Just ordered it for $1008.98 total (with your coupon). Thanks. It just came down $20 for some reason. It was $118.99 before your code and your code brought it down -$17.85. Thanks again!
The DJI was surprisingly over exposed when you did the bright sunlight test, the Akaso handled the bright sunlight much better with a lot less whiteout, who'd have thought it.
My son received his Akaso Brave 7 LE from his mom and me this Christmas. Early signs are that it is a very good camera indeed for its budget price. Having read and listened to a number of reviews, we decided to buy him the Akaso, the price being the major factor. Well aware the Gopro and Osmo are by far better cameras but the prices reflect that. Akaso Brave 7LE is not to be ignored!
Capt, you failed to mention the most important feature...that 1/4" mounting is worth 100$ sometimes but to have it on there in the first place is very nice. Thanks
Thank you for putting the unboxing at the end instead of the beginning! I hate sitting through an unboxing before I even know if I'm interested in something. Great video. I've got on of these on the way to serve as a second cam to my Gopro.
I am so glad that I found this excellent, informative and detailed review even if it’s a few years old! I just purchased the entry level AKASO EK 7000 which I like a lot. The Brave 7 LE will be my next purchase. I find myself really excited about the AKASO brand of action cameras, and really don’t find it necessary to spend hundreds of dollars more for a camera that practically has the same performance and less accessories. I don’t know if you’re still posting video content like this, but I have subscribed anyway. Thank you again.
Picked one up as well, going to post some test footage from mountian biking soon. It's taken some tinkering and the stabilization definitely doesn't stand up to the dji or gopro. It works and for the price it's extremely well built. For vlogging and just walking and stuff it would be a great camera, but upgrading to a hero 8 in the near future due to the stabilization. Great review!
I received this camera today and I’m very pleased with how it works. Thanks again for providing a great review and coupon. I’ll be purchasing my FPV stuff - probably around Christmas 🎄- and I’ll definitely try to use your site to save money and offer my support. 😎👍👍
Awesome video. I have made several videos on the Akaso V50 Pro and love what Akaso is doing for the money. I'll have to check this one out now. I have to agree too, that the camera view is more narrow than a GoPro, even in it's wide view. But for the price, it's definitely worth it. Thank you again for an awesome video.
I was so impressed Steve that I purchased one along with an Osmo Pocket for my new blogging Chanel I will be launching soon in the UK. Thanks for sharing.
So I purchased one on Amazon and got it today ( the Akaso Brave LE ). Amazon sent me a special offer so I got it for $119. Wow what a great little Action Camera. It is just as you described. You get a lot for your money. Very high quality in my opinion.
Seems like an overall good value and I came close to buying one, but after watching a bazillion YT reviews on generic action cams I've come to the conclusion that really good sharpness, dynamic range, flat grading profile, and very smooth stabilization (beyond just walking) only comes from the big names. For $199 the DJI Osmo Action with spare battery on Amazon now has fewer compromises. It's older, but overall still comparable to the GoPro Hero8. I felt that was worth the extra $. If I get around to configuring my jumper mulitiprotocol TX I might slap it on my old 5" quad...
Thanks for your review and the most important Point for us Pilot's, the fov are to narrow. Ok, the stabilazion are also important an not hypersmooth likley. If I doesn't have a quad, then I would absolutely buy it. I like this cheeper one with a good picture for the price.
Great video. I have been looking for one that put the cam on a RC car. Question.. at around 5:56 you turn on the lav mic. Was the Lav connected to the camera? What is the make and model of your lab? If not connecter to the camera, what are you recording audio on? Your audio sounds excellent. Thank you.
I bought two to do documentaries (when gas is cheaper) and for stop motion animation. Talk about multi-use. I didn't know it had time-lapse as I just got them from Amazon for Father's Day yesterday. Thanks for showing the review. I also bought Movo wireless lavaliers to make up for the poor sound capture. I get two mic transmitters to one receiver which is perfect for traveling, interviewing, and filmmaking. For anyone serious about filmmaking, you should have separated sound from the camera - the poor sound quality wasn't a big deal for just this reason. My Nikon DSLR can't do most of the stuff this does and I was able to buy two, and the lavs for about 20% of the DSLR. Now that's budget filmmaking. Add good lighting and it's a done deal. Thanks for this simple video. You sold me.
