YI Action Camera for $69
Yi Gimbal
So has anybody refocused one of these lenses so it can shoot macro? I need a small macro camera to stick down a hole and wan to know if this will do the trick before I buy one. Thanks
I had a tough day out filming with it today ;-)
True true, at least it got smaller, and not larger. So very small amount of padding might make it work.
Hmmm.... tricky tricky, go for International version (costs more too!) or the original standard version.
Now I can't use the international Xiaomi Yi in 3D printed designs for a 360 video rig like I'd planned to do
Why not edit slightly this designs? Or just add some small padding (as size is smaller).
From banggood:
Black/international 60.4mm×42mm×21.2mm
Xiaomi "STD" Z23 61 x 22 x 42 mm
They're different??? That is INSANE :-(

About to buy more.... about half a dozen Xiaomi Yi cameras, I know there are a few slight variations of XiaoMi Yi which are out now, and as it is very important I get six identical ones (because will be used for 360 video) am wondering which is the best Xiaomi Yi camera variant to go with?
Xiao Yi are targeting users who want to keep video evidence of their road trips
Well, not so bad :-)
Camera comes with a wide 165 degree lens, and a larger F1.8 aperture
Such things are popular in China and Russia. Features are pretty standard. Mine older one also shoots more than 1080p and has very wide lens.
Version 2 is announced: http://www.gizchina.com/2015/11/23/2nd-geo-xiao-yi-camera-gets-driver-specific-adas-features/
Just my luck.... had only recently (hasn't even arrived yet!) purchased a Xiaomi Yi and a new one gets announced at an even lower price than I paid!
I haven't bought a drone yet, but this is interesting
Can add myself to the list of owners! Got one from Banggood during the 11/11 sale.
And yes mrbill, I plan on using this on my drone.
Anybody using a gimbal (like the lanparte go pro one) successfully with this camera?
I just found out it's the same sensor as the gopro3 - that makes me want to buy even more of them. Love to have a pro tune type codec on these little fellers
Im going to use it for stills (RAW) on drone when need it
Extended batteries, lcd backpacks and waterproof cases to house these larger dimensions just released...

With this firmware and a Samsung 95mbs 64gb card, I'm finally getting results. The root of the problem seemed to be my Sandisk 95mbs 64gb card - I would advise avoiding
I can't seem to find a stable high bit rate for this camera. I'd like to use it for long unattended shooting, but any more than 4 clips, and new footage is corrupt. Bit rate also decreases for each clip. I'm using a fast Sandisk 64gb card. Any help would be much appreciated - it's a 22 serial number.
New firmware
Stock bitrate for 2K is poor - 15Mbps. FHD at High Quality 15-25Mbps, as far as I can remember...
