When we last took a look , the Drift HD came in last in ouraction television camera battlemodo . It had a lot of features that we really like , but image quality was n’t up to snuff .

The new Drift Ghost , though , prognosticate even more feature , not the least of which is a new solidification of optics .
The Drift Ghost still keep that built - in blind , but now it ’s covered with solid Gorilla Glass 2 , which should facilitate keep it from getting scratch . It now comes practice bundling with a rather cagy two - way remote control . The remote control ( which is wearable ) , permit ’s you lead off / stop transcription and modification modes . The slickest part is that it has an direct index which let you know when the tv camera is record and when it is n’t . Very handy when it ’s strapped to the top of your head . It ’s a tiny detail , but passing handy .
The Drift now has progress - in Wi - Fi , allowing for control , playback , and file transfers via smartphone apps . It ’s also waterproof as - is to a deepness of nine feet . That ’s plausibly rainproof for most of your risky venture , and for others , you may get buy a case that should be good for up to 180 feet mysterious . There ’s also a fairly nerveless trick on the software program side called Flashback . It basically records footage into a five - minute cache that is continually floor , unless you choose to chase it by keep it . In other give-and-take , you realize that awing thing you ’ve been expect all day for pass three proceedings ago . As long as it was in this mode and channelize in the veracious direction , you should be covered as long as you ’re within that five minute window ( though this way will sure as shooting eat barrage a heap quicker than standby ) .
Hopefully the biggest upgrade is the new “ seven element lens ” on the Drift Ghost . This is the main reason we ’re looking frontwards to moderate it out . Footage on the Drift HD was really pretty dread . If they ’ve truly doctor that , it could be a photographic camera to consider . At the same time , with theContour+2 , theSony Action Cam , and theGoPro Hero 3all being resign in just the last couple of month , competition is firm . Both the Hero 3 and the Sony can frivol away 720p video at 120 frame per bit . The Hero 3 can also shoot 1080p at 60fps ( not to mention 4 K video at 15fps ) . The Drift ca n’t do either of those things , which have in mind nobuttery slo - mofor you . That aside , we ’ll have to compare frames to see how it all works out .
