I am goint to buy a sportscam for my 2 hobbies : Riding the duke and airsoft
I have watched endless you tube movies about those 2 cams. But sometimes the drift is better and sometimes the gopro (depends on what settings they where I think, and how nasty they compressed it on youtube )
The gopro has a bit more mounting options in the box, but the drift has some very nice features like a build in LCD, rotating lens and 8mm thread so you can mount it on almost anything...
Any expertise on this forum about those 2 gadgets ?

I use teh GoProHD but have heard good things about the Stealth. I've also heard it wont do full 1080p HD.....needs confirming though. But if thats no big deal then its an even battle i reckon. If the Stealth has a remote I'd say that could give it the edge tho.
I personally dont use the GoPro at 1080p HD, I like the wider angle of the 720p settings....and 720p is a good balanced of image quality, angle and storage space imho.

I was looking at the drift until Klincky pointed out something rather important that I hadn't even considered. The Gopro has an interchangeable lens, which should it get scratched will cost you £25. Gopro all the way for me..

oh...and the accessory to mount the GoPro onto a conventional camera thread (1/2 inch whitworth) is only $8. I have it and use it to mount to my RAM mount for a very solid fixing.
