I was told by drift that its water resistant but if you want to take it under water or use for water skiing etc then you need the waterproof case for it. That was for the new mini hd cam they do. I went for go pro in the end but of course drift comes with remote and lcd. I have found i don't need the lcd for the go pro though as it easy to line a shot up. Not much in them i don't think but i found most reviews go pro came out in top.

Ha ha. That brought a smile. I only mentioned it as mine was going to be for a specific purpose waterskiing where it would be dunked a lot.

On the right hand side results of the Drift HD, the overall view on the left is the VIO POV 1. Later on I've changed the VIO POV 1 camera into a VIO POV HD. So what you see is normal video on the left and HD video on the right.
Do'nt mind the rain drops on the lenses.

Is £168 too expensive for a GoPro HD Helmet HERO Camera?

Will we need a larger waterproof case to accomodate the camera and wi-fi back? If so is one available

When I bought the tv back screen thing it came with 4 back covers.

My understanding is that the case accommodates the camera plus one extra device: so either screen or extra battery or WiFi device. I'm not aware of a case that will accommodate more.

The wifi pack comes/will come with an extended waterproof back door which you fit to your existing case.

To clarify if anyone's unsure, there's only one size of case. But there are different back doors that can be fitted. As well as back doors with cut outs for getting sound in etc, there are extended ones (waterproof and non-w/p) which you need to use with the LCD, battery pack or wifi.

Wont fit a gopro. I've used a sticky pad on the ski and on advice here bought a head strap too.

Isn't it right that Kodak have shut down their camera side of things too which is why there are some very cheap deals to be had.

Right, my last video i shall bore you with. Finally got round to using it for the waterskiing and am really pleased with the results although i really need some rain x for the lens to stop the droplets staying. Ive edited it down to mostly me falling off, (i did get up honest) just so its a bit more interesting.

Does anyone else have problems with "jumping"
Mine jumps about once per second even with a class 10 card.
I bought another class 10 (Sandisk extreme) and while the jumping is much reduced it is still there.
Tried it on setting three but the increased frame rate means it stays the same.
is there something I haven't thought of to make the videos smoother?

Hi. Nope never had that issue yet. The only thing i can think of is have you changed it from ntsc to pal in the settings as that could be a cause possibly.

Sounds like the card you got is what you need. I made sure mine was shock proof which im sure the extreme will be too.

Hi, it sounds like you're settings are not right, mine is set at 5 & have no problem at all that number is the more extreme action setting try that I have a cheap class 10 card in it & the video footage is great

See that GoPro have now say the release date for the WiFi unit is summer!

[horacebat]

and the Hero HD has been substantially reduced on Amazon ! (as the HD2 is the replacement).
