Drift Innovation
X170 Action Camera
25 of 28
The videos and photos give me a slight fisheye effect. Is this right?
Yes it is. We specially selected a 170 degree lens to provide users with the really quirky wide
angle that was really prominent in the early days of helmet cameras (especially in
skateboarding). The effect will be less pronounced on objects in the distance and more
pronounced on objects closer to the camera lens.
If you want a narrower angle of view or less funky image, then this may not be the product
for you.
What are the dimensions of the video camera?
The dimensions of the camera are 133 (L) x 50 (D) x 33 (W) mm and those of the remote
control are 52 (L) x 40 (W) x 13 (D) mm.
How far will the remote control work?
The wireless remote control uses radio frequency signal to transmit the 'START' / 'STOP'
messages to the camera. The range is 5m.
What is the biggest SD card I can use?
We specify that the largest SD card size is 16Gb. However we have conducted successful
tests with leading brands using 32GB cards too. Note that file sizes can quickly become very
large as the unit uses approx 1Gb for 30 minutes of high resolution video.
Can I connect my camera to a tripod or suction cup?
Yes. The X170 is the only camera on the market that comes with a built-in 8mm / 1/4"
female camera thread. You can therefore fix the camera to any tripod, suction mount (eg
Panavise 809) or other camera mount with the 8mm / 1/4" camera thread. These mounts
can be purchased from all our leading dealers or camera stores.
Can I power my camera from a cigarette lighter adaptor?
Yes. In order to do this connect the USB cable into the camera and into a USB cigarette
lighter adaptor. The unit will then take its power from your bike or car battery. Note that
although this allows you to power the camera unit, it does not recharge rechargeable
batteries if you are using them. You can buy the USB cigarette lighter adaptor from all of our
leading dealers or from electrical stores.

X. Troubleshooting
There's no display
•
Are the batteries properly installed?
•
Do the batteries need replacing?
After the camera is connected to my PC, it cannot find the new drive in
the 'My Computer' folder
•
Ensure each end of the camera USB cable is properly and firmly connected.
•
Ensure your USB port is working properly. Try connecting another USB device into
the port. If the other device does not work, the USB port may have a malfunction.
In this case, contact your system manufacturer or the manufacturer of your USB
card.
I can't capture video footage
•
Ensure there is enough space on the internal memory of camera or the SD card;
the display will tell you how much time there is left for video recording.
•
Ensure the SD card is not locked. The LCD will display a message if the SD card is
locked.
The remaining time is not accurate
•
The remaining time is an estimate.
•
The remaining time depends not only on the time recorded, but on the colour
density of the video footage. Under conditions with high contrast, such as
outdoors, the actual time available will be less than under low-contrast conditions.
I can't play the video footage on my television
•
Ensure each end of the AV cable is properly and firmly connected to the camera
and to your television.
•
Ensure the camera and television are both turned on.
•
Ensure you have set the television to the AV-mode.
Some captured video footage cannot be found when SD card is inserted
•
The video footage may be stored on the internal memory. Connect the camera to
your PC without an SD card, and it will show the files in the internal memory.
The sound is very low or there is no sound
•
Ensure the audio is on by following the instructions in the Sound Recording
section.
•
The camera is specifically designed for extreme sports and is waterproof, it is for
this reason that we have made the microphone less sensitive.
I can’t few clips on my computer, or I get an error message

•
If you still wish to use WMP or other editing software you need to upgrade your

can damage the video clip you are currently recording.
