Ion Air Pro Plus Action Camera

[TangBu 1]

Does anyone have experience with this camera for skydiving? How does it compare with say, a GoPro?

It's not a bad little camera. Not as rich as a gopro, not as smooth as a Sony AS, it's just "another POV camera in the 14mbps compression range" space.

There is a point where either you're getting a decent POV camera such as a
GoPro
Replay
Sony

or you're buying one of the many plastic toys with lenses and a low bitrate
Swann
Ion
Pioneer
JVC
Drift

Hi DSE,
is this referring to the original Drift or all of them (Drift, Drift HD, Drift HD Ghost)? The reason I'm asking is that my 2nd camera is Drift HD and I have not seen a lot of difference compared to materials from 1st or 2nd gen GoPro's.

~Neither first nor second gen GoPro ever excited me/most professionals.
~Yes, have tested all the Drift's. They didn't like my last two reviews, so have not tested the latest firmware update to the Ghost. The company has terrible tech support in the US anyway, so it's not been worth chasing down.
In the production world, bitrate, custom settings, quality compression take the prize, and at the moment, it boils down to the three cameras I mentioned above.
