This is the video i've waited for a long time! YI 4K vs YI 4K+ finally! Thank you.
Thank you for for the support.
with 20 yrs of working in photoshop. the yi+ will be easier to color correct. the yi still has purple in the sky, but from the examples posted on UT it beats the gopro 4&5. (which is the reason i bought the y+)
the Yi+ has much better detail in the darker areas. this is a key to knowing it will be better in low light conditions.
thx for he work.
They keep improving the camera, and soon we will have even more features via software updates.
But dont you think 4k+ have more green tint? Just my opinion
I like 4k better .. and i dont have to edit the collour..
PegadanG oNlen , that is good for home use. too large to make a long video. file size eats up everything.
the wider the lens angle the better to colors. to get blue skies out of a camera u need 18-20mm.
@@michaeleashoo i got it ,.. thanks for sharing knowledge
Both are Excellent cameras and your efforts are appreciated; however, for my viewing I prefer a warmer "hue" of the 4k rather than the plus which seems slightly to a green tint....very minor
nothing beats 60fps! Color yo always can adjust in post! Frames you cant.
you can convert the 4k30 into 60fps pretty easily in post if you have time/a powerful PC
"you can convert the 4k30 into 60fps pretty easily in post if you have time/a powerful PC"
It is a bit like saying you can turn $100 to $200 using a photocopier. The extra $100 created this way is worth nothing. And similarly converting a 30fps to 60fps has absolutely no value. If you are shooting a fast moving object, say tennis, or a car, or any other sport, the 60fps camera will produce 60 different images every second. You can pause a tennis video and see if the ball touched the line. A 30fps camera on the other hand will show you a blur. And no amount of postprocessing will recreate the missing images.
Your right
i laughed thanks for your comment.
4K+ has a nice white balance. that water color looks dope.
Every action camera company is racing to get clarity and FPS pumped way up. I get that. But I can't help but wonder why virtually none of them are in a race to conquer wind noise... I mean.. WTF.. these are OUTDOOR cameras. You'd think they'd get some engineers onto this issue and come up with solutions that are "built in"--whether noise cancelling software or very well designed mics with wind socks as part of the design. I am extremely glad that the 4K+ can utilize a remote mic, though some of the reports I've read say it doesn't work with a LOT of mics. (an impedance issue ?).
By the way, your 4K+ video is sure crisp and with better color saturation at 60fps. Damn nice.
I tried and I could not get it work with the Gopro mic at my local bestbuy but Honestly I would say if you are looking for good audio I would get a Zoom external mixc and Sync the footage in post. that way you get top quality audio. not the best answer but a possible solution.
Why won't people like yourself, sir, not understand that these are ACTION cameras - video footage where people ride a bike down the mountain, film while surfing, while jumping into water, while secretly filming girls' bikini in the swimming pool... AND adding MUSIC on top of all these footages.
These is no field camera.
Please, all of you, get it, once and for all.
Thanks for posting the native file from the 4K+, I downloaded it last night and had a really good look at it on my NLE, and ordered the camera this morning. The picture is awesome, at any price, but on Amazon UK at the moment you can pick it up for £200, which is a total no brainer. I'm a long time GoPro user who has become less than impressed with their 5 and 6, I'd already considered the Yi 4K+ before buying the the GP6, but unfortunately bought the GP6. The GP6 has got so much over saturation in its chroma, its like watching a TV in shop demo mode, where everything is cranked up.
I've seen people moan that the 4K+ has washed out muted chroma, this really isn't the case, it's simply a more natural tone compared to the boosted chroma on the GP6. The GP5 has got better colour than the 6 in auto mode, but still on the boosted side. There does seem to be a tone and maybe a perceived resolution difference between the 4K and the 4K+. Some of this could be down to comparing the 4K+ at 60FPS to the 4K at 30. At 60FPS the 4K+ will need more light and if they both record at roughly the same high bitrate in 4K, the 4K+ would be using roughly half the file size per frame at 60FPS compared to a frame of 30FPS at the same overall bitrate, all things that will definitely make differences.
Again, thanks for making the file available for download, I for one really appreciate your generosity and good will. Watching your file was the last push I needed to make the purchase. Cheers, Dave.
