Product Description
Introducing The New Drift HD Camera
The thing about Drift is, they don't rush to catch up with the competition, they listen to feedback and always manage to get it right. This has been proven with the all new Drift HD. This camera record in true 1080p HD format at 30 frames per second, capturing clean, clear, stunning video suitable for putting your viewers right into the action seat. The Drift HD also has the capability to record in 720p at a range of frame speeds, 25, 30, 50 and 60. This is ideal for slow motion… because if you have even seen the kind of buttery smooth, slow motion footage 720p provides you with when filming at 60fps, you know exactly what I am talking about. In addition to this, the Drift HD also has the ability to take big, detailed 9 megapixel stills, perfect for action packed prints. The other beautiful thing about this camera is the fact that Drift has managed to pack in a whack of incredible features, while keeping everything that was awesome about the previous camera - while reducing the overall body by 25%. That is a pretty drastic improvement, making this camera sail to the top of many boys and girls wishlists.
Some of the awesome features are returning from the original HD170, but hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. First off, we have the big, bright 1.5" LCD screen, perfect for preview and navigation. Secondly, Drift again includes the advantage of a nice, wide 170º lens, perfect for capturing the whole scene and on top of this it features quality, on-board sound. Speaking of sound, if you need a little boost, the Drift HD is equipped with an external microphone port - perfect for bringing your videos to that next level.
The Drift HD sports a built in HDMI output as well, this is handy for reviewing your raw footage right on your TV or computer screen, without having to transfer and convert files first. Another nice addition to this model is the replaceable lens, now if you crack your camera lens, the entire camera doesn't end up in the trash… it's just a minor setback with a quick fix.
Onto mounting, because let's face it, this is where the videographer's creativity runs wild… and Drift supports that outlet with their completely revamped mounts and mounting system. The Drift HD is completely capable of mounting to pretty much any surface, making it a fantastically versatile camera. Toss in the wireless remote and pump that creativity and professional quality, no matter where you are filming from.
This camera is the perfect balance of the old and new, reusing useful features from previous models, while adding new, exciting ones for a very competitive price. The Drift HD is the camera for anyone who is serious about POV action recording. Get the Drift HD and get out there.

This setting captures the most buttery smooth, creamy slow motion footage you can imagine, but you can also drop the frame rate down to 25, 30 or 50 if you need to save disc space. Either way, HD is better, no matter how you look at it.

Built in Sound, or Bring Your Own
The Drift HD incorporates a quality mic, with optional sensitivity control built in to the unit. However, if you are looking for something a little more professional, there is also an external microphone port, which allows you to connect an external mic, like the RODE Portable Mic - a great add on for the Drift HD camera.
Playback and Review via HDMI
The Drift HD's built in HDMI output is a brilliant feature, allowing the user to connect the camera directly to the computer or TV in order to review footage. This is awesome because it means you can review footage before editing without having to transfer and convert files first.
External Ports are Protected
The Drift HD incorporates some improvements, including the newly revamped back panel, which enables you to charge the camera via the USB or connect the camera via the HDMI - without exposing the inside of the camera.
Mounting System Updated and Improved
The newly redesigned mounting system allows the Drift HD to mount easily thanks to the built in 1/4", 20 thread tripod connection. This makes mounting the Drift HD a snap whether using Drift Innovations own mounts (such as the redesigned goggle mount), our RAM Mount Kits or any other standard universal mounting system. Easier, more adaptable mounting gives allows you to boost the creative factor in your films.
Lithium Ion Batteries increase Power and Reduce Waste
The days of standard AA and AAA batteries are over in Drift land. The Drift HD draws its power from the included long life Lithium Ion battery, reducing waste and increasing the camera's continuous recording time to 2.5 hours. Once you run out of juice, the batteries are easily recharged via the USB cable connected to the camera and computer, or by using the optional Battery Charging Dock.
