Re: 360 Re-Visited at 5.7K: The Yi 360
You are right (of course), now that link does not work and the Yi site does not offer it. As you can see from the video, there was firmware that added stabilization, and users used the link to get...

Re: 360 Re-Visited at 5.7K: The Yi 360
Thanks for the report.
1. There is 3-axis gimbal available specifically for 360 cameras, that puts the motors below the camera and thus out of the way. Guru 360 is the name.
2. The latest Yi...

Re: 360 Re-Visited at 5.7K: The Yi 360
Yes, I used the supplied software, as the camera will only carry out stitching in 4K, not 5.7K. Stitching in the software is very slow - on my i7 machine, 20 minutes of stitching for one minute of...

Re: 360 Re-Visited at 5.7K: The Yi 360
It does have live HDMI out! And it's clean.
When the camera is set to 5.7K or 4K internally it outputs what my monitor reports as UHD and it shows the two raw unstitched globes. To have live...

Re: 360 Re-Visited at 5.7K: The Yi 360
Other than the long time it takes to stitch using optical flow in the free software (long!), it is straightforward. The stitching software will batch process all the clips and you can trim each clip...

360 Re-Visited at 5.7K: The Yi 360 VR
The latest consumer-grade 360 video resolution frontier is 5.7K. And the Yi 360 VR gives you that for $399. Resolution is critical for 360 viewing, since one sees just a part (slice) of the full...

Re: Report on the Yi 4K+
I switched to the Zhiyun Smooth Q gimbal. I think that other than putting the cam on a tripod and shooting long events, the best use for any action cam is on a gimbal - EIS quite visibly lowers video...

Re: Shooting documentaries with go pro etc
I think Rainer's video shows that with some imagination, and work, you can use even a GoPro (there are better choices for an action cam now) without Alastair's add-ons, to shoot an entertaining...

Re: Report on the Yi 4K+
Can you cite some specifics? All the shots were from camera + gimbal. It is a fantasy that EIS can stabilize effectively when the camera is moving, and also does not severely impact resolution. For...

Re: Report on the Yi 4K+
256GB card; yes, an external battery can be used to power the camera, even without an internal battery. The card would give 4 hours of 4K 60P video at 135Mbps.

Re: Bought a Zhiyun Evolution gimbal, but.......
Thank you for the picture of your Zhiyun Smooth Q set-up, quite neat. With that arrangement, however, you lose the sound on the Yi 4K+, since the Yi's side mic is covered. You also cannot view the...
