What type of microSD Card does the camera support?
The Drift HD supports microSD cards from all leading brands. We recommend class 4 cards for video.
What is the biggest microSD Card I can use?
The Drift HD supports microSD cards with a capacity of up to 32GB.
How does the remote control work?
The remote control uses radio frequency (RF) to communicate directly with the camera unit.The remote is RF based, rather than infrared (IR), as often used in other helmet cameras. As a result, you do not need to point the remote at the camera. As long as the remote is in range of the camera, it will pick up the remote control signal.
How do I charge my HD Lithium Battery?
The HD170 lithium battery is designed to be charged inside the camera. When a power source (wall plug (not supplied) or usb cable) are connected to the back of the camera, the camera will immediately power up. While the camera is powered up the battery is not charging. Please power down the unit by holding the select (on/off) button. The screen will power down, and LED on the select button should turn blue. The camera is now charging.
How far will the remote control work?
The wireless remote control has a range of 5m.
What are the dimensions of the video camera?
The dimensions of the camera are 104 (L) x 50 (D) x 33 (W) mm and the remote control is 52 (L) x 40 (W) x 13 (D) mm.
The videos and photos give me a slight fisheye effect. Is this right?
Yes it is. We specifically selected a 170° lens to provide users with the really quirky wide angle that was prominent in the early days of helmet cameras, particularly in skateboarding. The effect is less pronounced on objects in the distance and more pronounced on objects close to the camera lens. If you prefer a tighter angle, you can use the camera’s zoom function. But we think you’ll grow to love this classic hallmark of action sports video.
How waterproof is the camera?
The Drift HD is designed to be splash-proof, dust-proof, weatherproof, and dunk-proof but not designed to be underwater for sustained periods of time. For most users this level of waterproof-ness is more than adequate. For those users who would like to use the camera in water sports or for scuba/snorkeling an aftermarket waterproof pouch is available.
Why is my 1080p footage jerky when I play it back on my computer?
HD footage requires a powerful computer with a good graphics card to playback smoothly. If you are experience jerky playback, we would advise testing the footage on a HD TV via the HDMI cable (not included): if the footage is smooth it is likely your computer does not have the required graphics ram. If smooth playback is essential in this situation, please try recording in 720p. The minimum amount of dedicated graphics ram for 1080p playback is 256MB, however 512MB is preferred.
