The Yi Action Camera 2 is, quite frankly, the only Chinese action cam that has impressed me so far. TunnelBear message: TunnelBear is the easy-to-use VPN app for mobile and desktop.

  2. Hey which YI is this. I saw the YI without screen and a bit change does they release a new model also?
  3. Thanks for the review!
  4. Don't get one. the customer service is shit and the warranty is worthless. I bought two and one has defective WiFi.
    YI Tech couldn't give less of a fuck.
  5. Is this good for drum covers???
  6. thanks for the review! FINALLY BOUGHT THE XIAOMI YI 4K! the camera is just awesome. check-out a small vlog I made with the Yi 4k on my channel :)
  7. What is the app for it?
  8. this is what camera they use for the galaxy s4.....this technology olf,if you have a galaxy u should know your phone past the s4 has more capabilities in the camera section ,the camera on the galaxy is far superior in the camera than basically the gopro its crazy...look it up yourself
  9. +LinusTechTips Make an update review with the GoPro Hero 5 Black and the Yi Action Cam 2!
  10. will a micro usb to 3.5mm jack work to attach an external mic?
  11. So when viewing the videos on a computer or downloading them to youtube they come up blurry... Any suggestions? I've tried so many different settings it doesn't matter
  12. what setting are good? my video does not come out well at all.
  13. Newmowa has a charger with 3 slots, you can charge 3 batteries and hot swap with no issue
  14. Can you use the selfie stick underwater?
  15. Would it be possible to use this camera as something like a webcam for a computer?
  16. It's not 4k, and neither is the GoPro. We really shouldn't count noise artifacts or interpolations as actual pixels. A good chunk of those pixels are just random gibberish. And the vast majority of them are the result of a computer program going, "Hmm...remember what was here 10 frames ago? Let's just put something here that looks a bit like that did, cus people prolly won't tell the difference, and "4k" is a sweet selling point that will part people from more cash"
  17. Does this cam last long tho? Heard it stops working pretty soon.
  18. BRAND NEW YI 4K Action Camera with Waterproof Case 32G MicroSD Card Included Night Black FOR 250$

  19. You get what you pay for. In general, Chinese brands are cheaper. But don't expect a 60 buck cam to perform as good as a 400 dollar GoPro. However, if you are able to spend 100 plus, you can get a Chinese brand camera whose quality is just as good as GoPro. The chances are that they were probably manufactured in the same factory.
  20. Just got mine because of these review. :D
