Yi 4K Action Cam Review - The GoPro Killer!?

[@TechLineHD]

Have been using this camera for a month already. Yes, it is a GoPro killer.

[@tobyr8555]

Any chance of uploading some demo footage?

[@rybob7]

It's not out yet! If you somehow have the camera, please post a sample video with 4k video, and upload it to KZbin in 4k, as I haven't seen any 4k test footage of the camera yet uploaded to KZbin.

[@TechLineHD]

I am a tech reviewer, that's why I have it. I just don't have the permission to post the review yet.... don't know why though... The 4k video quality is phenomenal :)

[@tobyr8555]

+TechLineHD oh awesome. Well when you are allowed can you upload a ton of samples? Does it have raw photos by any chance? And is there a flat (ish) video picture profile similar to go pros protube?

[@joshlee9396]

any review for the first gen Yi cam?

[@SimonChristensen]

4K footage comparisons in a 1080p video... Great

[@bubblemanpie]

It's Xiaomi, it's obviously not gonna be bad from one of the worlds biggest phone OEM's.

[@jamezrin]

+1

[@VEVOJavier]

They're actually not in the top 5 in terms of sales, but their phones are okay

[@143codydrewbieber]

+Javier sebastian once, xiaomi be the third place.. But now the fifth on sale.

[@anwidocu]

A result of not spending 90% of their money on marketing. Which is a huge plus for me, b/c I don't care about how "popular" it is among the masses but more about actual quality/price ratio.

[@bubblemanpie]

I currently have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and I'm in love with it, no problems so far. Amazing phone. I imported it from China for around $200.

[@clickphotography9422]

Good brands like DJI do the trick for me. Quality anyday I think. Their new action 2 is worth the hype.

[@Smirkku]

That camera is overpriced as fuck. It's also trash due to it's bad features: built in memory, only 22 usable, bad battery life when filming on 4k, considering it's so overly priced it should have removable lens covers, but it doesn't. Without a mod part there is no way to charge the camera. 4k 120fps is great feature, but I would save my money for better camera that has it.

[@JontyCawleyGraham]

You could beat the shit out of someone with that selfie stick.

[@bomberharris9322]

nice products ya got there mate,i used a chinese product one time...it broke...

[@yf4044]

Some leading Chinese tech companies like Xiaomi desperately want to change the poor quality stereotype of Chinese products.

[@Hon2838]

xiaomi's phones have pretty great product quality,the redmi 1s that i brought for 100 usd 2 years still works fine and still have ota updates lol

[@likhithramesh9065]

redmi 1s is a great phone for frequent ROM flashers...i too had one..until i lost it...luved that phone

[@nextlifeonearth]

Hey guys, just wanted to thank you, yet again, for another honest review. I really like that you take the time to lay out the pros, as well as the cons, of every device that comes in. Unlike far too many other KZbin channels, your integrity hasn't seemed to have budged one bit, even with the number of subscribers you have. I, as well as many others here I'm sure, truly appreciate your unwillingness to "sell out". Keep it up, and all the best!

[@doom2125]

Yess, GoPro needs all the competition they can get!

[@fourtwothree5422]

No ones gonna ask? Fine ill do it 5:41 Why are there speakers on top of a headset

[@TheSaxDemon]

Because China.

[@fourtwothree5422]

ok....

[@brokensteps98]

+Claire Forest actually not China. these are from a kick starter that launched a year or two ago. people went crazy over them, and I presume Linus is going to release his review soon. Probably had them with him for testing, and seeing as he didn't look that weird using them over there, so why not.

[@TheSaxDemon]

sami deiri Yeah, but he introduced himself in China at the time, so for the uninformed, its good enough.

[@theguy_58]

You can watch the review on vessel but should come out on youtube late next week.

[@Madmick82]

Selfie stick or extendable baton, you decide.

[@KevinAllOver]

Xiaomi's camera offerings have been exceptional to date. I shot all except my latest video with V1 (shot in 2k, uploaded as 1080p) and the only drawback was the lack of a line-in for a shotgun mic. I've since upgraded to a G7 for that sweet sweet 4k + interchangeable lens + adjustable aperture etc etc, but I'd definitely recommend the Yi 2. If you're questioning the brand at all, they're the 5th largest cell phone manufacturer in the world so, if you'd be comfortable with a Samsung or Apple action cam, you can bet on Xiaomi to deliver.

