Plan to buy a xiaomi but saw many other forum users complained the camera is bricked after firmware update. Want to ask all owners.......
Can I just update the xiaoyi android apps, and keep using the old firmware?
So far I never encounter any case of camera bricked after firmware update. As long as u ensure your memory card have enough space and full battery, it should be good.
Of course u can use the old firmware, but your output might not be good and cant connect with the bluetooth shutter (compatible on firmware V1.1 above).

When using waterproof casing, video sound will impaired. Unless u dont want sound on ur video then that's fine. And most importantly, using waterproof case must use "dry pad" (i dont know what it call) to absorb the moist, or the casing will have fog. So using waterproof casing all the time is not a good idea.
you're right also bro.
But depends on individual usage la.. for me i will just keep my cam in the casing all the time to protect my baby.
pm mari, haha how is the built quality compare to previous. i got the 1st version of casing, but my button haven crack LEL
Please check PM bro.
The built quality is better than previous version. The button is very solid. Confirm no button issue anymore.
According to some user review in China. The new version got better water resistance, when u splash water on the casing, water will drop down faster so that it wont block the Lens. I haven't try it out thou.
Other than that everything is the same. Still Great Piece of Product as compared to OEM one.
Just spend abit more to get a Original one. Guaranteed Worth It!
Here is the comparison video I would like to share.

Yes, I did do checking using my home's bathtub as the pool. It has totally no problem at all when I was using them on beach and some scuba diving.
I does damage my camera, it cant charge nor start up. Anyway, Its my bad luck la. I dont think the seller will layan me. .... Sad....
Start to notify the leak in from 15m, didnt turn it off fast enough to prevent damage as I am just a novice diver struggling to keep my balance under the sea.
Think twice between buying a third party casing

Oh ya! Forgot ald...Thx bro for information Anyone own the Xiaomi Yi monopod? The selfie stick should have 5 layers long. I only can open 3 layers. I have opened 5 layers for once, then cannot ald
I got 1 client have similar issue.
Solution: Spray some lubricant oil and allow it to flow into the "stucked" layer. Problem solved. Peace
