Product Description:

The Drift HD helmet camera comes with mounts and cables included so that all you need to grab is a microSD card and you are ready to film. The Drift HD comes with a standard rechargeable lithium-ion battery (the HD170 long life battery does not fit the Drift HD due to its size) that you can recharge in the camera via USB or with the optional Drift Battery Charger Cradle. The helmet mount clip that comes with the Drift HD has been upgraded and now works as both a helmet mount and a goggle mount. The underside of the mount is heavily textured to improve grip and stability when using it as a goggle mount.

The Drift HD helmet camera has excellent connectivity and features that give you lots of flexibility. The camera has a USB port so that you can hook it up to your computer and download your clips for review and editing. The Drift HD also has a HDMI (type D) output which allows you to play back your clips in all their glory directly onto your HD TV. You can stream video directly from the camera while you are recording through the HDMI output as well.

In addition to the onboard microphone which has variable sensitivity that you can adjust, you also have the option of hooking up an external microphone to the 2.5mm female jack (a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor is also available). This is a great option for car racers, vloggers and anyone who wants to commentate their ride.

The Drift HD features a new rear port cover design - the rear hatch is now removable and has a centre screw that holds it in place. The Drift HD comes with a second rear port cover with cut-outs for the USB and microphone ports so you can run cables to these ports and still have the rear of the camera closed and protected.

The back side of the Drift HD has a 1/4" female tripod thread embedded in to the camera body so you connect the camera to mounts like monopods, roll bar mounts and suction cup mounts without the need for an adaptor.

One of the most important features a helmet camera can have is ease of use and the Drift HD has it in spades thanks to the built in color LCD screen and wireless remote control. The LCD screen on the side of the camera serves a lot of different purposes. You can use the screen to line up your shot, taking the guess work out of where the camera is pointing and what you are recording. You can also use the screen to play back your clips to instantly relive the moment and confirm that you are getting the shots you want. The Drift HD also has an easy to navigate menu that you can use to change settings and delete clips and photos to free up space on your memory card.

The wireless remote control that comes included with the Drift HD has two large buttons: one for starting recording and one for stopping. They are easy to use even with gloves on. You can use the supplied wrist strap to mount the remote control or get the optional remote control bar mount. The Drift HD gives off a loud audible beep to let you know that the recording has stopped
