The VIRB 360 is a great action camera and has a lot of features that the Yi 360 VR doesn’t have, however I was surprised to discover that the Yi often shoots better quality video despite being much cheaper.

I shot with both cameras in the same locations and combined the videos together. I have a post featuring a detailed comparison between the Yi 360 VR and the VIRB 360, but here’s a video comparison I created between the two. Comparison with VIRB 360Īs mentioned before, the Yi 360 is one of two 360 cameras that can shoot at 5.7K resolution, the other is the Garmin VIRB 360. Looking good still!Īnd finally a tiny planet to round things off. Here’s another screenshot from the same video. The colors and brightness in particular are extremely good for a 360 video, with little overexposure or over-saturation common with most other 360 cameras. This image is a screenshot from a video shot with the Yi 360 VR, and it’s probably the best video I’ve seen from this camera. I grabbed some screenshots from this video to take a closer look. These screenshots are taken from a video shot with the Yi 360. Remember the Yi 360 is one of the only camera capable of shooting a 360 time-lapse at a resolution this high. The lighting and location make for an excellent video and the quality looks stunning even at lower resolutions. I do love a 360 time lapse, and this is one of the best I’ve seen.

Most are shot at the full 5.7K resolution unless otherwise stated. Some of these are my own videos and a few are from other users around the world. Lets take a look at some of the video shot with the Yi 360 VR that has been released over the past few months. The camera can auto-stitch at 4K resolution. This is an extra step in the overall workflow and it can take sometime, however the end result is a much better overall image with less stitching errors.

You can also use dedicated stitching programs like Mettal Skybox for Premiere Pro or Autopano Video Pro.

This means that when you shoot in 5.7K, you’ll be left with two separate video files which you’ll have to stitch together using the free desktop software provided by Yi. While 5.7K resolution is the headline feature of the Yi 360 VR, you should be aware that while the camera can shoot 360 video at this resolution, it cannot stitch it together. There are a few other video modes however: The headline feature of the Yi 360 VR is no doubt its ability to shoot 5.7K 360 video, and that’s what most people will use it for. On one side of the camera you’ll find the power/shutter/select button and on the other a door which houses the charging port, battery, SD card and HDMI port.

The rectangular body features one lens at the front back back, with a small LCD screen at the top along with some basic control buttons. The Yi 360 VR is one of the larger 360 cameras I’ve tested, but is by no means huge. You’ll also get a USB C charging cable and an instruction manual. The build quality of both of these free accessories is pretty decent and the tripod especially is one of the better ones I’ve seen. As with most 360 cameras the Yi comes packed with a dedicated mini-tripod and a case for carrying the camera, both essential. Unboxing the Yi 360 VR doesn’t reveal many surprises.

Stabilization software has also been added to the Yi via an update using the Accelerometer and Gyrometer the Yi can keep the horizon on 360 videos straight. When Yi 360 was first announced, I believe the livestream feature was limited to 2.5K, but Facebook recently upgraded their 360 livestreaming service to allow for 4K livestreaming, so its no wonder that the livestream feature received a boost as it allows the company to use Facebook branded marketing. Apart from the impressive video resolution, what else is there to get excited about? Well for a start, the camera can livestream in 4K, which is among the best of any 360 camera out now.
