Экшн камеры drift hd ghost
There's built-in Wi-Fi for connecting to iOS devices (and eventually Android, too), which can be used to frame shots, change settings, start and stop recordings, shoot photos, and play back video. The polycarbonite housings used with GoPro and other cameras, especially the waterproof ones, will be able to stand up to more, but minor drops shouldn't be an issue for the HD Ghost. Rather than the wide, blocky design of camcorders like the GoPro line, the Drift HD Ghost has a slimmer and longer bullet-shaped body.
Even the most basic action camera comes with a couple of mounts to get you started; Drift goes beyond that, so you don't immediately feel like you need to go out and spend more money.
The Bottom Line With Wi-Fi, an LCD, and a waterproof body, as well as some nice accessories, the Drift HD Ghost uses its features to beat back the action cam competition.
The shape also gives it room for a built-in Gorilla Glass-protected 2-inch LCD for framing and playback and a battery big enough to supply up to 3 hours of recording time. On the opposite side of the body, there's a standard quarter-inch threaded mount, giving you more mounting options than just the quick-connect mount that comes with the camera.
The lens is replaceable in case it gets damaged, and with the screen protected with Gorilla Glass, the camera can take a good deal of abuse.
Though the shape isn't quite as good for chest mounting, it is better for POV mounting on the side of goggles, masks, and helmets.
That's really just the start of what this thing offers, which is good because it's not cheap at $399. For ease of use, having an LCD built in makes a big difference, not only when setting up your shots, but for changing settings, and quickly playing back clips or photos to see if you got the shot you wanted. Strapped to the side of a helmet or pair of goggles, you won't exactly forget it's there, but it's not overly big, either.
The battery, card, and ports are all under a removable hatch on the back with a waterproof seal, helping make the whole device waterproof down to 9 feet. And you really are paying for features here since its video is just above average for a higher-end action cam. You have to be careful just how far back you mount the camera or you may cut off one side of your video with whatever it's attached to.
Included in the package along with goggle and flat- and curved-surface mounts is a wearable RF remote for starting and stopping recordings and changing shooting modes.
The latest entry to the fray is this Ghost HD Action Camera and this little nug comes out shooting with LED remote control, a 2-inch GorillaGlass LCD screen, a glass lens and the longest battery life on the market.
This isn't uncommon with action cams (or other cameras for that matter), but it means you'll have to get one before you can start shooting.
There's no shortage of options when it comes to action cams, but Drift Innovations' Drift HD Ghost manages to differentiate itself with design and features.
Colored LEDs give you visual feedback so you know what you're doing, and the remote can be used to control multiple cameras (should you have the need and finances). It takes mere moments to set up even after you unbox the Drift HD Ghost, and thanks to the Drift Mobile App, you are able to preview and line up a shot remotely from your handset, alter camera settings, shot recording, photo capture and playback, directly over on your mobile device.
