What do I honestly think of the Drift Ghost XL. And would I recommend it to anyone?
The equipment I use to make these videos:-
Helmet camera - Sena 10cPro
Bike camera front and rear - 2 x Drift Ghost XL
Vlog Camera - DJI Osmo Pocket
Studio camera - Canon EOS 70D
Gimbal - DJI Ronin
Drone - DJI Mavic Pro
Photography Camera - Canon EOS 5D MK2

I'm definitely buying one of these, probably the XL Pro. My GoPro Hero 5 battery lasts 30 minutes if I'm lucky and the crazy mic adaptor arrangement has made my helmet look like Jodrell Bank. Great video, thanks!

Spent about 8 hours researching GoPros for my helmet, and only realised at the end, they're woefully lacking in battery life. Think the XL plus the external mic is for me. Unlock the gopros, adding external mic is thankfully cheap as chips.

I understand that Event Protection will record if theres a punch or sudden stop. Can I manually trigger and save the event by pressing some buttons? On the Ghost XL

Yes, it's called video tagging. I know this is old question but for any new viewers. You set the length, kinda like loop recording, then when you see something interesting, hit the record button to save it. It will save the same amount of time before and after you hit the button. Also easier if you purchase the remote to do so.

As I said in the video, I bought two of these cameras and after using them for 5 months I noticed that ONE of them had let in water. Because it was still under warranty I was able to get a replacement which I have not had any problems with. I must have got a bad camera.

Be careful when you are in clone mode. I have not tested it yet but if you format the SSD in the master, will it will format the slave ? You could end up loosing all your footage from the slave camera by mistake ... Did you find this ? Also, just found out about the one touch record setting causing external (helmet) mic to distort badly. I have very recently purchased the XL and have now flashed the FW to 2046 to see if it fixes the problem. Will test ASAP. Otherwise you have to disable one touch record and use a BT remote or the embedded control. I bought this camera for the one touch record capability myself so if the FW change does not sort it I will be disappointed. Be safe!

No I never format any cards until I know the footage is safe on a hard drive. But I do don’t know that, so good to know. I never know de the one touch system. I don’t record sound on the drifts only footage as my audio is recorded on my Sena

I had a Ghost XL Pro and it was truly dreadful. The battery would not hold a charge and despite reaching out to Drift on many occasions, and the fact it was still in warranty, they would not help at all. Their after sales service is non existent and, interestingly, you will not find an address or telephone number for them anywhere on their website!! I would highly recommend not buying one of these cameras but go for something like the DJI Oslo Action 4, a far better all round camera.
