Ghost XL
27 September 2024 by Jason B
A good camera that seems well built and sturdy. Easy to use and can be easily fitted to the bike or helmet. I just wanted a simple camera to use as a dashcam without hard wiring a camera to the bike and this fits the purpose perfectly.

Ghost XL
09 September 2024 by Nathan C
Great camera, love having it on the back of the bike, people are more careful now and not up my backside so much.
Really like the idea of master and slave as I have another one.
Haven't worked out how to keep the setting constant yet as I'm having to reprogram every time I turn it off.
Great robust little camera with loads of options, you can change the angle of the lense to match the mount and all sorts of different settings in the app.

Very good quality
21 August 2024 by Ian S
The video quality is really good and better than I expected, it's a pity that you need to buy the external microphone separately but otherwise it does seem like a nice bit of kit.

A camera designed for bikers!!
05 August 2024 by F T
Great dash cam/ helmet cam , anywhere cam. Simple to use once you've got to know the display colours and their meanings. Can use with gloves on as only three buttons and only one really to turn on and record. Around 9 hrs of battery life on average so far. About 5 hrs to fully recharge. Love it.

Ghost xl camera
18 July 2024 by Anonymous
In my opinion it is Easy to use. Film is good sound is not so good I guess would need the optioal sound adapter. Also the external waterproof jack to USB don't appear to charge or power the device. So I have to use the micro USB that is under the plastic flap

Excellent Camera
22 June 2024 by Sam
Very good little camera, fits the car and the bike - lots of options for attachment are available, it comes with sticky pads and a clip-in for flat & curved surfaces and it can be adjusted to compensate for angle of the fitting.
Quality of filming is great and the sound is fine for how I use it as it comes. Plenty of options for compatible memory. The file sizes are fairly typical and non problematic.
Dashcam mode works well, there are a lot of available settings for looping/time etc. This is a very practical camera. Menus are easy to make sense of without studying the manual too hard. Overall very impressed with it.

Good budget camera
01 June 2024 by Lee
Good quality camera. Come in handy on a recent road trip. Video quality Good enough to pick up car registrations. Helmet mount supplied is fine for me. Doesn't feel heavy or generate much wind noise on helmet. Overall a good wee purchase

Compact and lightweight.
29 February 2024 by Simon M
I've only used it a few times but I'm quite pleased with the results. Setup is quite straightforward and when attached to my helmet it's streamlined and not too heavy. Video quality is actually better than I expected, certainly good enough to capture car number plates. Sound quality with the built-in mic is poor, but I expected that with it being fully exposed to wind-roar. Haven't tried an add-on mic.

Drift Ghost XL Action Camera
10 January 2024 by Anonymous
Pros. Superb Drift customer service, compact unit, good quality images, weather proof, tough. Good price compared to others. Good as dashcam using 12v input.
Have had another unit running on another bike for over 18 months and still working as new.
Cons. Fiddly to initially set up, no GPS, 12v supply may need stabilized voltage to work as reliable dashcam (depends on bike electrics)

Drift Ghost XL
03 January 2024 by Rob T
Works great as a dash cam. Quality probably isn't as good as something like a go pro but the battery life is excellent so will keep going on longer rides. Being helmet mounted is great as I have more than one bike. Service from Sportsbikeshop excellent as always.

Great

Long battery life is the main selling point for me,
Worth getting,
External mic not good for a motorbike, so worth buying the internal mic at a small cost at the same time. Being waterproof helps.

So far so good, can use the handlebar mount or fix it to my helmet, ideal for using more than one bike, good results, nice and clear vision. Best using a 64gb card for longer recordings. Sportbikeshop as usual came up with the goods fast and promptly, brilliant service

Great quality for the price
28 September 2023 by Alex W
The quality of the camera, considering the price, is excellent! It could use some image stabilisation at times, as the footage can seem bouncy on rough roads, but in general the footage is clear, smooth and reliable. Have ridden through torrential rain with it, so it's waterproof as it says on the box and it's not overly heavy... I half expected to feel like I had an anvil on my helmet, but it's gone pretty much unnoticed since I fitted it... so much so, I have to check with my mirrors that it's still attached sometimes!

Questions and Answers
Hi does the drift ghost XL come with a bracket to attach camera to handle bars ? Thanks.
February 22, 2023It doesn't come supplied with this unfortunately, but they can be purchased separately on quick find 771944.
Does the camera require a waterproof case when out in heavy rain that we have here in sunny Scotland? or is it totally waterproof?
December 4, 2019We can confirm that this camera is IPX7 rated right out of the box, so there is no need for an additional waterproof case.