I've a quick question. I was going to get one but on another review someone said when they put the micro sd card into their Apple Computer that it was reading the card in slow motion? I've a MacBook Air laptop. Granted it could've been a defective sd card to an older OS for the user's computer. In your opinion have you heard of any computer read problems? If not i'm going to get it.
VERY COOL ! And looks like a good price point !! Thanks again Captain. And this thing can do a lot !! Very cool camera ! Maybe next up- you can show us how this can be mounted on a drone ? Always good info, Captain, Thanks, Wulfy
Great review, Cap! I recently bought my first action cam, a Crosstour for only about $35, and it's worth every penny! LOL, no, it works OK and for the price no problemo. This Brave 7 sounds like it might be my next purchase. No way would I ever pay for a DJI Osmo thing. Well, not until I make my first million, anyway.
Haha, I just ordered the Dji osmo action, if you do your research like I have been doing you’ll find the osmo has dropped in price and is a whole lot better than the akaso
Good review. My primary criticism is that you put music to the outside car/rc/drone videos and I would have preferred the ambient audio. I just ordered this for $112+tx from Amazon.
Can you print photos directly from the camera to a WiFi printer? Are there printer drivers for it? Can you have it connected to your phone and then print photos from camera via phone to WiFi printer? Must you download and save photos from camera to phone to print? Of course the SD card can be removed and printed from/to printer?? TY...nice review.
Seriously considering one of these as a secondary camera for the motorbike... I think as a secondary where you're not worried about the audio, this could be a fantastic camera
I just purchased me one of these because you made a good point on how high quality this is for the price and I was needing a new action cam and the duel screen is a plus thanks Captain Drone
I realize the 7LE is yesterday's paper, but can anyone that still has one confirm that the older firmware didn't allow high speed playback speed on recorded clips? The one I got recently only does 1x, and I wonder if this is something that only happened with later firmware versions or if no one ever noticed it because they don't usually play back clips on the camera.
I would likely never shoot at night, so this is a great camera! That drone footage is awesome! And the Traxx 4x4 RC footage- was really good for that price camera! Would be great for my mountain biking videos and kayaking! Great review! Excellent job!
How do you use it as an fpv does it connect to goggles or a phone and what is the max range away from the operator and what type of goggles would it be good whith
I have been testing a few Akaso and Cooau cameras. I almost bought the Brave 7 LE... but without an external mic... nope. Dec 20th Akaso comes out with the Brave 7... with external mic.
@@suzukisv6507 Yes! I have it on mine for a year now. Great in 4k. I use it mostly in 1080. Video is smooth and zero shaking. Batteries run up to 90 mins each. You should get more batteries or use USB cable to constant charging.
@@suzukisv6507 I am so appreciative to Akaso that I am looking now to get the Bravo 7LE. These cameras quality for the simple life vs the dollar is unmatched. Make sure you get the memory card they recommending. Good luck !!!!
I have the GoPro Hero 8 and am happy with the stabilization and quality of picture, but this one might be worth the effort to give it a try. I need a camera to use on my boat when offshore fishing. It would be clamped onto the tower and can quickly grab and get up close action, but would like the option to have it plugged up to either a power bank or external USB power to keep it going all day. I can't do this with the GoPro as it will overheat and shut down. On my older GoPro Hero3 Black, I was able to connect to power and also an HDMI feed to my boat electronic display and view on the large screen. Again, I can't do this on any of the later GoPro Camera models, so looking for a different camera that can do this. Any idea on this one?
Not bad? I would agree it is hard to find an example of a camera that would be cheaper and as good without getting into the portable gimbal cameras like Fimi Palm and the Feyiu cameras. Both around $215 respectively.
