Time Lapse Photos While many now offer intelligent horizon levelling, the quality of the video footage cannot match that of the Drift Ghost XL Pro, which can shoot a level horizon natively. When it comes to using the Drift Ghost XL is one of my favourite cameras. It’s easy to understand and operate, and most importantly, the quality of the video matches the quality of use.

Make, model, frame rate and quality setting (such as 720, 1076HD, HDR etc), and frame rate as these all have an impact on the final image. Cyclic certainly have a make, time and date stamp, anything else would either have to be added manually or just included in the blurb to NMOTD. Video Lapse stitches together a Time Lapse video and saves it on your memory card automatically without the need for editing.Drift Ghost XL has a maximum frame rate of 60fps which is compatible with 720p and WVGA resolutions only. Supercharged, Ready To Go: The XL Pro has an industry leading 3000mAh battery as standard, is waterproof to 1m, has wi-fi, Bluetooth for remote control compatibility and livestream to YouTube function The mono microphone on the XL is not the best out there for the price range, I believe Drift is working on making the internal microphone better. I like the inclusion of an external microphone port. However, you can add slow motion during video post-production with your PC. 60fps can give you 2x slow-motion videos. Having in mind that the XL does not have a huge display and neither is it a touch screen, we expect a longer battery life here compared to other brand cameras like Akaso.

All in all, a great robust camera that is super easy to use and produces good quality footage. At half the price of the Ghost 4K version I think it is a great value action camera but if you have the budget, I’d go for the better lens option.However, the camera supports Bluetooth which can be used to connect to a Drift Innovation remote bought separately. The Ghost XL has only one codec; the H.264. This codec is particularly important if you are using an old PC for post-production. It produces files that are very easy to edit. Video Quality Day Videos In the photo burst mode, you get the options to set the photo resolution, burst duration (interval), and capture rate before shooting. Exposure Value As you’d expect from an action camera, the Ghost XL Pro is IPX7 waterproof, so there are no worries about dropping it in a puddle or mounting it on a surfboard. Then there's 'Clone Mode,' which lets you control this in synch with other Ghost cameras (XL, X or 4K models). Value

Besides the build quality and the design being minimalistic and sleek, there’s little else to comment about the camera’s build. In truth, even if things didn't move that fast in the world of cameras, the Drift XL would struggle – it's very similar to the Drift Stealth 2 HD that George tested in 2015. That's seven years ago. The lens rotates 300 degrees which means no matter how you mount the camera, it will always capture the footage the ‘right way up’. The great thing about the phone app is that you can see a live view of what the camera is looking at and you can set it all before riding off, knowing the footage will be recorded as you want it to. Similar to its predecessor, the Ghost XL does not support slow-motion recording. Even though the maximum frame rate is 60fps, the camera doesn’t have a slow-motion feature. The Drift Ghost XL Pro beats the ease of use and mount options of any other camera on the market by a long stretch.The camera only offers a JPEG file format for saving photos. You do not get a RAW option which might be a deal-breaker to some especially if you intend to do a lot of post-editing to your photos. Photo Quality ClycliqPlus - certainly not the version that I have installed (although there was an update offered when I opened it - but i doubt it will pull this information. The Drift Ghost XL is a good camera for riders out there. I am impressed by the inclusion of new features like the Event Detection mode that I found useful. This feature will allow you to record video continuously but will only save the ‘tagged’ video to the memory card. DashWare - that won't do it; again, it's happy to stitch video and telemetry but nothing to do with the actual video