[@muleskinnerpro]

I am also interested in the G7

[@EightSixt]

Watching this on Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 ! Linus ! Please do Xiaomi phone reviews!! THEY ARE SO CHEAP (in China cause online you get ripped off) AND SO GREAT!!

[@tttamm]

EVEN IF you're getting inflated prices online, they're still a sensible choice for the price. The build quality is excellent, the phones look nice and the hardware does not disappoint.

[@M04366597G]

Redmi Note 2 user here too!! Linus you should do a review on the Xiaomi Max!

[@TechReflex]

Have always been a fan of their products, but this year, one+ best them. Op3 is a better value for money than mi 5.

[@brokensteps98]

how much are they in China ? got my note 2 during Christmas for 90GBP, and just bought a note 3 pro (32gb Qualcomm) for 140GBP.

[@EightSixt]

[@PapadumGeek]

Great review Linus, I believe Yi has created a not a GoPro killer device but a better alternative to the very popular over priced GoPro. GoPro has been sitting on the bench for the last couple of years with very little changes to their lineup. The XiaoMI camera has proven to be the far better camera at a fraction of the cost. I personally own a GoPro and it works for the most part, but I am looking for an upgrade and I will def be looking at the Yi camera as a cheaper/better alternative to the slow dying GoPro

[@sajidrh]

[@MordeaniisChaos]

Nice. I've always wanted to pick up a Go Pro to encourage me to do more adventuring and for trips to the range. This seems like a way better alternative for my use case. Thanks Linus!

[@FinancialEducation]

Was I the only one that thought it looked better without stabilization than with?

[@UberGooose]

ikr? so much distortion

[@EpIcHoBoGuY]

of course it would the way it works is pretty much its cropping the image and moving it so that it looks more stable so so when you are doing image stabilization you are useing less of your sensor at any one time giving you a lower quality image

[@zoeytrope]

I'm glad a bigger youtuber like you is taking about the Yi, because more people need to know about it, and the fact they save hundreds of dollars compared to GoPros

[@GraveUypo]

i have Yi. it was launched around the same time as the go pro 4, and it's about as good as a go pro 3, for a tenth of the price. i'd say that's a success, even though the battery life is a bit terrible and it really could use a screen (they have both of those as add-ons. i haven't got around to buying them though) [edit] oh. they seem to have fixed both of my complaints with this new one. awesome

[@Chinanon-stop]

Can you plug in external mic? I can not find any info about this... Seriously it matters a lot without external mic...:-(

[@yjjz7845]

always love the amount of useful detail that linus give in a review

[@elperasmanzaneras]

Hi Linus, I think that you find all those Chinese "cheap" electronic devices are not worth even if they truly are. "I won't completely disagree" Are you kidding me? It beats the crap out of a product that cost waaaaaaay more and you don't even blink? What about Xiaomi smartphones? What about Letv smartphones 2k screen, 810, 4Gb RAM, 64Gb, for only 170$ and you don't even bother taking a little look? There are a lot of "cheap Chinese" products that might me cheap bur hell yes they do rock!

[@esaedvik]

That's not how it works...

[@pyrocentury]

that's how actual GoPro/action camera footage look, especially in the lighting they had on that trail. The ones you see on GoPro commercials are either post edited or they mix in footage from DSLR/RED cameras.

[@AndrewSmart32]

exactly, thats what got me wondering in the first place. You can even see an sjcam camera when he goes n the site looking for this YI 4K Camera

[@bubblemanpie]

It's made by Xiaomi, one of the biggest phone OEM's in the world, sadly they don't sell phones outside of Asia. I had the Yi cam 1, and I loved it. So I'm about to order this one, you can't go wrong for the price.

[@jmas1023]

got friend using it as dashcam. Nice cam, but some ppl said they need to open it up to adjust the lens focus.

[@rybob7]

Yes, I would defiantly recommend it. It will be released in about 2 weeks. It is currently the best performing Commercially available action camera, better than any of the Go Pros at this time. You pair that with an amazing starting MSRP of $250 and you can't beat it period. Not even the $450 GO PRO Hero 4 Black edition can beat it.

