Is anyone aware of any current deals on the xiaomi 4k action camera?
And or could someone recommend the best place to purchase one from?
Some of the sites that advertise here do stock them, but i'm a bit apprehensive of making an expensive purchase through these sites as reading some of the threads here the companies are a bit hit and miss when it comes to actually delivering the product.
thanks in advance
i guess i'm paranoid but i just have little if to no faith in any online store that doesn't allow purchases via paypal
I'll let you on in a little secret. They're not actually Xiaomi ;)
please enlighten me :-)
Xiaomi purchase companies and incorporate them under the Xiaomi Mi branding. They invest in other companies which sell their products in the Mi store under their own branding. Yi Technology received a large investment from Xiaomi and made the Yi Action Camera. For simplicity and marketing, sellers called it the Xiaomi Yi Action Camera, Xiaoyi Action Camera etc. So technically it's not really Xiaomi ;)
i think they make great products just a little hard to come by.
@timewasting: Yep they sure do. Yi is easy to come by as they've launched globally while a lot of Xiaomi Mi branded products have not.
@Clear:
thanks heaps for this i ended up buying one from them, 2 weeks delivery from China, pretty impressed
@Clear: EMS to begin with in china and then DHL ended up paying just $360au, paid a bit extra for DHL but wanted that sense of security
Its currently $199.99US , $267AUD here: http://www.gearbest.com/action-cameras/pp_360137.html?wid=11
will never buy anything from them again, at least i received mine in a respectable amount of time. didn't mind paying extra for a sense of security and a guaranteed delivery
Is their AliExpress store https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/YI-4K-Action-Camera… currently the best place to purchase?
FYI their official store on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2230079
