Drift Ghost HD Camera

Depends on price.. My mate emailed me yesterday about 1.. He has offer of 2 at £570... Not much of a saving I don't think..

 

I'm looking to purchase but at right price. Few deals starting to appear on these

 

Ok I have one othese now... Very nice..

What I would like to know is just how good are the sticky pads?
I have stuck one on the carbon radiator shroud facing forward, seems a good position... Is it safe?

Have purchased a few mounts as well so will try a few other positions as well.... Want to try and get one on the handle bar, but SatNav takes up quite a bit of room..

Hoping to get some good film of the alps...

 

Be interested to see how you get on - I didn't get the handle bar mount as I thought it would be too low behind the instruments. Pretty much decided I'll just stick with the helmet mount - that way I can add a mic - if only to cancel the wind noise - and if ever there was an incident at least you know you'll catch it just by looking that way!

 

very quick test with camera.

 

Really like that camera position SB - where and how?!!! :upyeah:

 

looks really good Screwball :upyeah:

 

Nice one SB pic quality is really good

 

BB self adhesive pad on top of radiator cowl.
Very happy with result...

 

Have to say very happy with camera so far... Going on trip next week so will hopefully get some good footage.
May also place pad on helmet... Bought some handlebar mounts but don't think I will use them...

 

Will have to have a look at that - although I'm sitting here with my helmet in bits - just fitted my new Drift mic - which means the camera will have to be on the helmet! Not really looking to make running commentaries - just get rid of the windnoise and hopefully pick up some bike noise!
Was planning to get out this morning and experiment with angles and field of view settings - rain though so hopefully to tomorrow!

 

Yep fixed a pad to helmet and tested it with iphone (great App for testing.) under normal riding positions the speedo should hopefully be hidden from view...:upyeah:
will see after the trip...

 

Haven't had chance to confirm yet but 170 deg gave a good view of road AND speedo / rev counter (good for track days) whereas 130 not only narrowed the view but also seemed to cropp top and bottom so speedo out of sight. I say not confirmed though as I'm not completely sure I had the Universal mount set at the same angle - may have been out by one notch...
Was trying the narrower angle because 170 was capturing quite a bit of my helmet - using a flip up (C3) so have to set the mount back a bit.
And Yes - the iphone definitely beats a mirror to help setting up!
