Jasper - A great hack to eliminate wind noise on action cameras. Go to a fabric store and buy a small piece of faux fur. I purchased a 10 x 20 cm piece of faux black bear fur. Cut out a piece big enough to cover the microphone hole in the case. Use a few drops of super glue to hold it in place. Works perfectly up to 60 - 70 kph.
Respect. That’s a lot of work. I used a Drift camera once a few years back on my motorcycle and can confirm that it has great results even at 100+ mph.
Always appreciate the work put in behind these vlogs Jasper. 2hrs riding = 10hrs editing says it all. I could suffer ? the riding but I'd get someone else to edit it for me lol. Great stuff always my friend ;)
yeah...cool lil camera..might check it out..i remember you uploading that 5hr video..I was like...WTFreak..lol..I didnt watch the whole videos but i did skim through it..stay RAD Cycling Fanatic!!!
Hi, great video thanks for showing a great review. I am a 'recreational cyclist' now. However, I once raced at club level and also represented my club at state level 12 hour twice. I have been off the bike for many years and now starting to ride again. On my third ride in, I became a target for a bunch of 'hoons' who throw Chinese food at me and try to run me off the road. Now looking at cameras for safety and also some nice videos of rides. Chelsea
I understand that Event Protection will record if theres a punch or sudden stop. Can I manually trigger and save the event by pressing some buttons? On the Ghost XL
Met ffmpeg kan van meerdere MP4 bestanden van dezelfde camera één bestand maken. Is binnen een minuut gerenderd dan hoef je maar één keer in virb edit de GPS te synchroniseren.
@@jasperverkuijl MP4joiner heet het: www.mp4joiner.org/en/ Het maakt een extra bestand en comprimeert de beelden niet dus kwaliteit blijft behouden. Ik gebruik dat bestand in Virb edit en render het met de power overlay erover. En dan dat lange bestand zonder overlay verwijderd worden.
unfortunately, I've had nothing but bad luck with mine. kept turning off and on. would not recognize usb. would not reset. i had to drain the battery to zero....
@@jasperverkuijl it would run for 30sec maybe and turn off. i could only run it with the app but that means less time due to the battery drain being higher. i sent them a pic of it stuck in usb mode showing in my hand and no usb cord connected. they asked me for a video of the problems but i can't replcate it as i get a new one. i'm trying to completely drain the battery for a total reset now. i'm so bummed because the only reason i bought this camera was the battery life. everything else would just be a bonus. i am approaching final and gear is still up on this one...
my problem is solved. my rear camera mount broke on a 100km ride. no idea where it could be so i had to order a new one. if i don't laugh about it, i will cry. lol i'm gonna order the metal mount you did
Been following you from the early stages of your TH-cam channel. Your content improves as your editing skills improve, as well as the variety of types of videos you post, including this one. A cyclist myself, I'd be keen on seeing more of your side training, similar to that gym strength training you posted something like 1 year ago. And perhaps nutrition if you're getting specific about it yourself or following a particular regime. Otherwise, keep up the great work, always a good watch ;) PEACE
Hoi Jasper, heb je het kanaal van bkxc al eens gezien, die kerel maakt videos over zijn mtb ritten en gebruikt een stabilizer met een gopro, zeer coole beelden! Top video overigens!
Hi Jasper. The third party mounts you are using on your bike for the drift ghost x. Did you need to modify them? And which mounts are they? And where can I get them?
You know you seem to be the only person using these cameras (drift ghost) on a bicycle constantly. I've seen other people review them, and for the most part they are on motorcycles using the external mic feature. I myself am interested in these cameras because of the long battery life and rotation of the lenses. The lens feature itself is awesome if you are able to find different ways to mount it to your bike. Please respond with any insight into what might work. P.S. I also don't trust plastic mounts.
Hi Jasper. I've an important question for you. Do you think that it's too late to start an ATPL course from zero at 27 years old? Thank you for your answer and for your videos... #171
@@jasperverkuijl Hi Jasper, thanks to your video i now bought 2 of these myself (though i will only use them to film eventual incidents while cycling) I do have a question about clone mode: is it normal that you have to set it up every time you switch on the cameras ? shouldn't the camera retain clone mode on switch off ? If you, or any one else can help me, because i can't find any information about this. - thanks beforehand & de groeten from a fellow Dutchy!
Hi Jasper. Love your videos. I'm planning on filming for TH-cam but not bike racing something different. I'd like to know if you would use GoPros instead of Drift if it wasn't for battery life?
Hi, thank you! I have recorded with my bike using my gosth XL (video timelapse 1080) and I have noted a pixeling th-cam.com/video/cuxUjfMJahU/w-d-xo.html With X and 4k is the same?
Hey Jasper Ik ga video's maken in verband met wielrennen maar ook met mountainbiken. Zou ik dan eerder de Gost 4K pakken of toch gaan naar de Gopro Hero 7 Black? Aangezien de Gopro heel veel water kan afweren tot 10 meter diep zelfs lijkt mij dit handiger voor het mountainbiken
No. I think the image quality is really behind other cameras right now. Only thing was the battery that lasted for 5 hours that makes it worth using at that time
Purchased 3 Drift Ghost x cameras for the family 18 months ago & there is only one camera still working. The 2 cameras that have stopped working both have the same problem, they will not turn on. Tried all the TH-cam tricks & more to no avail. This is a common problem for this camera & Drift will obviously be aware of it, but sadly their idea of helping anyone with this problem is to tell them that the camera has reached the end of its life. They do however offer a discount on a new camera 😂 From personal experience, anyone thinking of buying a Drift camera, DON'T!
Even up to 10 hours of battery life is useless if the camera sometimes freezes for as long as much juice left in battery .You send camera to Makers to fix the problem but they send it to you back and saying that there is no problem after battery charged. And you know what ? Camera get freezes again after couple of weeks, and again and again. This happened not only to me. What I'm trying to say ? Don't buy any DRIFT camera .
People don't understand how difficult it is to make these videos... Thanks Jasper, keep making good content, and let me know when you're in NorCal!!
I'm sure we all appreciate the long hours you put into editing your videos; they are superb, thank you.

