- How does this $99 Akaso V50X stack up against the $299 GoPro HERO 8? At 1/3rd of the GoPro price, the V50X still offers a touchscreen, 4K 30fps, stabilization, slow-motion, hyperlapse, and more... after watching the comparison let me know which you think has more bang for the buck!

I use my v50x for riding my bike and use it for time lapse shots of clouds and what ever I feel. I really like it.
Hi Ian, do you think it will look good for food visuals?
What rules do you use?
@@NansalFly Rules 34
you can easily "fix" the natural colors with some video editing
Thats exactly what i thought
Yes . In my budget a best camera !
Use nd filter instead
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.

I got my v50x a few weeks ago and the microphone is pretty good! At first I played back a video on the camera itself and the sound was horrible, but I realized it's the speaker NOT the microphone. Playing videos back on my computer proved the microphone works pretty well and I DIDN'T have to turn the volume up much on the computer to hear everything. It doesn't do very good in lower light. One cool thing is it takes the same batteries as my 11-year-old sj4000. Everything else is spot on just like you said. Pretty impressive for only $115!
You did not mention the possibility to add an external microphone to the Akaso v50X.
True
Does not work because sounds the same, it is just a waste of money.
In my opinion Akaso loses significantly only in two categories- audio and not being able to use distortion correction and EIS at the same time. Obviously biggest factor in choice is what you want to use it for. My only advice to people would be to adopt approach which I've learned from NASA - "Equipment doesn't have to be the best in it's category, it has to be good enough to do the job". After all after 2 , max 3 years from release it will be considered inferior and there's no point to spend lots of money for the one which is currently the best.
Overall, I'm happy that I just added the Hero8 to my arsenal. That stabilization is amazing, but I wish they had a better system for getting the microSD in and out. I always have to take the battery out and pop the door off. I love how the Osmo Action set theirs up. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it.
Haha, yea that micro sd slot is a bit jank! Fantastic EIS tho
I love my Akaso. No regrets. Super value for the money. The stabelizer is fantastic. I use it on my motorcycle. Mic could be better. Why to spend 3 times more ????
Does it do well on very bumpy roads while riding?
@@MDCCCXLI EIS works well on high shakes. No complains at all. Look, if your ride is extremally aggressive off road, then you might see a bit distortion. But, for the price, you can't beat it. I am looking to order the new 8 coming out. You should see it on 4K TV. super clarity.
This was a great comparison! I was looking for alternatives to GoPro for Christmas and I just realized that you are filming in Huntsville Alabama which is where I lived last year. One thing I noticed was the red dirt on the v50x doesn't look anything like what the real dirt looks like. The GoPro does a much better job on the color but for my purposes I don't think it is worth the extra money.
Just ordered the v50x for snowboarding and mountain biking for TH-cam. I really didn't want to spend the money on a gopro, I would rather put it towards whatever dji comes out with next lol. For the price, the v50x looks amazing, I can't believe the video quality looks almost as good as the gopro for a third of the price. Definitely good enough video quality for TH-cam and personal use. Thanks for this video, its probably the best out there for this camera👍
I've been watching many of your comparison videos, basically, GoPro Vs. the world. Where every camera looses me, is with the Audio. It seems like no other company cares are audio quality. So, Looks like a GoPro it is. Thanks for your time in doing all these videos. This is my first action camera, and I think the GoPro 8 fist the bill for me.
I have a V50X with firmware 20210928-V3.0 (purchased November 2021) which Akaso said is the latest. Sound is actually pretty decent and usable compared to older reviews. Using this camera to record Tesla FSD Beta videos. Videos on my channel on Nov 23, 2021 or later should have sound out of the camera mixed with VO's depending on the video. For $100 this camera is a steal considering the image quality. I appreciate its ability to record in low light.
Got the Akaso v50x. Better bang for the buck. Use it for biking, mostly on the road. Bonus: More accessories.
I ordered the v50x to use to record basketball footage along with other sports as well as drumming footage, this video helped me make the decision
My Akaso vx50 looks just like my Gopro Hero 4 on 4k and 1080 until you get in low light. But my Gopro cost $350 and doesn't even have an Led screen (4 years old). But it is a tough camera. I almost bought the Akaso 7000 but went with the V50 because it had real 4k. The Akaso battery life has so far been excellent. The vx50 was $100 on Amazon.
