I"ve been following Yi for a while now after a few trips to China. It's an amazing product for sure and I'm a big GoPro guy and live in San Diego. This Yi 4k plus is BADASS.
Much appreciated on the review. Ended up snagging one of these and so far I couldnt be happier. Thank you!
Was looking forward to this review! Enjoyed the longer in-depth video!
Thanks for posting this! That footage of the lodge and sun overhead is just insane, awesome scenes. Driving through the mountains looked awesome too!
This is by far one of the best channel to help grow a UA-cam channel. I have over 2k subscribers all thanks to you, Sean. You deserve over a millions subscribers, Sir. Much love from Florida =)
Amazing Video!
I really wish there were more reviewers like you. Your video was prompt, covered each and every point about the product. And made me reach a buying call. I was looking for a budget action cam for my cycling and a little other adventures...also shooting kids and all!! And was super confused between going for gopro hero 6 or yi4k.
I believe this will solve all my purpose!!! No one anywhere mentioned that even Yi app has quick edit feature....
Great review! Thanks
Just stopping by to congratulate you on all the success. I started watching you almost from the start and now I see your channel has grown a lot! Good stuff!
Excellent review. I just purchased the camera thanks to you. I can't wait!
Hii! Thank you so much for your review. So helpful!!
I have a question, Is it possible to plug external mic by using adapter cable and put it on the usb port in that camera?
Love the videos and reviews man, plus i really love the poster behind you "if you never want to be criticized, dont do anything new". thanks again for the reviews and keep it up!
Damn, this was one of the best reviews ever on a camera. Dude I have to sub
Thanks for this great review, keep up the good work!
Was looking at getting a 4k camera without breaking the bank. This review really helped. I'm sold. I live in Las Vegas and those shots of Lee Canyon in snow were great.
Yay another review, love the videos Sean
Awesome little camera. Have been using it way before it was even officially released and it works great!
instaBlaster.
Hey great video it helped me a lot on deciding what camera to buy. i loved the video 👍
I use my Yi 4k more than my Hero 5. That touchscreen is the best. The UI is perfect. My FAVORITE feature is the SLOW MOTION SETTING. No shooting, upload and edit. It's all right there. Definitely, getting the Yi 4K Plus.
Right!?! I agree the UI is amazing. And the footage and features are solid!
THiNK Media TV I'm definitely going to be considering this now! Thank you.
Tentative Dan I'd hold off till the Yi 4k PLUS is coming out the 28th. USB type C and 4k at 60 fps. Also, a couple lil updates too.
James Ebenger wow thanks! Saved me a little regret lol. Thank you for the info :) I appreciate it.
James Ebenger have you got the app for your phone it's amazing for leaving the camera set up for a time lapse and checking in later.
Great informative video!
nice video...keep it up...your channel is growing really fast...good job
Thanks for the sincere video. I am making a decision in which one to buy, either the YI 4K or the 4K+, I don't think I need the 60fps for 4k video. But having the ability to connect and external Bluetooth mic, or having voice control commands are very important to me in an action camera. Do you know if the YI 4K supports now the possibility to connect a mic or supports voice command with a firmware upgrade?
I own this camera and used it on some of my videos. When I am not using it the battery never dies. The last time I charged it was before Christmas 😃
Hi! Thanks once more for such a great communication, great! Is this better than the thiEye? Yes I saw your video on the thiEye!... Isn't the sound and image better? I'm in between those two! Please reply! Thanks
im liking this camera. would this fit in the regular gimble?
Great review Sean! Thanks for all the hard work. I was wonder about rolling shutter on this camera. I have used the Hero 4 for a motorcycle video I did and the footage was almost unusable. The wobble and distortion was distracting. Did you notice rolling shutter in this Yi 4K? Thanks again.
OK, I'm sold. What (best budget both option pls) hand held gimbal would you recommend for XIAOMI YI 4K? EVO GP-PRO seems to be above my budget
I bought one yesterday. Thanks for the info!!
Hey Sean, great video! how do you compare this with the ThiEYE T5e that you have reviewed in the past?
his videos get me motivated to put as much work as I can into my new UA-cam channel.
What do you edit the footage on? What is the best budget, easy to use software?
Wonderful video/review where can I find the mount that you said u had to buy seperate that fits on the bottom of the water proof case
Great review. Thanks!
Thanks for the comprehensive review ! I think I'm going to get this camera, but I'm also looking at the SJCAM SJ7 which has similar features but is a bit cheaper and comes with accessories such as a waterproof housing.
great vid. What depth is there water proof case rated at?
