About this deal

The only other action camera to achieve 4K/60fps, the market leader is also natively waterproof without any casing needed. It also adds GPS, gyroscope and accelerometer sensors, and slightly better voice recognition that the Yi 4K+. 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. 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. Most importantly, all these features really bring out the potential of each and every photo. This is because all these shooting modes are supported by a Sony IMX317 sensor that captures images in 1080p at 60fps. Additionally, The images are further elevated by the stabilisation function, making it the best budget action camera.

As well as producing JPEGs, the Yi 4K+ records raw images at DNG files. However, shooting in raw does require a little patience, with an approx. 10-seconds wait between each shot. It also doesn't produce the cleanest raw photo you'll ever see, but they're good enough to produce some much better-looking results through Photoshop. Not convinced? Try theseThe worst nightmare for every tourist is when you’re visiting a once in a lifetime spot, you reach for your camera and its dead… The Yi 4K+ has a standard tripod thread on the bottom, which is a boon for anyone wanting to connect it to the plethora of mounts available (as well as a standard camera tripod). Despite the natively easy to use Yi 4K+ not requiring a good app to make the device usable (which is so often the case), its free Yi Action app is impressive. 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. Do I recommend the Xiaomi MiJia 4K Mini? Yes, it’s a great little action cam that becomes an awesome action cam when combined with the MiJia Gimbal. While it does add to the initial cost, the companion gimbal is excellent. The build quality is premium, it extends the cameras battery life and lets you get your #spielberg on like a pro.

The Xiaomi Mijia 4K Action Camera has a beautiful metal frame with a nice finish – a quality texture plastic of sorts. This texture feels great in your hands and it makes it look premium. 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. It’s only when we consider how much more expensive the GoPro Session is, that we start to see what excellent value the MiJia 4K Mini has to offer.Another action cam feature that the MiJia 360 boasts is its ability to work in temperatures as cold as -10 degrees Celsius. This, when combined with its digital stabilisation, means it’s a good option for snow sports as long as you’re careful. When I first used the Xiaomi Mi Band, the companion app was poor. After a year it had transformed so much I didn’t recognise the original. The Mi Sphere App is starting off well, so can only get better!

Dive into the world of 360 videos & photography with the Xiaomi MiJia Panoramic Action Cam! (3.5K resolution & IP67 rated)

Xiaomi never ceases to amaze me. I mean, I review their products for a living and I know what to expect from them. I know it’s about low quality and high features. But they do it time and time again with numerous devices. With a waterproof body, 4K at 60FPS, and electronic image stabilization, plus a pile of accessories (including a spare battery and remote control), this has a lot going for it.

That said though, if you are a vlogger or social media influencer who will likley be capturing their 4k video in slower-paced activities then the footage from the Xiaomi Mi 4K may meet your needs. The sample video above has been captured using the Xiaomi Mi 4K action camera and offers some realistic examples of what you can expect for regular day to day use of the camera. As you can see, for tasks such as vlogging, the Xiaomi Mi 4K can probably meet your needs but in our opinion, the Akaso V50 Pro or Apeman Trawo are better options. 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 camerasYou’ll also need two of them for full 360 video immersion, which will cost over double the Xiaomi MiJia 360. xiaomi-mijia-mini-4k-review We get hands-on with the Xiaomi MiJia Mini 4K Action Camera... the budget GoPro alternative The only real worry is how naked those glass lenses are when the camera is in use; the joy of re-positioning the camera angle after the fact can be hours of fun. 5.7K is good enough for sharing, but more resolution would help pro work. Like the more famous competition, DJI has high-quality horizon balancing and image stabilization, which has improved on the Action 3. The resolution limit is 4K, but in practice, this is the ideal resolution for action (and the limit of almost all TVs). More useful is the 120fps capability (or 240fps at 1080P).
