Re: A go-pro copy that may be better than real go-proThis looks to be a pretty interesting camera. But looking deeper there are some tradeoffs that need to be considered.
The Yi does not come with a waterproof case (extra) and the mount system is proprietary meaning that it will not work in the GoPro eco-system. The Yi Action Camera is the notoriously limited availability of Xiaomi's products. The Yi Action Camera is currently available only in the Chinese market Priced at $65 USD this camera is aimed at the entry level GoPro Hero $130 USD. Both cameras have built-in Wi-Fi for file transfers and remote control, and also have similar battery capacity. The Yi Action Camera is powered by an Ambarella A7LS image processor and Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R BSI CMOS image sensor, which enables it to shoot photos at 16 megapixels and record 1080p video at 60fps. This is the same chipset that GoPro used for their 3 series cameras. The GoPro Hero does has a 170 degrees viewing angle vs the Yi Action Camera's 155 degrees, The real test will be to see what the image quality looks like. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast.
