What customers say about "Size & Weight"

YI 4K+

The size is astonishing - it is tiny and would easily fit in your pocket - i have seen bigger key fobs.
In summary better performance than you know who, perfect size in case and saves a bit of money.
Easy to setup. Suprised me by how small it actually is. Housing is amazing seems to be well made.
I am a normal user and never got interesting about recording and taking photos. But as soon as i bought this camera, i realize how much you can do with such a small device.
Size is very convinient to hold and make a good photo. Also waterproof and good design.

What customers say about "Display"

YI 4K+

The touch screen is easy to negotiate and very sensitive, with good sized targets for clumsy fingers like mine.
The easy to use screen and menu plus the EIS with 4k video was my main reason for upgrading.
Great image quality. Very easy to use menu and touch screen. Clear photos.
As far as I know this is the best action camera available right now, both in image quality and in ease of use (battery, screen, controls, etc). I'm super pleased.
Superb screen with decent viewing angles. Large, bright and easy to use.

What customers say about "Video"

GoPro Hero5 Black Action Camera

The video was crisp and clear, the new generation of this GoPro is getting better.
Takes fantastic slow motion video. Image stabilization works very well in canceling small vibrations out.

YI 4K+

It as a wide range of video modes and a excellent 4k 60fps video mode.
I thought about getting the normal 4k or even a much cheaper action camera. I bought this mainly because of the 60fps at 4k.
Video quality great with great saturation in its colours. Highly recommend.
The video quality is reasonable and acceptable for online publishing.
Not bad for its price. Image and video quality is standard but nothing special.

What customers say about "Features"

YI 4K+

People complain about having to use a housing for the water proofing but remember this is a 40m dive housing. It doesn't bother me taking the 10seconds to place it in there.
The housing mode allows easy switch between shooting modes while still seeing the screen and using it under water.
So, build quality is very good. It doesn't feel like one of the cheaper action camera's at all. It comes with waterproof case.
The product already comes with a fully closed case, which makes it easy to use as soon as possible.
Waterpoof case is so good for me, i very like to swimm with camera. So happy!
