Yi Technology - 4K Action Camera - Review and Sample Footage

[@SamiLuo]

Great review thanks Ryan! :D

[@theimacman]

Thanks bud! :)

[@stridermt2k]

This looks pretty cool! I'll check our your other videos on this one!

[@theimacman]

I love it. :) Makes me want to carry it around everywhere with me, just to have it. hahaha

[@ryanbutch3163]

hey ryan where do you store all of your stuff after every video? can you show your collection for a video?

[@theimacman]

I ran out of storage space, so I don't keep most of it any more... I give stuff away locally to friends, family, and coworkers, and I sell the rest to the local hobby shop. :)

[@G2Bpro]

nice review! Do you have a link to your panning timer? I haven't found one that looks like yours yet.

[@theimacman]

Ah, good question... the reminds me that I wanted to post links to all the accessories too. :) Here is the panner: amzn.to/2ewtMaX

[@MicroRCFiend]

I looks great from those small samples, is the WDR and contrast as stable as the original 1920x 1080 yi? Any footage of it on a quad flying around possible? Cheers

[@theimacman]

No idea about your first question, but yes, I do plan on using it for some aerial video at some point. :)

[@LTECNIC]

very nice video like friend

[@PhilippeOrlando]

Do you think this cam could read license plates if mounted on the dashboard?

[@theimacman]

Hard to say. I would think so, at least if the car is right in front of you.

[@traxxasrcpower907]

Hi Ryan, does this camera fit the aton gimbal?

[@theimacman]

No, it's too big. You could probably strap it to the mount though.

[@traxxasrcpower907]

ok thank you very much!

[@AshishAmatya]

u sud mount in X8C or K70 or simiar quad for its arial view

[@theimacman]

I will likely mount this on some brushless quad with a gimbal at some point. :)

[@gustofpv4470]

hey FR, all of the yi border mounts I have found don't seem to hang under a quad ...they are all top mounted... any thoughts... thanks for this helpful review...

[@theimacman]

Just mount the camera upside-down, and then use a video editor to rotate the video. :) The camera may even have a setting to flip the image within the camera, but I can't recall for sure or not.

[@EastCoastScaleCustoms]

and nice video.

[@dev1195]

Hey Ryan.Hope all is well.Do you KZbin for living ?

[@theimacman]

Nope, I do it all in my free time. :) I have a full-time job in software QA.

[@pnkflyd66]

But how does it fly?

[@theimacman]

Like a brick. heh :)~

[@Dontbeweakvato]

lol. that is definitely not your hood.... in Illinois

[@theimacman]

LOL indeed. The HD samples were filmed in Utah. The time-lapse and slo-mo were filmed here in IL though. :)

[@norbipuhl111]

not really a point to shoot vid,in 4k,if you down scale the video to full HD

[@theimacman]

Not true. Anyway, I posted the full 4K sample in a separate video.

[@br1ann88]

Do you get these videos sponsored? Cause this must be expensive- $200!

[@theimacman]

Some are sponsored, some are not. But I always told my sponsors that a sponsorship does not guarantee a positive review, so that way I could remain unbiased and tell the real truth about the product.

[@mins_982]

The real things that gopro have more than this are aftermarket parts

[@theimacman]

Yeah, but a lot of the mounts, etc, have universal connectors, so you can still use them with other action camera, as long as you have a case that has that kind of mount/connector.

[@mins_982]

Flyin' Ryan RC Yes i know but for me Gopro it's just an all around better camera, you know only a personal preference

[@RuudyL]

I have a Gopro clone with all the bells and whistles for $40 less worries if losing it, comes with all the Gopro attachments, pretty good image, but of course not the quality of yours
