  • AUDIO ISSUES & Non-responsive/ slow Customer Service
Color: Black
The media could not be loaded. I purchased the GHOSTXL on May 14, 2022. Since day one the audio recording was not right. When I could not find a solution after several days I reached out to Drift via Amazon. They fairly quickly seemed to get confused and forwarded me to Drift directly for “better support”. The camera never recorded audio correctly via the external microphone. Using the same microphone and required Drift adapter resulted in two very different experiences. If manually starting the recording (power on the unit with a long press then press a second time to start recording) the audio was great. If you turn on the one button recording feature (quick press the on button and the recording instantly starts) the audio is very distorted. Several email and video exchanges with Drift resulted in going thru hoops to try and get the issue across to them. In the end, they wanted me to try a Drift Microphone (and make another sale of their own branded products) but I failed to see the logic in their request. They were either truly not getting it, stalling and hoping I would go away. At one point I was asked (and I complied) to roll back the firmware on my camera. They also seemed to get confused a few times during out emails. PROS • Great Battery Life • Very good Image quality • Versatile mounting options • Very good build quality CONS • Proprietary external microphone jack cable • External microphone sound quality issues in auto (one button) record • Little to no customer support I returned the camera 6/13/22; one day before the return deadline with Amazon Prime. THANK YOU AMAZON for your support in making this right. Although I can’t be 100% sure, I feel DRIFT would have dragged their feet well beyond any return window and I have no confidence they would have provided a resolution as they were quick to offer groundless suggestions, almost as it they were not reading my emails or did not understand the issue. I am showing the emails below for those why may be curious as to what they may expect when reaching out to Drift for support. I loved my GHOSTX (older camera) and wanted to love this one, but the customer service experience was a total let down. The product is great a when it works, but the support behind I felt was lacking. I have attached a short video of the audio issue. I sent these same videos to DRIFTC support. In the end, I do not want to be stuck with a camera that does not work as promised and with no resolution in sight. Should DRIFTC reach out to me I will gladly update my review and rating but only if they step up and do what's right. I am not the only person with this issue. A quick search for this model and "audio issues" will easily show what others have been dealing with. My situation is not unique. If they reach out via email to me and can provide me a logical reason how the microphone can cause this then I will update this as well. Such a shame, I liked the camera otherwise I love my older DRIFTX and had high hopes for this camera. Maybe they will correct this issue in a future release. CHEERS, SEQUENCE OF EMAILS LOOKING FOR SUPPORT 5/20/22 Send To: Drift Innovation Ltd 05/20 19:16:04 Hello, I just purchased a new GHOST XL (Serial AT1350 with Firmware v2034). The microphone distorts badly when using the instant record feature. When I manually turn on the unit and manually start recording, the distortion does not exist. Can DriftC help me address this issue so I can use the feature? Thank you, From: Drift Innovation Ltd 05/20 19:58:43 Have you checked to see if this is the latest version of firmware from our Drift website? If it is, please contact our support team via the Drift Innovation website so they can support. Cheers Drift Amazon Team 5/21/22 Send To: Drift Innovation Ltd 05/21 14:33:17 Per my original email my firmware is v2034. The website shows Version v2029 (30/04/2021). I assume the one I have is newer, I am not sure why that would be the case but it seems that way. Is the Version v2029 newer than my v2034? Thank you, From: Drift Innovation Ltd 05/21 15:02:05 Unfortunately we cannot see the links to urls shared in this chat as amazon block it. However, the version on our website is the latest so we recommend you download that via the Drift Life app or your computer 5/22/22 Send To: Drift Innovation Ltd 05/22 14:29:04 I sent no URL, so I'm not sure why the link is removed, there was no link. The DRIFTC website has v2029. My XL says it has v2034. You want me to installv2029 over V2034 - Correct? From: Drift Innovation Ltd 05/22 15:37:55 We do not have the XL Pro firmware online as you have the latest version, you are looking at the XL model. Please contact our support team via our website so they can support your issue. Please use XXXXXX as your name when contacting so I can get them to escalate. We cannot do it here as Amazon don’t allow us to share contact details 5/21/22 (First Email to Drift via web contact – not thru Amazon) 21 May 2022, 22:44 BST Hello, I am having issues with my new GHOST XL camera. I have tried to resolve the issue with DRIFT via Amazon messaging. I have a microphone issue with this unit that persists. The issue presents when I use the instant on/ one touch record feature. The audio is very distorted. If I start the camera then manually start recording, the issue is not present. This occurs regardless of what mic I use. The fact I am using the same mic and mic adapter (supplied with the unit) tells me this must be a firmware, setting or some other camera issue. I have also tried adjusting the mic sensitivity down to 1 with the same results. Can you assist and let me know if there is a resolution for this known issue and if the v2034 firmware my camera came with is newer than the v2029 that is currently listed on the website. I fear all I will get from Amazon chat is canned responses and they already suggested I contact you. Thank you for your assistance, Thank you for contacting Drift. Your ticket number is (46825) Your request has been received and is currently being reviewed by our team. We will get back in touch as soon as possible. In the meantime you can have a look at our support page to help you out with your request: (removed link) You can add any additional comments by replying to this email.

As stated in my previous email, the mic being used is a lavalier microphone. I have used this same mic with my older GHOSTC X device with no issues.

