Uh, no. When the product's Web site says the video format is "AVI", you should look elsewhere. A company that doesn't know the difference between a video format and a file format can't really be trusted to make video cameras.]]>Jul 26th 2010 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/
Yeah it really looked like he was gonna' bolt out in front of you - it's like they just *know* the worst possible moment to decide "they can make it." Glad he didnt make the move (I;ve been there). At least you would've had a ton of evidence at your disposal!]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://bit.ly/theIRcam

NO, spammer. As I noted after the first time you spammed these comments, the product's Web site says the video format is "AVI". A company that doesn't know the difference between a video format and a file format can't really be trusted to make video cameras.

Now piss off.]]>Jul 26th 2010 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/
Also did you see this video? Video quality looks awesome.

Here in America we really should have the right to film in any public place we want to. Making it illegal to film police will cause a lot of resentment and will lead to police not being held accountable (illegally obtained evidence is not admissible in court...). Our British brothers also seem to be battling to retain their right to simply film in a public place. It is nice to see there is at least one other socially aware individual here on engadget. :D]]>Jul 26th 2010 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 26th 2010 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/
There is in fact one a standard threaded receiver on the HD170 (unlike the GoPro & Contour), you just need to unscrew the mount adapter and you'll find it on the underside of the camera. This opens up your options to easily use suction mounts, clamp mounts & roll bar mounts without having to buy any extra thread adapters.

The screen on this cam is the best option by far! What's the point of using a cam like this if you don't know what you're filming! And don't forget the remote too :)

Sign me up, I want one!

However, I think if you're not doing too much too bumpy it'd probably be okay. Actually they have a couple skydiving videos on their site to give you an idea:

I don't really notice any jelly effect there. Sadly I wasn't able to jump out of any planes for this review, but if anyone can provide the ride and necessary accessories for my safe landing I'll be happy to bring the cam along!]]>Jul 27th 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/Jul 27th 2010 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/drift-innovations-hd170-helmet-cam-review/

Also no issues with Jelly vision here either which looks to be some pretty fast moto bike footage from a TT in Europe

However we have seen that there is jelly video samples on line from GoPro, Contour, and Drift. Seems like it depends on mounts and mounting location. In our case it has not been an issue but we either mount it on helmets (body is absorbing a lot of the shock) or we use the Pedco Ultra Clamp which is one of the best mounts we have ever used. Easy to use with the 1/4" thread that comes standard on the Drift camera. Thumbs up on Drift HD170 and certainly all the features in this camera worth an extra $29

Video quality looks insane.
