I already own the V50X. I was looking into the Brave 7 LE for the front screen, but this video makes me think it's not even worth it, because the image quality is so much worse.
Nice, short comparison. Except...I almost walked away thinking the Brave LE was the better camera. You started out with the Brave on the left and then switched them. After the second stream, all the good video was coming from the left (post swap) and I thought that side was still dedicated to the Brave. After reading the comments I watched it a second time and figured it out. I almost bought the wrong camera. Just a suggestion...you may want to keep the orientation from start to finish. Otherwise, thank you for the good video comparing the image stabilization and quality.
Thanks for that Ken it certainly made my mind up on which one to buy (V50X) Hello from the U.K. and you and your family keep safe in these uncertain times.
I have been teetering on the edge of getting the B7LE but the V50 picturre quality is superior. It seems Akaso cant put one camera together that has it all.
Both have good stabilization, but the v50x has better image detail-quality ...seems like the brave 7le tries to get better image smoothing the image, but sacrifices image detail. On question, and sorry if its basic, but i have no experience...why film in 1080 when both have 4k resolution?....and would you recomend the v50x for mopunting it on a motorcycle helmet and using it filming rides?
GD pm Ken, The 1st initial video footage, Brave 7 LE is in the left side of the screen, the succeeding video footage, the V50 is in the left side of the screen, which is which? It's decieving.
I was leaning towards the Brave 7 LE. But after seeing this video and some others regarding the V50x, it seems it is smoother with the stabilization, and has more visible details. I'm rarely going to need the audio for my final videos so I'm not too worried about the mic recording sound quality. This should do just fine video-wise for my 1080 60 FPS requirements. The V50x should pair up nicely with my older GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition.
V50X is really better in 4k than 1080p! it is such a pity people buy the v50x only to use it at 1080p thinking "it is a cheap camera and 1080p footage is good enough". If you want a 1080p action cam go get the EK7000 pro which is even cheaper than V50x and its 1080p footage IS gonna be superior to its 4k footage!
I just bought the 50x so i will see if making adjustments with the settings will tweak the camera I have both canon an panasonic dslrs . Settings if you are capable of setting compensation, as well as other setting syou know you can see big differences. I see the only difference in the quality is one video seems warmer and the other cooler but the video of both seem quite similar. As a new buyer to have small video camera I looked at various cameras on amazon, u tube it almost seems a couple manufacturers are making all the different cameras brandds since they pretty much have the same features, Having a tripod socket was very important to me and prevented me from buying a cheaper camera which had a plastic frame with the socket I like your video but so many different cameras in the same price range is crazy for buyers. I have not owned or used the go pro since I am probably not doing you tubing or blogging.
another great video. v50x by far in my opinion. so much more detail, contrast and overall better picture quality. the image stabilization has a smoother feel on the v50x when panning and doesn't have the laggy feel of the brave.
Would a v50x be a good option for a second view when self filming hunts. Basically main camera films the harvest and this films the bow shot looking at me while I shoot.
Good question. My brother n law is really big in to hurting. As a matter of fact, he and my 7 year old nephew are both hunters. I gave them a v50x to record their hunting and he said it was the biggest game changer for him. He take several pictures before and after and record everything lol. So to answer your question it would be perfect. My advice use the head mount for recording or a mini tripod.
@@techwithkenrobertson7439 appreciate the quick reply. You're channel has earned a sub for from me! My plan is to mount it looking at me while I shoot with the main camera on the deer. My only concern was low light but the price, & your videos, have me sold.
As someone who has both cameras did you have both in auto and not have a color profile selected because i only get that color on my v50x and brave 7 le when its in gorgeous/ beautiful color profiles
My V50X has never taken a picture on my phone in the Akaso app, only videos. I switch it to picture mode on the phone and press take a picture and it starts recording a video. Does anyone know the answer to how to fix this - or what I'm doing wrong - what I'm missing - is there a step there somewhere? I mean this is 10 days now I've never figured it out. I've tried setting the camera before turning on the Wi-Fi to the photos mode stuff like that; and also is there any way to get this wi-fi screen off of the Akaso itself and actually view what the camera is seeing regardless of the phone? I'm about to return this thing and I hate to do that.
