Drift Ghost X/Ghost 4K Microphone and USB Adapter Cable

I bought this to be able to use a mic while charging the camera. Expensive for what it is though.

Comes in real handy when you are using a mic and your battery is about to die. You can keep on truckin and plug into a power source without having to disconnect the mic. Should be included with the Drift cameras especially in their combo packs. I also use it with my Hero 3+ BE.

The title on this is misleading. There is no microphone with this cable. I have a Ghost X Drift and it works great except when I ride my Harley the engine noise causes the camera to over modulate sounds like crap. After talking to a couple other Drift owners they said you need the Drift microphone for motovloging. Well I ordered this and no microphone came with it. In the picture there isn't a microphone. The microphone cord is super short. The only advantage this has is the usb charger that can charge the camera as you are driving down the road.I am not sure if it was worth the money, still doesn't fix the problem I am having with my camera

I got this cable to use with a Drift Ghost 4k+ camera. It’s particularly useful do in part to a weak internal mic on the camera and more-so due to a bafflingly idiotic battery design that makes it all but impossible to switch out batteries period, let alone while out on the go. Now, there is some confusing information regarding the battery. The literature says that it has a 1500 mah internal battery and a 450 mah modular battery. There is a removeable battery, so I don’t know if that’s the 450 mah battery that, I guess, provides supplemental power and if there’s an internal battery besides that...either way, whatever it is that is removeable is not easily removed, and there is absolutely a risk that you could damage your camera trying to get it out. I know that they sell a battery pack that is listed at 1500 mah, so you could theoretically have extra batteries, but again, they aren’t easy to swap out. Plus, as far as I can tell, there is no way to charge the batteries except while they are in the camera. So long story short, if you are planning on taking this out for a day of activities, you are almost certainly going to need an external mic and a power source at the same time, which requires this cable. And I would say that the cable does the job just fine. However, due to the fact that this camera has this bizarre battery situation and has no screen, I think the use case for the camera is fairly narrow, especially in comparison to something like a GoPro, which has a screen and it has batteries that you can easily remove and charge in a separate charger.

La verdad que viendo la incomodidad de utilizar una gopro a dia de hoy con tantos cables y accesorios para grabar el audio con esta fórmula es mucho más simple y fácil. Llevas la cámara Drift en el casco y con este cable sacas una conexión de audio y la otra para una powerbank que puedes llevar dentro del bolsillo de la chaqueta. Grabación ilimitada prácticamente y vas ligero y la instalación simple. Aquí Drift gana en uso para moto a gopro. Recomendable.
