Yi 4K Action Camera

 

When it comes to action cameras, GoPro undeniably leads the pack. The company's cameras are so well known that "GoPro" potentially risks becoming a generic term. However, there are plenty of alternatives out there that give GoPro's Hero cameras a...

Yi 4K Action Camera review

 

A 4K action camera at a cheap price

Detailed 4K video at 30fps for two hours ; Smooth 1080p at 120fps ; Weighs just 94g ; Bigger touchscreen than a GoPro ; 155° wide-angle lens

No voice activated controls or GPS ; Too easy to switch on and off accidentally ; Can't shoot stills in raw format ; Image stabilization could be better ; Only waterproof with additional housing

Can Yi's latest challenge GoPro? This well constructed POV cam has the same 4K 30fps video and 12MP stills capabilities as a GoPro Hero5 Black, yet has a bigger touchscreen and a lower price. There's no voice control, but aside from that the Yi 4K is a...

YI 4K Action Camera review

 

GoPro might be the undisputed leader in the action cam market, but its cameras are not without weaknesses. The greatest of those at the moment is age: GoPro's top Hero4 Black camera was released nearly two years ago.

The YI 4K Action Camera is a remarkable camera for the money, offering great features and performance in an easy-to-use package. It has long battery life for its size. A touchscreen gives you full control of the camera or you can use the high-speed...

You'll need to buy accessories such as a waterproof housing. Though YI used Gorilla Glass, the touchscreen is not shatterproof. The microSD card slot is a little hard to access. Parts of the English app are still in Chinese.

An action cam with a lot of features, excellent video quality and a more affordable price, the YI 4K is undeniably a good deal.

A follow-up to its surprisingly good sub-$100, full-HD action cam, the YI 4K might just be the best budget camera you can buy.
