MGCOOL to release a GoPro Hero5/Yi 4K contender action camera?


Rumor has it that MGCOOL are going to release a new action camera which will be a contender to the latest GoPro Hero5 and Yi 4K. What should we expect, though?

Action cam sales have been going up in the last years, everything began when the GoPro came out, the first truly high quality pocketable camera, which also added voice control and touch screen on the latest Hero5.

GoPro was then follow by Xiaomi or its sub-brand Yi Technology action camera, which was an amazing camera for the price, this year they came out with the Yi 4K, a relatively cheap camera that can shoot 4K@30fps and sports a 2.19″ Gorilla Glass LCD screen.

    Yes there must be a camera like GoPro or YI. Because MGCOOL’s 1st camera was a failure and that performs awkward in low light, which must be improved.
