AKASO Brave 7 LE Action Camera, IPX7 Waterproof Navitve 4K 20MP WiFi Sports Camera with Touch Screen, EIS 2.0 Remote Control Underwater 40M Cam with 2X 1350mAh Batteries

Update after more than a year of use The camera may be old but, after a year of use, I decided to update the review because I actually grew very fond of it. The camera offers an amazing value for money and a rich set of features. The other positive reviews cover the gist. It is very reliable and well made. I never had any issue with it and it survived a couple of hard falls at speed on tarmac. During daylight, the video is clear even at the low resolutions and the colours bright and pleasant. Lots of settings to play with and get the desired results whether it's video, photos or slow mo etc. The killer feature for me were the two batteries and the dual charger. That would give me more than two full hours of solid video recording, which matters to me. It also comes with an extensive set of mounts and adapters covering very different uses. It's also easy to attache it on some gopro mounts which was useful for me as I had a set of 3d printed custom mounts and the transition was seamless. For the record, I had two complains: One was solved after a bit of experimentation and it was that I would often stop the camera unknowingly by touching the screen. I figured out that when you have lock enabled AND start the recording with the button instead works perfectly as it will only stop the recording by pressing the button. The second was that it would lose the date/time when left without batteries an issue. This may be solved by their support, in which case I will update. Finally, the communications I had with the company regarding had been top quality indicative of a top notch support.

Great value camera..my second Akaso. Taken it scubs diving, cycling and snorkeling with some excellent photos. Great better value alternative to GoPro

This is a very good camera with great features at a good price. The camera is nice and soild not sure if it's made of metal but it feels like it. It turns on in one second floor which is nice and fast The image stabilisation is a must, I have my camera on top of my cycle helmet and the video is very smooth. It comes with two batteries so you never run out of power. It comes with loads of attachments to help fit it to your bike or helmet. The only negatives are the hatch for the battery compartment has foam underneath and this makes it very difficult to open and You have to use two hands and prise it open with your finger nail as it's very stiff and when in the plastic case you don't hear anything from the microphone. But it's waterproof without the case so you don't have to use it That said I am very impressed with this camera and I highly recommend it to anyone. Having used this for a while now I find it very frustrating that I cannot open the charging port door without using a knife, I have now had to cut away the waterproof pad under the door just to use it

This was bought a while back for my birthday and I've only just been able to use it.. So far, I've used the camera twice and I'm pleased with the video quality. The camera set up was relatively easy. However... It comes with a gazillion mounts and to be honest I would have preferred to pay less and have no mounts as most are of no use to me - in fact the one that I did want turned out to be of no use to me, too. The bike mount - it will only fit old diameter handlebars (25mm or less). A lot of handlebars (I'd say most) are now approx 32mm. The supplied mount won't get anywhere near that. I contacted the seller through Amazon and the only method was Live Chat which took an eternity as it seemed they only had the one agent. Their recommendation was for me to buy one of their mounts for £30! Great - somebody has just bought me a camera with more mounts than Lester Piggott but I need to buy another. No apologies for selling a mount that wouldn't fit the majority of bikes, just the above recommendation. I ended up buying a third party mount for less than £10 which, to be honest, isn't great as the mounting point on the camera is on the left edge of the base meaning the holding screw had to be really tight or the camera swings around. No matter how tight I tightened the screw, the camera swivelled. But that's the third party mount's fault... I was pleased with the video quality of the bits I recorded in between the camera spinning around. I had to buy a good SD card reader as my cheap Amazon card reader was too slow and the videos were freezing to buffer every few seconds. This would probably be the same with any camera of this quality, to be fair. I can't get the SD card out of the camera to insert into my wonderful card reader without using tweezers as it catches on the camera casing. Fortunately my wife still plucks her eyebrows rather than having the more modern caterpillars stapled to her forehead so I was able to pinch her tweezers. The camera app worked easily but didn't seem to be the same as the one on the YouTube instructional video. I don't use it anyway. So, if you buy this camera to put on your bike, you'll need to buy a mount if your handlebars are more than 25mm in diameter. Apart from that, whoever buys the camera will need a decent card reader to view the videos on a PC/laptop. And don't forget eyebrow tweezers to remove the SD card.

