where is the delete post button??
i just bought the drift HD stealth camera. I like it.
Not fully waterproof, can put it in a waterproof case though.
It films good at 127 and 170 wide angle and is similar to the go pro hero.
whats good...it has a radio frequency wrist band on off button....this made me buy it. can mount camera on a pole way in back of kayak..activate and deactivate record with it.
can buy an extra heavy duty battery for 4 hours record time...16 gig card gets you about 4.5 hrs record time.
it has several mounting options.
bad...need the external mike if you want true sound ..it;s a little muffled with the internal mike. not real bad. but to use the external mike you have to have the back hatch flopping open i'm worried about breaking it or something.
your looking at about $400 for what u need.
but..very soon the new drift hd mini cam comes out...might want to wait for that.
i really liked my optio w9. it has a remote on off but the battery life is too short to leave on standby long. limited available mounting options compared to the drift.
last thing on the drift hd. the lens has the fish eye effect a little. makes object 20 feet+ farther away than they are. RAge CAMS has a 2.8 MM replacement lens...they are making a video that will show how to replace lens yourself. So you can have wide angle, and far away objects won't be so tiny.
