A very special camera model is the Drift Ghost 4K Action Camera. It has a cylindrical shape, is therefore quite slim in design and its camera lens can be rotated by 300 degrees.
She takes photos and videos with her 12 megapixel camera and the LCD display can be folded out and has a touch screen to operate the camera.
Pretty cool is also the image stabilizer thanks to which you can easily create wobble-free shots.
The set also includes a wide range of accessories with many attachments.
Technical properties
The touchscreen-capable LCD display that folds out is absolutely amazing. The fact that you can fold it out makes the camera individually adjustable and gives more flexibility.
On the back of the action camera is also a small status LCD where you can see the most important data such as resolution, frame rate, recording time and battery status.
The versatile features of the action camera are also really cool. For example, you can set the cam to standby, start filming at a certain time interval and then save the video material.
Design and appearance
As already mentioned, the camera is in cylindrical format and has a fold-out screen.
It also has a USB port which is integrated in the camera and with which you can easily transfer your recordings to other media such as a laptop or PC.
The camera weighs approximately 120 grams and has the following dimensions: 20.83 cm x 10.92 cm x 7.87 cm. This makes it quite compact, fits in every pocket and can be taken everywhere.
Image sensor, resolution and memory
With this model the optical sensor resolution is 12 megapixels. Picture and video material are good, corresponding to the price. A purchase is worthwhile in any case.
The images are shown on the 1.5 inch display. The integrated electronic image stabilisation is very helpful when taking pictures.
4K videos are produced with a frame rate of 30 frames per second. But you can also set other resolution values and use super slow motion, among others.
What we think is pretty good is the rotatable lens. This allows you to mount the Ghost 4K action camera at a variety of angles, and even with a skewed camera mount, you can still get a shot that is perfectly level and horizontal.
For which uses is the camera suitable?
You can attach them in many different ways with the help of the mounting utensils and use them for example as a helmet camera or even in the car as a dash-cam. As already mentioned, the rotatable lens is an advantage.
Battery and runtime
A battery module (500 mAh or 1500 mAh) is included in the scope of delivery, which provides for recordings with a runtime of up to 6 hours.
Exactly how long you can record depends on the selected module and how high your set camera resolution is. If you want to record especially long, we recommend the 1500 mAh additional battery, which you have to choose in shops like Amazon.
