Recently released and well reviewed by CNET. Double the resolution of Hero5 Black.

First Action Cam on Market to use the new Ambarella H2 SoC.

Saw this in their weekly mass email newsletter (coupon code: YI4KPD). Im not really into Action Cams but im sure some of you are

Lower than MSRP (of $339.98 directly from Yi with only waterproof case), $325.99 after coupon code

Here's official Xiaoyi Specs / Product Page: https://www.yitechnology.com/yi-4k-plus-action-camera

*nb. Some people have expressed problems with shipping with Geekbuying in the past. So search other threads and makeup your own mind if you want this or not.

Half of the neat features (voice control, live streaming) are "available soon via firmware update" - hopefully they're trustworthy to deliver on that update. :)

True, however unlike most China manufacturers that leave their products to die after they've released, Xiaomi / Xiaoyi are pretty good at keeping their promises.

Nope im not planning to buy this. Super expensive & Im not active enough to have any use for High end Action Cams.

Just passing on the info from the newsletter, as it's lower than msrp (if you take into account the accessories)

For the uninitiated, this is basically a Chinese GoPro 6. It contains newer and more powerful versions of the same SOC and image sensor (Ambarella, Sony) GoPro uses and will probably end up in September's GoPro 6 refresh. It contains new and better features than the GoPro 5 including double the bitrate and fps (not resolution) for 4K recording (4K60 @120MBps, vs 4K30 @60Mbps for the GoPro 5) as a result of the newer and more powerful chipsets.

Here's a good comparison of the GPH5B/GPH5S/Yi 4K (old version, not the 4K+)