Comparing a GoPro 8 with an Akaso is slutty, lol... But I understand the reason, that is, it's to show that with a cheaper camera you can get excellent results, in my case it's great, I don't care about the sound , because I will edit in Adobe Premiere and insert music, if necessary I bought the external mic from Akaso to break a branch, as for the colors and sharpness I will also edit them in Adobe Premiere's Lumetri, that is, for me what matters is the stabilization, because I will use a lot on mountain bike, thanks for the great review ;) Brasil-SP
No doubt the GoPro is better, but at 1/3rd the price, knockoff Akaso or Campark action cams are hard to ignore for casual users. Not needing a waterproof case and the Hyper-smooth is really appealing for my needs, but I could totally live with the Akaso and just bump up the contrast, saturation, and maybe even use Premier's warp stabilization in post...
The giveaway was the occasionally jerky EIS of the Akaso. And also the narrower FOV with EIS turned on.
Im waiting for Akaso to make a external mic with better sound quality .when ?
for 99$ ... wow it is really impresive, most of cams in this price tag hasn't real 4k
Great video, helping me still in my search for the right setup for my application. I walk dogs in packs and i think an action camera would be awesome way to capture this experience. I’m still having a tough time deciding if i want an action camera or 360 camera. My Budget is probably gonna steer me towards an action cam but i think Dog pack walking with an 360 camera has just got to be insane. Thanks again for another awesome video and if you have a suggestion or pony me towards a good starter kit for a budget of a $1000 that would be awesome. Thanks so much. I think drone like videos from an action camera with an invisible selfie stick would just be stunning options for sending videos to our clients for their pups sessions.
Was the Akaso used in a plastic outer case? If not, the sound is a real fail. I have a much cheaper Akaso EK7000 with much better sound than that.
Get the Gopro hero 7 black. I have a akaso and it is just OK. When funds allow I'm upgrading to Gopro.
The Akaso V50X is basically the same thing as my Campark V30. I have been very happy with the Campark, but I would still like a Hero 8, just have to save my pennies!
nice review Ben 👍
im considering the akaso for a cheaper alternative. easy enough color fix with color grading
I did not watch you for a while now i do again and love the content❤
I'm still using the YI 4K, i'm still getting great video. Can't wait to see the review on the new akaso dual screen action camera
Ducks: what you doin' man!?
FIRST I’ve been waiting for this for a while ben
You're fast to the click! 💪👏
@@AuthenTech @BEN #1 How do I access my Gopro 8 "night mode"..is it vid or pics or both? #2 Why do all famous youtube review people seem to hate "Sharpness" ?? Pics/vid looks better to me on high than medium. GREAT VID (as usual) again !!!!

Thanks for the great review. Need one for my sons qb training which is a pocket breaker so a good less expensive option is what you just helped me decide on.
Just snagged this exact camera for $79.99 on an amazon lightning deal. Glad I got it
I could tell the difference. And the GoPro does look better. But not 3x the cost better.
Yo tengo una esa akaso v50x y sí qué hace un excelente trabajo y aparte el precio es super económico para lo que puede hacer la cámara, me gusta mucho : )
Just got the v50x for recording videos of me fishing still waiting for the sd to come can’t wait to check it out
I bought acaso v50x and will see.. I wanted a gopro 8black but please... Look at the reviews!! So many unhappy people and go pro doesn't care. Lots of problems with camera, battery and the most Customer service, so yeah I don't want to spend 300 and not be able to get help if something goes wrong take care
Grate video, thanks for that
I've almost watched all your GoPro8 related videos and now, I have bought one. Hopefully it lives up to be the good action camera I have heard about. Thank you for your reviews!
Sir i am from India, the review was peculiar and more useful.
Thank's for comparessing- it was very interesting to see!
NO WAY
I'm looking for an action cam for my euc rides, and TO SEE YOU START THE VIDEO OFF RIDING AN EUC IS INCREDIBLE!
I’ve been using my gopro for MTB videos. It’s awesome!
