Today we pit the new GoPro HERO 6 vs my old favorite, YI 4K+!
YI was the first action camera with 4K60FPS, but GoPro has caught up and not only features 4K60, but other major improvements and enhanced shooting modes. GoPro HERO 6 can also shoot 2.7K 120FPS and 1080p 240FPS!! That's pretty massive!
One key difference to notice in today's side by side comparisons are the quality of resolution, clarity, color, dynamic range... the YI 4K+ is recording a much higher bitrate (amount of data recorded per second), and thus you'll notice the YI having better clarity.. very interesting!
Let me know which one YOU guys think is better in the comments! Is it worth paying the extra $$ for GoPro?!
Thank you guys so much for watching!
Stay tuned for more GOPRO 6 and other tech videos coming soon! bit.ly/authente...
Yi:
- better image quality, sharper image, visibly higher bitrate (less blocky artifacts),
- natural colors
- sound is clearer but NOT in wind!
- slow motion videos (lower fps, but higher quality),
- much cheaper!
- waterproofing: needs a case
GoPro
- has better digital image stabilization,
- vivid colors
- wider image,
- lower sound quality, but better wind noise reduction,
- slow motion videos (higher fps, but lower quality),
- slightly better in low light,
- waterproofing: no case needed
The Gopro is using HEVC in the 4k60 mode where as the yi is not, hevc gives the same detail for around half the bitrate. Since the gopros 4k60 bitrate is around 80mbps thats the equivalent of 160mbps h.264 like the yi.
Also if you record in flat color mode and color correct you have more flexibility than with the yi. The yi is overly warm. The hero 6 may be overly saturated and contrasty in gopro color it is at least more neutral.
But the Yi is still sharper and more detailed with less blocky artifacts after uploading to youtube...
Because most of the comparisons are bogus. You cant take 2.7k 120 and compare it to 2.7k 60 and expect the same detail and the same with 1080/240 and 1080/120. You are talking literally half the data per frame. Pause it at 7:20 and the Hero 6's details in the plywood and logos on the plywood is drastically better. I'm not sure whats up with the comparison at 2:20, mine does not look like that in high action scenes. I think ALOT of the extra "detail" you see from the yi is artifical over sharpening like most of those china cameras have.
Foremi That's even worse, they got a better codec but can't deliver better image quality.
Cheng CHENG You clearly didn't read my second comment.
Honestly as more professional Yi 4k+ makes more sense to get as much higher bitrate and sharper image quality is actually very important. The higher FPS doesn't matter when the image quality is just trashed. If want to have better stabilised footage the price difference, you can just buy an Action cam gimbal instead, which also great for motion timelapse and more.
Quality comparison man. Both cameras are great. Go Pro's oversaturated colors indeed look better for the mainstream users. Gives that wow factor.
Any more info about the audio? Can you attach an external mic to the GoPro 6? Does it still require the $50 adaptor? What is audio input on the Yi??!!! Thanks!
You always make the best comparison videos, Ben :D
Thank you, Lorenzo!
I agree. please continue on doing these type of non biased comparison
Ya, they're so helpful!
The Yi’s colors look more realistic
I think you should cover that enthusiasts have overclocked the Yi 4K+ 1080p to 150FPS. I do believe that 720p could run at a whopping 300FPS as well. All in all the customization ability of the 4K+ is really alluring.
Thank you for such an amazing review. great job on that. Here's my question tho. Can I connect the Yi 4K+ directly to a computer if I wanted to do a live recording? Like could I use it in a church for my Drummer, and stream it live?
Great video, very detailed comparison. You should include the Sony X3000 to the GoPro 6 and You 4K+. I switched to the Sony last year for all my mountain biking videos and I have no regrets. The picture quality, color, sound and image stabilization is way better on the Sony.
I'm waiting for their next model, hopefully built-in screen ;)
@2:25 - I believe you did not enable the EIS on the YI 4k+ camera. In your older video where you are testing 4k+ vs Hero 5, the stabilization on Yi 4k+ is a completely different story from what you are showing in this video.
na6alnikeneme bravissimo, ho notato la stessa identica cosa
Why in Italian
@@ciaux Because he's Italian.
