A very informative read, and excellent camera footage.Really enjoyed watching.Gives a really good insight on what to expect at a track day. I am considering buying a camera and have looked at the Drift range amongst others.
Have you had any problems with your camera ?

Hiya.  The Drift, in my opinion, is very good value for the money.  I believe it is definitively not as good a quality as the gopro but it has many better features.  These are:

• The ability to turn the lense around to an arbitrary position
  
• The fact that it looks better mounted compared to the go pro
  
• Much cheaper
  

The battery life on mine is appalling though and whilst I know a number of people who have bought a stock pile of batteries, my option of keeping it on the fairing resolves a few issues.  These are:

• The Mini USB plug that I use for my satnav can just be plugged in to the camera giving it a permanent supply
• You can't see the speedo, which simplifies youtube and police hassles.

Mine is the 1080P and I've heard better and worse things about both Gopros and Drifts.  My advice is to get a cheap one and if you like it, stick that on the back and invest in a more expensive one of the same type.  The Ghosts and all the cutting edge cameras are massively overpriced IMO.

Buy what makes you happy and ride safe :-)

I have a TCL-SVC200, which has a screen, comes with a remote, and uses a standard Nokia style 5C battery. Spare batteries are around a fiver off ebay.


Cherry on top is that with a cheap adapter that screws into the built-in tripod socket, you can use go pro mounts!!


100 Euros!


Here's the review that made me buy it, instead of the go-pro.
