Akaso V50 Pro SE does 4K at 60fps, 1080P at 120fps and 720 at 240fps. Only 130 bucks. Just ordered one and excited to see how it works out. From what I have seen it is better than the Elite and regular Pro.
Each one of these is an excellent camera, and I am sure you will like the V50 Elite too. You may check the detailed review here too: th-cam.com/video/0wmrikGFG6w/w-d-xo.html
Great review of budget 4K cameras - well done and not tediously boring! I most appreciated the mention of correction of the fish-eye effect in 2 of these cameras because that is a major concern for me. Thanks!!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I am working on a big spreadsheed comparing more features, as soon as it is ready I will pin it to the comments.
This is usually subjective, but... I like a lot the Mic on the SJCAM SJ8 Plus. The mics based on the iCatch V50 chipset (thieye and akaso) sometimes sounds weird in the first 20 seconds, however after that it is fine. Firefly has a good microphone too. From these models, the Firefly 8SE arrives with external mic; The Akaso V50 Pro supports external one. Not sure about the SJ8 Plus. If you are looking for really good sound - you will have to go external. Perhaps the cheapest GOOD solution is using a recorder (Zoom H1/H1n - costs around 100 bucks) and lavalier mic close to your mouth - Aputure a.lav (price is around 40 bucks). Here you can hear the actual comparison: th-cam.com/video/SUwpoYAOFns/w-d-xo.htmlm34s
Each one has good sides. It depends a lot on the kind of usage - I need stabilized 4K and out of these - maybe the SJ8 Plus has the best stabilization. Some people need good 1080p @ 60fps - and looks like the FIrefly 8SE is the best there.
Choose wisely… My V50 PRO freeze with only 10 days of usage and become a "brick". I couldn't do nothing with it and the only way to solve it was to send it to Akaso. It might not happen to you, but it seems to be a common problem with that camera firmware.
@@IvanVila for me it is really important to have stabilized 4K and the one on the SJ8 plus is the best out of these 6. If full hd with EIS is priority, I'd go.with the 8SE.
This is a very, very true statement! I still use from time to time the good old SJ4000 - because of the reasons mentioned. It has smaller pixel count (2MP sensor) and because of that shoots really good low light videos.
@@joshwhite9211 I like best the Aputure a.lav, but it requires conversion cables and won't be easy to set up. Better get the models offered by the manufacturers - SJCAM, Firefly and Akaso have all their own offerings. Firefly 8SE arrives with external mic in the box.
My best spent 10 mins in on any action camera reviews (and I'm through a lot of them now), Thank you! Quick question - what about live streaming? (as in, being able to watch the picture real time on a wifi/bluetooth device.. broadcasting to youtube&co would be (just) a nice to have). I've read that SJ8 was promised to support this, but ended up failing on that, so am bit confused... and no idea about the rest of the cameras.. Any hints are appreciated.
gerasim0v, where are you from? Sounds lime a recogbizabke for my language name :) Right now I am away from.each of these cams, and will likely be able to confirm in a couple of days.
Yes, there are in fact a lot of differences in the hardware compartment - the H7S has no EIS and this will result into shakier footage. Also, the 4K on the H7S is most likely interpolated, as the chipset doesn't really support 4K.
My brand new sjcam 8 pro was sent back to manufacturer for repair. Received after 2 months of waiting. Disappointed again. Battery compartment was not properly put back. Battery can't go in smoothly. Recorded videos still poor at all kind of setting. 4k 30fps video looks like video taken via year 2000 handphone. Customer service is at the bottom. Slow or no respond at all. Wasted my USD 210.00 on a piece of crap. No more sjcam.
The EKEN does not work under 10 meters dept. Only in shallow waters. The pressure makes all the buttons to be pressed simultaneously. It's good for snorkeling, not for diving. Big mistake for me.
Both will do fine. I have compared a few models over here: th-cam.com/video/tL4rAUxyTz8/w-d-xo.html I think those with the iCatch v50 Chipset are quite good underwater. The Elite uses this one too.
I have tested all of them except the Eken and the SJ8 Plus model. However I was diving down to 10 meters. Bug most of the time the waterproofness is right.
My buddy just asked me last night what my choice for an affordable action cam that could be used as a dashcam, I recommended the brands campark or activion as they are usually good but any cheap 1080 cam is usually decent for a dashcam. For less than 50 dollars American you can get a decent cam, just search "action cam" in Amazon sort by average review and go to town. Or go refurbished from GoPro ;)
thank you for the video. I'm having a hard time figuring out which camera to get. I just need one that records good quality video with audio (the audio doesn't need to be great) for riding dirt bikes and motorcycles. I just want to be able to record what I'm doing, watch it, and sometimes upload it to friends. I'm concerned about battery life because I hate having to charge things all the time. If you could recommend a camera I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi John, thanks for the detailed description that you give. Usually when there's wind going to the microphones, you won't be able to hear anything properly. It will record fine in still condition. Each of the reviewed models records with good quality - this is my intention - to show you the best budget 4K cameras - meaning that they not only are affordable, but also have hardware which can challenge the GoPro Hero 5 at least. So whichever you pick, you will like it. I'd choose between SJ8 Plus, FIrefly 8SE and Akaso V50 Pro. Likely, if playback is also important - keep in midn that the Firefly 8SE has no speaker, so you hear no sound when playing back via the cam. Sould is of course there and you will hear it on your PC. As for battery life - find a small power bank and keep it around the camera. No other way :-) The action camera with the best battery life I've ever tested is the Mijia 4K. But that won't go beyond two hours, no matter how hard you try.
The Firefly 8SE has external microphone in the package; The SJCAM SJ8 Plus and Pro support external mic too - it is proprietary however. You can rate the stabilizatio by yourself - there's enough footage shown. I like the SJ8 Plus most from these shown.
@@RemyRoma Just make sure to buy it from a place with proper warranty service - like Amazon. Otherwise, if you get a faulty model, it will turn the experience into a nightmare. And you will figure out quickly enough whether it is a good working batch or not.
Can you please recommend one for activities like skiing? Decently high resolution with good stabilization I'm thinking. As well as an easy way to trigger it while it is mounted on a helmet.
Hey David - each one of these will do fine with skiing. If you are looking for a bit better quality - the SJ8 Pro is quite good and not that expensive right now. Yi 4k+ is also a great deal.
@@TechMishka thanks. Considering the akaso v50 pro vs yi 4k. Both in the same price range. Akaso comes with accessories, yi doesn't. Any thoughts on these 2 for skiing and similar activities?
@@MrWpidave The Yi 4K is the more premium from both model, and just an year ago used to cost about 50% more than it costs now. Both will do fine when shooting skiing. And there are accessory packs for the Yi camera - some of which are quite good.
I identify a nice places in sofia, i used to live in vladaya it bring me lot of nice memories.. thank u man lot of bless for bg people. Hope to go back to bulgaria one day again
Such a positive and fresh comment, thank you so much, Tuto! You were living in a nice area, and wishing you to have more great moments here, in Sofia 🙃
