What costs $64 and can be strapped to the back of your cat? That’s right, Xiaomi’s Yi Action Camera that hopes to unsettle GoPro in China.
The Yi is a compact Action camera made by the same partner who created Xiaomi’s Yi home camera and will connect to Xiaomi devices via a dedicated application. For the $64 asking prices Xiaomi have offered some nice features including a 16 mega-pixel Sonly Exmor R camera which can record video at 1080 HD at 60fps.

Weighing only 72grams the little camera can also be taken to a depth of 40 meters underwater, yet doesn’t appear to come with a protective casing like GoPro’s offerings.
Xiaomi are offering two bundles of the Yi camera staring from 399 Yuan for the camera along, or 499 for the camera and selfie rod. International availability isn’t likely at this time so watch for resellers selling the camera.
Xiaomi stop adding products to my wishlist!! :D:D
Anyone knows something about compatibility to Go Pro accessories??
I can assume they match 100% but just want to make sure.
It all depends on the dimensions of the Xiaomi action cam. Even if the dimensions are not the same, you can count that Chinese companies will make a alternative case and sell it online, just like the many Gopro accesoires.you can see online on many Chinese webshops.
Xiaomi does not sell it outside China, so you basically have to rely on resellers, it is going to cost most likely between 90 and 100 US dollar on third parties websites.
