Reviews around touchscreen (5.00 of 5)

  • Touchscreen is responsive, but not TOO responsive (like on the GoPro, which is irritating when you accidentally touch the screen, then you gotta cycle thru several screens to get back to where you were)- Image quality in high to medium light is outstanding, and manually adjustable.
  • The touchscreen isn’t all that responsive, but the menu system is great
  • Great bright touchscreen on the back made it easy to switch modes using menu items or quick gestures
  • All else is controlled with a very high quality rear display with an accurate touchscreen that runs you through a very simple and intuitive menu of functions

Reviews around battery life (4.59 of 5)

  • Battery life might be best in this class for the action cam's
  • Battery life is EXCELLENT as well - I carried it around with me on a 6 plus hour trip, filming about 1.5 hours on and off, with still battery life left at the end of the day
  • Pros: battery life, price, image qualityCons: cheap plastic material, sound is
  • Truly disappointing as I was hoping to use this to document my honeymoon...
  • The battery life is great; I took it on a camping trip for 5 days, took over 300 photos and a handful of videos, and it did fine

Reviews around picture (4.56 of 5)

  • It's tiny enough to fit into the palm of your hand, and still takes great pictures
  • Takes good pictures but some may not like the "fisheye" finish, thought that can be edited
  • ,it shoots good picture and video and very easy to use until the battery started having issue,other than that I would recommend this product,the tech support was kind enough to send me a replacement battery..
  • The picture is good but it is a little grainy in low light settings and in situations where your game with a band and maybe a little grainy however the audio does
  • They work awesome for your youtube channel and have a great picture

Reviews around light (4.49 of 5)

  • I got used to a frozen screen and no light on, with my old camera.
  • In less than bright light the recording isnt just "a little worse" it looks like a video from a VHS tape back in the 90's
  • It's not really that low light of a scene to be honest.
  • The lighting for photos just fine in low light settings but the
  • Multiple menu settings, of which allow settings for very good low light photos

Reviews around product (4.45 of 5)

  • It's a well refined product from the reputable manufacture; yet, it still has some minor technical glitches: touch screen is responsive/sensitive until first screen lock after that it gets sluggish and non-responsive, it is simpler to restart camera, besides this I did not find any issues
  • Product works, but when you put the water proof case on, sound quality goes down considerably (no mic port on case).
  • that seriously does it's homework both in understanding the consumer action camera market and in designing and manufacturing great quality, affordable, highly reliable and highly functional imaging products to meet that markets needs
  • Great product especially for $67 (during Black Friday Flash Sale)
  • This company might make a great product but there morally bankrupt and have zero customer service, just a great appearance of customer service I would not recommend this to anybody go with the runcam where the Run box it's 4K Bluetooth as more features that are definition and is cheaper than this.

Reviews around action (4.10 of 5)

  • I had heard good things about Yi cameras, but I really regret making this purchase when I could have bought another cheap action cam that was more durable and that had a simple remote app that would actually work
  • Even cheaper action cameras have this, it may not seem important but with the great video and image quality this would have been a very nice feature
  • But for the price, its the best action camera you can buy!
  • Truly disappointing as I was hoping to use this to document my honeymoon...
  • Buy this if your looking for a great 1080p action camera.

Reviews around app (4.08 of 5)

  • Truly disappointing as I was hoping to use this to document my honeymoon...
  • I like the app that you can download to control the camera from your phone or tablet
  • The app and features just flat out suck which really kills this camera
  • For the way I use this camera, I found the app to be a super useful capability that Yi Tech has made the effort to refine and polish
  • The free Yi app was a big bonus and great for reviewing footage on the phone

Reviews around sound (1.61 of 5)

  • Every single video had a weird buzzing/beeping sound in the background, not super loud but noticeable
  • Since I know how much fun I had with it, I think I'm going to save up for a Garmin Virb Ultra 30 for better images, usable sound and ant+ sensor support
  • If you're an audiophile expecting clear and balanced sound, you be be disappointed
  • Pros: battery life, price, image qualityCons: cheap plastic material, sound is
  • The sound has died in my camera and no longer picks up the audio

Reviews around gopro (1.44 of 5)

  • I feel like GoPro redefined the market back in 2015 with the release of the Session
  • At all level I get a clean, clear, and detail image unlike the blurry Gopro images on video and on pictures
  • I recommend thi camera as an alternative to an overpriced GoPro
  • I don't really see the need to spend $500 on a more expensive GoPro unless you are a professional
  • I have an expensive GoPro Hero and you never know what you are actually recording because it has no view screen

Reviews around wind noise (1.00 of 5)

  • The audio is actually pretty good for the size, Only issue I found was wind noise which is unavoidable, I really wish it had a aux for a windproof mic since I'm a car enthusiast
  • Outside the wind noise blows out the mic
  • It's just pure wind noise (normally 9-13 mph riding for that stuff) or reverberations from the bike the entire time
