Reviews around cam (4.28 of 5)

  • This Yi 4K Action Camera is a great alternative to the popular Gopro action cam at half the price
  • Always, the camera only has a few knocks which I will point out, not worthy of a loosing a
  • The camera is so heavily reliant on my smart phone that I'm confused as to why I don't just buy a 4k recording smart phone...
  • Even my 5 years old Mobius Action Cam supports these 128GB cards with no problem
  • The sheer number of features that make the Yi 4k action cam superior to the gopro is incredible

Reviews around action (4.27 of 5)

  • I was looking to get a GoPro Hero4 Session as a cheap action camera, but I saw this for around the same price
  • There are many cheap 4k action cameras out there but the video quality and options is horrible, Yi on the other hand delivers on both quality and price
  • The camera is so heavily reliant on my smart phone that I'm confused as to why I don't just buy a 4k recording smart phone...
  • Heavy and solid as compared to some of the cheap action cameras out there
  • wonderful action camera, way cheaper than GoPro and quality is way better than GoPro

Reviews around feature (4.05 of 5)

  • it was a solid action camera, but the software lacked some features that professional users would find critical
  • But the features and quality of the videos are incredible
  • Sometimes it says my memory card is too slow when recording 4k-30fpsHas more features than the new Go-Pro Hero5 and performs nearly the same
  • I'm not a tech savvy so this camera is great for recording my travels with a good quality and features available
  • One of my favorite features is that you can use the camera when it's charging.

  • Pros: -impressive 4k footage -1080p at 120fps for super slow motion videos - Microsoft Hyperlapse App(YI version

Reviews around product (3.82 of 5)

  • Great product.. better than any action cam in the market.
  • We strive to create durable, quality products, and I would like to assure you that the particular product you purchased was an unfortunate anomaly
  • Works well, but lack of a flashing light indicator of operation visible on back of camera in protective case is very annoying and lost product two stars.
  • Great product , nice features ,will continue recommending this over GoPro.
  • Great product, 100% superior than gopro in specifications and design.

  • Always, the camera only has a few knocks which I will point out, not worthy of a loosing a
  • The problem comes with the internal construction, there is some uneven plastic which does not allow for the memory card to come out
  • Both cameras cracked around the screw-in spot due to what looks like cheap plastic
  • i think 54 C is considerably hot for a camera of this type especially during longer usage duration

Reviews around lens (1.63 of 5)

  • One thing they need to fix is if you use lens distortion correction and electronic image stabilization you get some weird effects.
  • And I'm making a protective lens cap, which I'm surprised it didn't come with.
  • Lastly, while the lens distortion correction works well, I don't think the EIS works particularly well (perhaps when combined with lens distortion correction
  • One nice detail is that you can use a standard gopro lens protector which I recommend, because scratching you lens leads to frustration
  • Also a lens cover would be very helpful in keeping the lens clean and protected

Reviews around memory card (1.54 of 5)

  • I do have problems sometimes not reading the memory card, says there is no card
  • I have to give this bundle a 3 star, not because the camera isn't good but because the memory card it came with is pretty much only good for taking photos
  • i think 54 C is considerably hot for a camera of this type especially during longer usage duration
  • The camera is so heavily reliant on my smart phone that I'm confused as to why I don't just buy a 4k recording smart phone...

Reviews around motion (1.34 of 5)

  • The feature I really love about the camera is the slow motion
  • The second one involved the quality of the camera on slow motion
  • Also, I bought this to stream live to facebook and there are zero instructions with the unit on how to do that (although their tech support sent me a link to a third party blog that wrote a post on how to do it that, so far, I haven 't gotten to work).
  • I have used the time lapse, slow motion, 4k shooting and have even taken pictures
  • The slow motion is so cool on this

Reviews around card error (1.17 of 5)

  • Good camera with good quality, however it's SD compatibility is an issue, using a sandisk U3 64gb, receommended by Xiaomi, there are various slow card errors, various formats have been done and issue still persists
  • i think 54 C is considerably hot for a camera of this type especially during longer usage duration
  • Well there's an issue out there where this camera will throw "Slow Card" errors and will prevent you from recording or even turning off the camera at times.
  • As soon as I power the camera on it beeps and says "SD Card Error" and then says "No Card" in the top left hand corner of the screen
  • I have the Sandisk Extreme pro 32GB, the Sandisk Extreme 64GB, and Lexar 1000x 64GB and these have all displayed the "Slow Card" error.

Reviews around noise (1.00 of 5)

  • The sound quality has a little to be desired as it picks up unwanted noise and wind from time to time
  • To me, having the sound blowout with loud noises is practically a defect in design.
  • The one I did not expect unbearable wind noise from was the camera I placed inside, suction cupped to my windshield.
  • Can't get rid of static noise issue seriously prevalent in yi cameras
  • Also, any loud noise will blow-out the audio when played back.
