There has been a revolution in action and sport cameras over the last couple years with car owners installing dash-cams as a measure of added insurance protection, and for good reason. But for sports/action use, does it pay to pay, or is brand loyalty the discerning factor?

There’s no denying that Gopro has the market share and an almost religious following, but there’s other alternatives for filming your adventure; whether biker, surfer or climber. We’ve got our hands on 3 popular choices: The GoPro Hero 4 silver, Drift Ghost-S and a GoPro lookalike, the SJCAM SJ 4000. All Wi-Fi compatible.

Time for Teletubbies!

Action cameras of course have multiple uses, but being an auto site we’ll focus on use for car and motorcycles.

The Drift is a quite a sleek design in comparison to its counterparts which are box shaped in comparison, albeit small. Positioning is smooth and easy with its rotating lens which pretty much gives you the flexibility to mount it anywhere. On the helmet it fits nice, neatly and flush to the side with its simple clamp and mounting pad. It can be top mounted with similar fashion. Should you wish to mount it on the bike/motorcycle frame or bars, the optional clamp is a quick and easy job due to its rotating lens. No need for elbow joints to get a level picture, and the LCD screen adds to the ease. Any professional camera mount will also accommodate the Drift. It can easily be used as a dash-cam with its standard cam mount and DVR setup, and with nearly 3 hrs recording time, there’s no need to constantly check if the device is running low. The GoPro and SJ4000 both require clamping plates to mount in the car (included with SJ 4000). As for the GP you can buy a dedicated suction cup but this requires it to be left in its case or to find a similar open housing clamp to the SJ 4000.
