    I havent got the lid here but I will get a pic for you.
    a 900mb card lasts about 8 minutes in 30fps 1080
    so a 32gb card will be more than enough.

    So how long did you chat away to yourself for before you realised it had run out?

    Interesting as some of the cams with great pic quality have quite bad sound

    the Drift cam looks really poor quality in that test which is surprising
    as I find the quality bang on.all of the baron's older vids were done
    with a Drift hd.

    the reason they sound bad martin is they are using the internal mic's
    which are rubbish for bikes, external mic is a must.

    Is that an attachment you buy or is that what you have look for in a cam when buying?

    Not sure about other cams but the drift
    Comes with a curved mount, flat mount
    And a mount for goggle straps.my mind
    Was made up with the drift when I heard
    It also came with a wifi controller. If I had
    A better budget I would have got the
    Ghost version.

    I have a Drift HD tried it on my tank with the sucker mount but found the footage way too shakey, more of a statement of the local tarmac combined with the plastic tank cover than of the drift. Using on the helmet seems to smooth out the bumps a bit. My best footage so far was taken during a driving day at brands in a single seater really great footage but forgot to clear the card before going and ran out of storage .....

    I still don't trust the remote and keep asking mates to check the light is on, I suppose I'll get more comefortable with practice.

    I found the light / dark adjustments could be smoother and audio quality suffers at speed due to wind noise. Looking forward to getting to know it better and to try my hand at some editing.

    I think you can set the audio to 1 which should improve quality at speed

    There was a firmware update to help with
    The exposure shifts and as said setting the
    Audio at one sorts out a lot the wind noise.

    :D Are you hoping for more exposure or a reduction in wind noise??

    Thanks for the advice guys you've saved me a few hours of mucking about!
