Reviews around touchscreen (5.00 of 5)

  • Great bright touchscreen on the back made it easy to switch modes using menu items or quick gestures
  • The touchscreen isn’t all that responsive, but the menu system is great
  • 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.
  • 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 picture (4.56 of 5)

  • It's tiny enough to fit into the palm of your hand, and still takes great pictures
  • ,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
  • Takes good pictures but some may not like the "fisheye" finish, thought that can be edited

  • The touch screen is fantastic and the UI is well designed

Reviews around light (4.49 of 5)

  • 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
  • I got used to a frozen screen and no light on, with my old camera.
  • Multiple menu settings, of which allow settings for very good low light photos

Reviews around action (4.10 of 5)

  • Buy this if your looking for a great 1080p action camera.
  • But for the price, its the best action camera you can buy!
  • The Yi Lite is the best entry level action camera out there
  • Truly disappointing as I was hoping to use this to document my honeymoon...
  • Some action cams work well in very low light (and I'm talking in the 5 lums or less range), but this is NOT one of them.

Reviews around app (4.08 of 5)

  • Truly disappointing as I was hoping to use this to document my honeymoon...
  • The app and features just flat out suck which really kills this camera
  • The app that YI has made for their action cameras is also really great (hoping Nikon will take some notes because I'd really like an app as nice for my DSLR)
  • I like the app that you can download to control the camera from your phone or tablet
  • The free Yi app was a big bonus and great for reviewing footage on the phone

Reviews around cam (3.35 of 5)

  • lite...its a very well built cam that will do just as good as the $400.00 and up versions!
  • That's unheard of, most of action cams crap out after 45-60 minutes, so if you need long battery life, this is the one to get!!
  • Some action cams work well in very low light (and I'm talking in the 5 lums or less range), but this is NOT one of them.
  • Took lots of snapshots and did miss the multi-focus lens (zoom).... but great cam when you just want to take pictures and not manage the complexity of a

Reviews around time lapse (1.72 of 5)

  • I did not read the description as good as I could have and was left disappointed
  • Bought this for time lapse videos, and it does that function competently, and as well as or better than my other cameras
  • I’ve provided some screen grabs from both cameras when I had them setup side-by-side taking a time-lapse off my roof
  • For the cloud oriented time lapses I do, 3-4 seconds is ideal
  • Time lapse works better then I had expected.

Reviews around sound (1.61 of 5)

  • Then about 30% of the videos had no sound at all, just static
  • The sound has died in my camera and no longer picks up the audio
  • 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
  • Pros: battery life, price, image qualityCons: cheap plastic material, sound is

Reviews around gopro (1.44 of 5)

  • At all level I get a clean, clear, and detail image unlike the blurry Gopro images on video and on pictures
  • 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
  • I feel like GoPro redefined the market back in 2015 with the release of the Session
  • I recommend thi camera as an alternative to an overpriced GoPro

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
