Let me start by saying, this camera is a beast! The DRIFT Ghost XL has been my go-to for capturing all my biking and hiking escapades. The build quality is solid—it feels like it could survive a tumble or two (though I haven’t tested that theory yet).

The 1080P HD video quality is crisp, and the colors pop just right. I’ve recorded some stunning sunset rides, and the footage looks almost as good as being there. The 140° super-wide angle lens is a game-changer—no more awkwardly repositioning the camera to fit everything in the frame.

Battery life? Absolutely killer. With up to 9 hours of recording, I’ve never had to worry about it dying mid-adventure. Plus, the waterproof design means rain or splashes won’t stop you (I even took it snorkeling once—worked like a charm).

The rotatable lens is genius. Mount it on your helmet, adjust the angle, and forget about it. No more crooked footage! And Dash Cam mode is perfect for road trips—peace of mind knowing it’s always recording.

Now, the app… It’s decent but could use some love. Bluetooth can be finicky, and I’ve had a few connection drops. Not a dealbreaker, but hopefully, they’ll iron that out in updates.

Overall? If you want a rugged, reliable action cam that won’t quit on you, the Ghost XL is a stellar pick. Just maybe keep an eye on that app connectivity.
