Good afternoon to all readers and writers of Muska. With my today's review, I would like to touch upon a topic that is interesting for many who first encountered the choice of accessories for action cameras.
Everyone knows perfectly well about the good price / quality ratio of Xiaomi Yi cameras, about its interesting potential and scripts that allow you to squeeze all the juices out of the camera and about it. a rather meager default configuration... The delivery set is quite ascetic - a camera, a cable for charging / connecting with a computer and in an extended version of a monopod. Therefore, you will have to buy everything that is missing for your own money. Let's try to calculate with you how much (of course, somewhere it is cheaper, somewhere more expensive) all this will pour out and in general what mounts exist (necessary and not so). Anyone interested in asking for a review.
This mount, as the manufacturer assures us, "is ideal for skiing, cycling, kayaking and skydiving." The material of the mounts themselves is ABS plastic, the straps stretch well and are adjustable in height. At the time of purchase cost $ 4.62.Since the seller's website contains good pictures of the product itself, and they correspond to the copy that came to me, I will allow you to attach them here:

Where do I use this mount? And I use it while cycling, as a video recorder. Due to the fact that I have only one in stock, I had to resort to a small "collective farm" to provide constant power to the camera for long (more than 3-4 hours) rides. The essence of the modernization was to organize the fastening (if anyone is interested in my copy of efficiency of about 70%) with a nominal capacity of 2100mah to the "bib". Initially, I planned to glue Velcro onto a stretching strap, but I rejected this idea as unviable.
original version
In the future, I glued Velcro-Velcro to the lower mounting platform, and the counterpart - to the power bank.

pros this mount:
- a fairly stable video picture (no jerking, such as on a head mount);
- complete absence of discomfort when using (sometimes I even forget about it while cycling);
- the possibility of collective farming and doping.
Cons did not reveal for myself. This mount allows you to mount the camera on your head. The material of the fasteners, according to the seller, is ABS-plastic, the material of the "straps" is elastic nylon (which, in principle, is true, at least elastic for sure, there is even a mesh, apparently, so that the head does not sweat). There is an adjustment for different head diameters and seat height. At the time of purchase cost $ 2.29.

pros:
- provides greater mobility in terms of shooting compared to a chest mount (the head is easier to "turn" than the chest).
Minuses:
- the picture is less stable;
- the feeling of the presence of attachment "on the body" (there is some discomfort);
- can fly off your head while swimming, for example in a water park.
Here is what the manufacturer writes about this.
Yunteng C-088 is a telescopic monopod designed for active life enthusiasts, made of durable alloy. Its compact size makes it very travel friendly and fits into most backpacks, suitcases, handbags and carry-on luggage. The telescopic monopod expands your camera's shooting capabilities by capturing unique angles. This monopod model is universal, can be extended and fixed to any length from 31 to 81 cm, has a standard 1/4 "tripod screw.

Pros:
- quite compact (about 30cm when folded);
- lightweight (about 200 g);
- allows you to increase your height by almost 90 centimeters =) or crawl into hard-to-reach places;
- there is a 1/4 "female hole for converting into a" tripod "by connecting to the data;
- there is a holder for selfie lovers;
- withstands the weight of a nikon d7100 SLR (765 grams) + nikkor 16-85 (485 grams), does not bend when folded, and has a bend when fully unfolded (physics cannot be fooled).
Minuses:
- the handle, unlike yunteng 188, is not rubberized, but made of a material resembling foam rubber.
Although it does not become unusable in water (or it may simply not be worn out yet), rubber, in my opinion, is still more pleasant.

As for this mount, in my opinion, the thing is very specific and its main a plus in compactness and invisibility (when compared with the chest and head mount)
By itself, the camera in the box does not go to the bottom and pops up normally. Therefore, the main benefit of this float is that it is bright and relatively large, which makes it easy to identify the camera at sea in case of its loss. There is nothing more to add here. On a trip to the sea, definitely take. Bought for $1.68 .float photo

Alas, I haven't been to the sea this year yet, so the video from YouTube
Repeatedly reviewed here on Muska. Price at the time of purchase $1.68
- Dimensions 165 x 35 x35mm,
- weight no more than 50 grams.
In general, it has a rather flimsy design and there can be no talk of any declared 250 grams of load. My phone ZTEv975 (150 grams) + (30 grams) + yunteng tripod adapter (viewed above) no longer holds - the head of the mini tripod falls off. For the Xiaomi camera, the Yi fits perfectly in terms of weight loads, but needs "doping"- because of the short threaded hole in the camera body, it is better to put two (bare camera) or one (camera in) washer on the mini tripod thread. Then the camera will be firmly fixed on the "head" of the mini-tripod.

