First reviews of the Gopro killer Yi 4K camera are in and they are stellar

The Yi 4K action camera has been out for a while now and reviews are starting to reel in. We seen quite a few of them (and we will have one of our own soon), but this one review got us thinking that the YI 4K is indeed a gopro killer.

This review from Techmoan has a full breakdown of the camera features, its interface and quite a few sample movies. But before going into the actual comparisson, here is a bit of a price comparisson. On Amazon the Yi 4k is $249. It’s Gopro equivalent (at least spec-wise), which is the Hero4 Black edition is $320. Now, ia $70 (or 20%) enough to sway people from the GoPro brand? Time will tell. At least specs and samples wise looks like we have a real competition.

Red Bull’s 360° ‘Tiny World’ Surf Video Tries to Redefine ‘The Future Of Extreme Footage’

These “Tiny World” GoPro videos seem to pop out of nowhere from time to time, and we love them because up till a few years a go you needed to be a big agency with a ton of budget to make one, but now, it is just a few gopros. Red Bull however took this whole trend to the next level by capturing one of their athletes surfing in 360°.

As it is explained on Red Bull’s website, the camera crew strapped a meter long pole to the athlete’s body (because putting the 4 GoPro cameras on his helmet would both fail to capture his face and the entire bottom would be his body). The final result is one of the best-executed “Tiny World” videos I’ve ever seen.
