wesley_r Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 It's too long to repost it, but check out my review of the HD170 on my blog:http://www.ratherberiding.co.za/review-drift-hd170-action-cam/ In summary I think the HD170's a kick-ass unit, and I had a ton of fun using it. Take a look at the review and tell me what you think...

wesley_r Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 here you go, i took a screen shot of the settings i used also - rather upload to vimeo or youtube (and then if you want to share it on facebook just post the link) - much better in terms of upload limits and quality
leon_pro Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 what is the price of a unit like this, and what is the night quality like? would it work for night riding?
wesley_r Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 The HD170 is R3 799 from www.actioncameras.co.za - I haven't tested it for night riding unfortunately, but it does have a night mode for shooting in low light
Capricorn Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 nice write up Wes. Surprised at the price of the cam though, but if it specs on the same level as the GoPro or Contour HDs, then i guess it's par for the course.
Warrick Kernes Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Terrific review. Thanks for sharing. On this Action Cameras page there's a video which shows the HD170 in night mode as well as a side-by-side comparison of the best helmet cams. Nice. http://www.actioncameras.co.za/comparison_of_hd_helmet_cameras.html
