@valdi99 - no, the still is a JPEG straight out of the camera, then resized in Photoshop - 25% of original size. Does anyone know if there's a listing of changes to firmware? I know the latest version supports 2k, but I'm curious to know what the stock bit rate is...

@mrbil - looks fantastic! Any postprocessing involved? Is it still from video or RAW or jpg?

BTW, there is new fw 1.2.12 to download from http://www.xiaoyi.com/update/sports?lang=es-es with official 2K. However bitrates has to be increased on your own.

Looks good to me, unless you don't plan to film some closer objects.

Yes, stills.

@mrbill - can't say... Some people say around 1.2m but it was hard to focus on that distance. So I just turn the lens clockwise, couple of times - but for VERY little amount each time (1mm, or better less), taking pictures and checking it (zoomed on PC screen) on every turn. I repeated that routine as long as my results where satisfying - all in focus, from about 45cm to infinity. I ended up turning my lens for about 1.5mm from stock position (glued there). So remove the front cover, than the glue spot, and turn your lens really "just a bit" - not much and check everytime. After several tries you will be fine.

2K bitrates are index 6-8

Thanks JOFO, I realized that later, but had some problems while uploading customized fw. Anyway, it worked finally ;)

No, just sent it twice, but can't delete...

Fixed

I'm using this script to record as flat as possible and it's realy great what could be done with this little gem.. I'm using customised fw 1.2.11d2 and this script (without bitrate change lines as I've set bitrates in fw). I'm recording in 2K

First of all refocus your lens - if you haven't done it yet. For any scripts browse the Dashcamtalk forum. Attached here is one of the best for video - written for FW 1.2.6, so check your FW version first.

@morbil - its quite impressive toy - especially when using custom fw or some improvements (and people still work on it). Even with a stock firmware it competes very well with GoPro

Had mine for a week now, and have experimented with increased bit rate and re-focusing the lens. I would have to say anybody expecting GoPro Hero4 levels of resolution is going to be disappointed. I notice there's a fair bit of interest in this as a stills camera, which I haven't tried and so can't comment, but for video, it's a toy at the end of the day.

Any external USB/5v battery will do. However, it is better to remove internal one in this case, just to avoid overheating (while charging and filming at the same time).
