Card arrives and it is rather good! Ive found an English version of the manual (not that it helps much.. charming translation http://files.xiaomi-mi.com/files/yi-sport-camera/y... and an English version of the App which is a bit flakey but works! http://www.diyphotography.net/unofficial-ios-app-f...

All good fun; Spielberg watch out!
