This is the genuine high-end Chinese mainland Xiaomi Yi 1080p action camera in stock in Australia /NZ (beware of fakes with soft focus) - its pronounced "show-me Y" - - is a fantastic FPV HD Cam - a true alternative to GoPro Hero Silver HD if youre not sure you can afford to risk USD500 on the front of your Scarab Knife 270 mini FPV racer (and mainland Chinese people dont spend USD500 on their action cams) which might get smashed/drowned in a copter crash tree-incident - we know and recommend the Yi "small ants Cam" as a serious option for HD FPV movies as the quality of the shots and sensor used is the same as a GoPro Silver or dji Vision camera (both use the exact same sensor+processor) - the camera adopts a simpler approach than GoPro and has no LCD , rather the Phone app does all that, to setup or update its firmware - all you have to do is download the "YiCam" app from apple App store or Google Play store - the app has the manual - FAQ - settings etc - as well as live preview on your phone to check angles etc - The front ring LED tells you at a glace your battery power (blue =full ; purple medium ; crimson = low batt)
We recommend Yi set to 1080p 60fps to get the best Quality video. If you like to PUSH the firmware harder - tryout the waffle scripts that allow the yi to record in superview like a go pro plus it also allows the yi to record at higher bitrates. The thread for the scripts can be found here http://fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?45118-Xiaomi-Yi-SuperView-Mod-(-more!
