DRIFT HD Ghost Bedienungsanleitung PDF herunterladen

f you’ve been onto YouTube any

time in the past year, you might

have noticed that the world is

going nuts for first-person POV

(point of view) clips.

I have to admit that I’m a big fan. The

more extreme the sport the better, and

with view counts into the millions, it’s no

surprise that with such a high demand,

the camera business now has some tasty

new toys.

The Ghost is a very good-looking piece

of hardware. I like the shape. It’s a lot

more aerodynamic than some of its rivals,

which is a good start for things like

motorsport and wing suiting.

The camera feels nice and tough too,

which is great for pastimes like mountain

biking and parkour. So tough that there is

no included protective housing — and it

is guaranteed waterproof up to 3 metres

straight out of the box.

A removable hatch at the back covers

the battery, card and ports. The bullet

shape is tailor-made for helmet, mask

and goggle-mounting, but there’s also

a standard ¼-inch threaded mount,

providing multiple mounting choices.

The shape also allows space for a 2-inch

Gorilla Glass-protected LCD, which is

great for playback and framing up.

Of course if the thing’s already on your

head, you can also frame up on your iOS

device through the built-in Wi-Fi and the

Drift app. With this, you can also change

settings, shoot photos, start and stop

recordings and play back video.

Transfer, upload and edit functions are

also available through the app, making

the whole process completely mobile. The

large buttons on the top of the camera

can be used to navigate, while Android

compatibility is reportedly in the works. I

think they’re in the beta stage right now.

The lens can be easily changed should

the original get damaged, and covers a

170 degree field of view, which is a wide,

distorted view. It’s essentially a three-

way field of view (FOV) lens, with a focus

depth of 0,5 metres to infinity, and there

are three menu-selectable settings:

super-wide 170, standard-wide 127, or

normal 90 degrees. It can

also be manually rotated

through 300 degrees, allow

ing any orientation required.

One of my favourite features

is the adjustable frame rate. The

standard 25 frames per second (fps)

will record 1080p and can be pushed up

to 30 fps at the same resolution.

At 720p, you have the option of 25, 30,

50 or 60 fps. The higher the frame rate,

the smoother the slow-motion effect.

This drop in resolution is pretty standard

even with big film cameras.

Video files can be recorded in both

MP4 (a compressed format for easy

sharing) and Quicktime MOV format for

full resolution. Still images are recorded

as JPEGs in increments of 11, 8 and

5 Megapixels, and all images are

recorded on an optional microSDHC

card with support up to 32 GB.

There are four operational modes to

choose from: Video, Photo, Time Lapse

and Burst. Video mode allows for resolu

tion, frame rate, FOV and exposure con-

trol. Photo mode allows for resolution,

FOV and exposure control.

The two others allow additional crea

tive control and the Time Lapse mode

lets you capture a single image. The

Burst function allows multiple images

to be automatically captured, both at

specific time intervals.

Another fantastic feature is the

industry-first, two-way LED remote. An

included wrist strap means you can wear

it like a wristwatch and it can be charged

using the provided USB cable.

There are two big buttons, which

start and stop recording. A green light

indicates the camera is ready to record,

while a red light confirms that recording

is in progress. It’s a nice, easy way to

quickly tell what’s going on, so that you

can concentrate on what you’re doing.

The overall image is nicely detailed with

vivid colours. On a computer, the results

are crisp and quite richly hued, and on an

HD TV, it all comes to life very nicely for a

piece of tech this size. The sound quality

is nothing to be snubbed at either.

It’s a fantastic step in the right direction

for Drift. The shape alone sets it apart,

and the features kick ass. The price is not

bad for all those bells and whistles, so if

you’re in the market for an action camera,

type Drift HD Ghost into that ol’ YouTube

search bar, and see for yourself.
