Gopro 4 Black Vs Drift Ghost S? I am really undecided?

Question

Hello,

I am trying to decide between a Gopro 4 Black edition and a Drift Ghost S. I am getting them for recording flight videos from inside a cockpit with the aircraft's radio audio plugged into the camera.

I have found all the accessories that I would need to make either camera work for what I want it for, and the setup for the Gopro 4 Black is around $720, and the Drift Ghost S setup would be around $530.

I am really torn trying to decide which I would rather get. The GoPro will have better video and will be a bit more "future-proof", while the Drift Ghost S will be easier to set up shots with due to the included remote and the rotating lens. Also, the Drift setup is around $180 cheaper.

I am slightly leaning toward getting the Drift Ghost S over the Gopro 4 Black. I do not want to choose the Gopro simply because "it is a Gopro".

Does anyone have any information to help decide which setup to get?

Answer 1

Go easier. Get Drift Ghost. Remote and rotating lens are huge advantages.

Answer 2

The Sony HDR-AS15, HDR-AS30 and HDR-AS100 should be on your short list, too. They came out with a new model that does not appear to have an audio input - the AS15, AS30 and AS100 do - and I would expect a price drop because of the new model replacement.