Thank you for the info
I have the regular Yi action cam that does 1080p. It's really good. Thinking about upgrading to the 4K version soon. Good review.
Hi, what video standard do u use? NTSC or PAL? Is there a YT best to use?
Hello I just got this camera what would you say is the best all around settings for the outside for fishing? Thanks
What camera do you use to shoot your videos. Like this one.
Great review!!
Hi Sean. Thumbs up for your reviews!! I'd like to know if you've used a polarisation filter or manual color grading in the post processing @4:20 and 5:56... The sky looks awesome and the colors are strong, a lot stronger compared to the most yi4k videos I've seen so far.
Thx in advance
What would be a good solution for a microphone to capture audio for the yk ? Since no cable option ? Thanks 🙏
LOOKS GREAT, THANK YOU FOR THIS MATE.
Thanks for helping me make up my mind! I'm going to purchase the yi 4k because of the price and near go pro hero5 quality
Does it focus on detail? like for example if you focused on your hand will it show all the lines & stuff on the palm of your hand?
Thank you for this review, I am looking for another action camera to replace my Apeman which no longer works properly, and I am going with the Yi 4K Action. At this point in time, July 2019, it is on Amazon for $98, while the 4K+ is twice that, $199. For me, the only real advantage I see with the 4K+ is 4k/60FPS, which really is not worth double the price for me. I am not professional, I just do homegrown YT videos, and if I want to do slo-mo stuff I can always use 1080/120FPS, I would be fine with that. Good review, I like your approach, just subscribed!
yes Sean! I've been waiting my whole life for this review to come out!! (just an exaggeration)
I am awaiting the release of the 4k plus which is due in ten days. Hoping to get it nice and early as I live in China so hopefully will get early shipping. it has the advantage of USB C, external MIC and stabilized 4K. Great vid as per usual!!
great video sean!
Best coverage of this camera I've seen yet.
Thank you for the wonderful review. Already bought mine this month and it is and awesome action cam. But can you help me by recommending a budget phone or tablet for video editing app, like the kinemaster app? Coz my phone only capable on 720p in import and export using the kinemaster app from the yi 4k footage. Looking for a budget phone or tablet that can import and export 1080p or higher. No budget for laptops. Want to improve my content.
You mention the extra tripod mount for attaching to waterproof case, is that included in the Kupton accessory pack? If not, do you have a link? Great review!
Hi Sean, Great review and thanks. Hey some refer to it as the Yi two, on ebay I can only find Yi 4k. Can we assume it's the same thing? I don't want to buy some old first gen dog. Thanks mate .... from sunny Australia
Great video
Please please just have look here and reply me . My question is, how is the focusing feature for closeup shot. Im looking for vlogging like sitting in room and want to make videos. So this camera will help to make close up shoot with better face focus or not???
Care to share your yi 4k recording settings? Also: do you sharpen in post (and how?) I hear having it at low in cam is best? Unsharp mask? Or perhaps sharpen with denoiser 3? Keep up the good work!
How long does the battery last in cold like skiing? I can hit the slope with a fully charged Hero 4, turn it on 2 hours later (so it's at ambient temp) and only get about 15 minutes recording time when the temp is below 15 degreesF
can we use the hdmi out for external monitoring or external hardware recording?
Do the software works as good.on mac as it does on the pc or is it better for one or the other
Looks great!
sean are you thinking this action camera is be able to vlogging?
because i want to buy it but i still not sure.
hope you can reply this comment and give me the answer. thankyou :D
Hey Sean, Any idea how to use an external mic with Yi 4K? Heard the external thing only comes with plus version? Is it true? Thanks!
How funny I've been following your videos for a while now and it got me by surprise that you actually went to where I work at montage laguna beach, it would haved been a pleasure to meet you 😀
vs hero 5 ? Which one would you pick considering the gopro hero 5 is 300 and the yi 4k is 170 us dollars ?
hi what camera you used for this video? canon 80d?
Thanx for video I want to buy this camera soon but main question
Q.What Best Micro SD 128 for 4K recording on that camera????
If possible drop the link to amazon
Thanks
I have a question what is the view like on the screen out in the sun thanks like your reports just starting to try and get a grip on action camera
wow your work it bloody great!
I agree =)
Exploring with Stewarts it is excellent right?!
hi there, I am trying to buy an action camera on a budget and looks like this is a very good option, I will be using this camera on a motorcycle helmet, the questions is if this camera has some time of remote control where I could stop recording and start the recording without touching the camera. thanks in advance for your reply.
whats it record on to memeory card? whens the yi 4k plus coming out? 3 axis gimble wheres that from and what make?
