Let's talk about the Drift HD

[kryten]

Ok so after several people suggested the Drift HD I decided to get one and try it out. At first I loved it. The freedom of being able to open and close my helmet to get air and not having a camera shoved up my nose was wonderful. The camera seemed to produce a sharp image but it was a little dark. The video it produced was tolerable.

Then I did a firmware update. I'm not sure if there was a new default setting in the update that killed it but now my videos are very blurry. They almost look as bad as first generation GoPro videos. Has anyone else had that experience since updating the firmware? I haven't had this many camera issues since my early days of vlogging and trying in vain to get a good camera angle with my V570.

I've still not updated mine since I got it, I've never had a problem with the Drift, bit they do seem to be very hit and miss as to whether they work for people.

i have updated mine, and had no problem, mine has worked faultlessly since i got it.

I updated my drift stealth and didnt have any issues. I would suggest contacting the drift support, because I have heard they are top notch. send them an email and I'm sure they will help you fix it. I hear it is same day service.

Same happened to me with my first HD170 I got at the NEC, after its first update it was fracked! told actioncameras.co.uk and boom! sent back and got a full brand new unit + mounts and cables before Crimbo
