anybody tried yi m1 with Viltrox EF-M2 (cheap but nice speedboster)? With for example Sigma 18-35 1.8, Canon 50 1,8 - it could be great and cheap package.

It will be great also to create somewhere place, forum for users m1 - maybe someone can make hack for this camera (for exampe 4K 60 fps could be nice + bitrate mod)

@samuelcabral

Actually unpacking/repacking is almost done (yet not completely)

Just need developer with some time

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Who is working on that? The only guy i knew said that the project is dead.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev - maybe you can add button and make donation for somebody who can make such thing (hack)?

its been discontinued apparently on B&H, and according to sources in China there will not be a 2nd generation since Yi Tech is moving toward cloud and AI cameras.

How much would it cost for someone to hack the firmware and remove the 4k 7.29 minutes/4gb recording limit ( and possibly the 30 minutes recording limit in all video modes) ? Maybe we can make a fund raiser and donate the sum asked for the work. I will if offered and i am sure there are enough people who would do it also.

There are 2 groups on facebook, one has 12k members, the official one, and another one has round 870 members. Since support is out, maybe posting a poll about hacking the camera to remove the limit in 4k a job that the company should of done would not hurt. But for this a price quota qould be necessary and a person able and willing to do it.

I would donate for a firmware mod. I read in the comments of the yi firmware tools someone said "Flashed the recompressed 3.2 firmware today, everything is working fine." As well as " Decompression and compression have been validated and work correctly."

Does that mean now someone has to just modify the values like bitrate and reflash firmware? How would one find these values?
