JurijTurnsek Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 http://***URL removed***/news/8382440790/xiaomi-yi-ii-action-camera-updates-original-with-4k-video-faster-sensor WVGA/240fps 720p/240fps 960p/120fps 1080p/120fps 1440p/60fps 2.5K/30fps 4K/30fps The only downside that I see is that it does not come with waterproof case like GoPro does (so the price is not that low). However, the original was hacked - maybe this one will be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hope it gets hacked! Is what makes the original so strong a choice for 360VR. Hope they also keep on making the original, that way they're attacking both the high end of GoPros, and competing also with a second product at a very very low price.

I'm sure that most, if not everyone has seen and/or heard about back-bone, but I didn't know it was available at bhphotovideo.com http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?N=11155134&InitialSearch=yes&sts=pi If you can pair it with one of these.... now you are talking: http://lilliputweb.net/mopro.html You might need to do some hacking of your own, i.e. burn out and file away to cut-out the back-bone add-on into the liliput monitor.

IronFilm Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 mkabi, LOL! I hope you are joking. I think that is a bit expensive/ridiculous. Just get yourself a BMMCC instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 GoPro is dying. I bet my money on Xiaomi on putting the Final nail on the coffin. Considering the abyssal level of innovator at GoPro, they probably deserve it. Sad for the investors and shareholders. Pavel Mašek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbellick Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yeah, if you get into m4/3 size then why would you use a GoPro? By the way, original accessories are coming out: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Original-Xiaomi-YI-Waterproof-Case---Floating-Grip-for-Xiaomi-YI-4K-Action-Camera-2-366895.html This one is $47.99 for Waterproof Case + Floating Grip.

bradbellick Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've to agree with sanveer, looks like the GoPro has to get some grading in post to look good. The Yi on the other side already looks good and is much more stable. Some real photos: vaga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobba Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Is 4K limited to 30P only (i.e. no 24/45P) ? Jaime Valles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPStewart Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The stabilization is nice...but the GoPro still appears to have greater dynamic range and more gradable color. That still makes a HUGE difference if your footage needs to be cut against footage from other cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, both of them don't have very sharp lenses, for stills. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
