Camera choice

[treequip]

So its time I bought a head camera

 

And looking has my head cabbaged

 

I want the camera for a bit of work filming

 

I like the look of the drft and I don't like the square blocky look of the go pro

 

The budget is about 250

 

Any reason not to but the drift and to put up with the go pro pants shape?

Hi tree Paul fox is your man cameras mate thanks Jon

Drift are just as good. I think it's the ghost that is one of the fancier ones. Go pro are just more popular

using the lopro mount like this means the gopro doesnt stick out at all. and being central means it doesnt unbalance the helmet. the best part (for me) about gopro is the immense amount of aftermarket trickery you can get-polarised filters, external mics, crazy mounts etc..

Drift HD Ghost is our camera of choice, we had a play with a go-pro for some veteran tree footage but the design/shape of it was a nightmare amongst the frithy canopies we generally work in. Forever get knocked out of position.

No problems with the more torpedo shaped design of the drift.

 

Hadn't thought of or seen the low mount though.

Reckon the frithy stuff would still get behind the profile and potentially dislodge it.........Drew ?

 

The go pro has a slight edge on quality but unless you're after publish quailty then its not that big an avantage from our perspective.

That's what I was thinking but that low pro mount looks like a goer.

 

The footage will be going on youtube so broadcast quality isn't an issue

I've never dislodged the gopro yet with that mount. And having it on Te front does keep it more protected in my opinion rather than on the top. If you gopro it- do t bother with the black model, stick with the silver.

Because?

Gopro Silver making a strong run for the line edging the drift out on price

[DrewB]

The silver shoots perfectly good quality and the 4k feature is overboard unless your shooting real high class stuff and have the editing suite to match. And Te silver is cheaper!!