Una gran cámara, calidad precio inmejorable, la uso en todos mis viajes y no pensaba que fuera a funcionar debajo del agua con tanta calidad de imagen, recomendable

Super produit , un rapport qualité prix au top

Used it for snorkling. Good value.

Heel tevreden van de aankoop. Prijskwaliteit goed

Giudizio di sintesi: prodotto serio e ben fatto. Se state cercando una classica videocamera per uso generico ritengo che sia una buona scelta o addirittura ottimale nel rapporto costo/prestazioni. Cose da sapere: Per chi abbia il dubbio, il formato nativo in cui registra la videocamera è il .mov e di base è impostate per registrare in blocchi da circa 3 giga che nel massimo formato consentito (3840*2160 con 30 fotogrammi per secondo) coprono una decina abbondante di minuti. L’impostazione può essere cambiata passando a una diversa tipologia della registrazione (definita a “loop” e selezionabile a 1, 3 oppure 5 minuti: attenzione, in questo caso sovrascrive sui vecchi file una volta terminato lo spazio disponibile). Per quanto riguarda la scheda di memoria SSD Il formato supportato più capiente è dichiarato da 64 giga, classe 10. Siccome la durata d’uso massima della batteria è di circa 3 ore, grosso modo finisce prima la batteria che la capacità d’immagazzinamento dati della scheda. A favore o pregi: Estremamente compatta e solida. Interfaccia d’uso banale nella sua essenzialità. Il doppio schermo garantisce un minimo di visibilità anche in caso di autoscatti (selfie). Corredata da un set completo di accessori di ancoraggio per ogni esigenza – anche se, nel mio dettaglio personale, le staffe per la bicicletta che ho provato hanno una vite abbastanza corta che ne permettono il fissaggio al solo manubrio e non al telaio (e girando in città con la bicicletta il manubrio si muove molto più di quanto sia auspicabile per rivedere il filmato senza causare un effetto di disorientamento visivo – insomma mi era venuto il mal di stomaco - e no, non sto scherando) Contro o scomodità: La meccanica d’apertura del cassetto di scorrimento che copre le prese usb, al contrario di quello per la batteria, risulta un po’ difficile da azionare. Non viene fornito un tappo che copra l’obiettivo della videocamera L’applicazione per la connessione da cellulare, che ho testato con un telefono android di versione antecedente al rilascio della videocamera, fallisce la connessione e quindi non è utilizzabile (si, ho provato tutti gli hack indicati da molti altri utenti, inclusa la disattivazione della rete dati) Considerazioni generali: tanto la qualità delle riprese video che delle foto scattate è per lo più eccellente in condizioni ottimali, tuttavia con l’impostazione di visuale ad angolo più ampio si notano delle problematiche di messa a fuoco – che tutto sommato, non avendo in realtà provato prodotti premium delle fasce di mercato più elevate che magari hanno filtri e sistemi di gestione ottica multifocali, ritengo ampiamente ragionevoli. L’audio è limitato al microfono incorporato poiché non esistono prese esterne, personalmente non ho avuto modo di approfondire la cosa ma mi sembra comunque sufficiente a soddisfare le esigenze generiche. Per altro, soprattutto in questo caso mi sorge spontanea un’osservazione: se dovete fare riprese di tipo professionale che magari coinvolgono addirittura personale fonico dedicato, è evidente che fareste meglio a rivolgere la vostra attenzione a prodotti di fascia, ovvero costo, maggiore. A me sembra un ottimo oggetto per l’uso occasionale. Esempio ripresa video: • 3840*2160 con 30 fotogrammi per secondo • Filtro audio riduzione del vento attivato • Ripresa effettuata con angolo largo • Stabilizzatore attivo (per lo più sono le fenditure e disconnessioni dell’asfalto che causano il tremolio delle immagini) • Videocamera fissata con altro supporto rispetto a quelli in dotazione • Frequenza ottica 50hz – infatti potreste vedere alcune luci come quelle dei semafori che creano una strana instabilità della luce • Rendering video eseguito a 1080p