Does the ThiEye Edge have the same sensor as the E7? Did they upgrade the firmware? I sold it because while 4K looked very good, 1080p 60fps looked terrible. Pleasing colors but worse results than the Firefly 8S. For now I care more about 60 fps as it is great to slow down 80 to 50 % the footage. Good roundup but hard to tell what's better what not. Although that GoPro 7 time warp feature that you show looks really amazing. An important factor to me would be how easy is to find spare waterproof housing. A Firefly 8S housing (not sure if one I bought extra / aftermarket or original) I had cracked at the hinges (luckily not in the water), it felt like the plastic dried up, another one got a couple of hairline scratches. Also useful to know which cams are compatible with GoPro 3 / 4 housings. It would be great if at the end of the video you would give your opinion, like best battery life, best 4 k, best 10800, photo mode, stabilization. I do not think I am switching from the Firefly 8S. Does the GoPro 7 have a really better stabilization and image quality? i wonder if Time Warp could be added via firmware to a Go Pro 5
Both of them are very similar. So in terms of shooting performance you shouldn't notice any serious difference. THink about the way the look and whether you need a touch screen or not.
hello what is good among this action cam or any suggestions ? yi 4k+, sjcam sj8 plus, akaso v50 pro or firefly 8se pro?? thanks for answering. Godbless
Hi, First of all thank you for the video, been seeing quite a few of them to try and choose a good action camera for a low budget. And this video really minimized the my options. Of all the cameras you introduced, the ones I'm most appealed to get were the ThiEye T5 Edge, and the SJ8 Plus. Right now I can get the ThiEye a bit cheaper then the SJ8, but it's not a whole lot cheaper. You think SJ8 does surpass the quality of the ThiEye?
In my opinion, this could be very subjective. The SJ8 Plus is excellent, but if giving a little more money is fine with you - the SJ8 Pro is trending at very good prices. Also, I have seen a l of discounts of the Yi 4K - which is better than each one of the models shown here (only disadvantage is lack of stabilization in 4K). Still - if your choice is between the ThiEye model and the SJ8 Plus - I believe the SJ8 Plus is slightly better.
Hi. Thanks for your review. And I want to know which camera is good for me. I am looking for narrow field of view with 1080 60p supporting Eis. Because I'd like to record flying RC helicopter. Some cameras I bought before didn't support Eis at 1080 60p narrow Fov. Would you give me a solution?
The Firefly 8SE does that, however ... well - the narrow FOV always results into worse stabilization. The best thing you can do is search for the 90-degree FOV model of the Firefly cameras - with that option the stabilization is good, and the footage is good. Both Firefly 8S and 8SE have a 90-degree version.
Have you looked at the Apeman A100 Trawo? Am deciding between the Apeman, the Akaso V50 Elite, SJCAM SJ8 Pro and Vantop Moment 4. Have to decide in the next coupe of days or there won't be time to get it hipped to me before my holiday! Which would you choose out off those? Thanks for any help!
Yeah, the stabilization on the SJ8 Plus may be a little better. In fact - the SJ8 Pro has even better stabilization (6-axis vs 3-acis on the Plus). But if 4K is not a need (guess you will use 1080p 60fps) - the 8Se is a wonderful choice.
@@TechMishka I don't know man, I just bought kogan 4k action cam but I think I was tricked by the seller. it's super bad quality and images, I guess I got the fake one. it's about 17 us dollar
Depends on how stable footage you want. The MJX Bugs 3 is the cheapest one - bit.ly/2EjeUx6 If you prefer stable footage, then a gimbal would be a good idea. There are a few cheaper options for 2-axis gimbal which work fine with the Bayangtoys - X16 bit.ly/2UH9oKm
I realise that these reviews have a time limit, but there is information that those of us searching reviewers of cheaper cameras would like: 1. Can you use it as a PC USB webcam? What resolution and frame rate do you get in webcam mode? does it have lens distortion correction - does it work in webcam mode? A good quality webcam will cost the same price as the cameras you are reviewing and yet have the limitation of being constantly tethered to a PC. 2. Will the camera record while charging? If so it can be used as an in car dash-cam, or even a home security camera. I have two action cameras that I bought for £22 (total) that function purely as home security cameras. DBPower may not have a great GoPro camera killer reputation but I can attest their EX7000 cameras do work well for the price, and their customer support is quite amazing. Despite only paying £22 for 2x EX7000's on Amazon, when I logged onto their chat support to ask about obtaining spare batteries they apologised and sent me a Bluetooth soundbar with DAB radio as free gift.. and a spare battery.. the spare battery came with a whole new camera set. So I paid £22 including VAT for 3x EX7000 cameras and a Bluetooth soundbar.. all free delivery. 3. If it has WiFi would the recommended software have potential security options such as record on motion detection, very low light recording etc. Reviewers often mention that they can be used on a phone, but forget that most SmartTV's can also use the apps as a monitor for the camera. I play my Apeman TRAWO recorded files directly via my 4K SmartTV over WiFi. Most of these cameras come with the option to record either in H.264 or H.265 mode. No reviewers seem to mention what the difference is, and why users should choose each codec for a particular use. I'm not suggesting that reviewers turn every $20 - $30 action camera review into a 3 hour marathon but you could make up a card to show these details quickly for a few seconds on screen. Part of the advantage of 'budget cameras' is that their functionality lends value. We aren't all hang-gliders, scuba divers, skiers or mountain bike riders, we have other uses for the cheaper type of cameras. We know the good manufacturers listen to reviewers, if reviewers don't cover useful information the manufacturers won't see such features as a priority. My number one priority when buying these cameras (I have a few of them) is whether it will function while charging. If I want stabilised footage I'll use the tripod or a gimble, I won't sacrifice image quality for stability. I tend to shake my head at reviewers who spend 10 minutes showing comparative EIS on cheap cameras, and then not bother to mentioning whether it can be used as a camera while charging. Should I buy the powerbank or not if taking snaps or a quick videos while outdoors. I'm old.. I generally don't run everywhere or use a skateboard, but I do buy action cameras. It seems to me that GoPro have set the agenda for every type of small portable high definition camera.. this doesn't have to remain the case. You don't have to rigidly stick to that agenda with every review. Perhaps we could have a wider variety of camera designs if we encourage the manufacturers to consider other uses.
Very good questions! 1. Yes! ... but... you will need a microHDMI cable, capture card, and a lot of patience and it is not possible out of the box. 2. Yes - you can charge and shoot. Note that cheapest actioncams have no sensor for protecting the battery from overcharging. Nothing bad - you will have to change the battery from time to time. 3. You will be able to do that with the dedidated app, but I don't know hod good and reliable will that be in the long-run. There are a number of good statuc Wi-Fi surveillance cameras these days which will be a good fit. h264 vs h265 is quite a long topic. H264 is standard for video for many years and is royalty free. Therefore - supported by every device. The h.265 benefit is the optimized compression - usually for 2-3 times smaller files you get the same quality. But since it is not royalty-free, some vendors prefer to not adopt it. In the past months TH-cam is using more and more the AV1 - which is expected to be even better and to become really popular.
great review thank you,actually i lost my gopro hero 9😭,that why i need the more cheaperr action camera,i dont want buy it again,thank you for the review😊😊💪
Well - most action cameras have not too great audio. I tend to agree it could have been better. But I generally don't like the audio on iCatch v50 chipsets too.
