Live Stream Video with Yi 4k Camera

The Yi 4k ($169) and Yi 4k+ ($299) allow you to stream directly to Facebook or YouTube without the need for a dedicated encoder or smart device running an app (other than initial setup). All that is needed is a 4G MiFi or a 4G hotspot (such as your Race Capture display tablet).
