About this deal

cameras can often live & die by their software with the Xiaomi MiJia 3.5 being no exception. The reason for this is that the only method for editing the videos and photos is via dedicated software usually your smartphone or tablet. Matching most of the features of the GoPro, albeit at 'only' 4K, the Osmo Action 4 boasts a bigger image sensor so performs better in lower light, making this our favourite at a pinch. Secondly is the 360 technology, which until now, has been limited to using multi-camera setups to achieve high resolution 360. With improvements in lens quality & mobile camera chips, you can now cram everything needed for high-res 360 into one small compact camera.

The Mi Sphere app itself is split into three sections. Featured 360 images from the community. The gallery, which shows both local and pictures / videos on the camera itself. Finally, you can connect to the MiJia Camera via WiFi and see a live feed from the camera. There is a charging port is located at the side with a sliding cover. This cover makes it safe even if you decide to take deep dive shots. The only unfortunate thing is that it doesn’t have a type-c USB support which is kinda irritating in this day and age.Purely based on the 360 photos alone, I think the Xiaomi MiJia is worthwhile but when you add in the 3.5k video it becomes a no-brainer. In addition to the fisheye lens, this Mijia Mini 4K action camera has a Lens Correction Option. It basically removes all the distortion in an image. However, the depth of the field will be compromised. So, it has a slightly narrower field of vision and you have to physically move closer to the subject. However, this feature in general is extremely useful when there are blemishes or obstruction you can’t control. These 360 photos look fantastic and can be edited to your heart’s content via the Mi Sphere app. You also have to option to create tiny world photos like the one above that look great. Should you want to upload a 360 photo to Facebook you have the option to export them by using the in-app share button. You can connect your Mi Action camera 4k to your phone by pairing it with the Mi Home app. Install the Mi Home app on your phone before following these steps:

Although it maxes-out at 4K/30fps, Sony's 4K shooter does have some unique features, most notably a smart-watch contraption that allows a remote live view, and control. It's also got almost dream-like image stabilization. Settings Icon– You’ll find this in the bottom right of the viewfinder screen and it’ll give you access to all of your filming settings. Its new voice control software does add to that, though results are mixed despite having to first have the Yi 4K+ record a voice sample. Shouting 'Yi Action take photo', 'Yi Action record video' and 'Yi Action turn off' (among other voice commands) at the Yi 4K+ does herald results, but it doesn't work too well if you're outdoors … which is kinda's all what this camera is for.Slow-motion– If you'll want to slow down some cool moments of action, see what the highest frame rate available is. 240fps will let you go half the speed of 120fps. Swipe Down to access the settings. From here you can connect to the Mi Home App using WiFi (more info below). Change the cameras (non-filming) settings and also power off the cam. You can extend the battery life further by using the Xiaomi Action Cam in standalone mode with the WiFi turned off. With WiFi turned on, the battery will drain a lot faster and since you’re shooting 360 footage, most of the time, you don’t need a digital viewfinder.

Yup, everything can’t be fine and dandy with a budget camera now, can it? But no need to worry as the audio on the file will be fine. So, it will be perfect once you listen to it on your computer. The Action 2 puts even more choice in the user’s hands, coming as a tiny 39x39mm square camera core that can be operated alone or attached (by a magnetic clip) to other units which offers more connectivity, battery life, and a front-facing screen. Although some of the latest phones, like the iPhone 14, have image stabilization like a GoPro or other action camera, do you really want to risk breaking your phone? Action cameras have a rugged and compact build which makes them harder to break, and GoPro, for example, has a Pro Tune feature to help get a more professional looking image, too. Introduction to action cameras And of course, there is a compartment for the battery and the sd card at the bottom. You will also find a mount for tripods at the bottom of the device. Ok, so I’d be lying if I said the MiJia had more vivid colours than the GoPro, but it holds it’s own all the same and offers a higher level of detail.However, what is annoying – and it's exactly the same with all GoPro products – is a short battery life. The Yi 4K+ has a 1400mAh battery that lasts for just over an hour in 4K mode, a little longer if not. A small, portable and money-saving design Leading drone maker DJI forced a re-think for GoPro by introducing a front screen to their first action camera; a handy innovation for bloggers. There are a few teething problems which when exporting the 360 pictures and video to other platforms. Exporting to Google Street view, so that you can embed pictures, changed the vertical alignment in some pictures. I’m sure Xiaomi are aware of these problems and will be releasing fixes in future updates.
