Xiaomi Mijia Mi Sphere Review: 4K 2018 Update

the 4k is interpolated? So how can be better??

No where is this camera near $200 it's on amazon for $300 and your own link is $300 plus

Good re-review. I couldn’t agree more. The changes they have made are really well done and with the price it’s a home run.

What mini tripod do you have in this video?

I used the Xiaomi Sphere in my last Vacation (Skiing) and had a few problems:
It seems I had a firmware issue: (At first I still believed it was an issue with the cold)
* Videorecording stop sometimes suddenly and restarted after a few seconds.
* Sometimes the camera turned itself of completely while recording.
* The restarted videos often had a skewed horizon.
* Firmware update finaly work after doing it manually. (Since that update I have not had any further issues, but I am still testing.)

While skiing it was a real ordeal to get the phone,out gloves off, to connect to the camera and start/stop recordings. In the End I started the camera without the phone and cut the begining and end phase from the result.
Stabilization is not perfect. Sudden Movements still show up prominently. I used Cyberlinks Powerdirector for secondary stabilization but that often reduces details and sharpness (and sadly the software does not support horizon leveling).
That said, I was still pleased with the results, it was just more work than expected and it was annoying that very few runs were without issues. In hindsight I just had bad luck that the firmware issue happened while I was on vacation. The camera seems to operate normaly now.

Hello
In gearbest product page there is nothing about raw files and bracketing!!!!

Would that tripod mount (because the camera is so thin) be strong enough to enable attachment to a tube clamp, so that it can be used on a motorcycle at 100kmh or so?

what about the battery, is it wasteful?

If I hadn’t seen the GoPro Fusion, I would love this , but I have.

Not quite sure about differences in the markets, but when I look it up here, the Xiaomi Mijia 360 in Gearbest it cost 1.5x that of Amazon and 2.5x that of Aliexpress. So I really wonder what makes you say that this stuff is usually the best buy at Gearbest?

Really interested in this camera. If I wanted to photograph a room, can the app be used to control and shoot bracketed shots remotely? So I'd set the camera up in the middle of the room, hide out sight and then use the app to shoot 3 brackets?

How long can a single clip be? I'm interested in leaving this recording for about an hour... would it handle that?

Hi would you rate the Ricoh Theta V over the Xiaomi miija sphere. Views seem to mixed

With stabilization on, does the camera always face the starting direction (east / west / etc...)? Or can you make it always face forward by default, or focus on an object (face the handlebars)? I want an action cam for mountain biking but don't want the added complexity / weight of a gimbal. However I'd rather not go back through each video and tell the video where to aim in post production...

Hi, regarding to your software update, is it just APK update? or you need to use USB connect to PC, use software to update the firmware within the Mi Sphere?

Hi Do I have to pay duty fee if I order this camera from your link?

Can it do time-lapse video at 1s intervals?

"Si ow mi" not jiaomi !

Help, keep getting error, "couldn't download" using android app, can anyone help?

Does is work while charging

I would like to know how you treat your Xiaomi images to make them out in a beautiful quality? Thank you for your attention thank you, full of success.

Does it has follow object function like rylo or insta 360??

Hi can you tell me if the camera can be used with all type of phones?
I have an huawei

Is it better than recoh theta v ??

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you!

Is this a new camera or the same (original) Xiaomi Mi Sphere but with a software update.
If it's a newer version of camera, how does one know?
Are there model numbers or serial numbers to show?
And will this newer camera work with the remote control module?

Would be curious to know how it stacks up for stills against the Insta360 One X...

The stitching and exposure on the first photo you shown in the video is pretty bad, you can see the line in the sky where the photo was stitched and the building is all mushed up where the photos intersect. This shouldn't happen on a camera specifically made for 360 photos.

How long does it take to charge I've been charging well over 3 hours from getting it out of the box

Hello - Where can I download a still 360 image from this camera so I can experiment with it on my monitor?

Gee, Xiaomi a $20B dollar company who is the world's L-A-R-G-E-S-T manufacturer of smart phones in the world and you never heard of it... They make parts for both Apple and Android devices as well as tonnes of other gear include cars. Don't get out much eh?

Looks like SVGA quality to me.

how about recording loud music concert? does the audio sound like crap?

His face looks like it's stuck between the two cameras with the bad stitching

How bout upclose footage?

Mine doesn't have stabilization, and I just bought it month ago, firmware update current, why is mine different

And I cannot pair ca,mera with my iPhone x, it on,y works on my galaxy tab s4

Is 4K in the latest update?

I bought about 1 year. now I can't start the wifi can't be connected....very disappointing

Hello, i have this camera recently the photos looks amazing in the app but when I download them and watch on the computer, the quality seems to lose. What can i do to get the best quality at the time to export? What you recomend?

Where the updates firmware updates or new hardware version?

The first few seconds I honestly though you were the Sherminator from the American Pie series.

At 3.5K or 4K I get haisy abd blurry videos.
I don't know how you got crisp and sharp videos.
May be review units have different internals.

Can I use this cam like a webcam?
