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. Rather than the wide, blocky design of camcorders like the GoPro line , the Drift HD Ghost has a slimmer and longer bullet-shaped body.

The Drift HD Ghost packs in all the features competitors charge extra for, like a built-in LCD and Wi-Fi; it's waterproof without requiring a housing; a wireless remote is included; it has a mic jack for an external mic; its battery life is very good, and the battery is removable

The camera menu system, while easy to understand, can be a pain to navigate; video is very good, but is not without issues; and, as with many cameras, you'll have to supply your own microSDHC card for storage

Use for mountain biking Not too bulky on top of my helmetDoesnt have setting for reducing shaky images but neither does the gopro

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

This is a really great camera. Love the fact that it comes with a built-in screen and it is great to be able tell what mode I am in with the different colour LED lights that show up on my remote and the camera. Would definitely recommend this action camera. .

The other strap-it-on-and-get-rad cameras out there - the GoPros and the Contours and the Ions - are all pretty sick in their own right. But for ease of use, no camera is sicker than Drift Action's HD Ghost cam .

With a 300-degree rotating lens, two-way remote control and LCD screen, the Drift HD Ghost comes prepared to go to work. By far the biggest camera we tested, the Ghost's lens is the device's best feature, built from Drift's patented "Gorilla Glass" and adjustable to compensate for unleveled...

With a 10x optical zoom and a built-in two-inch LCD screen, the Drift HD Ghost sounds like a great option on paper, especially if you know you'll want to check out the results while you're still in the Great Outdoors.

Like the Contour Roam2 , the Drift HD Ghost looks fantastic. The camera has a tough exterior and is waterproof to 3m down out of the box, without requiring a separate housing. It's flexible in how you mount it, too.

Wear it on my crash helmet for general riding recording..BUT most of the time I have it set to "tag" to record good, bad and near miss bit's..Excellent piece of kit especially the remote strap on wrist control!

Pros: Low profile, good battery life, functional menu, decent quality images, lightweight Cons: No inverse function (images remain upside down), USB and HDMI port not easily accessible (even when using the alternate cover), not a GoPro.