This is very often a personal choice. In my opinion the SJ8 Plus has the best quality among the participating in the review contenders. The differences are not significant.
Thanks for a great video! I'm taking the cheap, little Hype I-FX HD 1080p camera for $30 back to Home Depot and getting the Akaso V50 Elite. Your video helped me make the decision mainly because I bought some 128Gb Micro SD HCXC 100mbs cards for my Panasonic video camera and most of the other action cameras are not native support for 128Gb extended capacity cards. It's worth the extra money for the much better camera and the practicality of just having to buy one size, one type of SD card.
I am glad to hear the review is helpful! 🙃 Some action cameras actually support larger microSD capacity if you format the card in exFAT. THat used to be a trick to make the older SJ4000 support 64GB. Panasonic and 100Mbps? Is that a G-Series Panasonic? :) Most likely it is.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS!!! I was hunting for the MGCool Explorer 3, because it received good reviews and actually had decent audio ... only to find it impossible to buy. Now I know it was absorbed (and arguably improved) by Akaso. Getting 2 batteries and a charger really sold it for me. I was able to find the V50 Pro on Amazon (like you stated) on sale for $110 shipped. At that great price, i might pick up the Eken H6s too!
Hey James - thank you for taking the time and sharing all this. The V50 pro is absolutely fabulous! Not sure what really is going on with MGCool. They closed their offices, got absorbed again by Elephone, and maybe they will continue releasing action cameras as "Elecam" - just as it used to be before. Or maybe not... But Akaso are strong at the moment, and I sincerely wish you to make a lot of awesome photos and videos! :)
Michael, I am really digging this V50 pro. I opted to also buy the Firefly 90° model; however, I have to wait very patiently for it, considering the sweet price that I got it for from Banggood.com. I am planning on shooting an extremely low-budget movie with the two of them, with the 90° for regular conversations ... although the V50 pro doesn't have much distortion when I shoot 2.7K with the "narrow" setting. I am learning the basics of DaVinci Pro now, which has a great free version. Current tech is pretty awesome!
Yeah, current tech is indeed pretty awesome! :-) I am not that advanced with davinci resolve, but there certainly should be some ready-to-use presets for action camera footage - Adobe premiere for example has such kind of presets (well most of them should be downloaded externally) and they can correct the wide-angle distortions.
When i notice that you weren’t telling the price of each camera I quit watching.. Sorry.. most of us just wanted a quick description and price... 293k views could’ve been 500k
Wish you would have chosen your favorite , I bought the DB7000. Waterproof, extra battery, 10 accessories, touch screen ( I wish my GoPro had) , 4K, cheapest one, best for the money.
Ако авторът или някой друг може да ми отговори, на един въпрос, който ме мъчи няколко дни ще бъда благодарен. Купих си thieye t5 edge. Смених микро sd картата с нова, спецялна за hd камери, но въпреки всичко в режим на запис 4к или сходен на него, камерата снима клипчета, които забиват и изобщо не вървят, както трябва да бъде. На какво може да се дължи това и какво трябва да направя?
Здрасти Марти. Авторът отговаря: Какви са картите, които си използвал? Моле те посочи точни модели - ако в по-ниските резолюции записите са наред, е много вероятно да е от самата карта.
I don't know if it is just me, but these budget action cams often seem to have video that is a bit jerky. I can't quite put my finger on how to describe it exactly. I can have the camera sitting still with the EIS turned off. If I then look at the motion of objects such as trees or grass, it can have a kind of jerky movement. Is it because the data rate is too low and the video too compressed ? Would I get smoother video if I shot at 720p ? I'm thinking of getting another budget action cam, so this video was helpful.
Most likely it is because you often watch TV at higher refresh rate and you are used to higher FPS. I try to keep these videos at 30FPS, which for people who do a lot of gamin or watch higher FPS looks exactly as you describe it. Quality of all these 5 is quite good in fact.
Thieye , is absolutely the worst on board audio of the bunch. I’m surprised you didn’t say anything about it . I’m doubting your judgment unless you don’t want audio?
Which ThiEye camera has bad audio? Could be that there's something wrong with the microphone on your unit - as the T5 Pro is rather OK. Perhaps the worst one about audio from all these 5, but that doesn't make it that bad.
I personally like the Pro a little more, but note that I have the first revision of the Elite, which is without a touch screen. And the current version has touch. The Elite used to have IMX 078 - quite an outdated sensor. If it is still the same, I believe the Pro has better image quality.
@@TechMishka thnx for the reply and suggestions. Even i myself thinks pro is way better than elite, rather than having a low price. Your video helped a lot. Think um gonna go for that pro :D
Almost all shots are made in Bulgaria? Are you were on holiday there or you are from Bulgaria? А... ти БГ ли си ? Гледам че в началото има снимана църквата света софия :D
Wow, this shows how different perception of different people could be :) I don'r like the SJ8 plus that much becuase of the reddish tint. And from all of these, the Akaso Elite seems to be a bit noisier. Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion and I'd 'love to see your comments on the next forthcoming actioncam reviews.
Just look around for a device that has a car mode - if you mean something like a dash-camera. Many of them have - the SJ8 Plus, the Firefly 8SE, and so on.
GoPro is still the only one. Well - theoretically there are a few models in Amazon that claim to be capable of being waterproof with no case, but... Right now, an excellent waterproof camera on a budget would be the Hero 5 Black - it is no longer that expensive and sometimes second-hand hero 5 Black are slightly more than the price of these. I know that Firefly are working on a camera which is waterproof without a case, but the testing takes really long time... It was supposed to be ready last year 😎
It is mostly personal choice - both are good, and the difference is the angle of view. I personally would prefer the wide-angle view because of the more dynamics that it adds to the scene. You can shoot narrow with your smartphone's camera anyways 😎
Akaso v50 pro is garbage, don't buy it. I get this camera because I bought and akaso EK7000 for my daughter and I was impressed with 1080p quality at just 59 dlls I thought v50 pro was going to be better but NO, I tried with 4k, 2.7k but the worst is 1080p video quality. Stabilization on this camera is just a joke you can see it in this video sample, jerky af. Stay away from this camera.
I have a 4k campark camera, unsure of the model but I know it was not expensive, it's a great little camera. It's not as heavy or as solid as my GoPro hero 4 black but it's an awesome little 4k cam
I recently got a campark Xtreme I 4k cam - about £40 on Amazon. Mediocre for budget camera, but it's definitely not 4k more like 1080 interpolated up to 4k. Slo-mo 720p @ 90fps. Battery life mediocre, doesn't talk to my Mac, no image stabilization, needed to hunt around for Android app, had some problems with long videos (4gb) not writing to card due to fat32/exfat limitations... I think I'll invest in a reputable brand camera for more money when it's time to upgrade. Sometimes you do get what you pay for!
Sure - you can get one on the Firefly 8SE, Akaso V50 Pro, and most likely on the SJ8 Plus (they make you use proprietary mic). The firefly 8SE arrives with an external microphone as part of the accessories.
This is useful! I do a lot of water sports and needed a go-pro, but can't afford! So these are great,
Yeah, the good news is that there are plenty of reasonable choices for action cameras nowadays.

