Xiaomi YI, has been creating buzz ever since the day it was released. This tiny, low-budget camera gave a headache to all of its competitors by providing excellent value for its low-price. You can read my full review of this camera here.
However, one of the reasons why YI has a very low price tag is lack of accessories inside the package. YI camera comes pretty bare-boned. Inside the box, you get an USB charger, manual (on Chinese) and a selfie stick if you bought a travel version.
Oh yeah, you are probably here because you bought this powerful fella, aren’t you?
Then you know that additional accessories that come inside a box are non-existent.
But do not worry. In the beginning, it was hard to find any original Xiaomi YI gear, but now, with the sales booming, manufacturer released bunch of accessories. Additionally, lots of other companies produce mounts ,screws and even waterproof cases that are compatible with this camera.
In this article, I would like to give you the most extensive list of Xiaomi YI accessories.

Is the adapter compatible with gopro mounts?
Camera has 1/4″ screw hole, so its compatible with whatever can fit that. For GoPro mounts, you need an adapter.
Hi,
I do have a problem. I’m using e original waterproof case. I recorded some videos & snap photos while in a swimming pool, only about 1.5m deep. Now the problem is when I tried to view it on my tablet via otg, all videos & photos taken during the swim are not there! Its strange cos all e videos taken before & after e swim are there, none lost. Even e file numbering sequence proves so.
Hope I didnt missing out anything. Is there anyone out there facing this problem? Googled hard for info but none found. Would gladly appreciate any help.
Don’t view the files in a tablet or phone. Your phone and tablet do have separate Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) which may conflict to naming folders since your Yi Cam also have separate DCIM. Recommend to view the files in a computer.
Can the remote control multiple cameras? Like the remote off the gopro? Or do you know if there is an alternative.
PS: great revieuws.
No, you can’t. I saw something here, but really do not know if it will work.
