About

This project wouldn’t be possible without the work of irungentoo and ddimensia. Please go support their work in whatever way you can.

Supported Devices

This is a project to combine the work that both of the aforementioned developers have done into one singular repository for the Xiaomi Yi 4k Action Camera (serial number: z16v13lb622) on firmware 1.10.9.

I have no intention of testing this project on other cameras or firmwares. So if you decide to try this out on other firmware, user beware of unknown bugs.
