Have a drift but haven't used it yet...next week is the break in.

we've got one too, haven't done much with it yet, downloaded the software for it onto the computer, read the manual, that's about it so far.... didn't have a mount on Sara's helmet this past weekend, or we would probably have had our first bit of footage with it.

go pro is ok.
go pros r the sh!t,mount to anything can take a serious beating,and picture quality is deadly.if u get go pro hd 1 i've found the best setting to b r4 or 960,but if u get the new go pro 2 1080 screen is apperantly just as big.I've beat on my go pro ,dirtbikin,surfin,sleddin,for over 2 years now with zero issues...

If the fatman doesn't bring me a Go Pro I will be probably buy one because it does the same as the others for sledding and quading but it is water proof to 60M or 197' so it will be great for diving ,snorkling sea dooing, water skiing etc

I like the Drift camera. I had the first one that was a non HD and loved it...Pecos' kid has it now and it still works great. Ran the HD 170 all last winter and this past summer and it never missed a beat. Best feature is the remote control...I usually strap it to my handlebar. Second best feature is a little screen so you can preview/delete stuff while out and about. The newest one is just called the Drift HD and has all the same features of the Drift HD170, but is a bunch smaller.

Drift HD. Only camera with a remote and a view screen. Works awesome. Just pick up the long life battery.