+David Harry this is the reason I like making these videos and sharing new tech, glad liked and enjoy your new camera I will be at CES. Next. Week hope to see the YI guys again, I will let them know how awe all feel about this great little camera. Cheers
The 4K plus footage looks AMaZINg!,
great value for sure
Wow, the both cameras at the same time view is super, it helped me decide on the plus! Thank you!
very Cool, Glad you found it helpful
is it just me, but the dynamic range on the 4K looks way better. The sunglasses are in the dark on the 4k+
Thank you very much for that comparison! Looking forward to see more of it, esp. with EIS :-)
+An Dy cheers
For me, and I’m no expert, the colors on the 4K were truer. The slo-mo on the 4K+ was definitely smoother. Comparison would better for me side by side vs top and bottom. Thanks for making this comparison.
Thank you, I will consider side by side next time.
Its certainly not a criticizm, just a thought. You have done a great thing by comparing these cameras. Takes a lot of time to do this.
😀 thank you
I think it comes down to what you use it for! As far as picture quality goes, I think companies are doing trade offs to get the effect they want out of their camera. Some are better in bright condition, others are better at low lights. Most of these top ends are similar, give and take, when it comes to image. When it comes to image stability however, the Gopro 6 is the best that I've seen so far.
GoPro is the leader no question, I see YI offering a good price for reasonable compromises
Where were you a month ago. I thought what to order, I chose the usual 4k. Now I see that the difference is colossal.
+Артур Нурудинов I am sorry for the timing I hope you can still exchange it got the new one.
To all with a Go pro or yi, Make a mini deadcat and just 3m tape it to surround the mic holes, makes a WORLD of difference when it comes to windnoise.
I will try that, the new mic setup is one on top and one on the side. should be an interesting look
a tupée and a side burn:x
Far better color on the plus, the extra 30fps makes a massive difference which is my biggest reason for not having purchased a 4k action camera to date. The plus is so much smoother, especially in the areas outside of the direct center focal point. That was about as flawless as one could want. Wow is all i can say.
Exactly,
The audio is much better than I had expected, I find the audio on the Go Pro models are less good. But you should really have added a "dead cat" microphone cover so the wind did not blow straight into it :)
+Michael Gravel / Micke Grus it was the first weekend after getting it and I did not have the time. I have one now.
Thanks for the vid. I really enjoyed it.
I'm thinking it would be really nice to see the various settings you use and how to use the cameras features to get the best footage the Yi has to offer.
I personally like the 4k+ footage, I work with video cameras all the time, and the 4k footage is oversharp and too punchy. while the 4k+ is softer and has better gradual colour temperature. the internal colour profile must have change between the 2 cameras, for me I can only imagine how much better the 4k+ would be to work with in post! but even still I like the image out of the 4k+ as it is much better than 4k...
Thanks for this enlightening video. The 4k+ 60fps is a tad less shaky.
4:02 The reveal of the majestic Canis familiaris taking a dump at the beach.... Majestic as faaaak
you saw it, yea it was definitely something I noticed after I went home.
Aside from framerate, 4k+ footage looks more cinematic to me as it is bit softer, so I think it is more usefull out of the box if you are into that kind of looks. Having 60fps makes it really much more versatile camera as 4k slomo looks really nice. Oh yeah... did you use same sharpness settings on both cameras?
I kept all the settings the same other than the 60FPS, next video will be 4K30 fps one with EIS and the old without.
Nice demo, thank you
thankyou for the sample file :)
Thank you for the support
Can anyone suggest me which action camera is better than yi 4k at this price range?
Thank you for this vid. Its impressive how much smoother the 4k+ looks due to the doubled framerate. Seems that the details per frame are a bit better on 30 fps, but this can be choosen on the 4k+ also. With image stabilazation on FHD 60fps, this camera is quite the improvement over the normal 4k. Increadable how smooth the 60fps look ^^
just love the 4K Plus, because you can use a external mic for recording & Vlogging
I agree with most people when saying that the 4K + is more green than the older one. Could you provide us with some RAW dng files to check them in terms of photography and not videography? I shoot underwater videos and photos and I would like to replace my sj camera which does not shoot raw. Some people cliam that the yi cameras are better than go pros so I would lime to form an opinion before purchasing anything.
I have a link for a source file from the 4K+ and I upload the matching 4K file tonight.
The 4k+ is much better at slow motion for obvious reasons. The normal speed looks good on both even though the + seems to have richer color but that could be a setting. The sound was pretty good barring the wind noise.
+zzzACE73 zzz they make great cameras at great prices. I have been a big fan for a long time
TK Bay I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one. Thanks for the demo.
