I'm looking to get one...I'v e enough of being assaulted by drivers...time to get even.
How will the cam help? are you going to throw it back at them, if so you'd be better with an ATC 5kI want a camera, I'm fed up with chavs trying to push me off my bike.
My hubby has the drift and uses it for when he's out on his motorbike.
The contour is a very similar size (only a few cm shorter) than the Drift X170. People put GoPros, Contours and the Drift cameras on their helmets without an issue.The drift 170 Cameras are good but very bulky so bulky I would not even consider putting it on my helmet and I think if your looking to protect yourself from conflict then eye level camera would be more helpful
Gaz I bought the drift 170 after reading your reviews it came up at the right money but it aint half bulky and and so I guess would be the x170 HD version perhaps you could consider putting this comment on your website as the only place I can see placing it is on the seat post to capture from behind Im looking for a more discreet camera for the helmet I want something that clips at the front with the battery pack at the back but Ive yet to find one. The camera I should point out for me would be solely to offer some strength to a case if I was to be knocked off the bike I rarely experience conflict on my commute and accept drivers make mistakes.
Are they both mounted in the same place? It looks like the X170 is a whole load better but it also looks like it is mounted higher.
That looks better than the fork-mounted video, but still not as good as the X170 IMO.ATC5k - handlebar mounted

Interesting...
TBH I am getting confused as to which camera will do what i need it to...which is:
1) Easy to operate while riding (with gloves)
2) waterproof/shockproof
3) Decent enough picture and sound to convict a peasant driver if necessary
Easy to wear (I prefer those that attach to th eside of the head/helmet..not keen on the big one on top of helmet
4) Works well in low light conditions
5) Long battery life...2 hour rides etc
6) Easy to transfer video to pc (i'm no rocket scientist)
7) Must allow me to replace battery myself if required
8) Can be fitted to helmet/head/ bars etc...so i can use it even without a hemet
9) Cheap is good, but I don twant to spend out on rubbish...but top of the Hi Def etc isnt a priority
...but to record the pure joy of travelling through the countryside at 10-20mph.
does a camera exist which is compact enough for bike mounting, can record up to say 6 hours of footage which looks good at sizes larger than a postcard (i guess this depends on memorycard size) ... has decent anti shake, night vision, etc.?
