Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Enhance Your Drift Ghost X/Ghost 4K Experience with Microphone and USB Adapter Cable by Mark Lodge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Due to the weak internal mic and weird battery design, this cable is an absolute must for 4k+.

I received this cable to use with my Drift Ghost 4k+ camera. This is particularly useful in part due to the camera's weak internal microphone and incredibly idiotic battery design, which makes it almost impossible to temporarily change batteries, let alone be on the go. Now there is some confusing information regarding the battery. The literature says that it has an internal battery of 1500 mAh and a modular battery of 450 mAh. There's a removable battery, so I don't know if it's the 450mAh battery I'm assuming will provide extra power, or if there's an internal battery alongside it. There is an absolute risk of damaging the camera by trying to pull it out. I know they sell a battery listed as 1500mAh so theoretically you could have extra batteries but again they are not easy to replace. Also, as far as I can tell, there's no way to charge the batteries unless they're in the camera. In short, if you're going to take it with you all day, you'll almost certainly need an external microphone and power supply at the same time, which is what this cable requires. And I would say that the cable does its job very well. However, since this camera has such a weird battery and no screen situation, I think the use case for the camera is pretty narrow, especially compared to something like a GoPro that has a screen and batteries that you easily remove and charge in one can separate charger.