Hello !
Can this camera(not yi 4kplus version) shoot raw format photo ?
Thanks !
Where can I purchase the "tripod mount screw" for the waterproof case to attach to the selfie stick? (it's the only link of gadgets that isn't in tour description)
Very informative video, you've help me decide to purchase this camera along with its gadgets rather than the go pro, which saved me some $$$.
I know you have done a camera review about the thieye camera how does this compare to that and could I use go pro mounts
Here's a question. What is the real capabilities of the processor. Is this thing up-scaling footage from HD? Is the frame rate, legit. Meaning slow motion etc. Is it fame accurate? Or is doubling up frames?
Thank you so much. I am going to buy this. How can I put it on a helmet?
great 🎥 dude I love u
Trying to get 24 to 48 on sample and bit rate. Would running at 1080p at 30fps or 60fps work for me?
Does the Newmow 3-Channel battery charger work for gopro batteries as well?
Aww man, I see videos for this camera not even 2 months after buying a Gopro. :( Footage looks awesome too.
I would like to know what kinda of mic is compatible to record exhaust videos. I have one of these thanks
does this support loop recording so that this can double up as a dash cam?
I went sledding today, and wanted to use a action camera! It would be so cool to have one!
Just subscribed to channel and just purchased to 4k plus. I'm using for vlig for business for budget. What is best settings for this thanks
Does the camera lose the settings and time and date when you change out batteries?
Cool one, Sean
Is this a good camera for onboard motorcycle footage?
can we record/capture on mobile app?
How does it stack up vs SJCAM SJ7 Star or Firefly 8S?
for the price I don't think you can beat it. When I was looking for a budget action camera I stumbled upon this video. I purchased the yi 4k once I had enough and I've been really happy with it.
Is there an external mic you can buy?
How do you rotate the YI lite image, I can't do that on the app. All the gopro accessories are upside down. I bought this camera because of your reviews. Help please!!!
wow dang looks amazing! audio sounds better than gopro
battery backup is essential for me in action cameras 😊
I feel you do a pretty good review! I'm getting tired of the gopro products, because they seem to record out of sync with the audio, the picture quality of the video is terrible in low light conditions as I'm seeing in comparison with new cameras these days. I'm still in the dino era of these cameras. I still have a couple of gopro hero 3's. I can't stand the offset of the audio and video syncs. And for xmas, my wife got me a gopro session, it's not the 4k version, but it's a terrible camera also. I can't seem to delete any pictures or videos on the fly, I basically have to get home on my computer and delete or review. And sometimes when I mean to just touch the button and start recording with the session, apparently, I must've accidentally, and not knowingly touched the only button besides the small button on the back, and it set the camera to take still pictures rather than record a video. And then when I get home to my computer, I will realize that I don't have videos, and it's just one picture. I can't stand this camera now. I do like the compact size of the gopro but, I don't really mind a camera that's larger in size. I just want a decent priced camera that will do it's job correctly. I'm not a techy guy as I think I am. Others seem to know more about tech stuff. Also, I can't seem to wifi connect with my gopro to my phone at all. I have a profile account. I'm able to bring up the app on my computer, but not my phone with gopro. So, I will prolly look into this YI 4K camera. It seems to have more features than my session. I just would like 4K quality. Not interested in the slow motion just yet. I basically ride a motorcycle everyday to work and back and would like to get good picture quality in case of an incident, to protect myself legally. Anyhow, thanks for the good review.
Best setting in Yi 4k for post video editing?
Where can the tripod mount be purchased for the selfie stick?
I started a tech channel I use canon 1200d .it does not have auto focus.can I use this action camera to review tech products. suggestions would be helpful
very nice thx
I'm in 2020 now and is this camera still good now?
Hey, which SD card would you recommend for recording 4K videos?
Pranav Pawar I just ordered the camera and a micro sd that comes with an adapter. Per the recommendations, order the SanDisk Extreme 64GBSDXC.
Do not order the 128 as it is not compatible. I am going to mess around with the set before I buy any additional accessories. I got the camera for $185 and the SD for $32 from Amazon.
I'm a guy who already owns 5 different action cams.
I have to admit, the video quality from this Yi camera looked very good in this video.
Yes, impressive.
In late 2016 I bought myself a 4K action cam, it was only $80.
As you can guess, the video image looks pretty crappy, no doubt a low quality sensor.
Next time I am buying an action cam, I'll keep the Yi 4K in mind, your video review swayed me in that direction.