+zzzACE73 zzz very cool. Thank you
external mic is sth important, this is why yi didn't included bluetooth external mic support in standard 4k, even they for months after release claimed addition of this feature, but they didn't do that!
I hope sjcam or other brands will start to make some competition to yi 4k+ to drop its price.
+Kuba W. I hope so as well, I might be getting an sjcam soon. Will do a compare video.
Interesting. The color palette shown in the 4k looks better than the 4k+, but this was reversed in another RUclipsr's video comparing these 2 action cams.
thanks. just 1 question. which camera record more real world color.
Very helpful comparison, thanks for posting. I am new to the action camera but on a limited budget and looking for the best "bang for the buck". My primary use will be indoor volleyball matches. I assume the higher the frame rate the better chance I will have a slowing down the playback or even stepping frame by frame. Is this correct ? What difference would I see between 1080 @ 60FPS and 4K @ 60FPS?
just better zoom in factor honestly. if you want to focus on a shot you can zoom from 4k 60 and get an 1080P shot at 60FPS
Thank you for the quick response, very helpful. Looks like I need to learn about how to process these videos also. Lot's to learn !!
+Phil Garoni that's the best part just start shooting and practice editing and it will get better over time
From this footage, it seems it also does well as a camcorder. I'm actually planning to buy this to use as a regular video camera, not a sports action camera, so this vid is helpful, thanks.
I just got the 4K+. But looking at this video, most of the time the older camera looks better. But, of course it can't do 4K 60fps or have video stabilization while in 4K 30fps.
+Richard's World you can try the different color profiles also to get better colors
Thanks. I'll play around with the flat setting and see what happens.
thank you for writing this review! I was eager to see this kinda review! There are so many YI vs GoPro, not Yi vs Yi on youtube. The color of 4k+ looks better than 4k to me, but the slow motion is not..hmm
ㅎㅇ
I compared both yesterday evening and what I recognized is this:
4K has some very blurry highlights when shooting towards sunny sceanery (Windows f.e.)
4K has more detailed sky based on better colors in that area, the blue looks more real to me
4K contrast looks flat sometimes when its directly compared to 4K+ footage
4K seems to be overexposing 1ev compared directly to the 4k+ / stopping down results in darker image of course but the blurry effect is still visible
4K produces a warmer image
4k+ has better contrast (way better in shadows)
4K+ has much better Slow Motion (tested in 1080p4x Mode) with no flickering in the scene
4K+ set on „Middle fov „ is a lot less fov than the 4k ???? Huuuu? (1080p50fps Mode)
4K+ produces way better colors in the shadows
4K+ sky looks more white than blue (had no time to try a different w.b. / setting has been on auto w.b.)
4K+ battery seems to go down faster than the 4k during the test, but I have to admit that it comes from using a Bluetooth remote on the 4k+ and I controlled the 4k manually
To me, the warmer colors of the 4k looks better, specially the blue sky. But on the other hand, the 4k+ looks better over all in image quality but has a few weird issues, the narrow middle-set fov or the less contrast sky f.e....
Did someone tested it with same results? For me, all in all I prefer the 4k+ a bit more due to the better image quality and the non existing heavy blurry highlights... they look bad on the 4K footage
Hello, great video. Can you tell me which settings are you recommending on yi 4k+ for lowlight? My lowlight videos are grainy. What settings are you using and why (specially metering mode, shutter speed, wb, iso, color) Thank you!
Thank you for test! Cool!
Thank you for the support
Thank you TK for this review. I just found your video. I love the scenery. Did you use Yi Color or Flat on each, please? A year later now, I got a great deal on a Yi 4K+ and I think the Flat color on my Yi 4k+ is very accurate. I can bring out more color or change the tint, etc. if I want with a video editor. Do you have an external mic you recommend? Wind noise is too loud sometimes on mine and I cannot hear anything else, but on a calm evening the camera mic works fine.
awesome comparison thanks! can you tell me the rendering settings you used?
thank you for the support
Anybody looking at this who is thinking "Gee i'll get a great camera to make a million on youtube" the content of your video, the uniqueness you can offer, the educational value ect, trumps all of these matters by a long way's. If you can't make a channel a success by using expensive camera's, (or even your cell phone) getting a great camera isn't going to magically put you over that hump. From personal experience in business/life getting the best equipment when you start something doesn't make nearly as much difference as your talent/effort/ingenuity (spell check). Go with cheap things and when you have the money buy the better things. A simple cell phone with a camera can do it, if it can't, spending the extra money wasn't going to make it happen anyway so you cut your loses.
