- Well well well, Akaso has released yet another 4K action camera, this one is the Akaso V50 X. Native 4K@30 with much improved EIS, but the real question is, is this the best Akaso action camera yet? Let's find out !
Pro's:
Very nice 4K
Great battery life
Decent build quality
Excellent (budget) EIS, it's very very good !
Con's:
Very very bad audio, I had to boost the audio 5 db just to get a somewhat normal audio out of it, probably the worst audio I have tested yet.
2K & 1080 are very bad (just stick to 4K)

Thank you for the review! Was looking for a budget action camera and this really helped
My pleasure
The stabilization looks really good on this camera considering it's price. Great review buddy
Man. Your videos just keep getting better and better. Love it! 👍
Basic Filmmaker : Thank you Sir ! Still debating a name for the new channel, any input ?
@@WORTHITORNOT Well, if you're known and have the most views and subs from this channel, I'd go with something similar. If you want o try something different, don't care, are testing out how to make TH-cam work (basically my entire channel - LOL!) something different. ANDRE SPEAKS. :)
@@BasicFilmmaker : lol@Andre Speaks. At the end of this video I talked about what my ideas were for the new channel, something to where I can be more creative with different styles of content without alienating viewers of this channel who are looking for product reviews only. I was thinking just off the cuff vlogs, doing live streams there and start putting up my short films there with more how to and behind the scenes kind of stuff.
@@WORTHITORNOT You could call it "The worth it or not second channel with different styles of content without alienating viewers of my other channel" channel? OK, sorry, I'm wasting your time and being no help at all. :)

BOOSTEDLASER : If you have the budget for the GoPro, then yes the Hero 7 Black is exceptional in every way. If you’re on a tight budget this camera is very good.
Did you have to up the volume on the v50x during editing? Everyone else's comparison videos show the X has about 50% volume vs the others.
@@trd88noz : Yes I had to up the volume by 5 db in editing so that I could be heard clearer. Akaso told me they are coming out with a firmware update to fix the audio on the V50X, so hopefully they will be releasing it sometime this month, and when they do I will do an update video.
Improved so much from the previous version, best comparison video, simple and concise, keep it up...
I have had my AKASO V50X for about a month. I absolutely love this camera. It works much better than the other two sports cameras I have had. Much easier to love because it is so easy to set up and change the settings. Some of the reviews are not impressed with the sound. I photographed NASCAR for 8 years and my hearing was damaged. I am able to hear and understand the replay much better than most of the others. None of the others are better, some are just equal. One more thing that is very important to me. How does the manufacturer look at the customers. Well, I will put them up with Apple and Canon. I am totally impressed by the camera and the company. JE
Wonderful video review of this camera. Stabilization is excellent it appears.
The EIS is the best Akaso has offered yet.
Awesome review thnx m8
Hi i liked your video on the Akaso v50x just got mine yesterday 4/11/20 awesome camera Thanks for the info keep up those videos.
Glad you like it
Great review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Another excellent review - thank you. I think this is an excellent option for folks who don't want to spend more than $100 on an action camera - hard to beat this camera's 4k/30fps resolution plus its EIS at that price. Its color profile looks more red than the original, however. I thought the original looks most natural of these 3 Akaso action cams.
Great video! Thank you
Thank you for watching !
I have the V50 Pro...however I like the colors of the V50x better from what your video showed. Hopefully the sound issue will be resolved......the fact you have EIS on all speeds is hard to beat....especially at this price. Good video....thanks for making and sharing.
Thanks for watching Neal !
Love your review of the Akaso V50X. I was bouncing around with different models and your video cemented the deal for me. The audio isnt the best but the EIS and picture is for me and at $99 how can I get in to the action cam world with any less? Thanks for the work you did. New sub here and looking forward to seeing all of your work. Thanks again my friend!
tq for the good review.
The 4K is not as crisp as I would have thought, but that stabilization is great. Just ordered one and thanks for your great reviews !
Thank you for watching, commenting and of course, ordering one as it does help my channel.
Thanks for this review, I was confused between v50pro and v50x now I will go with X for my Moto vloging..!!
Hii bro external mic is their for this & how it is working on motovlog without external mic plz reply if u have link plz send me
@@kottekbkdubs9464 okey the voice is ok not a big issue related to mic but we can increase audio when me create our blogs. Problem is the zoom effect that crops my dash and hands from the bike ,if i concentrate on road. And if i concentrate on dash then i lose the straight sight of the road. Although a new firmware is released to resolve this zoom effect but their are some audia issues related to that release
I just got an e-mail from Akaso that let me know they would be selling an external microphone for the V50X which hopefully will give it much audio. Hopefully you can get your hands on one soon so you can test it to see if the audio is significantly improved.