Most welcome, Ivo! Glad it is useful.
Awesome
great video! Wondering how you found the mic quality on these to be
This is usually subjective, but... I like a lot the Mic on the SJCAM SJ8 Plus. The mics based on the iCatch V50 chipset (thieye and akaso) sometimes sounds weird in the first 20 seconds, however after that it is fine. Firefly has a good microphone too.
From these models, the Firefly 8SE arrives with external mic; The Akaso V50 Pro supports external one. Not sure about the SJ8 Plus.
If you are looking for really good sound - you will have to go external. Perhaps the cheapest GOOD solution is using a recorder (Zoom H1/H1n - costs around 100 bucks) and lavalier mic close to your mouth - Aputure a.lav (price is around 40 bucks). Here you can hear the actual comparison: th-cam.com/video/SUwpoYAOFns/w-d-xo.htmlm34s

So which one is good bro for you?thanks and superb explanation...
Each one has good sides. It depends a lot on the kind of usage - I need stabilized 4K and out of these - maybe the SJ8 Plus has the best stabilization.
Some people need good 1080p @ 60fps - and looks like the FIrefly 8SE is the best there.
What a presentation. Although i do not need,( i have the very budget one) i like watching your reviews and comparisons.

Choose wisely… My V50 PRO freeze with only 10 days of usage and become a "brick". I couldn't do nothing with it and the only way to solve it was to send it to Akaso.
It might not happen to you, but it seems to be a common problem with that camera firmware.
did you get it? how do you like it?
Thanks for this video!!
Hey, most welcome! Which one of these is your favorite?
@@TechMishka for me firefly 8se, and for you?
@@IvanVila for me it is really important to have stabilized 4K and the one on the SJ8 plus is the best out of these 6.
If full hd with EIS is priority, I'd go.with the 8SE.
These cameras are too worried with more pixels while they should really improve their dynamic range, being outdoor cameras as they are.
This is a very, very true statement! I still use from time to time the good old SJ4000 - because of the reasons mentioned. It has smaller pixel count (2MP sensor) and because of that shoots really good low light videos.
It would be very helpful if you mention which camera support External Mic (proprietary or universal). Thanks

Yes, there are in fact a lot of differences in the hardware compartment - the H7S has no EIS and this will result into shakier footage. Also, the 4K on the H7S is most likely interpolated, as the chipset doesn't really support 4K.

