No wire cut needed. The hardest part is to open the front cover. After than just put a piece of plastic as an insulator and you are done. Good luck.

I did a 70 minute continuous recording.. files are broken up into 5 minutes and an extra short low resolution video which I deleted off.  I was using a Kingma 1100ma battery and there was still still power left after that.  In fact I did a 15 minute recording prior to that..  Each file is 0.5GB

What i did was join them using a free software - Avidemux.

wow that was quite long. the battery i used was bought from ebay. consider no brand battery; 3.7 1010mA only can last about 55min. bought 2 and 1 totally down.

i did not check all video cz was testing on battery. 1920x1080 60p was clear n smooth. 10 min 35 sec file was 1.99GB

Hey guys! tomorrow is holiday! Happy Deepavali in advance!

BTW, I last week i went SOJU and recorded some videos using 1080 24 fps the result is good. but one thing is that the sound is breaking up badly! it is because the sound is too loud? How to get a good quality of sound?

I do not know how to upload video here.. lol

Here's a tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-107236-1-1.html

Does the yi always split up videos after 2gb is reach? I've tried recording in 60fps and 48fps 1080p but it'll still split it into a few videos. All videos are around 2gb in size.

EDIT: Quick search and found out that this is a common problem. Something to do with Fat32's 2gb cap
*
im having this problem also. after 10min it will split. i asked i think they didnt reply me. probably i think that fat32's thingy.. recording in 48fps get choppy right? Recently, i used it for water rafting is Padas, KK! It was so clear and great! just the battery couldnt last long enough! sad.gif

I just ordered 2 extra batteries (Telesin 1010mah) from aliexpress. Used to carry powerbank to charge it. I found that it's very troublesome to takeout from the waterproof case and whatnot.