[@rybob7]

+ Mree Universe traveler *It's not out it!* If you somehow have the camera, please post a sample video with 4k video, and upload it to KZbin in 4k, as I haven't seen any 4k test footage of the camera yet uploaded to KZbin.

[@t3vlogs230]

I currently use a "XiaoMi Yi Action Camera" for my Motovlogs and it is amazing, It's cheap so i don't mind risking it to solder on an external mic adapter. Something i would not do to a GoPro considering the price difference. As well as the fact that if it breaks randomly at least i won't be down $300+ AUD I will be definitely upgrading to a "XiaoMi Yi Action Camera 2" After watching this!

[@verafice]

Worth mentioning that the original Yi Action Camera is super cheap and also pretty great. They even added 2k support with a firmware update.

[@isaiyas]

This is going to be my next camera i have finally decided. I dont want to wait for GoPro Hero 5 and its steep price. This is a great deal of a camera imo.

To say that intro was killer, is an understatement.

[@98coolmen]

Oh a new camera from the yi series i love the old one and it makes still very good movies

[@nchpmn]

The 'jitter' Linus described in the stabilisation is motion blur - when the footage is shaking, the motion blur is created. Stabilise the footage after the image has hit the sensor - as the Yi is doing - and the motion blur remains.

[@Starfals]

I got the Plus version and it rocks.

[@operator8014]

Hey Linus, could you do a quick AMD recommendations video? Like, if you were 100% sold on going AMD for some reason, these are that parts we recommend for the price and areas where they'll perform best. I think that would be a good video to satisfy a lot of your more aggressive critics!

Great review as always Linus. How does the footage stand up to colour grading? Most of the action cameras I have used fall apart when graded, so would love something that produces more robust images!

[@amgdy]

Great review Linus, Do you have URL to buy it?

[@Fastiun]

Used a Yi for a year, great camera. Blew me away with its quality and one of my favorite purchases of the past few years.

[@MeatPopsycle]

That image stabilizer is amazing.

[@IBCMTB]

Looks pretty good. Am very interested in how well the stills stack up, I need an action cam to stick in a gimbal that I can hack up to add a physical interface to connect the shutter button to an RC receiver.

[@TV3MASTER]

i have had the YI (1) for quite some time now, my friends who have the gopro hero are just jalous all the way, i love the ting. also, i hope linus does a xiaomi phone review sometime, they are amazing, i recently bought the mi4C as my 3 year old mi MI2S got a crack in the screen, but other than that it still outperfoms many new devices today :D

[@ReginaldSharma]

linus, whatever mic you guys are using.... holy god it sounds awesome! (yes this comment has nothing to do with the vid but i'm amazed at the sound on this vid) #micblown!

[@paulthehutt5767]

Finally, a decent camera that actually costs a fair amount. I'll admit I love Gopros and their ecosystem and reliability (using a silver 3 refurbished) but they are still way too expensive for what they are.

[@ScullyBrewing]

On the pre-order website they do sell a battery charging dock with their 5 in 1 kit that can charge two batteries simultaneously so you could have two spares charging in the dock and one charging in the camera

[@llortaton2834]

ALSO LINUS MAKE MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS!!! THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SUBBED!

[@mateozero8]

Wow that stabilization is so good

[@lolindirlink]

the Chinese SJ4000 is a pretty good Hero 3 silver competitor for only 80,- bucks (back then) with a full range of accesoires. and it also had a display (non-touch). still not shabby! (and i bet the newer ones that have wifi, 1080p 60fps and some K-support are worth their price as well.) and no shipping costs by ordering from Banggood , my favorite chinese warehouse :')

[@conorduffield6051]

This seems like a great product for the money, but I'll be sticking with my Hero4 Silver, just because I rarely shoot above 2K for general usage and it comes with a touch screen LCD. So to say it's a "GoPro Killer?!" would be misleading. If your not into professional video production and want something that you can capture actions moments on the cheap then this is probably a good choice, but I'd still go for the GoPro on the basis that everything is fully universal, fully supported App and a superior image quality. Great video none the less.