Doesn't mean it is not a great deal! 😇😎 Sometimes being unique is satisfying enough!
What did you choose?
Tech4All thanks for the reply. It a Crosstour, but I'm not expecting the world from it as it was only cheap.
My brand new sjcam 8 pro was sent back to manufacturer for repair. Received after 2 months of waiting. Disappointed again. Battery compartment was not properly put back. Battery can't go in smoothly. Recorded videos still poor at all kind of setting. 4k 30fps video looks like video taken via year 2000 handphone. Customer service is at the bottom. Slow or no respond at all. Wasted my USD 210.00 on a piece of crap. No more sjcam.
Sounds like you had some terrible experience. Hopefully they will fix it for you. I had similar issues with my initial SJ8 Pro unit.
This helped, thank u.
So happy to see this helpful. Thank you for stopping by to say a good word! 😎

What one would you recommend for motorcycle trackdays/road riding?
Oh, each one of these will do fine. I notice that a lot of people that make motovlogs lean towards the FireFly 8SE.
Which is better in underwater video
Akaso v50 elite or hawkeye firefly 8se?
Both will do fine. I have compared a few models over here:
th-cam.com/video/tL4rAUxyTz8/w-d-xo.html
I think those with the iCatch v50 Chipset are quite good underwater. The Elite uses this one too.
Did you test the waterproof-ness? Are these things good to the depths they claim?
I have tested all of them except the Eken and the SJ8 Plus model. However I was diving down to 10 meters. Bug most of the time the waterproofness is right.
My buddy just asked me last night what my choice for an affordable action cam that could be used as a dashcam, I recommended the brands campark or activion as they are usually good but any cheap 1080 cam is usually decent for a dashcam. For less than 50 dollars American you can get a decent cam, just search "action cam" in Amazon sort by average review and go to town. Or go refurbished from GoPro ;)
True that!
I have used for a long time SJ4000 and it did awesome job too. Right now it costs about $50 too.
Hi, which one do you advise for motorcycle use ?
The firefly 8SE.
@@TechMishka tank you
thank you for the video. I'm having a hard time figuring out which camera to get. I just need one that records good quality video with audio (the audio doesn't need to be great) for riding dirt bikes and motorcycles. I just want to be able to record what I'm doing, watch it, and sometimes upload it to friends. I'm concerned about battery life because I hate having to charge things all the time. If you could recommend a camera I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi John, thanks for the detailed description that you give. Usually when there's wind going to the microphones, you won't be able to hear anything properly. It will record fine in still condition.
Each of the reviewed models records with good quality - this is my intention - to show you the best budget 4K cameras - meaning that they not only are affordable, but also have hardware which can challenge the GoPro Hero 5 at least. So whichever you pick, you will like it.
I'd choose between SJ8 Plus, FIrefly 8SE and Akaso V50 Pro. Likely, if playback is also important - keep in midn that the Firefly 8SE has no speaker, so you hear no sound when playing back via the cam. Sould is of course there and you will hear it on your PC.
As for battery life - find a small power bank and keep it around the camera. No other way :-)
The action camera with the best battery life I've ever tested is the Mijia 4K. But that won't go beyond two hours, no matter how hard you try.
@@TechMishka ok. Thanks a lot for the reply and again for the video.
Which of this cameras have the best stabilization and wihch the worse stabilization? Wihch camera can fit an external microphone?
The Firefly 8SE has external microphone in the package; The SJCAM SJ8 Plus and Pro support external mic too - it is proprietary however.
You can rate the stabilizatio by yourself - there's enough footage shown. I like the SJ8 Plus most from these shown.

Which camera produces the best 4k footage? EIS is not an issue as i'm going to pair it with a gimbal
From these here - maybe the SJ8 Plus. If you are fine investing 20 bucks more - the SK8 Pro is at a great price right now.
@@TechMishka Thanks for the info about sj8 pro.. the price dropped significantly.. Now I'm leaning toward sj8 pro..
@@RemyRoma Just make sure to buy it from a place with proper warranty service - like Amazon. Otherwise, if you get a faulty model, it will turn the experience into a nightmare. And you will figure out quickly enough whether it is a good working batch or not.

Most welcome! Nice channel you have.
Can you please recommend one for activities like skiing? Decently high resolution with good stabilization I'm thinking. As well as an easy way to trigger it while it is mounted on a helmet.
Hey David - each one of these will do fine with skiing. If you are looking for a bit better quality - the SJ8 Pro is quite good and not that expensive right now. Yi 4k+ is also a great deal.

