A dark horse pops on the scene. I've never heard of the Drift camera Brian. This deserves some more investigation. Thanks

Class 4 works just fine with the HD Hero (gopro). I can't see how it could be any clearer.

I'm going to mount it on the mirror arms.

It's smaller than 2 1/4" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" and has a field of vision of greater than 170 degrees?

I've got a vholdr 1080p HD with a bunch of extras I'm getting ready to sell. If interested, PM me.

I've owned both a vHoldR and a GoPro and I preferred the vHoldR for ease of use while riding.

I just took a look at the site and thought I mad a mistake by buying the gopro; that is until I saw that they want $299 for the waterproof case. I purchased the HD Hero (gopro) for $299 and it included the waterproof case and a bunch of different mounts. I'll give you that the vHoldR is easier to operate with only one button.

:thumbup: Each has it's advantages and disadvantages. Everyone could have a different reason why one is better than the other. In the end, neither one worked very well for me (how I wanted to use a camera while riding) and I sold them both. Many others have had one or the other and really liked them.

Having had both I love the GoPro HD :2thumbs:

Just played with mine yesterday with the class 6. Night and day compared to my buddies that was using a class 4. Could see the reflection in my saddle bag as if was a mirror!:2thumbs:

Okay, okay....where can I pick up a class 6, locally? I know you live around Latham and I live in Syracuse; so, if you purchased at a local camera shop, I can check the locals here. If you purchased at a chain store, which one?

Thanks

As I understand it, the Class system is a rating for the SD/SDHC card. These cards can be purchased at store that sells cameras/chips. The higher the Class rating, the better the chip "captures" the image. There are Class 10 chips available now. Available on the Internet if you can't find them locally.

Picked up a Kingston 32gb on EBAY and had it the next day for $55. But I bought a 8GB at Best Buy for $75.:dontknow: But this way I got a lot of record time!:2thumbs:

You guys that already own an action camera, how often did you use them?