I love the YI 4K Plus. My colors are richer than what I see in your videos, also my low light performance is better. I personally had a GoPro Hero 4 Silver and GoPro Hero 5 Black and both had three major problems that resulted in me returning both shortly after purchasing them: SD Card Errors, blank back screen that required removing the battery to stop, and the Hero 5 Black also over heated and also occasionally shut down on its' own without any warning or reason and it wasn't hot. Just 3 to 40 seconds in, it just turned itself off and at least a dozen times when I thought I was filming with it, it was off without my knowledge. The YI 4K Plus has been flawless and I love it !!!
Dr Dimento hows the battery life?
Quite awesome actually. I have yet t to kill the battery recording for 1/2 to 1+ hour increments. Just guessing a couple hours at this point. I am totally impressed with the photos and video and especially indoor medium low light. My GoPro Hero 5 Black and 4 Silver inside were awful. I like the color hold on the YI 4K+ also. The GoPro's both either failed or overheated regularly and often shut down without video when I used them. In fact, when I used the GoPro's in a professional situation (had to have the video) not once did they come through, both shut down (which is why I returned them). I tried the SJcam units and while they functioned a lot like the GoPro's they never overheated or shut off on their own, but the low light quality was worse than the GoPro's. The quality of video, the battery life, and the price of the YI 4K Plus are a definite PLUS (pun) in this fellers trick bag.
Sorry to take so long to respond but I was waiting for a batt kit that gave me a charger and two extra batteries. I've been using the camera on road trips and the batt life is pretty much OK with what I do. If you'd like I'll film to crash on several different situations and report back? Ohhhh, and definitely like this over the GoPro Hero 5 Black, especially in that it actually works every time I use it. The GoPro 5 (like the 4 I had also) crashed eery time I turned around. The Yi Plus works. Yes !!!
Xiaomi YI cameras are so underestimated sadly...
Are they? Yi Action cams seem to be doing well. GoPro on the other hand......
GoPro: Apple of Action Cameras.
Which issues do they have on the gimbals?
If you wanna look and feel like a Pro' go for the good brands, but if you wanna feel and look cheap always go for the chinese brands. Let's be honest but there is always a down side with chinese "cheaper" brands.. Stolen tech, cut corners, spying software, bad user interfaces.
no such thing as sadx or not, cepux, be,can be any nmw and any be perfect
That was a great in-depth review. I really appreciated the frame rate tests. Thank you 👽
I were looking for days for such videos. Thanks a lot man, you´re doing great work
Thanks!
In my also and yours and other peoples video what is that round light coming in?
Very nicely done, Ben. Very comprehensive and largely impartial, which is hard to do. I would love to see a simple comparison of power consumption with both cameras running 4k60 in parallel.
I know what you mean about Gopro hero 6...its a fab camera but Y has better colors more natural while Gopro colors seam to me fake or over saturated. Personally I rather have a flatter image to work with than over saturated . But that's me.
You always do the best reviews! Thank you!
many thanks!!
Do you have a video related to MicroSD cards for 4K 60fps? Thanks!
Brillant! That's a really good review, you talked about everything I wanted to know, keep going mate
Thanks so much
The test that needs to be done is the audio with the housing and tripod or handle being held. The GoPro 5 has been known to have horrible background scuffing noise when handled with a housing and holding the handle.
Yi still looks better image quality is what counts. I never liked over saturated camera's.
Omg such a good viideo ! Hands down best review so far. Cheers Mate ! Keep it coming, Maybe a short battery test next?
Great review bro. Looking forward to the full comparison! :)
Superb video
Thanks, Jaswinder!
you deserve more subs
What's going on with the ceiling at 3:47? It's heavily glitching on both cameras. It looks like the video has been de-shaked with Adobe Premiere or some other program. Edit: The glitches appear in the 1080p version of this video, not in 1440p. Wtf?
you put soo much work into your videos!! They are very helpful
The details from Yi 4K+ at 60 FPS looks amazing starting at 2:05
Fog test ?
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for such a great video and audio comparison.
Great video and very informative! I’m looking for an action cam for my street photography videos and Yi is definitely good enough for that!
Regarding price and (especially) sound comparison, one should consider gopro's out of the box water resistance. Flat vs Vivid is a dead end comparison since both are subject dependent. Surely both camera outputs would require tweaking at some point. Beyond that, I would take higher bit rate everyday.