Not bad at all, I’ve got a runcam 5 orange, which I use for motor bike rides, and when I get my new drone I’ll be using it, but I’d like something for in my car, this could just be the one for me. The picture quality looks pretty darn good to me.
Nice camera in a very sensible price. If I wouldn't have GoPro 8 Black already then I would definitely wanted to try this Akaso. I truly value your videos.
Excellent review, main points needed covered, no waffle, good shots & edit, subscribed. Add timestamps for sections in blurb & you'll get million subs. 👍
Tnx for reviewing, just the video i was searching for. The only problem now is the brave 7 le is mostly sold out from where im from which is a good sign it is a good product.
Excellent video editing, composition and a pleasant performance. I assume by now that you have figured out that the narrower field of view on the Brave 7 is caused when you have image stabilization turned on. That's because the Akaso uses software to analyze each frame and adjust the composition to minimize camera shake and this operation reduces the field of view slightly to accomplish the same. I put up some motorcycle videos and came to the same conclusions, great camera for the price, perfectly acceptable performance for a camera at this price point, pretty disappointing audio. I would love to know how or if you were able to use the external mic with the Brave 7 or did I misunderstand that demonstration ?
Thanks for a great video, Steve. I've ordered mine through your link and look forward to seeing what this can do. For the money, it definitely looks like a good deal!
Def wanted to buy the insta 360 but the overheating and the hack/workaround are a no go. I’m attaching this to a 3 year old and don’t want to risk the overheating. This sounds like a better option minus the $500 price tag Also, thanks for listing all the software and hardware for filming.
thats the killer choise for me....external audio...does it take an external mic because most cameras have garbage onboard audio...i just got the fimi palm and even it has junk onboard audio
The AKASO brand action cameras all have the ability to use an external mic either sold by the company or a 3rd party company. I just didn't have one to test.
I am wanting to buy a Akaso Brave 7 LE to use as a dash cam on the top part of my cars windscreen (windshield in the USA). If I hang it upside-down near the rear view mirror, can the back LCD panel flip 180 degrees so that it is oriented correctly ? and has it got loop recording so that it records over old footage when the card is full ? thanks
I have not bought it yet but I intend to use this (or other) camera mounted on my dirt bike helmet - with (in this case) the recommended/required Akaso micro USB microphone. The problem I am presented with is I need to encase the camera in the unit's case atop my helmet with the microphone running from the camera atop my helmet down to the helmet's nosepiece. How does a user attach the microphone's micro USB cable into the camera? If the micro USB door swinga open? Or is the micro USB door removable...or would I need to use a Dremel to permanently remove it?
I like the combination price / performance of the product, if I crash my drone with this camera it is not so bad. however for us Canadians, Amazon.com will not ship it to Canada & Amazon.ca don't have it yet. Great review. Thanks Steve.
I am biting at the bit as they say on this one!!!! I do not blog however I do own a gimbal that can assist on the EIS with this camera? what do you think. I do like the front facing screen
your code does not work anymore. but i ordered one because my nikon coolpix got wet inside again. gonna get a gopro but i need to do some research. figured i could not go wrong for 139.00.. yes they went up. but not too bad considering everything else in 2021
You have a far better impression of this camera than I do. From the beginning I didn't like the short depth and pixelated performance of the Wifi. Looks like the video from an old drone I own. I recommend you buy a older model Hero 4,5 or 6 online for about the same price and get quality footage rather than limp whistles and bells.
As noted in the video, the camera is not the same experience as a GoPro or OSMO Action, but for the price you get more than the price, because there is nothing else on the market at this price that gives you this much.
Awesome camera for the price. I bought an Akaso V50 pro SE about a year ago and am very happy. Maybe now buyers will see how GoPro are ripping everyone off with their crazy prices. And what you get with a GoPro. Nice one Steve.
Iam planning to buy action camera for vlogging! But thank's to you for reviewing the any kind of camera! Iam just a small vlogger! Iam from Republic of the Philippines! The smaller island in the Asia!
