the one u bought is what zapbalang brand?
maybe wait till the ori case have lens filter then u can use as well?  rolleyes.gif

most likely got to wait since i won't go any diving for this year.
conclusion:
yi ori casing lens = round
my zapbalang brand = round
telesin = round
kingma = square

what else brand for casing in the market now that I missed out? cool2.gif

last Saturday helping my fren look for red filter for gopro 3 at 1utama, pwtc (dive fair) and lowyat. sweat.gif
The cheapest i can find is around 100 (again zapbalang brand).
those well-known third party also cost 120 above. if original gopro cost more than that.
anyway just a plastic cover, don know why selling so expensive. vmad.gif

wow.. i think my zapbanglang brand was reviewed by him too. The second casing.
like what he had commented:
"The camera fits well into the case and it is very hard to get it out again. The cap easily detaches from the metal bar. I noticed that it is sealed, but there is a larger gap on one side of the case, which could or should be tighter (last photo)."
But I didn't notice any vignetting problem. later go home double check again. hmm.gif

looks like 1.2 hardware firmware got alot of issues reported. Better stay away first. whistling.gif
btw, android app got v1.8 updates. just check the app it prompt out updates. I guess it should be accomodate for 16:9 photo for the latest 1.2 firmware. cool2.gif

Hey guys, just sold my hero 4 silver a few weeks back. Am now looking at the yi camera as a cheaper alternative.

Where do I get the best deal for this camera aside from lazada?
RM299-30 voucher, RM269 from dasher.

Will order mounts and accessories later from alliexpress later.  nod.gif

EDIT: RM254 from 11st after 11% coupon from dasher. Is this a good deal?

why downgrade? gopro not good? hmm.gif
