If that isn′t enough the camera also has the following :

  • It can take 9 MP photos. Put it in the photo burst mode and you can take pictures every few seconds for as long as your memory card and battery lasts

Cool but not perfect THe quality of the camera is very good. I just wish you could change from video to camera mode via remote. Also wish you could turn the camera on and off via remote, having to leave it on all the time just in case you want to take a pic or vid while driving is a hassle. September 18, 2012
Pretty Good Camera The camera takes pretty good video either mounted on my bike or helmet. Quality is excellent. Unfortunately, it does not have a zoom feature like the cheaper version. The first one I purchased had to be sent back due to battery and power issues, but Revzilla replaced it. June 25, 2012
Excellent camera, flexible, easy, but a bit pricey. Besides the excellent Revzilla review, there are plenty of technical reviews on Youtube. I will just say that this is fun, easy, and takes great video. The mounting is not a big hassle and it's easy to achieve the angles you need. The remote works well and lets you get just the clips you need so there's less to delete when editing a long blog. It's a little pricey but I'd say it is worth it for the included remote and the mounting options. Does not look as obvious as a HERO when mounted to your helmet. Would be 5 stars if it was priced a little better. February 23, 2012
Most Bells and Whistles This is a high-quality and durable camera in a package more sleek and sophisticated than the comparable GoPro HD. I am not afraid of technology gadgets likes these cameras but I had never used one before. The set-up was easy and intuitive. It is ready to use right out of the box. February 20, 2012

Ive tried this with a regular video camera riding a ATV and from a moving car and it becomes very hard to keep the camera still for a smooth shot, its like the camera feels every bump on the road or tail...

Answer: 
The secret to stable video is to VERY securely mount the camera to something. Your helmet, the cycle, the bike rack on the top of your car, the bottom of your skateboard unless you are riding rails, your girlfriend's boots, pretty much anything, but NOT your hand.

Small cameras like this are easy to mount securely (they come with mounting stuff, plus you can buy additional mounting stuff for additional money), therefore they will give you more stable video than a large 'regular video camera' when you are on a rough trail.

If you just try to hold this camera in your hand, you will not get stable video on rough trails. You might lose control of your bike, too, but that could make for an award winning video if you manage to hold on to the camera long enough.

Answer: 
It should be pretty smooth if you mount it on your helmet. Your head naturally compensates for sudden direction changes. Mounted on a vehicle frame, most cameras without some form damping system will be shaky.

Answer: 
'When fully charged, the standard battery supplied with the camera should lasts 2 or 2.5 hours.'

Straight from the mouth of the manufacturer ... including the typo and the illogical use of 'or' instead of 'to.'

Answer: 
The Drift HD Acton camera's predecessor, the Steath, was able to record 32GB of memory for 6 hours at 1080p and 9 hours at 720p. Drift advises that the Action camera should record at the same rate.

Answer: 
There is no included SD card, you will have to provide your own, 512 MB to 32 GB.

The recording time will depend on your selection of frames per second (fps), and resolution (1080p, 720p, or WVGA).

At 1080p and 60 fps - the highest possible recording quality - you will get approximately 3 hours of recording time with a 32 GB card.

Any other combination (720p or WVGA; 25/30/50 fps) you will get more time. For instance, at 1080p and 30 fps you would get approximately 6 hours of recording time, because 30 fps is half of 60 fps.

Maximum recording time, using WVGA, would be approximately 9 hours with a 32 GB card.
