Testing the stabiliser against the ancient technology of the GoPro Hero 4, the Yi was obviously going to win! Didn't look all that smooth considering the way it was being held, we need to see it up against a GitUp Git2, same goes for the battery test...

Also they have put the lens in the wrong place, mount it in a standard GoPro compatible gimbal and the lens axis will not line up with the gimbal roll axis so when the gimbal corrects for roll it will also move the camera which will give the gyro stabiliser a hard time!

Looking at the first video I am a little confused, there are 2 video entries for 4K, these being 4K and 4K Ultra but they both show the same resolution of 3840 x 2160. Shouldn't 4K be 4096 x 2160 and 4K Ultra be 3840 x 2160.

Also it has 1920 x 1440, this isn't really a recognized resolution as it isn't quite 2K as it should be 2556 x 1440.

I believe "Ultra" in this cam mean higher Bitrate. I am wrong?