The 4K+ looks clearly sharper but man, the colors are awful! Feels like it's using a "swamp filter", the 4K colors are lovely
+AndreAgonia I am working on another demo 4k30 on both and see the difference
both videos are good, I think being an Action Cam it should be better handling the windy situation, but nice place you have around.
Just wondering, are you certified as scuba diver? maybe some underwater footage would be great.
I wonder also which one has the most accurate colour.
How do you make the orange tint go away on the Yi 4K. I want a nice blue color.
4k+ it is! ...thank you for this!
very nice.
which of the 2 cameras has the most realistic colors?
I personally prefer 4k over the 4k+. Keeping stabilisation apart the quality of both vids doesn't have much difference to a naked eye.
Nice vídeo!! Thx! I liked of the shirt!
Slow motion scene at ruclips.net/video/lXXIT1_ZSsA/видео.html one can see a difference in the movement between the 4K+ vs 4K, the 4K+ is smoother
yea I inserted that specially to show why 60fps make such a big difference for moving shots and action
in this slowmotion 4k+ recording 60fps and 4k recording 30fps , right?
The slow motion on the 4K+ is smoother but not exactly smooth. Looks like a software issue.
I agree that 4k+ makes a bit of a difference in slow motion but other then that i don't see much more.
The 4k+ also looks a bit washed on color.
in bright sunlight does the yi 4k+ have the exact same image quality in the 4k@30 and 4k@60 ? (usually when frame rate goes up quality goes down thanks
+amanieux I will be doing a 4k 30 head to head for video this weekend should be out Monday or Tuesday
4:11 that dog :D
what's difference of these two, beside the + version has 60 fps 4K, and possibility for external mic through usb c, anything else?
+Dino Ari Kusuma voice control I think
Thx for this video... 4k+ has no image stabillizer yet ?
+Sonnie Bubu at 30fps and bellow yes at 60fps no.
Sonnie Bubu hey, but for full HD in 60fps it has right?
Trung Duc Nguyen sure, 2.5 K still can used stabilizer
thank you for the download
thank you for the support
thank you for this video
In your opinion, what do you think is better? forget about the price, which is better? Its on sale right now for $150(yi 4k+) and the yi 4k is $99
I would go for the 4k+, with all the updates we got it is better for sure.
TK Bay is it decently durable?
There is a dramatic difference in the slow motion and that's something that can't be shot with any other action camera...
for sport action you need that 60fps
I know I am a downhill rider.. 😉😉
4k 60fps looks absolutely amazing
I find the stabilization a little bit soft though... :/
they have made a lot of improvements with Firmware updates since this video went live.
did they made stabilization better?
if you can do comparison this cams with better sound check(and with waterproof case), show with external mic, EIS and 1080/120 fps will be great :)
What is the background music of the video? Very good!
+maiakovskiii I use music from bensound for all my videos link in the discription
I have a question, how do you get rid of the warping in the video footage? I saw other videos have a weird warping effect... I think it has something to do with eis, but how do you not have warping
I can also see a color shift between the two...why is that?
+andreiiasi I think it'd due to firmware. The video does get better after the latest edition update
Looks like the Yi 4k+ have this greenish tone,.. Is it the same settings on both devices?
yes same setting but the latest firmware fixed that for the +
How did you get that quality I just tried it out of the box and it looked shacky and awful can someone please help?
I used a selfie Stick and mounted both cameras on it and did the best I could to no shake my hands while filming
Thanks
Hi , i can't set my camera to 4k60 fps , only 4k30 fps in the setup
Hey, could you tell me what micro SD card do you use in your Yi 4K +? Thanks a lot!
I am using this one amzn.to/2vYg6yu been working good and transfer rates are great.
Thanks a lot!
thank you for the support
And will there be a night video mate ?
I can work on one for you, I did not make one yet. as for the most part I use these cameras during the day. not the best for night time imo
is there any wayto fix that warm tone on yi 4k?
+GayerGeek Vin Sings you can change it in post or use the other preset in settings, right now I am using the YI profile.
Please answer my questionn
I have just buy a yi 4k+ camera, i using sd card class 10 16Gb, but when i record video, my video divided into multiple clips when I recording. Every clips about 1 minute or less.
So, how can record video with video length 1hour or better.
