Xiaomi YI Camera Power User Accessories Pack Review: UNBOXING

This power user accessories pack costs just below $40 and it is a pretty good bang for your buck considering the overall package you are getting.

What you are getting in the packaging includes an external display, a generous 2400mAh external battery, a waterproof casing, some mounting brackets and the micro USB cable.

Mounting the camera inside the waterproof case is easy. The case lock is made of plastic but it does look like it’s going to break any time soon.

The last items that are included are a few mounting brackets and they are pretty much self-explanatory.

Xiaomi YI Camera Power User Accessories Pack Review: CONCLUSIONS

So there you have it, the power user accessories pack for the Xioami YI camera. For under $40 you are getting two essential upgrades – the display and a generous external battery. They are both easy to install and remove it and so far everything works very well.

Also, there is another essential piece – the waterproof housing, which allows you to use the camera underwater. You can do it either without any accessories attached to the camera or with the LCD display,  or with the external battery. I’ve tested it several times underwater already and I have no complaints about it.

All in all, this accessory pack is an ideal upgrade to your Xiaomi YI camera and since everything has worked fine during my testing time, I believe it is worth the price of $40.
