Routing the stream through a secondary device – the phone – over two different wireless networks – the GoPro’s WiFi plus the 4G network, is indeed a more complex setup than streaming straight from a mobile phone. And there were even a bunch open source projects created that let you control your GoPro from your computer.īetter yet, starting with the Hero 7, GoPro’s companion app has first party support for live streaming over RTMP, which means you can use it to ingest your action feeds in real time to Bambuser and other services out-of-the-box, without leaving the companion app! Periscope for example, settled on supporting the Hero 4 and later. Several companies released GoPro support as a feature in their apps. People soon figured out how to piggy-back on the preview feed intended for GoPro’s companion app, by connecting to the http server running on the GoPro itself, available over the WiFi network. And from there, the phone’s 4G capability could pick up the baton in our live-streaming scenario, at least in theory… The latter fact motivates the action camera manufacturers to find a way to stream a video feed over the ad-hoc WiFi connection between the action camera and the phone. A wireless way to monitor what the camera captures while setting up the camera mount is also very useful. Using a phone to navigate the vast amount of settings they tend to have, is much more convenient than using a 2-button interface and / or using the tiny preview screen on the back. How to set up live streaming in the GoPro app (Hero 7 and later)įor a few years though, WiFi plus a smartphone companion app has been a standard feature set that action camera users expect. The YI 4K Action Camera will be available in black, white, and rose gold, and is priced at 1199 yuan.Portable cameras like these should be ideal in lots of live streaming scenarios – but what about connectivity? Not a single mainstream action camera ships with 4G built in… The internal 1400mAh battery can last for around 2 hours while recording 4K video. The camera includes dual-band 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 to pair with your phone. You can also shoot time-lapse videos in 4K at 0.5/1/2/5/10/30/60 second intervals. If you want slowmotion, you can either record at 1080p at 120fps, 960p at 120fps, or 720p at 240fps. On the back is a 2.19-inch touchscreen LCD.Īlong with 4K at 30fps, the camera can also record in 2.5K at 30fps or 1440p at 60fps. The six axis gyroscope enables the electronic image stabilization.
The lens is a seven element piece with 155 degree viewing angle and f2.8 aperture. The YI 4K has a 12 megapixel Sony IMX377 sensor, that can also shoot stills in native resolution along with 4K video. Xiaomi has launched the updated version of the YI Action Camera, the YI 4K Action Camera, which, as you can tell, now records in 4K.
