[#11393048]

I need to begin recording my rides with cameras, front and rear.

The Cycliq FLY12 CE seems to have some issues, inc interfering with cyclecomputer GPS.

I cannot seem to find much online about cyclists using the ostensibly similar Drift Ghost X or XL - only motorcyclists with whom it seems to be popular.

Has anyone here tried a Drift camera mounted on their steed and have any feedback to speak of?

I have an older Ghost camera but it hasn't been used for about 3 years...never mounted it to my bike and it made my helmet feel too top-heavy, so it was chest-mounted. Good quality image and video footage, sound was ok if there was no wind (without an external mic with wind sock thing).

I think the newer Ghost devices are smaller so shouldn't be as heavy.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am keen to try one mounted beneath the handlebars. Has anyone else tried this?

Yep, I've got a GoPro mounted to the underneath of my Garmin mount. It works fine and is nicely out of the way.

I used a Ghost Drift X on my helmet, managed to get it balanced well but no longer us it as the App doesn't work on Androind 10.

If anyone is interested drop me a line, saves me sticking it on the classifieds.
