Title: Solid camera (Compared to GoPro Hero 10)
Review: I have a GoPro hero 10 and I bought this camera just to have for personal use. I really don’t know a great deal about cameras and all the technical terms and functions but I do know a little just from using the GoPros that I have had in the past and I can say for the money this camera is worth the money. In a side by side comparison of the Hero 10 and this unit the quality of video is greater from the GoPro there is no denying that but when you compare it $ for $ and look at what you get with this unit and all the extras that you need to buy with the GoPro if you want for example better audio by connecting a shotgun mic or wireless mics then you need the media mod for the GoPro, where as with this unit I was able to connect a wired mic to the USB-C port using a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter one that would typically allow you to connect wired headphones to a USB-C type smartphone. That being said I have a set of wireless mics that allow for the mics to be set into slave and master modes and then I connect the master into the adapter and then to the camera and I was able to enhance the sound. I usually record mostly in 1080 HD for a couple of reason because 1) I record with my GoPro at the same time and I record with my GoPro at 5K and 5K takes up a lot more space than 1080p on a disk or streaming them from my server to my devices it takes longer to load or download etc. 2) The AKASO doesn’t really shoot in 4K in my opinion because the clarity is just not there if you look at the side by side with an actual 4K video from the GoPro it’s not even comparable. This would be my only criticism of the unit but it isn’t a deal breaker for me and it may in fact shoot at 4k but maybe it is the FPS like I said I am not an expert with cameras I’m a layman so my reasoning my be off but the quality is nevertheless in the favor of the GoPro. I do like how the camera comes with 2 batteries and a charging bank that’s nice it has many of tripod accessories and mounting hardware adapters, I also personally love how the camera will record and not stop until it either runs out of battery or you shut it off. The camera is a bit light in weight but it has proven rather durable because my 2-3 year old has gotten ahold of it many times over the last year and he is hard on anything this camera being no exception but it has had no problems and I can’t say the same for my GoPro it is in fact no longer functioning as the camera had some type of short circuit or something to that effect involving the battery and it died so the AKASO has outlived my hero 10 and the hero 10 never had any contact with the baby so I don’t know what happened with it but the AKASO has been solid.

Title: Good value for beginners
Review: As a first time action cammer, I took this on my first hike. Im surprised how well it did especially with the low price point. I took videos, pics, selfies to try out all the features and configure accordingly. These are my first impressions.-amazing amount of attachments. Wow.-easiness to come figure.-initial photos showed a color bar on the right edge, then went away after a while. Weird…but was easy enough to crop.-the front display is a bit too small often having to squint. Get a 4 pro or upper models.- the manual front/rear display switching process (hold UP button for few seconds) can get tedious if you do it a lot. The remote should have a switch to toggle display. Would be so good.- remote works well with photo and video buttons. Just need display change button.- construction is light but expected at this price point. But the internal electronics seems to work well.- videos and photos look pretty good. I took duplicate recordings/pics with my Samsung S23 ultra phone just case. Lol.- camera wifi to phone. If using to download your larger mov recordings, do the usb c direct connect to your computer for editting. The wifi down loading to phone is SLOW using the app.So overall good, I figured out a lot of tips and tricks. I also bought 3 extra larger capacity batteries (generic brand).Next: use some more for durability testing. Now planning to get the Brave 7 with a larger display and mild waterproof version.

Title: It does the job
Review: My first impression, the product is cleverly packaged and includes lots of parts. The diving case looks nice. The camera looked unimpressive, smaller than I expected. I did not want a wired camera , and this one is battery powered and spare batteries with charger are available. The only included parts I really found useful are the handlebar mount and the outer holder that an aftermarket succiona cup car mount attaches to. I would have preferred that this mount be included instead of all the odd pieces that I likely will never need. It would make this camera more versatile.The good, after going through all the settings, on the small screen I went for a ride in my car. I set the camera at 4k . I also set it for continuous recording , no loops.I was pleasantly surprised when I put the card in , my computer and looked at the recorded video. It was clear, in focus , and the motion was smooth. That’s the money shoot.So, this camera does perform and the price is good.BTW if you are looking for a wired camera for car use check out the Rover R2 its bigger and has good fit and finish..

Review: Me sorprendió su calidad de imagen, e incluso de sonido bajo el agua.El kit es muy completo con todos los accesorios que incluye.La carcasa hermética, funciona a la perfección debajo del agua.Obviamente existen mejores modelos, incluso de la misma marca, pero si te vas a iniciar en videos acuáticos, empieza por algo normal como es esta cámara, y ya iras subiendo cuando lo tengas dominado.

Review: I wanted a little waterproof video camera to record video and take photos on my motorbike. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, but wanted semi-decent video and images. So far this little beauty has exceeded my expectations. I’m a bit of a geek by nature and film a lot of videos (underwater), so I have a fair idea of what is good and what is not…I’ve had the camera for a few days now and my initial impressions are:- Quality seems excellent. I really only need to shoot in 1080p (4K is really too large for most purposes) and having 60fps is desirable, the right boxes are ticked already.- Video stabilization is essential on the motorbike, and this little camera does an excellent job with the footage.- The remote control is very useful and functional. I’ve attached it to the handle-bars, so I can easily stop and start recording video…PLUS, if you are recording video, you can hit the photo button on the remote and it takes a 20MP photo without interrupting the video. This is so useful for taking quick pictures of lovely scenes and still get the video you want- The camera has loads of different functions, so easy to change resolution, go to Underwater Mode, take burst shots, loop your video and take time-lapse (see example video)- It comes with a large range of including mounting options and accessories. I’ve easily attached it to my motorbike, securely, without having to purchase anything additional- It comes with two batteries and a charger that charges both batteries at the same timeI honestly can’t believe how good value this is, highly recommended,

Review: The video quality is exceptional over all the resolutions; however the picture quality is not up to the mark and consists of a lot of grains . Would rate this cam 8/10
