Drift Ghost X And Drift Ghost Xl Problems

I am on my second Drift Ghost X .The first Drift Ghost X only lasted 3 months before it pack up but The Sports Bike Shop replace it for a new one free off charge .Now 12 month later that one has gone tits up .This time the USB port has failed and I can not use the external microphone or download from the camera .The only way I can download from the Drift Ghost is to put the sim card directly into my laptop .It was then I realised I had no sound .By all account this is a common fault with the Ghost X and Ghost XL .If you use the USB port a lot ( and you would if you connect the external mic to it the USB) it will fail . When the camera works it is a great piece of kit but I am reluctant to buy another Drift camera for fear of in 12 months time that will fail .Anybody had a Drift Ghost X or Ghost XL long term ( more than a year ) and it is still OK .Need to find out if I was just unlucky before I buy another Drift Camera !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Think you might be right. Think I will use my Drift Ghost X has a door stop and buy a Go Pro they seem to be more reliable

Think you are right ,not going to waste anymore money on Drift they are just not reliable .Think my Drift Ghost X will be refind to the bin and I will look at the Go Pro

 

I e mailed Drift about this problem ,never received a reply

 

Well just received a reply from Drift and basicly they do not want to know and was told to buy a new Drift Ghost XL. 2 Drift camera in 13 months and both have gone tits up in that time and it seems a common fault with Drift products, they do not last. But I have taken Drift's advice. I have brought a new camera. It is called a Go Pro
Stay well clear off Drift camera, they will not last. Pay a bit more a go for a Go Pro. Buy drift camera and you will regret it