Great job! This comparison is perfect for consumers debating between the two for almost all general filming with no bias
Thank you
At almost twice the price of Yi, it is really disappointing why GoPro cannot beat it outright. Better clarity and dynamic range is the core to any camera, it is amazing how the expensive GoPro cannot beat and 6 months old product.
Yes, I was a little disappointed with the dynamic range and fuzziness of the gopro. it really is what can make or break camera quality
Michael Adonijah Don’t get me wrong, it is doing a fine job, sometimes too fine (too blue a sky), but with its competitor almost half the price, it should have nailed the core!
VTC Drone are you both kidding? the eis from gopro is godlike + doble of frameratr(fps &slowmo what people wants, otherwise you take the older model) gopro 6 crush yi 4k+ destroy yi 4+ . better to compare yi 4k+ to gopro 5. i would better put my money to have more framerate and stabilisation. 4k60 1080p240fps for 500€? with stab? dude thats not expensive
It is undeniable that dynamic range and clarity, Yi4K+ beat Hero6. And though those are not the only factors, those are two of the few core factors in videography. Basically in a normal mode, if you do a lot of shaking GoPro win for their stabilization but, if you just walk or quick pace, then Yi4K+ won. Both need to be bum down to 4K30FPS to use EIS. In addition, I didn't think most people use a lot of slow-mo.
The very fact that Hero 6 cannot beat a 6 month old with nearly half the price product outright is very disappointing. Do remember one is $300, the other is $500.
IF you are looking to just walk or whatever, then use your phone. This product is for those who are very active or are into videography. It is not made for people with average daily life.
I noticed the fisheye effect was more pronounced on the Hero6 inside that house being built. Can you talk about the differences there? Thanks for the great review vids! Thumbs up!
I can use all my connectors/accessories from my prior GoPro? Then no contest . I'll stay with the GoPro . The stabilization is worth purchasing the Gopro. Did you forget to mention the new Processor ???
Yi looked best overall to me. Image quality is king in a camera. And It is hard to beat the Yi 4 K+ bit rate. Go Pro 5 user. I will not be upgrading to the Hero 6.
Very good review bro. Keep it it! Subscribed!
Very straight forward comparison. Thanks!
was waiting for this. thanks bennie boy
Love your review as always!
Do a hero 6 vs Sony action camera. Great video by the way!
Great video! On the slow-mo, it almost looks as though the GoPro is interpolating the resolution, because that didn't look anywhere close to the YI in terms of sharpness.
My comments are late...but this has to be the best comparison video of these two devices!
Didn't think twice before subscribing.
Thank you.
Don't understand the huge amount of dislikes. This is a very in-depth comparison, the kind I specifically want when I look up a product comparison. Amazing work!
+TehSlan thanks!
He’ll get 1.3 million subscribers so long as he holds to the vision with clarity and unwavering faith no one can be denied any object of obtainment... I might add it’s simple but not so easy...
Excellent Job. Very Well Done. Thanks.
I hope the next two generations of these action cameras will yield 4k 120fps 240 fps or even 8k capability . This makes the next decade of 2020 - 2029 extremely interesting and exiting .
If you see this, one important thing to compare would be battery life. I have had gopros and changed to Yi because of the battery life. It is true my camera is still the Yi 4K(not plus) so we are talking about a worse camera for sure, but still Gopro has been disappointing all the time in terms of battery life. Could it be that now they got it right?
It’s weird really, unless GoPro has produced different quality batches, iPhonedo just released a video where the 6 was literally worst than everything else, including GoPro 5.
It’s not too confidence inducing if a brand can’t release a uniform product to every customers.
yup. the GP5 has better quality image imo.. gp6 has better EIS.. YI4K+ has better price/performance ratio
Nice comparison. Epic geese shots. YI 4K+ is the value king for 4K 60, no doubt about it. LOL at your subscribe graphic at the end, 1.3Million... Maybe Someday!
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS haha nice spot !!
Ben, First of all thanks for sharing such an awesome comparison, this definitely helps to make right decision. I would prefer YI 4K+ over Gopro 6. Definitely Price is a big point , their are some more important point which lot of users have experienced. -
1. Gopro hero 5 and 6 freeze a lot, how ever YI's interface is fast and smooth.
2. Gopro customer service is not good (kind of rude) , YI doesn't even need service (i own 3 YI camera and 2 gopro) All my gopro freezes , kind of sucks.
