Drift is also pleased to welcome legendary freestyle motocross legend and Metal Mulisha member Jimmy Fitzpatrick to the Drift Innovation US FMX Team. Jimmy and his Temecula, CA based crew will generate monthly content from his world-renowned Fitzland motocross training facility.
“I’m stoked to be part of the Drift family,” offered Fitzpatrick, “There are lots of cameras to choose from, but to me, the Ghost-S is by far the best. When I’m training at Fitzland, I need my equipment to just work. The Ghost-S is ideal – it provides powerful features, but it’s just so easy to use.”
“The streamlined design is perfect for motocross,” continued Fitzpatrick, “and the built-in LCD screen and rotatable lens are incredibly practical. I never have to worry about whether I got the shot – I can tell right away how the video looks… and it always looks smooth and amazing.”
Increased 3.5h Battery Life & Improved Video Quality
Built and expanded on the foundation of the award-winning Drift HD Ghost, the Ghost-S boasts such stunning features as an industry-best 3.5-hour battery (@30fps) plus the ability to film spectacular quality video in 1080p@60fps and 720p@120fps.
Get the Shot and See It
A built-in two-inch LCD screen (made scratch resistant by Corning® Gorilla® Glass) lets users see what they’re filming or use it for instant playback. The Ghost-S also features a 300-degree rotating lens, allowing the ability to mount the camera at any angle to capture the perfect shot. The simple interface enables users to easily set preferred shooting mode: video, photo, photoburst or timelapse.
Improved Low Light Settings
The Ghost-S now offers Scene Mode and the ability to choose from normal, vivid or low light settings. Scene Mode simplifies set-up relevant to the lighting conditions. In the low light setting, the Ghost-S adjusts automatically to provide the best image quality possible.
Two Way Remote Control
Like its predecessor, the Ghost-S comes with Drift’s Two-Way Remote, placing intuitive control at the user’s fingertips by clearly communicating the camera’s function status with Drift’s color system. The remote can also control multiple Drift cameras at once.
Technologically Advanced
Ideal for professionals and casual users alike, the Ghost-S is the most robust Drift camera to date with a leading-edge processor, Sony CMOS sensor and 7-element aspherical lens technology, making the Ghost-S capable of 1080p at 60fps and 12mp stills. Whether strapped to a helmet while snowboarding or shooting a documentary, the result is extraordinarily smooth, rich video in any condition. More additions to the Ghost-S include “Clone Mode,” where multiple Drift cameras can record simultaneously, and “Car DVR mode” for in-car and on-bike video security.
Combined with the free iOS and Android Drift app, Ghost-S users have ultimate control and customization. The Ghost-S retails for $399 USD and will be available at retail locations worldwide on November 26 and for pre-order now at driftinnovation.com
