Xiaomi announced the Mijia Mini 4K Action Camera a
fortnight ago. This is not Xiaomi’s first action camera as it has a bunch
released under the Xiaoyi brand name. However this is the second camera
released under the Mijia name, as there is also a Mijia dash camera.
The Mijia Mini 4K Action Camera is priced at ¥ 699 (US$ 107) on the official Mi store but since most people outside China
can only purchase from third-party resellers, they have to pay a bit more.
The Mijia 4K Action Camera has a 2.4-inch display.
It has a Sony IMX317 sensor with a 1.62um pixel size and a 145º viewing angle.
Its f/2.8 aperture makes it possible to shoot pin-sharp footages under
low-light. The camera can record 4K videos in 30fps. It can also record
time-lapse and slow-mo videos. And with its 6-axis stabilization (3-axis
gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer) you can be assured of a steady footage.
There is a 1450 mAh battery that can record 2 hours
of 4K video or 3 hours of 1080p videos. Connectivity is via Bluetooth or WiFi
and it has a microSD card slot that can accept a maximum storage capacity of
64GB. Do note that the camera won’t ship until after September 16 when the
pre-sale period would have been over.
