Xiaomi Yi Upgraded Microphone Mod
This is a walkthrough of the modification I made to the Xiaomi Yi HD Sports Action Camera to swap out the stock microphone for a better one. This is most useful for quadcopter/drone/multirotor pilots who need better audio from the Yi for their video capture. I hope that by sharing this, many other pilots who use the Y i can benefit and improve their video footage. The actual replacement microphones are literally like $2.00 for 18 of them: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/18-Pieces-Mini-MIC-Capsule-Electret-Condenser-Microphone-9-7x6-7mm-HY-/191878476636 Or search for "Electret Condenser 9.7x6.7mm"