Despite all the disadvantages and flimsy of the device, I am sure that it is simply irreplaceable if you need to hang the camera, for example, on a tree branch, on a fence, chandelier, or door handle. Therefore, thanks to this product, the functionality of the camera attachment increases many times over.
7. Self-adhesive pads and practical experience
These pads are used to mount on a flat flat surface or a flat curved surface (for example, a bicycle or motorcycle helmet) using the supplied 3m double-sided tape. At the time of purchase, 2 straight and 2 curved platforms cost me $1.55photo sites
Since I don't have a helmet for a bicycle and I grossly violate TB in this regard, I used these sites for a slightly different purpose:
- mounting the camera on the timer:
What is it for? This is necessary to get not the usual static
8. Adapters for using the above-mentioned mounts
So that there are no problems with the use (namely, compatibility) of mounts and cameras, I recommend purchasing several adapters that will greatly facilitate your life:1.
.
general form
This is perhaps the most important component that you need to buy to adapt your camera to the mounts. I recommend taking several adapters at once (I have 3 for example). This saves time on rearranging them (adapters) from mount to mount. I would also like to point out one nuance. Due to the short threaded hole in the camera, I recommend placing a washer under the adapter threads. The camera will not "wobble" and will be correctly positioned relative to the subject. Adapter cost at the time of purchase $0,68
Well, that's probably all that I wanted to tell you in this review. The total cost of all the above-described goods is slightly more $29 ... If we add an aqua box and a silicone case here - about $40 .
I hope the review was helpful for someone. All presented goods were bought for honestly earned and rapidly rising in price $. All good, interesting and useful shopping.

Having ordered a camera, the next order I issued a couple of mounts and a spare battery. The unpacking video will be at the end of the article, there is also the identification of the shortcomings of the mounts.
1. Let's consider in more detail and start with batteries:
The battery was packed in a bright package, the box is apparently universal for different types batteries. On the packaging, the main advantages are: "No memory effect", "fast charging" and "long battery life" 
The dimensions "by eye" are similar to those of the "native" battery, but when you insert and remove it from the camera, you feel that it is a little larger. We insert the battery, turn on the camera, the camera turns on and works successfully. 
The battery has been charged, and the camera indicator glows blue, indicating that the battery is more than 50% charged. 
Batteries Li-ion, 3.7V, declared capacity 1010 mAh or 3.7Wh, all parameters are the same as those indicated on the "original" battery.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to fully charge / discharge with video recording and measure the duration, but in real work I did not notice the difference with the "original". Charged from the USB port of the computer for about 3 hours.
On back side there is a "tongue" for removing the battery from the camera and duplicated the main characteristics. 
The photo shows that the battery is not assembled very neatly (the stickers fall off), but this is not particularly important - the main thing is that it works and the price, sorry, $ 3.
2. Let's go to testing mountings
Let's start with "Monopod mounts", so i plan to use it. Using it, I planned to attach a waterproof case with a camera to a monopod. But I never ordered the case ... 
We unpack, everything looks just fine: the plastic is super, glossy, strong, there is a screw for fastening, and also with a nut!
On the underside, everything is also fine, the internal thread is deep, it is perfectly fixed on the monopod, it does not turn. Mounting diameter 32 mm. 
We try to fix the mount with a screw: twist, twist ... and it does not fix! ( 
There is not enough screw thread length.
Why they put such a screw into the complement is not clear. Or something I don't understand ...
As for the rest, the mount is excellent; you can use it to mount the camera in the box and shoot in the water. 
3. Go to "Arm mount"
This mount is no worse than the previous one in terms of plastic quality, there is no tightening screw in the kit. 
The kit consists of a platform, swivel fasteners and Velcro. The mount itself can be rotated 360 degrees and can be locked in any position using the LOCK latch. 
The total length of the Velcro is 30 cm (of which 10 cm is the part that clings) 
On one side, the Velcro is attached to a plastic mount. The Velcro is stitched securely and neatly.
On this photo fastening in a "fixed" position. 
The inner surface is plastic, in the photo of the store's website, the back surface is covered with an overlay. 
I am satisfied with the “hand” mount, but when ordering, I forgot to order an adapter for it to mount on the camera. You can buy a small aluminum mount, a case, or a cheap plastic mount: 
Since time was lost, it was decided to look offline. After wandering around the shops it was found DVR mount perfect for Xiaomi camera, since it has a mount ¼. 
For ordered mounts, only the upper part is required. We unscrew and disassemble the mount. 
The required mount has been found! Great, we try to screw in the screw - it doesn't work, we bore the holes with a file - the mount is ready! 
Installing the camera. 
We attach the camera to the forearm. In this position, the camera does not really interfere, but if you fix it on your shoulder, it is natural that your hand is pinched and using the camera is very difficult.
I tried to shoot a video, fastening it on my shoulder, while flying on a quadra. Due to the large viewing angle of the camera, the equipment and the surrounding environment enter the right corner, an interesting picture is obtained. Unfortunately, I "filled up" the horizon and will not post such a video. In this regard, I plan to find and glue on the camera a small level that is used in cheap tripods. General form hand-held camera: 
Unlock "LOCK" with a slight movement of your hand, immediately turn the camera and you're done: 
In conclusion, I would like to say that despite all the shortcomings, the mounts are very interesting, of high quality and affordable. I recommend to all GoPro and Xiaomi Yi owners!
