Product Information

Keeping with the waterproof features, a waterproof adapter enables you to connect to accessories such as a mic or external power source. This I like as it means that you can mount and essentially not have to worry about the power going to the camera or record a voice-over through the action if required, perfect if you’re thinking about a bit of rally driving! However, the real achilles heel is long periods of steady rain or drizzle, which given enough time can work their way past the waterproofing and destroy the electronics. My first camera died like this and as it was just out of warranty Drift support couldn't/wouldn't help. There's no external waterproof case for it (unlike the Ghost X). Drift support can be hit-and-miss and is always slow too. However, in windy conditions, you might not like the sound quality. I prefer using an external microphone for this camera. Drift Ghost XL External Microphone You get the option to set the tagged interval which denotes the durations your videos will be shot at.

Drift is one of the world's most experienced and trusted wearable camera brands. Since 2009, Drift's innovative approach to usability, design and dedication to its customers ensures it provides award-winning cameras at highly affordable prices. A small, dedicated and passionate team based in London, Drift specialises in wearable action cameras including the flagship Ghost 4K, a fully-featured Ultra HD modular action camera. Out on trial, and the mounting options are well beyond the GoPro or, for that matter, any other action camera; want to put it on your bike forks? Not a problem; attach and rotate the lens. At the end of the test, the Drift Ghost XL Pro put in a solid performance; being able to mount the camera in ways that would usually be impossible gives you plenty more options when it comes to filming and enables plenty of fun. In use, it performs well with the large buttons and beep, enabling you to easily operate the camera even if you can’t directly see it. You have the option to choose the interval time that the camera will use to record in loops. E.g. if you go with the 2 minutes interval and record for an hour, you will find 30 video files saved in your memory card each with a recording time of 2 minutes. Video Tagging While the Ghost XL Pro offers plenty of mounting options, it doesn’t offer quite so many advanced features. There is a screen, although it’s a mono LCD rather than a full-blown colour touch screen.

This is a big, sturdy camera with big, sturdy mounts and some potentially useful features for cars and motorcycles. Despite the (big, sturdy) addition of bar and helmet mounts for bicycles, though, little about the Ghost XL makes it particularly good for cycling. Verdict For motorcyclists, this is the camera of choice; its sleek, low-profile design sits easily on the side of a helmet. For motorsports, the ability to rotate the lens to get a level horizon is a godsend when attached to a roll cage. This mode allows you to overwrite old files when the memory card is full. A file recorded in when events detection is on will not be overwritten. Simple and solid essentially sums up this action camera. The sleek design makes it a perfect option for side mounting on a helmet, and with a huge array of mounts available, attaching it to almost anything isn’t difficult. No Subscription!

I’m puzzled that no one has yet either spotted the need for or been able to design a camera that fits the use-case described above. Perhaps it’s not as attractive a market segment as I’m imagining it would be. The Ghost XL camera has a maximum video resolution of 1080p at 30 frames per second. This means that it can shoot videos at full HD.There are also no in-built story modes or many other fancy features or modules that we have come to expect from GoPro or Insta360; the Drift Ghost XL Pro is just a pure no-fuss action camera. This feature will activate video recording when you are in an important incident, it does that using the gyro sensor. Under Time Lapse photo settings, you have the opportunity to navigate through the photo Resolution and Time Lapse Interval. When it comes to using the Drift Ghost, XL Pro is one of the easiest action cameras to use. It’s been designed to be as simple as possible, even when using gloves or underwater. The large button closest to the lens starts and stops recording with the light changing to indicate that the recording has started; another press to finish.
