Mounting the Camera

1. Attach the Universal Clip to the camera in any 360^ orientation as needed -- first position the clip in the desired orientation, then secure by rotating the screw base by hand.
2. Slide the Universal Clip into your chosen mount, ensuring that it 'clicks' into place. *Double check it has been fully inserted by pushing out the clips.
3. Align your shot. Rotate the lens by hand, using the lens marker as an 'up' reference, maintaining it perpendicular to the ground for correct orientation.

CAR DVR MODE

This hands-off mode is ideal for insurance and security purposes.

The camera records footage in a continuous loop style (DVR Intervals) recording loop after loop until it fills the MicroSD Card. Once full, the oldest loops will be deleted as the newer ones are saved. The DVR loop interval can be 10s, 30s, 1min, 2min, 5min or 10min.

VIDEO TAGGING

When activated, this feature allows the camera to continuously record video, but only save when important footage is "Tagged".

While recording video, pressing the button will save video from a past and future interval since hitting the button - effectively filming an event which has passed and subsequent developments. For example, with a video tagging interval of 30s selected, the camera will save the previous 30s, and an additional 30s - a total of 1m "tagged" footage.

Video Tagging requires a class 10 micro SD card with 4GB of free space to function correctly.

INSTANT ON MODE

Enabling Instant On Mode allows the camera to turn on, and start recording with a single press of the button.

BIT RATE

Users can choose to keep the normal compression used by the H.264 codec, or if they prefer, allow a higher flow of data for preserving more of the original recording. This will result in a bigger file size.

FILTER

Quickly tailor your cameras settings to the recording conditions with filters.

Choose between Normal / Vivid / Low Light .

PIVOT MOUNT

Mountable anywhere at nearly any angle, the Drift Pivot Mount is your tool to capture the moment from any point of view you can imagine. Includes flat and curved adhesives, and can be used together with any other Drift mount.

HANDLEBAR MOUNT

The Drift handlebar mount is the perfect accessory for riders, whatever your discipline. Compatible with bars between 19mm and 36mm, and capable of pivoting more than 180 degrees, the handlebar mount opens up almost any angle for your video.

SUCTION CUP MOUNT

The ideal accessory for mounting your Ghost X to any non-porous flat surface. Ideal for use on car windshields or bodywork, the Suction Cup makes it simple to turn, tilt, and rotate your camera 360^ .

Wi-Fi can also be turned on via the cameras settings menu.