I've been watching reviews/tests on Akaso Pro / Pro SE / X to help decide which to go for. An observation is that various reviews have different issues with same model which I guess may be firmware version difference as that is not usually shown in reviews.
In your test, the audio on the X was much louder than I've heard previously. The Pro when on 1080/60 EIS On often comes out quite 'rubbery' on the edges whilst others, like your review, was fairly stable. Still deciding .... Great work with the reviews!
Thanks for watching !
Thank you
I like them all 3 as a Akaso Brave 4 usser for a year now i think the V50x or V50pro will be my next actioncam.
I have not had the chance to try the Brave 4, but heard good things about it's image. The V50 X has very nice EIS, just wish the audio was as good as the V50 Pro, but hopefully a firmware update will fix it.
@@WORTHITORNOT The brave does well for 1080/60fps but dull audio sadley.
Wonderful and useful video for consumers. I also visited and follow your new channel. Blessings to you.
Video 4. Next suggested. It hot. There’s a theme here. 👍
Humm, maybe more HOT videos :)
@12:35 you show bubbles on the screen. Those bubble are air trapped under the "screen protector" (like what many people put on their cellphones). My V50 Pro had a bubble too.
To be precise about this... there is a thin plastic sheet you pull off like you would most new electronics products, then there is a screen protector Akaso seemingly applies to the LCD. It is this next sheet that can also be peeled off. Warning: do not peel beyond these two sheets.
Great video . please try to compare Xiaomi seabird 4k action camera with akaso v50 pro .
Hi Andre, IMO this is a very nice unit and I found the image very stable, the colour profile was good for me and the audio was ok (yes a tad muffled) but acceptable as well. As a budget camera this one gets a big thumbs up from me.
Hello Darryl ! It is a good all around camera and the EIS is very good considering it’s budget price
Great review. I prefer the colors on the V50Pro. Wish you had reviewed the remote. As a hunter I need a good remote to activate the camera without movement and from short distances. The Pro remote works ok but always looking for the next cost effective improvement.
I also prefer the colors on the V50 Pro as it's a bit sharper and better color saturation. I tried to use the remote, but mine did not work as stated in the video. Thanks for watching Peter.
Thank you. I missed that comment about the remote not working. Too much going back and forth with work while watching.
@@Rstpete1 : haha, no worries
thx for the review, i buy this camera on aliexpress, greetings from the netherlands😉👍
Dynamic range seems to be better than the other two when you them under the shadow area.
Thank you Sir. It for my grandson, he is very young, 9 yrs. Want to help him set it up and mount it on his bike. Will look for " 4K@30 for the best image, EIS set to on and everything else on "auto" "- settings, he will be set too roll. Till Christmas however, I have camera in hand already as of today.
Congrats and you're very welcome !
I have two v50 pros and love them but this 'x' version seems to kick ass on stabilization but the color looks off. That said, post can fix that perhaps. Are you sure the purple fringing is not chromatic aberration? Thanks for the review. I'm going to get one and check it out. The nice thing about running several cameras is you can use the best audio. With all these budget cameras, one should be running several at once to get different angles anyway.
I got my V50x today and first tests kick butt. I would love to see this compared to a GoPro 7. I do wish Akaso would standardize a menu on their cameras though. That said, I like the controls on this (V50x) over the v50 -- you can start a video without accidently turning the camera off. Good for helmet cam work.
May I know does the Akaso v50x come with adjustable angle (wider scene) while the distortion correction is on for video recording? I tried the SJCAM SJ8 Pro for my dancing recording and I do not like the fish eye effect, thus I turned the distortion correction ON but the scene was not wide enough afterwards. Please kindly advise. Thanks.
My V50X arrived ( no audio sync issues so far) and neglected to consider mounting options. It seems a frame/cage mount will suit me best as a base to work from. Since there are none available I figure to get a more generic one and Dremel out the bits I need. Please, can you tell me, oh kind and wise Pixelmaster, if the V50X dimensions are close to those of a more popular/mature cam that may have a frame available? Also, will other lenses and covers fit? Something with a foam gasket that can be pressed on would be great. This is my 1st action cam and I am a clueless noob.