Thanks. Gonna get the v50x based on this as my intro to action cams
Good review. I do film my kids and dairy farm video with gopro6. Still in doubt betweem gopro and insta one r
I wouldn't mind if they made the gopro a size bigger.
Show de bola man, existe uma grande diferença de qualidade nas imagens.
I have a Hero 3+ and looking to upgrade to something more current. I am using it for filming Jeep trails, family vacations and general activities. What would you suggest?
Hi Ben, what do you think about the shooting quality of the Akaso V50x at 1080p (30fps). I really agree with you about the super goof quality of the Akaso at 4k30fps but I find that this quality takes a big deep at 1080p ... ?
I have the x! It's ok... And I also got the external mic. I have plans to use it at amusement parks and whatnot.
How do you like the mic
@@armandoveloz5644 it's pretty bad
@@ethanflynn2585 with the one from akaso or any in general. Sorry don't mean to be a bother. But I just order the 50v 4k/30
@@armandoveloz5644 the mic is pretty bad but better than the one on the camera. Hope you have fun with yours!
Great vid I was thinking man that looks like downtown. Then you show the Town ,great info looking at this cam v50 . Thanks
I have a GoPro hero 8 black that I use as a helmet cam when climbing and falling trees but wanted a second cam to use as a ground cam or in the trees mounted on a limb above my work position, so the review helped me decide on the V50 x. Just ordered one, looking forward to trying it out. Thanks Ben.
A little late but was it a good cam, is there a chance you still use it?
I'm trying to get a budget camera to film my skate videos, and the akaso v50x showed up. Pretty happy with how good it is and I'll be more confident in my decision to get this
I guessed it right. It was obvious. I wish there was more serious competition for GoPro cameras. I mean, how hard can it be to make a little camera when parts for them cost pennies.
definition of right into it. pls keep going
Great video!
I use my action camera only for fishing (fliming pike attacks).
Nice video. What do you recommend for a motoblog? 4κ 30 fps or something else?
Hi Ben, the akaso can be used as PC webcam via USB cable? I d like to use it as webcam in obs for streaming, many chinese action have this function but the quality lacks. This V50 Is great
Also the hero 8 can be used as a webcam =)
Great video I think you should make a video showing how the audio on the Gopro 8 is out of sync with the video...11 frames to be exact.
Try using voice command (GoPro start recording) on 4 clips, the first clip is fine when you get to clip 4 it looks like a badly dubbed Kung Fu movie. 👍
Thanks for the tip!
1:53 we just going to gloss over the fact you got a lunker swimming right there? That "fish" looks like its about to jump out of the water and turn into a Luck Dragon!
Akaso’s video with a little bit of colour grading would be killer, i think that it’s great for 100$.
Thanks, great comparison. I'd like to see more challenging uses for these comparison, such as on snow (which is very seasonal but I am looking for a action cam for snowboarding, but maybe sandy beach would also work) or on water for fishing shots.
I used to love GoPro but now they are major money mongers and are turning into the Apple of the action cam world. They have very good, if not the best overall quality but they sap your wallet dry by making you pay for every last little thing. I have the v50x and the hero7 and I honestly use the v50x more because I’m not so worried about breaking it, and it does most things you’d use it for just as good as the hero7. And you can make the colors pop like the hero7 in editing! I highly recommend the v50x for anyone looking for their first action cam or even for experienced action photographers who need a camera they can beat up on without hurting your wallet!
Next video YI 4K vs Akasao V50X would be nice
I think a really good test would be the color grading of each action camera. That would be the ultimate test to see at what point does each image/video break and how far can we push the dynamic range. Just a thought!
Thanks for sharing your idea. The reason I don't run those tests, I'm trying to aim my videos toward the average user, and I don't think the average is doing much color grading
Hey, Akaso has 13 megapixel sensor, so 20 mp photos are interpolated.
i just found out some interesting camera for vlogging and im hoping you can do a review on them as well
they are dji cosmo pocket and xiaomi fimi palm
since you always ride on e-scooters i always wonder how would they perform
go pro are always on top of their game but quite expensive
these alternatives are always nice to see
I want an action camera for mountain biking and just recording random stuff, maybe some drills. In my opinion the gopro is just too expensive, and I've been looking for something like the AKASO V50X. Akaso is cool because their products aren't THAT expensive.