Thank you for the support, Salim. Feel free to share the video with your friends - could be useful to some of them.
Buy gopro hero and than hack it with hero 5 softwere and that is it.
Does the ThiEye Edge have the same sensor as the E7? Did they upgrade the firmware? I sold it because while 4K looked very good, 1080p 60fps looked terrible. Pleasing colors but worse results than the Firefly 8S. For now I care more about 60 fps as it is great to slow down 80 to 50 % the footage. Good roundup but hard to tell what's better what not. Although that GoPro 7 time warp feature that you show looks really amazing. An important factor to me would be how easy is to find spare waterproof housing. A Firefly 8S housing (not sure if one I bought extra / aftermarket or original) I had cracked at the hinges (luckily not in the water), it felt like the plastic dried up, another one got a couple of hairline scratches. Also useful to know which cams are compatible with GoPro 3 / 4 housings. It would be great if at the end of the video you would give your opinion, like best battery life, best 4 k, best 10800, photo mode, stabilization. I do not think I am switching from the Firefly 8S. Does the GoPro 7 have a really better stabilization and image quality? i wonder if Time Warp could be added via firmware to a Go Pro 5

hello, just want to know whiches one is the best in term of quality: the YI 4k+ or the V50 elite ?
The answer of this one is quite straightforward - the Yi 4K+ is superior.
Hello.I want ask you.what you choose between akaso v50 pro or thieye e7???.please reply.thanks.
Both of them are very similar. So in terms of shooting performance you shouldn't notice any serious difference. THink about the way the look and whether you need a touch screen or not.
can i use action camera for indoor vloging at night
You can, but the results will not be superb - these sensors are pretty small, so there will be a lot of noise.
hello what is good among this action cam or any suggestions ? yi 4k+, sjcam sj8 plus, akaso v50 pro or firefly 8se pro?? thanks for answering. Godbless
Hi Pareng - I will answer with the remark that it is personal preference.
From good to bad - Yi 4K+ > SJ8 Pro -> Firefly 8SE > V50 Pro
Can you do a shoot out of how cheaper action cams can compete with the best right now.
Yeah, planning to do such a thing.
Finally i found a reall review not just a review of review videos.
Yeah, hard to filter these on youtube 🙃
Hi,
First of all thank you for the video, been seeing quite a few of them to try and choose a good action camera for a low budget. And this video really minimized the my options.
Of all the cameras you introduced, the ones I'm most appealed to get were the ThiEye T5 Edge, and the SJ8 Plus. Right now I can get the ThiEye a bit cheaper then the SJ8, but it's not a whole lot cheaper.
You think SJ8 does surpass the quality of the ThiEye?
In my opinion, this could be very subjective. The SJ8 Plus is excellent, but if giving a little more money is fine with you - the SJ8 Pro is trending at very good prices.
Also, I have seen a l of discounts of the Yi 4K - which is better than each one of the models shown here (only disadvantage is lack of stabilization in 4K).
Still - if your choice is between the ThiEye model and the SJ8 Plus - I believe the SJ8 Plus is slightly better.
Thank for your answer. I will look for the two you mencioned.
Hi. Thanks for your review. And I want to know which camera is good for me. I am looking for narrow field of view with 1080 60p supporting Eis. Because I'd like to record flying RC helicopter. Some cameras I bought before didn't support Eis at 1080 60p narrow Fov. Would you give me a solution?
The Firefly 8SE does that, however ... well - the narrow FOV always results into worse stabilization.
The best thing you can do is search for the 90-degree FOV model of the Firefly cameras - with that option the stabilization is good, and the footage is good. Both Firefly 8S and 8SE have a 90-degree version.
Have you looked at the Apeman A100 Trawo? Am deciding between the Apeman, the Akaso V50 Elite, SJCAM SJ8 Pro and Vantop Moment 4. Have to decide in the next coupe of days or there won't be time to get it hipped to me before my holiday! Which would you choose out off those? Thanks for any help!
Hi Tim - this would be a touch choice, but the SJ8 Pro is great if you find a "healthy" unit. Its hardware is way more capable than the others.
Thanks for your reply! The main thing that put me off the Firefly was not having image stabilisation at 4k@@TechMishka
@@timeastwood7468 Yeah, same reason for me having stopped using it.
what cam is the best for stabilization and fpv (the 8(pro) has eis and fpv compatible, but is it the best for stabilization?)
Yeah, the stabilization on the SJ8 Plus may be a little better. In fact - the SJ8 Pro has even better stabilization (6-axis vs 3-acis on the Plus). But if 4K is not a need (guess you will use 1080p 60fps) - the 8Se is a wonderful choice.
@@TechMishka my only worry is now the fpv compatabillity of the SJ8 Pro
what do you think about Kogan action cam??
Which model are you interested in? They should be fine - most of the models are good.
@@TechMishka I don't know man, I just bought kogan 4k action cam but I think I was tricked by the seller. it's super bad quality and images, I guess I got the fake one. it's about 17 us dollar
@@emirarnas For 17 dollars it is hard to get great image quality.
Please tell me which drone will go for V50 elite.. Affordable one..
Depends on how stable footage you want. The MJX Bugs 3 is the cheapest one - bit.ly/2EjeUx6
If you prefer stable footage, then a gimbal would be a good idea. There are a few cheaper options for 2-axis gimbal which work fine with the Bayangtoys - X16 bit.ly/2UH9oKm
Really helpful as was thinking of a few cheap ones and for a little more I can have much better
Yeah, very true 🙂
And the v50x beats em all 👍😁
Yeah, pretty much!
I realise that these reviews have a time limit, but there is information that those of us searching reviewers of cheaper cameras would like:
1. Can you use it as a PC USB webcam? What resolution and frame rate do you get in webcam mode? does it have lens distortion correction - does it work in webcam mode? A good quality webcam will cost the same price as the cameras you are reviewing and yet have the limitation of being constantly tethered to a PC.
2. Will the camera record while charging? If so it can be used as an in car dash-cam, or even a home security camera.
I have two action cameras that I bought for £22 (total) that function purely as home security cameras. DBPower may not have a great GoPro camera killer reputation but I can attest their EX7000 cameras do work well for the price, and their customer support is quite amazing. Despite only paying £22 for 2x EX7000's on Amazon, when I logged onto their chat support to ask about obtaining spare batteries they apologised and sent me a Bluetooth soundbar with DAB radio as free gift.. and a spare battery.. the spare battery came with a whole new camera set. So I paid £22 including VAT for 3x EX7000 cameras and a Bluetooth soundbar.. all free delivery.
3. If it has WiFi would the recommended software have potential security options such as record on motion detection, very low light recording etc. Reviewers often mention that they can be used on a phone, but forget that most SmartTV's can also use the apps as a monitor for the camera. I play my Apeman TRAWO recorded files directly via my 4K SmartTV over WiFi.