Thank you so much
the cutting is due to buffering on your SD, you need something faster then just class 10. try this one I used on the same camera. SD card used: amzn.to/2vYg6yu
Go to the file size on the video menu. Change it to MAX and it won’t cut it into pieces.
Спасибо за сравнение этих камер. Вот и думаю какую лучше приобрести.
Yi 4k + for sure
@@TKBay I agree. The microphone works better.
Nice
So no one is going to point out that he recorded in 4k 30 FPS and uploaded it in 60 FPS? Of course the Yi that didn't record in 60 FPS would look terrible.
USE them on bike .( Noone using these on a bike, chest or helmet mount. Lets see how can it handle the shakes.
please checkout my other video for EIS performance. YI 4K+ EIS (60fps/48fps/30fps/24fps) Action Camera video comparison to YI 4K Camera
the color looks more natural on the 4k.
they both have diffrent color profiles that you can adjust to the scene that you want
How is the customer support? IMO I believe that's 50% of the value.
they respond but not very fast, I had only used it one time on the first gen camera.
Good video.
+focused313 thank you
Is it just me or does the 4K look sharper than the 4K + ?
Gerald Ryder just you
Same here. I thought the regular one looked better
Hi! I have the same camera ( YI 4K+ ), but when I render and put the video on the channel in RUclips, the image quality is not as clear as in your video. Which program are you use for rendering and do you have video about which settings you are making in the rendering program? Thank you!
+About All! I use premiere pro cc. Other than rendering in 4k 60fps and using h.264 that is it

The audio when it got windy was unacceptably bad. You should have rerecorded your commentary given it's important to the review.
+Matchewawa I wanted to show how it performs outside and taking that part out would not give you the entire experience IRL. They do great video but audio external for outside would be better. Sorry if it was too loud.
4K+ looks greenish :(((
4K has better colour, contrast and details
I used the Yi color profile for both, I am sure if I did some color correction that could be fixed.
it seems to me 4k + gives a more natural color, there is no purple parasitic shade. 4k + gives a better color, better detail, more frames per second, greater bitrate, its price is more than justified
60fps it's so smooth
glad you like it
Stop wasting time looking for such videos, like myself. I understand it, FINALLY, all clearly:
OF COURSE that companies will put a shitty contrast, so that you will not get enough details from the shadows, change the color a bit and lower the framerate (from the firmware inside) of the chip - which, if someone, knows how to hack it, you could pull that framerate back up, again...
ALL OF THIS, so that they can justify the higher or lower cost of the cameras.
GoPro does this, as well, NO company is different - if they were different, they would just put out one or maximum two products, of the same series,
not 3, 4, 5 versions, to try to cover all possible budgets and customers.
Is like making a Lambo for kids, one for teens, one for adults and one for racers and one for older racers, one for showing off, one for not showing off, instead of just making ONE PERFECT one
and do not give a sheet who buys it, BUT do care that THE ONE buying that, that person will be the happiest person alive.
Wrong test... These cameras is ACTION cameras. Its is not for walking or filming landscapes on a tripod. So... make a FAST paning test with both cameras and there is the MONSTRUS difference between 30 and 60 fps that can do the plus model and it is the only in planet that can do this.
They finally got rid off that fucking red tint present in original Yi 4k. That was main reason why I sold my cam few days after I bought it.
I recently purchased yi4k+ my camera video has fish eye effect, what to do.. your video doesn't have fisheye effect....
change it from they options look for it in google
Just received my 4k+ this morning. Can you tell me how I download video content from the YI 4k+ onto my Samsung S8 ?
Sorry, I'm new to video / photography
+Terry Maloy Go into the gallery from the app and download The videos or pictures from there
TK Bay thanks for the reply 👍
Yi 4k+ has more beautiful color tone than to 4k
I don't understand which color is real :(
+Paul Ivan Villacrusis it's a preference, both cameras have been updated since that video went live.
the video was only 720p :P but I like the 4k better
remember that your device will limit the max resolution, try it on a PC. also RUclips takes for ever to render in 4K60
i know mine is 1080p
Slow motion dog poop @4:05 😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
60FPS showed down pile of .... Yea I missed that when I was shooting the video.
Yi 4k the best
Fisheye lens... That sucks.
Your complexion looks better on the 4K
There is no difference other than tint.
But I think yi 4K is Berger than +
having that 60 fps really makes it better. but if you are referring to the color profile we have many more to use that improve the image
4k plus rules... mic are better
for sure
30 fps looks like movie :D
it is very nice

it was a very windy day, sorry