I was looking for a camera like this for long hours in the saddle, thank you buddy
The final reassurance I needed to buy this camera...and the discount code worked well 😊
About VIRB
Would not it be better to merge the pieces of the videos before, creating just one clip, and after putting it in VIRB EDIT?

Good review. IP67 should really be an easy to achieve standard for water resistance they should strive for.
Jasper what is the name of the third-party mount you use under your saddle ..thank you
I love when he says: " Cycling Ffffffffffanatics" 😁✌️
Incredible Dude,appreciate the effort:-)☺️

Sounds bad. Mine has frozen up too. Tried drift support yet?

I cant believe it still. Went for a ride and found my camera a week later after losing it.
Looking for the metal saddle mount...I know this is an old video...any thoughts, links, anyone?
It's k-edge

Jasper Verkuijl Ay will have a look at that ;)
Man, you're a pilot, a cyclist, a dad and you still find time to do all this editing? How do you do it?
How do you mount the camera on the front? Did I miss that? Great info. !!
GoPro mount under the head unit with an adapter to fit the drift
Might you let us know what the mounts you use are please
At that time.they were sold on the drift website but I don't think they still have it
Unreal, the Ghost is only $149 US Dollars with your code. Amazing!! Excellent Video And Dig The Bloopers
Cheers

Very good video but can you be a huge favour and send me a link to that under saddle mount as I can’t find one anywhere? Thanks a lot
At that time they sold it at the drift website
What mount do you use to mount the camera under the saddle? Drift does not sell this I don't think?
I use a mount from kedge and an adaptor I got from drift (they had it on their website than)
@@jasperverkuijl That's really helpful massive thanks!

Is the camera strong enough for crashing
Yeah I crashed with it. A carbon bike will break easier than this camera believe me.

Ouch 🤕 tell Sam to kiss daddy's boo-boo 😋

Sorry to hear that.
I'm not using them anymore at the moment.only had a few die due to rain 😅
Wouldn't it be better to import all of the clips into Premiere first and then export a single video file to sync your GPX file in Virb?
@@jasperverkuijl Fair enough. What size memory card did you need for the 5hr ride and what settings was the Drift set to?