Most of these cameras come with the option to record either in H.264 or H.265 mode. No reviewers seem to mention what the difference is, and why users should choose each codec for a particular use. I'm not suggesting that reviewers turn every $20 - $30 action camera review into a 3 hour marathon but you could make up a card to show these details quickly for a few seconds on screen. Part of the advantage of 'budget cameras' is that their functionality lends value. We aren't all hang-gliders, scuba divers, skiers or mountain bike riders, we have other uses for the cheaper type of cameras. We know the good manufacturers listen to reviewers, if reviewers don't cover useful information the manufacturers won't see such features as a priority. My number one priority when buying these cameras (I have a few of them) is whether it will function while charging. If I want stabilised footage I'll use the tripod or a gimble, I won't sacrifice image quality for stability. I tend to shake my head at reviewers who spend 10 minutes showing comparative EIS on cheap cameras, and then not bother to mentioning whether it can be used as a camera while charging. Should I buy the powerbank or not if taking snaps or a quick videos while outdoors. I'm old.. I generally don't run everywhere or use a skateboard, but I do buy action cameras.
It seems to me that GoPro have set the agenda for every type of small portable high definition camera.. this doesn't have to remain the case. You don't have to rigidly stick to that agenda with every review. Perhaps we could have a wider variety of camera designs if we encourage the manufacturers to consider other uses.
Very good questions!
1. Yes! ... but... you will need a microHDMI cable, capture card, and a lot of patience and it is not possible out of the box.
2. Yes - you can charge and shoot. Note that cheapest actioncams have no sensor for protecting the battery from overcharging. Nothing bad - you will have to change the battery from time to time.
3. You will be able to do that with the dedidated app, but I don't know hod good and reliable will that be in the long-run. There are a number of good statuc Wi-Fi surveillance cameras these days which will be a good fit.
h264 vs h265 is quite a long topic. H264 is standard for video for many years and is royalty free. Therefore - supported by every device. The h.265 benefit is the optimized compression - usually for 2-3 times smaller files you get the same quality. But since it is not royalty-free, some vendors prefer to not adopt it.
In the past months TH-cam is using more and more the AV1 - which is expected to be even better and to become really popular.
Have you done a video for 2019 action camera under 150 USD, thanks
Not yet, and probably will delay that for 2020 :-)
Fake news how come is your published date Nov 9, 2018...one month after the Hero 7 was released...
You mean why GoPro is not here|? The answer to this is mentioned at the start - only actioncams below $150 are included.
Hello Sir... We need a video cam that will line out to a TV or DVR through HDMI while in record mode.
Any Recommendations?
Brilliant review , first time I've watched , much appreciated tips 🙃
Hey Alan, thank you so much for taking the time and say this. Much appreciated! 😇🧐
I like my Vivitar 922ieo HD, for 70$. We’ll worth it
Lovely!
great review thank you,actually i lost my gopro hero 9😭,that why i need the more cheaperr action camera,i dont want buy it again,thank you for the review😊😊💪
Sorry to hear about the Hero 9! Let's hope you already have a decent alternative.
I bought a Akaso v 50pro, overall is ok but the stabilization is quite poor, it's good value consider the price you paid for ......
That's pretty good to hear! Indeed - stabilization is not great, but it's good that at least it reduces the heaviest shakes.
the Akaso Elite has garbage audio
Well - most action cameras have not too great audio. I tend to agree it could have been better. But I generally don't like the audio on iCatch v50 chipsets too.
Can you tell me witch one of them has the best recording quality for 4k?
This is very often a personal choice. In my opinion the SJ8 Plus has the best quality among the participating in the review contenders. The differences are not significant.
Thanks for a great video! I'm taking the cheap, little Hype I-FX HD 1080p camera for $30 back to Home Depot and getting the Akaso V50 Elite. Your video helped me make the decision mainly because I bought some 128Gb Micro SD HCXC 100mbs cards for my Panasonic video camera and most of the other action cameras are not native support for 128Gb extended capacity cards. It's worth the extra money for the much better camera and the practicality of just having to buy one size, one type of SD card.
I am glad to hear the review is helpful! 🙃
Some action cameras actually support larger microSD capacity if you format the card in exFAT. THat used to be a trick to make the older SJ4000 support 64GB.
Panasonic and 100Mbps? Is that a G-Series Panasonic? :) Most likely it is.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS!!! I was hunting for the MGCool Explorer 3, because it received good reviews and actually had decent audio ... only to find it impossible to buy. Now I know it was absorbed (and arguably improved) by Akaso. Getting 2 batteries and a charger really sold it for me. I was able to find the V50 Pro on Amazon (like you stated) on sale for $110 shipped. At that great price, i might pick up the Eken H6s too!
Hey James - thank you for taking the time and sharing all this. The V50 pro is absolutely fabulous!
Not sure what really is going on with MGCool. They closed their offices, got absorbed again by Elephone, and maybe they will continue releasing action cameras as "Elecam" - just as it used to be before. Or maybe not...
But Akaso are strong at the moment, and I sincerely wish you to make a lot of awesome photos and videos! :)
Michael, I am really digging this V50 pro. I opted to also buy the Firefly 90° model; however, I have to wait very patiently for it, considering the sweet price that I got it for from Banggood.com. I am planning on shooting an extremely low-budget movie with the two of them, with the 90° for regular conversations ... although the V50 pro doesn't have much distortion when I shoot 2.7K with the "narrow" setting. I am learning the basics of DaVinci Pro now, which has a great free version. Current tech is pretty awesome!
Yeah, current tech is indeed pretty awesome! :-)
I am not that advanced with davinci resolve, but there certainly should be some ready-to-use presets for action camera footage - Adobe premiere for example has such kind of presets (well most of them should be downloaded externally) and they can correct the wide-angle distortions.
What happened with the
akaso v50x??
It was released in 2019. th-cam.com/video/P8C0kv4RUbU/w-d-xo.html
Great review from brands you wouldn’t necessarily consider👍
Thanks Neill - this was indeed the idea - to cover not too popular brands, but such that do well.
Which is the best for slow motion?i want to shoot my cat slow mo with good quality indoor
The FireFly 8SE. Most likely. But indoor shooting is quite a challenge, especially if there's not enough light.
When i notice that you weren’t telling the price of each camera I quit watching.. Sorry.. most of us just wanted a quick description and price... 293k views could’ve been 500k
I avoid telling prices, because they vary a lot. This is why at the start I say that these cameras are all below $150.
Wish you would have chosen your favorite , I bought the DB7000. Waterproof, extra battery, 10 accessories, touch screen ( I wish my GoPro had) , 4K, cheapest one, best for the money.
Very good choice indeed!

