GoPro 2 Alternative

Hi guys,

  This is my first post, just wondering if anyone know any other alternative camera as good or better than GoPro 2?  Don’t mind to pay a little bit more.

Cheers,

Haha!

I am pretty happy with my Drift!

Why do you want an alternative?  Don’t like the form factor?

Welcome to Boardworld, FS700.

I’ll leave this to the experts but just letting you know this thread will eventually be moved to the Photography and Filming section of the forums. I’ll leave it here for a couple of days before moving it over there. If you can’t find it here, that’s where it will be.

Hi,

I personally have access to all of the cameras through my job, When it came to filming my NZ holiday this year I chose to take a Drift HD and loved it! Worked well in the snow and you can mount them anywhere!

If you want any info about the Drift cameras feel free to hit me up, also SnoCam can look after you with these.

I swear RPS and I should be on some sort of commission for Drift. Over the past season we have been quizzed multiple times about our DriftHD’s whilst in lift lines and we launch into the standard spiel of why we think they are better than GoPro’s and other alternatives.

The strangest encounter was on the weekend just past when a couple of hot headed boarders blew up at me before eventually settling after they realised I wasn’t backing down. There was a moments silence before one of them starts asking me about the drift on my helmet….. 

Haha DRC!

Me too!

I prefer using DriftHD than any of my other cameras.
Send me a PM if your interested FS700.

Have been checking out the ION airpro and it’s a pretty shmick cam with wifi.
Contour is another brand who used to be the highest sold headcam in the world. “Contour Plus” is a nice model.

DriftHD720 is the best value cam on the market $219
DriftHD $329

And now Sony have entered the market with their own model.

Hi, I just saw the Sony Action Cam, I’m actually a GoPro2 user. I had version 1 as well.
I would like to try other brand see if the quality/distortion control are actually better.

dont know if i am too late and you have already made a purchase but i would definitely recommend the DriftHD as well. As per DRC’s comment, we’ve been quizzed many times on the mountain this season and the discussions had comparing the Drift to any of the other brands seems to result in the drift being better quality and value for money overall, especially over the go pro in my opinion.

Here’s a comparison I found interesting. The Sony Action Cam appear to shit all over the GoPro2 in terms of colour
