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...

Quality comparison man. Both cameras are great. Go Pro's oversaturated colors indeed look better for the mainstream users. Gives that wow factor.

@furulevi 7 лет назад

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

@Foremi 7 лет назад

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.

@furulevi 7 лет назад

But the Yi is still sharper and more detailed with less blocky artifacts after uploading to youtube...

@Foremi 7 лет назад

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.

@vivealexcheng 7 лет назад

Foremi That's even worse, they got a better codec but can't deliver better image quality.

@VTCDrone 7 лет назад

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.

@mikeh245 7 лет назад

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

@VTCDrone 7 лет назад

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!

@ey3tech58 7 лет назад

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

@VTCDrone 7 лет назад

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.

@thedeafgenius 7 лет назад

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.

@chungdha 6 лет назад

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.

@TommyHuynh 6 лет назад

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 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.

@dantist06 7 лет назад

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?

@xXadambXx 7 лет назад

4k/60 and about 60 Mbs?! with 4k/30 it was big con (compare to yi4k/+ and x3000) ... another thing that gopro doesn't listen customers... thank yo for that info, because i can't find anywhere the bitrate of clips, now we know it still SUUUKS ;/ in slow motion this 2,7/120 look like fullHD from sony or yi... next con in this price i hope gopro use OIS, but now and x3000 is still better (in day light we see gopro is "better" but in lower light we see much of blur from movements) and the worst gopro EIS is VERY fast so it skipping in clips and flowing like a EIS from yi (of course BOSS is the best but it is OIS+EIS). I'm wainting for answer yi and sony, but i'm sure it will crush gopro.

@drdimento 7 лет назад

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 !!!

@DavidNiedbala 7 лет назад

Dr Dimento hows the battery life?

@drdimento 7 лет назад

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.

@drdimento 7 лет назад

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 !!!

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.

@BradsDrones 7 лет назад

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 :)

@joshpit2003 7 лет назад

@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.

@vivealexcheng 7 лет назад

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.

@joshpit2003 7 лет назад

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.

@Dynaolsson 6 лет назад

The only thing gopro does that beats the yi, is better stabilisation imo. And even then it still cuts away 12% of the image to do it. The colors are turned up to the max, looking almost like a disney movie. I'd rather do the coloredits myself in post. (with a flat image that is not blown out and therefore holds more information) Sharper image on the Yi..hands down. The Yi does not overheat and has about the same battery life, often longer. The Yi is MUCH cheaper, and so is the extra parts for it. Considering the Yi has been on the market for quite some time now, competing with the 5black, the hero6 performance is mighty dissapointing for that price tbh none of them suck tho, but in this case cheaper does not mean less of a camera. If you don't want to pay for a brand name that is.

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.

Small mistake, you compare birates from Hero6 and Yi 4K+ but you forgot that Gopro is a H265 compressor camera and Yi 4K+ a H264 only. H265 is better quality but more compressed, it's because bitrate is lower on the gopro !

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.

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.

@rerdmann 7 лет назад

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.

@TechnoBabble 6 лет назад

I'm a little late to the party here but I just want to point out how terrible the 2.7k 120fps on you GoPro looks. The bitrate/compression profile is so bad that it might as well be 720p. And the 1080p 240fps has some compression artifacts. I have a feeling the GoPro is using H.265 simply as a selling point, it doesn't look like the processor inside can actually handle a high enough encoding profile to make a difference over higher bitrate H.264.

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?

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?

@KirillTaraday 7 лет назад

Hm... H6 image looks like bit overexposed, anyway, you motivate me buy this piece of high-tech)) Good stabilization, this is what I was lacking in helmet cam. Thank you for the video =). I own yi4K, it was interesting to see them in comparison.

No doubt GoPro gonna win this. yi4k+ only has a very little upgrade from yi4k, yi4k is even more vibrant than the 4k+. The only good thing on yi4k+ is its sharpness and framerate. While Hero6 added a lot from Hero5. Though, I still wanted to know how long the Hero6 could shoot because on yi4k, it really has a very long battery life.

Thank you for the great videos. I bought a YI 4k+ because of the dump truck sharpness and the cooler less saturated colors. I use it to record DLG rc gliders. Dumb question...If I record in 8x slow motion do I multiply my video time by 25% to get the actual real time of my video and flight times?

@gavlatennis2824 6 лет назад

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 6 (and 7) looks like several generations ahead of 4K. This is a no contest. Who would like those shaky videos? Basically a fake EIS on YI. As a customer, i'd no doubt choose Gopro with all those features like GPS, voice. auto rotate, 240fps, waterproof, audio noise removal. Very easy extra money spent. #NoContest

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!

I'm gnna stick with my yi 4k+ we can MOD our yi 4k+.. there has been videos of 400 Mb/s instead 135, or higher FPS rates ( check reddit )

The blue saturated color that the GoPRo6 produces is so so unacceptable, almost ridiculus 06:59. Is it the sun outside that windows or a blue moon on a Star Wars episode? More like a mosquito / fly blue killer light to me. The same is valid in some night footage I have seen while someone is driving his car. The lights of the car become so bluish withing GoPRo 6 footage. I cant belive that this is more "usuable shot" even if so much saturated.... Really cant think of a valid criteria to say so. Thanks

Well geez. Let's compare. 5:30. Let's cut them both to 1/4 of the source.. 30fps vs 15fps.. If you compare slowmo, atleast cut them both to the same framerate, and not both the same percentage? 🤦

@emeraldproductions5187 6 лет назад

Can anyone who has this camera tell me, can shutter speed be changed for video to match fps? Example, 1/60 for 30 fps, 1/120 for 60 fps.....thank you.

@outolempinimi5165 7 лет назад

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.
