I have a Drift 170 HD LOVE IT. Tend to use wide screen setting but it takes forever to upload to Youtube. Looks awesome at home though. Don,t see much difference in quality between 720 and 1080. So i run 720 for uploading. I use Windows Live to do any editing. Just got it before Christmas so still Playing and adjusting it.
Heres my youtube page have a look. YouTube - maribou62's Channel
I did one with music but didn,t upload it as i was afraid of copy right infringement LOL!

Drift 170 has a renote so you can just hit a button listen for a beep and VOILA! They all seem to do a good job. My thinking the Drift is more streamlind and only needs a box if your gonna swim with it. Go pro seems to need a box for everything. It does come with one though. I really liked the remote deal though. ( Yeah i know it,s a guy thing LOL).
Plus the mount is a quick attach system, not sure with the Go pro. Mine is velcroed to the top of my helmet. Had no room on the side cause of my goggle quick releases.
I,m not a complete techno nerd so i like Windows live for editing. Pretty simple even for a Truck driver like me ! Have only edited 2 vids so far but worked great. JUst be sure to save after you are done or no other application will open it. Not sure about the non HD 170 either. My thinking bigger is better seen so many grainy youtyube vids so i like the HD.

If you where to buy again would you by the HD? I dont know if HD is worth the money. Your video Looks fine in non HD.

x2 unless you are really going to get into the editing then the x170 is fine, as i have found out my poor laptop can hardly keep up, meaning images and video take up alot of space on your computer.

Anyone know If the drift is sold in any malls in calgary?
I wanted to buy the x170 but couldn't find one so I found a reconditioned HD170 for $214. B&H Photo has a Used Store. The best thing about the HD unit is the lithium-ion battery instead of the AAs that the X170 uses.
I have access to a Blu-ray burner now so HD makes sense. Without the burner I would have stuck with std def.
