Hello guys, I decided to open this thread as I have not found any thread regarding the discussion of the Xiaoyi Sports Camera.

I've just got mine and these are my first impressions:

Price
- Well, as I stay/live/work in China, I got mine at RMB600 for the entire travel package. That's about RM360.
how come TS bought at RMB600? official price for travel edition is only RMB499 as stated in CN official website.

It's very excited to have my Xiaomi yi camera today rclxm9.gif
As I gopro hero 3+ user, this yi camera has done fantastic job.

First thing trying to open the batter cover but very hard to open compare to gopro
The wifi button response faster than gopro as compared. Bcos yi just light press and gopro need 2 sec.
Although yi camera don't have the small LED screen to indicate battery percentage but it still can tell by the color of the LED ring. But the con is difficult to tell when u want to switching mode shakehead.gif however, there are 3 indicators from top, bottom and side will light on with red color which telling it's on video mode now.
The battery left 25% the moment I unbox, manage to play like 20 mins with photo and video testing. So can't really test how lasting is it.
In term off app, Just downloaded the app and manage to play a while. The app quite similar to gopro app. The photo and video can preview from app. But I find out there is no delete function for video. Don know why hmm.gif maybe u guys can tell.

Alright time to sleep, will continue explore more tomorrow. icon_rolleyes.gif

this third party case can seal properly when its empty.
once put in the camera looks like cannot close properly specially on the top right.
water seem can be leak in from there..
will try water test tonight. but worry camera kena water if really cannot seal properly... ohmy.gif

but i think it definitely cannot use for diving, will try to get ori case for diving once it available in the market.

Here are some of tests on the 3rd party housing

Test 1:
I put some old newspapers into the housing.(try to simulate it like the camera, if paper get wet which mean housing got water leak). After that, i rinse the housing from different angle with tap water. Meanwhile, try to press each button to check whether could leak or not.
the test result is showing newspaper inside still dry.

Test 2:
The second test is to simulate whether the housing could use for diving activities.
Same way apply to test 1. But this round soak the housing into a bucket of water. (Put something heavy on top of it to prevent it floating up).
Leave it overnight till next morning.
The result same as test 1.

Ps. Still not yet using actual camera to do test. tongue.gif

did u install latest yicam app on ur phone?
if u did , then when u connect to the cam, you can open the app setting and check firmware update.
if got update, it will download and install on ur cam.

if u did not install latest yicam app, pls go and install first because its easier this way.

alright!
i should be having latest apps update. let me try later.
thanks! thumbup.gif

talking about out of focus, not sure mine having the problem.
And I think no one has sharing the video for low light especially captured video during nite time. So here I share one of my clip captured during viper night challenge rolleyes.gif this video recorded using 720p 48 (need to click the setting to 720 else it will default to SD base on your connection). One thing the video show abit blur maybe due to i forgot to remove the plastic protector on the waterproof case doh.gif
