I'm after an action cam for an upcoming trip to South America.

Currently looking at:
- Hawkeye Firefly 7S (2k and 4k? Not sure if there's two versions)
- YI Lite Action Camera - https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/offer-listing/B075JFSZM9/ref=dp…
- YI Lite Action Camera - https://www.amazon.com.au/YI-Action-Camera-Sensor-Touchscree…
- YI 4K Action and Sports Camera - https://www.amazon.com/YI-Action-Sports-Camera-Control/dp/B0…

What's the difference between those Yi Lite action cameras and the Xiaomi Yi Action Camera?
What about the Mijia 4K?
Is it important to have EIS or OIS?

    4K video takes up a lot of space so you will need a large memory card?

      I won't be recording in 4K. Will record in 1080p.. I noticed some and 1080p 120fps so that might be a better option.

        I'm also on market for the camera with the similar criterias. Can you share here when you buy something?

        Recording at 1080p@120fps will use about same amount of memory as 4k@30fps.

          Either way, I'll get a few cards since I'll be there for 4-5 weeks. I'll offload onto to storage if possible.

    Yi 4k or GoPro Session 4 when it's on sale for $160 at TGG

    Never heard of the Yi lite but the Yi 4k reviews well

    Yi Lite only does 4k@20FPS where the Yi 4k does 4k@30fps and 4k+@60fps
    Also best to go to their website here and compare the specs.
    EIS is important, gimbal is better but costs money obviously.