You're right, the Gopro freezes quite often (very frustrating) - I mention/show this in my upcoming In-Depth Review coming soon
This is a very helpful video. Thank you very much!
Good comparison. Sharpness is yi+ so I can put in video editing software and little adjustment; add color and/or brightness and wa-la a better picture.
Really really good comparison! Superb video! I think the yi 4K have worse lens coating, but better image processing...
I agree, the glare on Yi 4K plus is very pronouced, but the overall quality of the image is much better on the Yi side. I don't like that GoPro had to dial up the saturation to make the image LOOKS better, that suppose to be the kind of trick done by lower end cameras.
Cheng CHENG I think they have made this choice because the largest part of users use the videos without color correction and they are much satisfected in this way... Of course the images of the yi have more details but when you put the sun directly in the frame you see a lot of aberrations. Is this a big problem? I don't think so....
This video was well worth a subscribe good job
@5:38 It's a little misleading to do a zoom-in comparison on footage shot at completely different FPS settings. Other than that, great review.
Yeah, that's true, but he also compared the slow mo smoothness of two cameras at different FPS, so he just compare them at the highest setting anyway.
That's also a little misleading unless you are comparing specifically the smoothness of the footage. I think a better slow-mo comparison would also include the same clips played back at the same fps to really show how much "slower" a higher recorded FPS allows.
For one who does video editing & colour grading, I think the Yi is the better price to performance option, especially with that flat colour profile!. The straight of video quality of the GoPro is nice tho!
Very well made comparison video. However, when you do split screen comparison please sync the clips to the exact same frame. Here some of them are clearly out of sync. And the ultimate 2017 action camera comparison would of course be GoPro H6 vs Yi 4K+ vs Sony BOSS you know what.
I like both, but GoPro is too expensive. Must go with Yi 4K+ or maybe next year Yi 4K+ 2018 Edition
damn I wish the new YI would come out sooner I need an action cam now and it's either gopro hero 6 or yi 4K+
Will Yi introduce a new model next year? I might wait with buying one.
Nah, lots of the other features of the GoPro make it worthwhile. Just bought mine and it's awesome
I still have a Yi 4K(not plus) but if Yi would be able to "copy" the EIS of Hero 6, I will really consider buying their new camera.
Mark Douglas what kind of stuff. im interested in wedding photography and cinematography and could use some neat tricks
Nicely done, Jeb!
Hello Ben!! I was a subscriber When you had 5000subs i Love your Chanel and you deserd more subs i Love Tech gadgets hope you grow match under this year!! Have a good day!!//William
I just got my self the Yi 4k+ on ebay cant wait to use it in my gelsoft games, thanks for the review saved me alot of money
Very nice comparison!
Awesome review!
Thanks for comparison . This what I am looking for!
Great video man, I'm sure someone else has probably pointed it out, but when you are doing the ultra slow mo and comment that the yi looks a lot sharper but obviously not as smooth due to not having the same frame rate. I don't think you're taking into consideration the high framerate / bit rate. If you did this test with 2 gopros, shot 1 of them at 240 and the other at 120, the 120 one would look sharper because each frame of video would have twice the available bytes as the 240 camera. Same reason if you compared any highspeed gopro shot with a normal 30fps shot the 30 fps will have way more detail and look much sharper because each frame would have lots of more data per frame to make it look good. Obviously the Yi camera has a lot more data flowing as you showed in the earlier shots. But it's a no brainier that with these action cams, more FPS means less detail.
Yi is definitely sharper look at the scooter clip in the beginning, the leaves on the trees gives great detail with the yi
Awesome! Put it in a nutshell! Thanks for this great resume.
1080p with 240fps from hero6 is quite blurry so I would go for another comparison - 720p 240fps from yi vs 1080/240 gopro
Real nice and usefull review. Thank you.
you have a very good nice voice, clear and easy to understand for non english speaking like me.. good job ! like a tv presenter :)
I ordered the Yi 4+ bundle a month before GoPro 6 was out, because didn't know or heard anything about it first. So, I canceled it to wait & check out the GoPro6. and Now, i'm sure that Yi4+ bundle is the right choice for moi! :) like the video!
Excellent video Ben. Thanks!