That's exactly what I've been researching. I'm not finding any underwater comparison videos with akaso v50, 7le, 7 ... If I buy annakaso, I'll be creating lots of underwater videos. 🧜🏾♀️
Why does the brave which is more expensive look like shit? Is there an even better option than the akaso line up? Which go pro bracket is more comparable?
Hi Ken, Any latest news of firmware update on V50X? I remember you told that Akaso is planning for a new firmware update on July end / August 1s week. Have you had any further communication with Akaso staff?
I really love using Akaso V50X, and I noticed, that whenever Im editing the videos I took with Akaso V50X the volume seemed modulated/louder than the raw video itself
I just bought the Akaso V50X, i'm new in video and photo. Can you share your setting please? Because right now my Iphone 5 do better quality video and photo than my Akaso do. Thank You, good Video.
I most just shoot in the 4k @ 30 fps or 1080p @ 60 fps and use the auto settings. The only time I change settings is when its a cloudy day. The v50x has a cloudy settings. It's all about how you hold the action camera. You do all your color grading in post. Last make you use hevc 2.65.
The stabilization was so bad on the Akaso Brave LE, I returned it to Amazon and for one hundred dollars more, bought the Osmo Action Camera. Only had the Brave LE for just a few days. V50X was just a lot better. Loving my Osmo, especially the front camera.
Well it depends. They have a small sensor so the photos are definitely not going to be as good as a point and shoot camera. But if that is all you have got or can afford, then yes. Just remember they want be as good as your phone or point and shoot camera.
You must have messed up the settings on the Brave 7 cuz my 4k footage does not look like that at all. It looks a lot better than your footage of the v50x, crisp and beautiful.
@@techwithkenrobertson7439 yeah, low light is a big pain for me in these small cams because I use these to film training sessions and in the winter, light is an issue.
I guess yi 4k Plus+ is better than akaso brave 6 plus and brave 7 le in budget (cheap lineup). Brave 7 le though better deal and better built, but unfortunately lacks picture quality and max wide angle. Its far better to go for older gopros or dji osmo.
@@techwithkenrobertson7439 So far safe!! Well, work is uncertain!! People are gradually learning to live with this pandemic. How about you? How's everything?
Bought the 7le hoping it would be better than my older 7000 pro. Big disappointment! 7000 pro blew it out of water especially in 1080p60. I film ice fishing vids and it was bad. I liked the added features of 7le but vid quality is the most important . Can’t wait any longer for brave 7 so going to get V50 pro. Because of better audio. Returned 7LE Thanks
The keep pushing the date of release back. Which is the same thing they did with the brave 7LE. In my honest opinion I believe its going to be the watered down brave 7LE
After watching the majority of your reviews Ken I bought the v50x it's a really nice camera plus I can buy a second one for the extra camera shots you can get and the wrist remote that you can't get with gopros are a huge help when your solo blogging yourself. 2 akaso's Still cheaper then 1 go pro
Interesting comparison, thanks Ken. I will stick with my v50x for now. Apart from the audio it’s amazing for the price. I use it with my kids they batter it and still has a decent picture. I then also use it as a wide angle webcam. Perfect to get the whole family in for zoom calls in lockdown. So long as you have a different audio source😂 I am actually disappointed with the footage from the 7LE.
I already own the V50X. I was looking into the Brave 7 LE for the front screen, but this video makes me think it's not even worth it, because the image quality is so much worse.
I was leaning more towards the Brave 7 LE but this video has made me realise I need to decide carefully. Great video!
The brave 7 is coming out soon. I'll wait for that before I go with the brave 7 le. I had a lot of regrets with the 7LE

V50X pic quality was so good for the price. Great comparison video.
The comparion video convinced me. The v50x is in my Amazon cart THANK YOU!
The v50x looks just as good as a go pro 7
v50x produces by far a superior image in these tests

Quality off v50x it's mush better and sharper the frond screen off brave 7le cannot compensate this!!!
I thought the same thing
H/W not support real 4K can it by software on soc
I guess yi 4k Plus+ is better than akaso brave 6 plus and brave 7 le in budget (cheap lineup). Brave 7 le though better deal and better built, but unfortunately lacks picture quality and max wide angle. Its far better to go for older gopros or dji osmo.
Yeah but the akaso v50 pro se Leave No Trace is good as well. You just got to make sure you get the LNT version.
Also you wouldn't need a microphone. The audio recording is awesome
Good job!
