It cost $350 and it shoots 4k 60fps at 100mbps and has a built in gimbal and moves on its own to track your face and the camera can be pointed towards you so you can see yourself on the little monitor while you record which is fantastic for vlogging.

I have been desperate for a 4k 60fps camera that has a screen that lets me see myself while I record and the cheapest cameras that could do this was the Panasonic GH5 and the Fujifilm X-T3 which both cost $1500.

I was thinking about getting the yi 4k+ which at $210 is the cheapest camera that shoots 4k 60fps overall and somehow get an attachment that will allow me to use my phone as a monitor but that seems like it would be a bit awkward.

It also shoots at 100mbps bitrate which is surprising considering the gopro7 only does 78mbps at 4k60fps and is $400

Does anyone know what kind of processor or chip it's using that allows this? And which engineering major focuses more on its production? I also want to know about the yi 4k+ because that's pretty cool too.

Here is some quality test in 4k60fps it looks beautiful!

Interesting device. Probably made for tourist who blog. Not sure how it works as a action camera since you have to hold it. I haven’t tested my note 9 512gb with a 4K 60fps yet (limited to 5 minutes). Used 30fps and 4K looked awesome for the sensor size at 48 Mb/s bitrate , 337mb/minute, limited to 10 minute recording.

i dont know how it can do 4k 60fps for $350 when a huge $3000 dslr can't. hopefully the sony a7s3 will change that.

Which college major focuses more on the production of a 'system on a chip'/SOC electrical or computer engineering?