I have a akaso ek7000 from 3 years ago i don’t use it very much I have a new camera
Great review!! For me the most major improvement in the gopro were the more saturated colors, is there a way to change the akaso's settings or somethin to make the colors more saturated like the gopro?
I'm looking to get an action can just to record my hiking trips which include rock climbing with friends. The audio was pretty disappointing on the V50x but I guess I don't mind attaching an external lapel mic to my phone and syncing the audio when I get home.
New Akaso review coming soon...
Dang, that audio was hideous! Thank you for this review.
It's so bad it makes me wonder how on earth it made it to production that way.
In other words, you're a good gopro fan boy !! 😆
Hi thanks for your rev :) . i'm looking for a action cam for spearfishing and motorbike. would you suggest v50 pro se? I'm just a worried about the lowlight underwater
Thanks. Avery informative and practical comparison.
Does anyone has it to answer me some questions? It would help a lot.
Is this camera now more stable and good to record videos? I saw a few months ago it had a lot of recording and desync problems, also the audio was really bad.
Is it good to be used today as a vlogging camera with an external mic, can I use other microphones instead the one wich comes with the V50X? Thanks
V50x better colors and did a very nice job on stability. It's now 119€ on Amazon.
Getting GoPro. I got an AKASO v50x and the lack of stabilization makes my videos look super gittery
I just bought the GoPro hero 11, Im using mine to film fishing/outdoor videos
I am looking for a affordable camera so I can record carpentry builds. The akaso looks good enough, thank you for the review its appreciated
Time to review the Akaso V50 Pro against the GoPro Hero 8. I believe that it is much better than the V50X and closer to the GoPro.
Great review! Do you think this camera is better that a Gopro5?
Me my self i'm using samsung note 10 plus for taking pictuers or video and using mavic mini drone from the dji
V50x is good if you need basic 4k for a low price, and video can improve after some saturation editing.
Sound sucks in the V50x.
I have a question about my akaso v50x. I am trying to take a night time-lapse, but I have a problem. I changed the exposure time to 5 seconds (under the photo settings) so that there would be enough light getting to the sensor in the dark environment. I tried taking a few photos and they turned out really good, but when I tried to take a time-lapse, it just used the auto exposure settings so the entire time-lapse turned out way to dark because the sensor was not getting enough light. I am able to change the settings for photos, but when I take a time-lapse it doesn't use my photo settings. (just to confirm, I am doing the photo time-lapse, not the video time-lapse) and ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I guessed right, that said some simple editing would help correct almost all the issues, which at a third of the price is a sacrifice I think many would be willing to make.
I have 2 AKASO V50X and the only downside is how much the stabilisation setting crops the recording. That’s the main reason I’m thinking of swapping to gopro.
So I see that you can put on an external micro. Is that so and if so any good
I knew the right side is go pro hero cus its pictuer amqzing but the Akaso i don't really like it colours is not looking good on Akaso
Got it right 99 Cam looks a little washed out. Yeah do the Review on the Mic for the $99 Cam
Thankyou for your review bro
best action camera reviews!
If you look at the trees and leaves the AKASO footage looks a bit sharper
Does the AKASO has any setting that could make the color more vibrant and a warmer color temperature? maybe it has settings for that, and that way the image could be closer to the GoPro
These akaso cameras audio don’t seem anywhere near as bad in other reviews
one more time a good job dear Ben !
hi there, do they Akaso v50 or the v7 are able to shoot RAW?
What is? the best budget action camera
Die Farben der Gopro Hero 8 sind natürlicher. Die gefällt mir.
Hi, what is the max resolution and fps in webcam mode?
I think the Akaso is great with just $99
I orderd a v50x to record airsoft
Wow, i really dont see a bad thing at that V50X, bought one of those 100 bucks actioncam two or three years ago, this Akaso is a whole diffrent league
It's pretty cool what we can get for budget dollar nowadays
The audio on the v50x seems to be extremely terrible..
Thanks.. I want try this akaso