Hello Eddie, I am not sure about a frame that will fit this camera, also I don't have any lens covers that fit it properly (yet) still looking around ebay though to see what I can find. Might want to contact Akaso customer service about the frame, it "might" be something they will be offering or can steer you in the right direction to one that fits.
Hey bro. I'm a new subscriber. I like your review videos and I also see that you reply to the comments which I really appreciate.
I have a quick question for you:
I'm planning to make Moto vlogs and I have set my eyes on the akaso v50 pro at the moment. My main concern is the compatibility of external microphone as I don't want wind blast to be heard while recording..
Could you suggest a good action camera that's good for Moto vlogs. Except go pros. And can v50 pro is compatible with external Mike. What do you say?
Thanks in advance.
V. Vignesh : Get the Firefly 8 SE comes with an external microphone that sounds very good and you can mount inside your helmet
pretty impressive in the EIS for the50X, not a fan of the clicking when zooming in and out though. I thought the colors were a bit "shady" per say. Overall I thought they were similar...
Yeah that clicking is very annoying, I wish they did it like the SJ5000X Elite and just push the button one time and hold down and it automatically slowly would zoom in/out. The V50X is not as sharp as the other 2 and a bit muddy when compared. The EIS is really good though.
Fyi, my v50 elite had the green tinge issue. I made a complaint to the company and they sent me a firmware update, which seemed to fix it.
Is there any perspective correction or an option to record at 90 degrees angle instead of wide angle?
Yes it does have distortion correction
Okay, I've had my V50x for about a couple of weeks and love it. I purchased an external microphone and sound has improved immensely. However, I have an issue with the camera freezing. it just started to feeeze and not record. I had to pull the battery to gt it to turn off. when starting back up, some freezing takes place. I hear this may be connected to using the Wi-Fi function which I do use. Can anyone confirm and, if this is the culprit, offer a solution?
I have had no issues with mine freezing. Might want to contact Akaso directly and see what they say.
Forgot to ask, have you done a review on an external light source used with a 1/4 screw mount on a gimbal? I purchased the Hohem 2. thank you
Edwin I have not done a review of a light source on the gimbal, but have used one on some shoots where the camera needed a bit more light and it works great. This is the light I used, inexpensive and works great : amzn.to/31RJqqx
Hey Andre,
How about doing an Akaso V50 Pro Special Edition review? That would complete the Akaso V50 series.
Akaso is sending me the V50 SE and should be here soon, once they do I will put up a review video of it.
Is the Samsung Evo Plus microSDXC 64GB U3
Compatible to v50x ?
Never mind you pointed out what I saw - there is a purple hue in the video where the tree shadow and sky meets. Odd. I don’t know. That would bother me.
Not just you, I even mentioned it a few times in this video
I have the V50. I can tell a big difference in the EIS in your video. I'm impressed. Are you able to connect to wifi from camera to your phone? Either it was my V50 or my app itself.
I really don’t like using apps from these lesser known companies, but yes the EIS on this V50X is much improved
Just got it, and honestly I'm starting to have a few questions. There's a Micro USB connector that on the user manual is mentioned as micro HDMI, but it works as USB and I can transfer data on the PC with it, so what is the other connector that is naed Mini USB on the user manual? Did they mistake names? And if that's the case, how is the camera supposed to support an external microphone in the future?
I watch a lot of ur reviews and this one helped me make my mind. I think i finally go with this akaso v50x. I ll use it on a kayk Fishing .. so stabilization is very required. I cant think another cam under $120 with better IES. Btw... noticed there isnt accessories for this cam for sale.. with this in mind, is v50 pro accessories compatible with v50x? Like waterproof case and batteries, for example?
This camera comes with a ton of accessories and it’s own waterproof case as well. The batteries are not the same physical size but the V50X does come with 2 1350mAh batteries.
@@WORTHITORNOT true, but thinking in future, maybe you ll need a extra battery. Another example, if the case breaks. I dont understand why there is no accessories for this camera in market.. maybe because its a new model? I little afraid buy it and dont find accessories in future.
Alain Le Campion : I’m sure there will be more accessories coming as it’s a new camera
@@WORTHITORNOT this make sense. Thank you very much!
Hello Andre, what is a good all around camera setting , to simply let the camera do its thing, as in maybe a better term " automatic" or perhaps does this camera have auto and manual? Thanks. Yes, also, same place of purchase. That is where we bought it.
