Action Camera Deals & Offers

;( A shame, I just finished watching a review and was gonna have a go at that price.

Some chancer bought 8 and another bought 10 - Out of stock now.

Do you mean something like a Tiny Planet? You could manage to pull it off given it is technically a 360 camera however, it only has a single lens, so it cannot see everything. As you can see in this image, it cannot see below itself. If you manage to suspend the camera above the ground or have a drone that can lift ~130g, you could manage. The quality won't be great, but it's doable.

Is that one of those attachments that makes the Earth look spherical?

Yup very down to what the individual needs. Yi lite is debateably the best budget action cam there is. Great features for the price. For about 5 mins they were going for 25 quid on prime day.... gutted I missed it! On the other hand, someone who wants to use it on the beach would probably benefit from the Hero 2018 to resist sand and water. Someone who wants to wear it on a helmet would probably benefit from the Hero session design. Etc etc Really isn't a simple answer with this as it's down to the uses it'll be put to and the price someone's willing to pay.

Hate fisheye effect and on the new gopro you can change it

Not disagreeing with anything you just said... for both my original yi and the lite , when i wasn't going in water i just put them in aluminium cases (few quid off *insert your preferred Chinese go to site for cheap stuff*) while not for everyone one thing that made a big difference for me between the yi's/ go pro hero is you can time lapse video on the yis , go pros you have to import all the stills and stitch them together . But to be honest and i'm sure people will disagree for the majority of times a regular user doesn't really need anything above 1080 so the camera that gives the most features for that would be the one to go for versus ease of use

I'd extend waterproof to general robustness as well. The YI cams need the case really if you're in a dusty or wet environment, or if the camera is likely to get knocked much. The Go Pro Hero 2018 is much better in this regard. Also the Go Pro is easier to use in termsof menus etc, although Yi isn't bad by any means. However the Yi cams both offer better image quality than the Hero 2018, particularly the Yi 4k which is really strong. The Hero 2018 is the budget go pro and it's quite evident with the 1440p limit, no slow mo, noisy photos etc. However be aware that point 1 can impact point 2. If for your given activity you're going to need the Yi in a case, that will impact image quality (slightly), sound quality (majorly) and usability (majorly).

yeah my plan would be for surfing/paddleboarding etc.. it seems as though you cant use the screen when in the case, which is kinda against the point of it.. Waterproof up to 132 feet underwater. Withstands up to -22° F temperature and resistant to high water pressure. Case uses hard backdoor and does not support touchscreen. Select "In Housing Mode" in System Settings to switch camera/ video modes easily with shutter button.

Got mine

Mine cancelled. Amazon suck.

Here you go (y)

Nope I had prime next day and it got binned.

Yes mine cancelled too. I did go for no rush so sort of expected that. The ones that went prime next day probably slipped through the next :)

Not available for home delivery 😥 also not available in my home store ;(

True. Just google it.

That’s great, but they don’t make it anymore and everyone else doesn’t seem to have stock and those that do want £200.

I’ve got the hero 5 session, taken it on holiday snorkelling/ diving and the image quality is fantastic. Batteries not been a problem either as it can be charged via a power bank.

this a great deal and if you get one know that these are excallty the same hardware as the hero5 just some features have been blocked by firware but someone has already manged to load the hero5 firmware onto it and unlocked it. wont be long before this becomes easy for anyone to do.

What's the mic audio recording like? I have a Hero (2014) and it sucks compared to my Yi Camera. I would love to buy a new Hero and this looks great. Check out my test comparing audio recording. The iPhone is best, Yi, then Hero last :(

Yes its great for all of that.

Yes this would be fine. The advantage here is it's robust and waterproof, so you can take it to the sea etc, where more expensive cameras and phones would have to stay home. The disadvantage is image quality. Odds are if you have a modern high end phone (e.g. an iPhone 8 or Samsung S8 or higher) then you may find image quality is actually better on the phone.

so this one would be ok ? or would another model be better ?

AdrianVaughan, iv a hero 5 and I use it on hols and videoing etc, great piece of ki

Don't know Screen hot and added to the feed

I used a 22 mm drill bit in my sds drill

Ah, just realized I was in a recoding when I done this and that's why the time line appeared. On the timeline you can only select the orange sections to view which are alerts. So to revisit and answer the question correctly , No I don't think you can rewind the live feed (embarrassed)

In using android phone, when I click on the live feed the video just zooms in.

It should be able to go through the window and close fine. Depending on the way your pvc window is fitted, they may be some pvc stripes fitted to finish off edging around the window. I would try to use these as routes in. Personal I wouldn't drill holes to big through the actually window. With the junction box I would roll up the lead to the camrea inside the junction box make it look neat and out the way. Sadly I have no video for you to follow.

Well.. these are correct observations, also manufacturers trying to sell numbers and new design since Henry Ford, only because newer is better, etc. It is not necessarily the point regarding action cameras. For me personally this is a product with small footprint and few sacrifices had to be made. Decent 2.7k is more desirable vs fragile DSL size device, or over complicated features.

Ok thanks

They're quite different devices, the Yi 4K has the advantage of replaceable batteries and a usable interface on the device itself but it's extremely fragile (mine shattered from a short fall) and the dive case it needs for use a gopro mount and weather sealing is bulky and fiddly to use. I've got both and generally prefer the Sessions for their much smaller size and weight which makes them easier to mount.

Lots of factors. Sensor size, sensor quality, model of processing chip, lens quality, etc. Unless you're familiar with the components, the best bet is to read a review on a specialist photography site like DP Review (general tech sites like TechRadar aren't very good).

What does?