(Link removed) Both files are recorded on the same settings, same microphone. Thank you for your prompt support in this matter. Regards, Tech Support (Drift Innovation) 26 May 2022, 13:49 BST Hi Ray, Thanks for your reply here, I'll get these clips checked over with my team today and we will get back to you shortly with further updates, Kind regards, Tech Support Drift Innovation Web driftinnovation.com 5/30/22 30 May 2022, 15:56 BST Any update on my issue? Regards, 6/03/22 3 Jun 2022, 21:33 BST Hello, Can I please get an update on my case. My last inquiry from DRIFTC was 5/26/22. Best Regards, 6/08/22 8 Jun 2022, 12:49 BST Good morning, Please advise on next steps regarding my case. I opened a ticket May 21, 2022, approx 19 days ago. My last correspondence from DRIFTC was May 26, 2022, approximately 14 days ago. (as of todays date 6/08/2022) I am happy to try a different update (if you recall I was asked to and successfully downgraded my firmware from v2034 to v2029. Please advise ASAP as the camera is not functioning as intended and is not usable as is in my situation. Regards DRIFT RESPONDED AFTER I RETURNED THE UNIT: 6/14/22 Tech Support (Drift Innovation) 14 Jun 2022, 16:22 BST Hi Ray, Thanks for your patience here and I do apologise for the delays at this very busy time, Having analysed your clips with our team, we can see that you are experiencing some kind of interference with the audio in your recordings, However I do note that you mentioned using a third-party mic accessory, and although I appreciate that you havent had any issues with this particular mic previously - as our cameras are nor designed to be compatible with third-party manufactured accessories (unless stated otherwise - see Universal Mount Adapter etc.) and so if you could try using a Drift External Mic accessory (linked below) we can hopefully try and work out why this is happening and get you some answers going forward, Let me know how you get on here Ray and I look forward to your reply, Kind regards, Tech Support Drift Innovation Web driftinnovation.com 6/14/22 14 Jun 2022, Hello, Can you please explain this logic in buying a DRIFT microphone for further testing? I sent two clips clearly showing the audio distortion. In both clips I am using the same external microphone with the same adapter that came with the camera. The only difference is the way I start up the recording. There are no issues whatsoever with manually starting the recording with the 3rd party microphone, but there are issues when I use the one button automatic recording feature. Kindly explain what the microphone has to do with this when the only aspect that changes is the way I start the recording. As an Engineer, this may point to a sign that the firmware or camera circuitry is looking at some other aspect differently for the microphone when starting in different modes. This was also a reason why I questioned being asked to downgrade my firmware as instructed by support. Newer firmware typically resolves these types of issues. Regards, ... show more

  • Works on iPhone 6 UPDATE
Color: Black
The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: 12/27/21 I've ridden my bike over 4,000 miles with this and not a single problem. There haven't been any firmware updates so the interface isn't the greatest but I've never needed to change the settings just format the SD card after I download the videos. Also use this in my cars. UPDATE: 12/13/20 I was able to connect to the camera with my iPhone SE (iOS 14) by turning Cellular data OFF. It must get confused when you connect via wifi. I only need to connect to make sure the camera level and the view I need and change settings. But you can also view any videos saved which could be useful out in the field. Also, video is much better than the video I posted here. Amazon upload compresses it a lot and it loses quality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've been searching for a camera for my bike, something small but also works well. There were a couple of motorcycle reviews that said it worked for them so figured this would work for a bicycle. While it still is a bit larger than I would like and not the easiest thing to use when I finally got it connected to my iPhone it does what I need it to. But it only connects via wifi to my older iPhone 6 not my iPhone SE. It could be it only works on iOS 12 and not 14. Took me a while to finally figure that out. But once connected it does give me what I need: live view, access to recordings, and settings. You can connect to it anywhere as you connect to it directly using the wifi SSID of the camera. You don't need access to a wifi network. Accessing the settings was a big deal for me. I hate tiny little screens plus having to scroll through all of the settings to find the one you want but only one way not back. With the app on my iPhone I can scroll through them all on the one screen. Once setup I need to access the menu to format the memory card. I always format the card instead of erasing the files. I've never had a problem with a memory card. I can also access the photos and videos and live stream. This helped mainly to make sure the camera is aligned but also if something does happen I have immediate access to it. The resolution is fine for my use. Not intending to do online videos. I just need this in case something goes wrong. In 35 plus years of riding I only had one wreck which was caused by another cyclist. With a cam it could have been settled much sooner... This has no vibration reduction so over a bumpy surface like a pebbled driveway it does show up in the video. But it does well on a paved surface. I generally ride 3 to 4 hours so I haven't tried the full 9 hours. But I also intend to use this as a car cam whether driving or parked. I'm using a 128gb memory card which should work out well for most of what I will be using this for. You don't have to take the memory card out. I can just connect it via USB to my iMac and access all the photos and videos from Finder. The camera itself is built well but I wouldn't want it to fall off of my bike. There is no way to attach a safety strap so it needs to be mounted well and checked periodically. I like the lens rotation so you can mount the camera to fit where you need it. It's hard to find the right camera that works for your individual needs. I can see why reviews end up all over the place. This one works for me except that it doesn't work on newer iPhones. Hopefully they will update the firmware in the next 30 days to fix that or I'll have to look again for another cam. Video is clipped to shorten it but gives you some idea what it gives you. Not 4k but at least you can see what is going on. I hadn't realized it was mounted on a slight angle so it looks a little tilted. Also it is mounted on the left side so I'm not as close to the center line as it appears... It filmed the entire 40 mile trip in 5 minute segments. I'll either turn the sound off or add an external microphone. ... show more

  • Been using for over a year and have had no problems
Color: Black
I normally don't write reviews but have been using this camera for over a year and had no problems. Use it as both a dash and helmet camera so it is either baking on the dash or getting banged around and dropped almost on a weekly basis. Strongly recommend.