I would say 4K@30 for the best image, EIS set to on and everything else on "auto" , really good all around camera and at it's current price a great buy amzn.to/3FugXMC
Thanks for the review. Would you be able to get your hands on the Akaso Pro SE and compare it with the V50X and the V50 Pro. I wonder is the Special Edition is actually all that special. It claims to shoot 4K at 60fps.
If they send me one I’ll be more than happy to do a comparison video
chad murphy : Just got the V50 Pro SE sent to me.
@@WORTHITORNOT can't wait to hear how you think it compares to the other Akaso models.
Hello, how are you? Congratulations on the channel, I don't speak English. Which one is better for me to buy?
AKASO 50 X, PRO or ELITE? Or between AKASE and ThiEYE T5 Pro 4 K / 60fps; Would you help me? Thank you very much...
I would recommend the V50Pro as it has the best image quality
if your V50X has some video/audio problems, a 20191101-V1.0 firmware for V50X is out. I can send a link to you. Did you try that to fix the video/audio sync problem?
Already got it right after it came out and the audio sync issue is still there.
Thank u for the review..what can u recommend between v50x or v50 pro se?
V50 Pro SE
hi, thanks for the review!!! i just bought V50 pro and i returned it because was very bad quality at 1080p.... can you suggest me a camera with good quality in 1080p? thanks...
The Firefly 8SE is a good choice or even the Hero 5 as they can be found cheap new.
would you recommend it for motovlogging on a Harley? im not worried about audio during the ride. I handle that in post production.
The EIS works very well in 4K and since you're handling audio in post then yes, this should fit your needs
Hey, great video. Maybe you will do comparison between Akaso V50X and SJCAM SJ8 pro? It would be nice to see side by side them possibilities.
Cause I saw comparison V50X and YI 4K+. Akaso has much better EIS than YI.
Sure, I can do a comparison for you
@@WORTHITORNOT It would be nice, cause I thinking to buy one and we have some price difference. So I keen to see if it is worth to pay more.
@@TheSimas11 : Just did a quick video for you, should be uploaded in the next hour of the Akaso V50X vs the SJ8 Pro. Hope this helps.
@@WORTHITORNOT thanks a lot. You are amazing
I'm looking for a new action cam and the stabilisation on the V50X looks great. But the picture looks a little hot to me. Sure that can be fixed in post, but I still think that it could have been fixed at manufacture stage. So, at this stage I'm still tossing up between the V50 Pro and the V50X with a leaning towards the V50X.
As I will have to be using it with the waterproof housing (I kayak) I'm wondering what the sound quality will be like. Has it improved at all?
Audio inside the waterproof housing will be bad with any action camera.
Bugger.... Not exactly the word that I want to use ;)
Hi man, thanks a lot for such great review!! it cleared a lot of doubts :) definitely I´d choose the V50X, however, i see it has much less width range (the image in the v50 and v50pro seems wider, right?) . im going to use the cam for kitesurfing, so lots of bouncing, my question is if i should put the cam in 4k or 1080 for this - id use 4k because this would mean more quality, but with all the bouncing i dont know if it would work well, any ideas?
also, could you please recommend me a budget camera with great quality 1080 60fps, great width range and great EIS?thanks a lot man!! keep it up!
It does have a narrower field of view but that's how it gets such good stabilization by cropping in the image. I would shoot 4K with this camera for the sheer flexibility in editing. A great budget camera with excellent 1080@60 would be this one as its one of my most favorite cameras I use a lot: amzn.to/2KKubcP
@@WORTHITORNOT thanks a lot man!! really appreciated, keep it up!
So after doing a few test videos, the thing that bothers me most is the very choppy digital look when panning. Unless it’s very slow, it creates a very blurred look (on my computer screen). Will I find the same issues on a GoPro 6 or 7? I’d rather pay more to not have this effect.
Matt Brinton : GoPro put out a firmware update to fix that issue on the Hero 7. Stabilization is very good with Hero 7 but that’s because they added 1 GB of memory to work with the GP1 chip to get that type of stabilization. The V50X at $99 has the best stabilization for that price range.
I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT....hmmm realistically for price etc (must I say it again? YEP) I LOVE IT....sorry for the caps Peeps,,, but what can I say...Worth the price? yep!.... I LOVE IT!!...by the by...great vid...Thanks Dude,
Some days ago I tested the Akaso V50 SE - very disappointing! Stuttering video, files in old mjpeg format in .mov container, old usb connector - I sent it back to amazon. Now using the victure ac900 and up to now I'm happy with it - I bought one for a special price of 67,- Euros; now it's sold for about 90,- Euros. For that price a good choice I think
Good review, thank you.