Sir for your opinion which akaso camera is so good for low budget like 3,000 peso in Philippines but it's touch screen. Waiting for your advice. Thank u
Good review - thanks. Can it be worn on the wrist without the waterproof case? I don't need wifi etc so will be turning most of the jazzy stuff off. I just need a good quality cam with decent battery life. My GoPro lasts about 90 mins - how long would this last on one battery at 1080 with no wifi, no screens etc? Thanks
Hi sir..im from the philippines. And im kinda starting into vlogging i have already 5 videos shots with my huawai nova 5t..but seeing this akaso brave 7le is kinda interesting.. Would u recomend this cam for a beginners like me? Most of my vlogs are into foodies and events..
You sound like you are on a budget with not much to spend, so if that is the case, this is the best camera you can buy if you don't have very much money to spend.
Nice video presentation, i just ordered myself one yesterday. And looking forward to use it when we do pumpkin picking on a rainy day tommorow! All the best to u! ☺
Just ordered it for $1008.98 total (with your coupon). Thanks. It just came down $20 for some reason. It was $118.99 before your code and your code brought it down -$17.85. Thanks again!
The DJI was surprisingly over exposed when you did the bright sunlight test, the Akaso handled the bright sunlight much better with a lot less whiteout, who'd have thought it.

Perfect for my budget ! Definitely getting it . Thanks for the review
Thank you Captain, qq, can you unscrew the lens protector to use Osmo Action's ?

Was the Lav connected to the camera?
What is the make and model of your lab?

Wait. I thought akaso brave 7 le does not support external mic? did it change or something?
It did not support an external mic at the time of the review, and I never said I was recording audio to the AKASO BRAVE 7

There's a way you can adjust so you can get even wider image.
Just bought the v50 elite, then saw the review of this one and had to get that one as well.

Thank you
Excellent review, main points needed covered, no waffle, good shots & edit, subscribed. Add timestamps for sections in blurb & you'll get million subs. 👍
Tnx for reviewing, just the video i was searching for. The only problem now is the brave 7 le is mostly sold out from where im from which is a good sign it is a good product.
Dji called they would like their design back ;)
Lol
Got em
Thumbs up ere' Captain, great price for action camera. Many thanks for sharing the info :)
Great review. Yours is the only one I've seen on the 7 LE that mentions the remote is rechargeable.
Glad I could help
Thanks for the review Captain. Really good piece of kit for the price. Only 213.80 NZD, but unfortunately it doesn't ship here for some reason.
Excellent video editing, composition and a pleasant performance. I assume by now that you have figured out that the narrower field of view on the Brave 7 is caused when you have image stabilization turned on. That's because the Akaso uses software to analyze each frame and adjust the composition to minimize camera shake and this operation reduces the field of view slightly to accomplish the same.

You cannot use an external mike with the akaso, that is the big let down that he failed to mention

Hope you enjoy it!
I got it but the front screen is not turning on? Nevermind, I had to hit and hold the m button for a few seconds.
Def wanted to buy the insta 360 but the overheating and the hack/workaround are a no go. I’m attaching this to a 3 year old and don’t want to risk the overheating.
This sounds like a better option minus the $500 price tag
Also, thanks for listing all the software and hardware for filming.
could you do a quick video showing the 2.7k 60fps video on a drone? i dont wanna buy it if the quality for that setting isnt on point.
What is better in 4k 30fps video recording? Akaso brave 7Le or Apeman A100?
Thank you in advance for your response :))
Nice video!
thank you captain for putting so much effort in this review. YOU NAILED IT😁👍🏼

If I hang it upside-down near the rear view mirror, can the back LCD panel flip 180 degrees so that it is oriented correctly ? and has it got loop recording so that it records over old footage when the card is full ? thanks
Good job Capt., thanks for your work.
thank u for the review.. how long will it take before the battery get drain?
Fantastic detailed review as always Steve... Best wishes to you for the New Year..👏👏☘
Happy new year!
