i set the camera metering to 'spot' metering.
then set timelapse interval to 5sec.
then shoot

usually in 30 min timelapse with the wifi turned on will bring the battery from 100% to about 30% very quick.
just prepare powerbank should be fine

oic! thanks
anyway why do we have to set the metering to 'spot' ?

haha. i always have my powerbank with me. no worry.

ya me too... isit direct use the xiaomi apps to take this?

oh no
not necessarily.
only that im shooting during sunrise, there will be difference in exposure by alot.
center metering / spot metering is a great choice during sunrise/sunset shots (depends on how u compose).

if choose matrix metering , image might be underexpose.
just my 2 cents

yep u can take with xiaomi app
only that timelapse need post processing.
u can just simply install Google's Picasa on ur windows, import and make timelapse in no time

thanks for sharing....
maybe can organize a xiaomi yi club outdating to do timelapse shooting hahahha

Anywhere u can recommend me to get this Yi camera ?
The cheapest and can cover warranty too

nice dude. this is breathtaking

actually lazada quite alot seller selling with 1 year local warranty

Button ah? Very nice eh. Not hard at all and kindy spongy feeling.

aiks....
i just realized taking video in water proof casing totally block the sound!!!

no sound recording in my video....

this is normal. even for gopro is the same

so if u wan to record sound then better buy a case with opening behind or do it without a case

bring my dog for a swim today and filming it at 120p and slowmo it.

Just stumbled upon this thread!

Greetings to all the Xiao Yi camera owners!

I got a tip to share, if you guys are looking for a tripod, can go to Daiso and get the tripod, it fits perfectly to the camera.

that would be nice.
can also organize for TT. i can help with post production for the simple ways & advance for editing

thanks man.
got a few more, but didnt upload on youtube thou

i thought when shooting at 120fps there wouldnt be live view.
how would u nicely frame the video ? great

yeah. need u to share your skill set

just bought this item from lazada. now waiting

Testing my friend's yicamera, found 1 cons that i really dont like - the screw is too shallow, so when using tripod it can't lock firmly. Even my monopod also cant fit perfectly.

Other than that, really great device for money !