After having a Hero 5 I doubt if I will ever be persuaded to get another GoPro :-( Here's a list: It was glitchy. It had many frozen screens. I was always wondering if it had actually recorded. If you start recording with the one touch button it won't restart if you pause the recording. And don't get me started on the sound quality or lack of it, yes you can use an external mic but the adapter will cost another $60 that's without a microphone and then it's not waterproof because you have to leave the door open. If they just sold it as an underwater camera they could get away with it. And the battery life was terrible. And not even a tripod screw thread. I'm not nitpicking, these things are important!
Cool video! This is more like the comparison of Galaxy Note 8 vs Iphone X. The most saturated and vibrant looking one is always the best!👍
Great comparison. The Yi 4K+ simply has much sharper picture quality due to that higher bit rate. The GP6 has better EIS but it overexposes alot the scenes with the whites washed out and details lost. Colours are more vivid on the GP6 but very unnatural looking.
GoPro needs to make the bit-rate and clarity better, as well as the audio. Do those couple things and that extra $100 is worth it.
awesome video man
I have been using quite a number of cameras including the Isaw. Evenually i have settled on the Gopro 6 When i needed sore serious shooting. I have not tried the Yi yet. Someday...
Hello! I do not understand in your language, but visually it seems to me that GoPro has a more saturated picture, more viewing angle, good stabilization, YI has a better microphone, slows down video, but sharper than GoPro. I took YI three-axis stabilizer with AliExpress, like a normal firm ... Where do you live, what kind of beautiful places?
I like both. They both have their positives and negatives. I wish Gopro had the Yi menu system. Very easy to use and select settings.
I wonder what Yi will do to answer this. Haha.
Great video.
Which one is better in low light conditions? Like really at night, in the woods etc.
Nice video! The EIS comparison was great! Don't quite understand the value of comparing bitrate though when it's two completely different codecs (HEVC vs H264)? IMHO the Yi is leagues ahead regarding sharpness, and the lack of details but also aliasing on the GoPros high-framerate modes almost makes me think they record in lower res and upscale in camera... Not impressed.
Interesting that I am seeing this video on the Yi 4k cameras. I am planning on using these cameras for facial motion capture and after hearing that I can record at 120 with this, I am happy to see this review
nice review, SUBCRIBED !!!
Thanks for the sub
Great vid bro!!!
EIS on Hero6 is really impressive, almost like a gimbal. How many % do you think is the zoom in?
Great comparison. Thanks a lot.
Yi no doubt...Best realistic video output...We can add any filter colour n grading process
Thank you for this comparison. It clearly demonstrated that the Hero 6 has way too much len's flare and ghosting for my taste and it's price.
6:10 wow nice birdy shot!!!!
Good review, thanks man!!!
Very well done review
Awesome video thanks I'm a full time youtuber so I will go for the GoPro 6
The video stabilization is very important for action cam. Yi may need new model to compete with Hero6.
one problem with this video. You didnt turn on pro tune and a flat color profile on the gopro.
What action camera to buy?!? I am an active rower and I coach rowing. Video analysis is very important. I have been researching for a month at least, various cameras and I still did not find one that I can say "I'm getting this one". All top brands have terrible reviews on Amazon - GoPro 5&6 and session 5, Garmin virb ultra 30, Sony fdr x3000. The same time, some cheaper options have excellent reviews - YI 4K, YI 4K+, DBPOWER EX7000, DBPOWER N6 4K Touchscreen, FITFORT Action Camera 4K, AKASO Brave 4..... So, I am really confused because I do not mind spending 400-500$ on a top brand because I want quality, but from what I have read in the reviews, it seems that GoPros are not reliable, have terrible customer support, and are highly overpriced and overrated. Any suggestions on what should I go for?
Honestly, I am not impressed with the 6 at all. Of course, I am only looking at reviews, and don't have one. I am in the market to get a new 4K camera. I would prefer a GH5, but I have a budget. I would almost prefer to buy the Hero 5 over the 6, but the Yi looks good. I recently bought a CHEAP 4K action camera, and got exactly what I paid for (crap). That is the only reason I am hesitant on getting a Yi. I need to have something that is rock solid with the video performance. When I hit record, I don't want to have to worry about it not recording, or having some odd results in the video as I did with the cheap one. IF I knew the Yi was a solid performer, I would pull the trigger and get it. Thanks for letting me babble. Have a great day :)
