Action Camera's

[webbrent]

We had a few of the Drift Ghosts on the water this weekend at the Bass Challenge. Haven't taken a look at the footage as yet, but sure we got some great footage.

I have a GoPro myself, but must be honest the functionality of the Drift is just as good if not better, but as far as user friendliness goes the Drift has some quirks which allow for easier user operation. Besides the 3 and a half hour estimated recording time on the drift as opposed to the 2 hours on the GoPro there are 4 HUGE selling points for me as a Bass Angler on the Drift. (1) Built in LCD (This is an additional accessory that needs to be purchased with GoPro +- R1000), (2) 300 Degree Rotatable Lense, (3) The dual communicating wrist strap (Gopro wifi pack with remote +- R800) with built in LED's to let you know what feature your Drift unit is on (Video, Picture, Burst Shot etc... and then probably the best selling feature for me, (4) The time stamping feature. It allows you to set a preset time like 10s or 2min or longer, so if you hook into a bass and land it (Usually takes no longer than 2min) then once under better circumstances you hit record, the unit then retrieves the soft recorded data back from 2 min ago and starts hard recording it to the flash card, it then proceeds to record an additional 4min after the 2min period (kind of past, present, future).

All in all...from a price point...The drift comes with a ton of built-in's and standard box content that you need to purchase as optional extra's with the GoPro. Yet the Drift Ghost (Latest Model) and it's Rival (GoPro Black) are priced along the same lines, except for the optional extra's on the GoPro which would set you back another +-R3,000 to get the similar features and abilities.

Here is a comparison sheet Rob, maybe it will help a bit in your decision.