I have not bought it yet but I intend to use this (or other) camera mounted on my dirt bike helmet - with (in this case) the recommended/required Akaso micro USB microphone. The problem I am presented with is I need to encase the camera in the unit's case atop my helmet with the microphone running from the camera atop my helmet down to the helmet's nosepiece. How does a user attach the microphone's micro USB cable into the camera? If the micro USB door swinga open? Or is the micro USB door removable...or would I need to use a Dremel to permanently remove it?
I like the combination price / performance of the product, if I crash my drone with this camera it is not so bad.
however for us Canadians, Amazon.com will not ship it to Canada & Amazon.ca don't have it yet.
Great review. Thanks Steve.
Yup, we always get burnt for the first 6 months. We should see it on AMAZON.CA by Christmas.
I am biting at the bit as they say on this one!!!! I do not blog however I do own a gimbal that can assist on the EIS with this camera? what do you think. I do like the front facing screen
It is designed for someone on a budget who can't afford a GOPRO. On a gimbal it should be even smoother than shown in this video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you sir, I do believe it will be in my possession. Stay safe
your code does not work anymore. but i ordered one because my nikon coolpix got wet inside again. gonna get a gopro but i need to do some research. figured i could not go wrong for 139.00.. yes they went up. but not too bad considering everything else in 2021
Great video, thanks. Does it WiFi with iPhone ? Thanks
Very impressive for the price. If I still ran action cams on my quads i'd give it a shot , but I just switched to the dji fpv system
You have a far better impression of this camera than I do. From the beginning I didn't like the short depth and pixelated performance of the Wifi. Looks like the video from an old drone I own. I recommend you buy a older model Hero 4,5 or 6 online for about the same price and get quality footage rather than limp whistles and bells.
As noted in the video, the camera is not the same experience as a GoPro or OSMO Action, but for the price you get more than the price, because there is nothing else on the market at this price that gives you this much.
Thanks for reviewing this reasonably priced action camera Steve ! The RC hobby is expensive enough, so thrifty alternatives are welcome 😉
Very true!
I am going get one. Not sure if they are coming up with a newer model. I don't need to any overpriced brand name.
Review the Cooau spc-02..Native 4K 60fps ambarella Sony chip..image quality is amazing didn’t like 4K 60 as much as 4K 30, amazingly stable
I would like to know how it performs at night using the long exposure mode
Awesome camera for the price. I bought an Akaso V50 pro SE about a year ago and am very happy. Maybe now buyers will see how GoPro are ripping everyone off with their crazy prices. And what you get with a GoPro. Nice one Steve.
How much does it weigh? Can it be decased like a go pro to make a naked brave 7?
I use this same one, love it for recording my hikes
Iam planning to buy action camera for vlogging! But thank's to you for reviewing the any kind of camera! Iam just a small vlogger! Iam from Republic of the Philippines! The smaller island in the Asia!
Sir for your opinion which akaso camera is so good for low budget like 3,000 peso in Philippines but it's touch screen. Waiting for your advice. Thank u
These cameras are designed exactly for people who do not have a very big budget to buy something good like a GoPro.
Good review - thanks.
Can it be worn on the wrist without the waterproof case?
I don't need wifi etc so will be turning most of the jazzy stuff off. I just need a good quality cam with decent battery life. My GoPro lasts about 90 mins - how long would this last on one battery at 1080 with no wifi, no screens etc?
Thanks
Hi sir..im from the philippines. And im kinda starting into vlogging i have already 5 videos shots with my huawai nova 5t..but seeing this akaso brave 7le is kinda interesting.. Would u recomend this cam for a beginners like me? Most of my vlogs are into foodies and events..
You sound like you are on a budget with not much to spend, so if that is the case, this is the best camera you can buy if you don't have very much money to spend.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thankyou sir.. Now im very much decided to buy this akaso brave 7..thanks again.. Godbless🙏🙏🙏
Nice video presentation, i just ordered myself one yesterday. And looking forward to use it when we do pumpkin picking on a rainy day tommorow! All the best to u! ☺
Do you think a firmware update could improve the low light video?
It would be interesting to know if the accelerometer data could be used with the plugin REELSteadyGo that gopro uses?
