Had this camera for about a month now and have been using it non stop especially on mountain bike trails. I spent a lot of time researching this product and the Go Pro + Contour HD before going for the Drift and I have not been disappointed. The mounts are rock solid when tightened properly and the lens gives a really nice wide view, close to the angle of the human eye. 1080p at 30 frames per sec is seriously good, I've had experience with real HD camcorders and the Drift really shines, it doesnt match them but comes very very EXTREMELY close. 60fps 720p is very smooth and can be edited to slow down the video to give slow motion.
Once I had it attached to my head and it slipped and fell to the ground while I was biking at speed, camera got run over by my own bike but nothing happened. So it's a pretty tough camera.
Like another user said the lens is vunerable and I do worry about it shattering/scratching so thats a CON.
Yesterday the camera got caught in some heavy rain for about 1h 10 mins, it was bucketing, I steeled myself for a messed up camera when I got home but it was fine after drying, the back end where the SD card + battery is kept was bone dry too. I wouldnt take it for a dip in the pool however. Oh and the waterproof case is pretty dear at £30 but may be worth using to protect the lense and screen, I know I will eventually get it for watersports.
It has lots of mounting options apart from a tripod but I picked one of those up for 50p at the local Poundland. The screen is pretty impressive in terms of resolution, and the cameras processor is powerful enough to fast forward/rewind recorded footage. The remote works well, however because im a battery saving freak I tend to turn my cam on, record, then turn it back off so I have no battery life problems (recorded a camping trip with friends for 4 days!). One huge CON is that the camera from Amazon does not come with a SD card and I only had a 1GB card from another digi cam for a while so was really frustrationg when I could only record 10 mins at 1080p.. Any other questions feel free to ask!

The price had gone down since the new smaller hd version has been released, so i thought this is the one to buy
The delivery was quick as always when i buy from Amazon and the camera worked as i expected once the battery was charged. I use if for vlogging on my motorbike and fixed it to my helmet using the sticky pads that came in the box. All i can say is that the quality is great and just as i had hoped it would be. I also purchased the mic and the silicone cover from e bay as it was cheaper there.
All in all a great buy and one that i do not regret

The camera is very light weight and durable. Having the screen to preview your viewing angles which is of course great for anything unless it is mounted on your head... which of course you will need a friend to help you with. Using the exposure settings takes a little practice, but as a general rule go for a lower rather than higher level as it is easy to overexpose. The fish eye effect is great and you almost get a 180 view... being able to zoom in with the standard quality recording is good too, which means you do not have to always have the fish eye effect for family recordings. Head mounting takes some practice to get right as the camera is a little bulky which makes it bounce on side mounted on a bicycle helment or goggle mount. Also you often recorde the side of your head with the fish eye lens. Depending on the effect you are looking for this can be good or bad ;-)
If you are looking for a discreate camera to record your cycling commute the stealth will not be the best for you. It is too bulky for this, it is really only usable for extreme sports recording. You can mount it on your handle bars discreetly, but not a discrete head mount, so you can eyeball rear and parallel traffic. If you are doing extreme sports recording this camera is ideal. You will need the expanded battery if you are thinking of using the camera for more than 2 hours continuos use... which is great and I am not complaining here :-) It mounts easily and just about anywhere as all the mounts you will need are included. The remote is a dream and works well.
It is more than water proof and will endure the heaviest of showers. Although this will effect the recording quality as the water collects around the lens.
The microphone is poor quality and because of being mounted on the side it picks up wind quite easily. If you are looking to capture a good sound quality you will definatey need some kind of external mic.
If you can afford it this would be my recommendation for anyone looking to do vlogging or youtube posts of their training sports or extreme sports or adventure holiday.

Awesome
In photographic mode gives a wide angle shot that is very unique. The only drawback in video recording mode is the precision of setting the lens at the correct angle. Read more

great camera, picture quality excellent, sound not great but that's not critical due to wind noise.
Had to buy extra mounts to fix it to my bike.