I don't know if it is just me, but these budget action cams often seem to have video that is a bit jerky. I can't quite put my finger on how to describe it exactly. I can have the camera sitting still with the EIS turned off. If I then look at the motion of objects such as trees or grass, it can have a kind of jerky movement. Is it because the data rate is too low and the video too compressed ? Would I get smoother video if I shot at 720p ? I'm thinking of getting another budget action cam, so this video was helpful.
Most likely it is because you often watch TV at higher refresh rate and you are used to higher FPS. I try to keep these videos at 30FPS, which for people who do a lot of gamin or watch higher FPS looks exactly as you describe it. Quality of all these 5 is quite good in fact.
Thieye , is absolutely the worst on board audio of the bunch. I’m surprised you didn’t say anything about it . I’m doubting your judgment unless you don’t want audio?
Which ThiEye camera has bad audio?
Could be that there's something wrong with the microphone on your unit - as the T5 Pro is rather OK. Perhaps the worst one about audio from all these 5, but that doesn't make it that bad.

I personally like the Pro a little more, but note that I have the first revision of the Elite, which is without a touch screen. And the current version has touch.
The Elite used to have IMX 078 - quite an outdated sensor. If it is still the same, I believe the Pro has better image quality.

Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion and I'd 'love to see your comments on the next forthcoming actioncam reviews.
Which one of these or other budget action camera would be best for like car videos and shooting moving cars
Just look around for a device that has a car mode - if you mean something like a dash-camera. Many of them have - the SJ8 Plus, the Firefly 8SE, and so on.
Are any of them waterproof without an extra case? I have been looking around for a camera like this, but the only ones I can find are actual gopros.
GoPro is still the only one. Well - theoretically there are a few models in Amazon that claim to be capable of being waterproof with no case, but...
Right now, an excellent waterproof camera on a budget would be the Hero 5 Black - it is no longer that expensive and sometimes second-hand hero 5 Black are slightly more than the price of these.
I know that Firefly are working on a camera which is waterproof without a case, but the testing takes really long time... It was supposed to be ready last year 😎
@@TechMishka thx... lol now i need to decide between the hero 5 black and the hero 2018.... hmm

Eken h6s
Got my EKEN H6s 4K+ from Amazon today for $68!
does it have eis?
FIREFLY 8SE 90° version or 170° version nice choice
It is mostly personal choice - both are good, and the difference is the angle of view. I personally would prefer the wide-angle view because of the more dynamics that it adds to the scene. You can shoot narrow with your smartphone's camera anyways 😎
Akaso v50 pro is garbage, don't buy it. I get this camera because I bought and akaso EK7000 for my daughter and I was impressed with 1080p quality at just 59 dlls I thought v50 pro was going to be better but NO, I tried with 4k, 2.7k but the worst is 1080p video quality. Stabilization on this camera is just a joke you can see it in this video sample, jerky af. Stay away from this camera.
So you say that the stabilization on the V50 Pro is worse than EK7000?
EK7000 has no stabilization at all and V50 pro has a poor stabilization, useless stabilization.
Eken H9R is it a good option to go with?
Yes, a good camera. However it has no image stabilization - keep that in mind.
@@TechMishka also it is not real 4k but interpolized 4k. For 1080p it is good for the price.

Have you tried the Campark X20?
Nope! Never ever :-) Looks interesting.
I have a 4k campark camera, unsure of the model but I know it was not expensive, it's a great little camera. It's not as heavy or as solid as my GoPro hero 4 black but it's an awesome little 4k cam
Ryan Marshall yea I’ve loved it so far. Just used it to shoot some skiing videos and it works great!
I recently got a campark Xtreme I 4k cam - about £40 on Amazon. Mediocre for budget camera, but it's definitely not 4k more like 1080 interpolated up to 4k. Slo-mo 720p @ 90fps. Battery life mediocre, doesn't talk to my Mac, no image stabilization, needed to hunt around for Android app, had some problems with long videos (4gb) not writing to card due to fat32/exfat limitations... I think I'll invest in a reputable brand camera for more money when it's time to upgrade. Sometimes you do get what you pay for!
Can any of them use an external microphone?
Sure - you can get one on the Firefly 8SE, Akaso V50 Pro, and most likely on the SJ8 Plus (they make you use proprietary mic). The firefly 8SE arrives with an external microphone as part of the accessories.
