The Yi 4K action camera with 4K video recording support is available for Rs. 17,990. While the GoPro Hero 5 comes with IP certification making it water proof, the Yi 4K action camera has to be used with a waterproof case. Talking about the Yi security cameras, they all come with smart features and the pricing starts from just Rs. 2,990. Yi has skipped launching the Yi M1 Mirrorless digital camera which costs $350 (approx Rs. 22,500) in India.