On my V50 X, when I turn on EIS, the image shifts to the left about 10 or 15 degrees, so that the direction the camera is pointing is not centered in the recorded image or the viewfinder. With EIS on, you have to frame the video with the viewfinder, or it is way off. Turn EIS off, and the image is centered. Anyone else experience this?
Yes its a common issue, this firmware at least fixes that issue. www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/wo17RgqWq8567ZlcTVb8anlTWoz9bgo3GuZpaS3YWpX?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0&mgh=1
@@WORTHITORNOT Good! Thanks for the info and quick response.
Newest camera or firmware seems to have dramatically improved the sound quality. I was expecting terrible sound, but not that bad on V3. Great image quality on 4k 30fps. Don't bother with any other sizes.
Interesting, when I connect to the app it does not show any firmware updates for the V50. Maybe the new sales versions are different. Mine has terrible audio and the video and audio go out of sync after 3-4 minutes or recording in 4K@30, but overall, it's a really nice camera with good 4K video and decent stabilization for the price. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@WORTHITORNOT When I emailed Akaso they were very responsive. They seem reluctant to issue firmware. I would contact them. Here is their reply:
"Normally we don’t suggest our customers update by themselves if there is no problem with the camera.
Is there any problem with the camera?
Some of our customers made the mistake during the update, which resulted in the camera not working.
That’s why the firmware won’t be in public.
Firmware updates generally correct bugs or add more features.
For your camera, it’s the newest version.
I could give you the same version firmware link to update. It’s like reinstalling the system.
Should you need further assistance, please let us know."
For what it is worth. I tried a 128 GB card in my V50 Pro and the camera recognized it. It shows twice the capacity as it does with the 64 GB cards. It records to it, plays back and the videos/images are uploadable from that card. I will try a 128 GB card with my V50X when it arrives tomorrow.
how did it go?
@@jemborg Works fine in the V50X as well.
@@Rstpete1 Well, whattayaknow?. 128GB & h,265... now there's no excuse not to shoot in 4k WDR.
What 128GB card did you use may I ask?
@@jemborg scan disk ultra
@@Rstpete1 Yes, nice. I was looking at those too. Good to know, thanks heaps.
Good review! I am hesitating to choose between the Firefly 8SE and the V50X. I don't necessairy need 4K since I don't have any 4k screens. But would 4K recordings look better on 1080p too?
The Firefly 8SE is a better all around camera, better 4K & 1080 video quality and much better audio.
@@WORTHITORNOT Thank you kindly for your quick reply! The colors on the 8SE look more alive. But the downside is that with 4K there is no EIS. I watched your other comparisons and review too. Is the EIS on the v50x much better of is does the 8SE perform well against the v50x?
Samsei : you said you don’t need 4K , that’s why I suggest the 8SE.
Hi. I purchased a V50X after reading several reviews. The sound playback is terrible so I contacted AKASO and they sent me a link for the up to date firmware. However this made no difference. I purchased the camera on EBay in the UK and Agaso wouldn’t help further. I purchased their external microphone but alas it’s just the same.
Any ideas please?
Thank you.
Unfortunately no, you might want to return it.
Hey there! Bought the camera after watching your reviews. I was wondering if there was an app that I can connect the camera to to stream live on Facebook etc?
Not that I’m aware of.
Is the Samsung Evo Plus microSDXC 64GB U3
Compatible to v50x ?
Your audio out of the V50x is way better than mine even with the external mic ..anything i can do to help with this ? Any advice would be great thanx bud
You can always boost the audio level during editing, but the audio is very poor on this camera
Hey ..!! I bought this product did a sample video today but unfortunately it was dark already but the quality was fine and I am happy.
I have a question for you hope you can help me out here, which memory card should we use and of what size? Is 128 or 256 compatible or does only 64 is compatible can you check with your product?
Thanks in advance..!!
With any 4K action camera, you need a U3 speed card and these are what I use amzn.to/2nJy4Xf , Manufacture said it only supports 64gb but I have had some viewers state that they used a 128 & 256gb with no issues. I have not tested that report.
Thx for the video! I have been very disappointed with the cheap action cameras. The golden rule, you get what you pay for. However, Akaso V50X was so good for its price. Keep your work up bud!
I am also in Texas. yay longhorn here:)
Will you be doing a comparison to the Elite?
No, I really disliked that camera and its frame dropping at 4K@60 and green color on everything so I gave it away to a friend.
Hello! I'm trying to choose my first action camera and have difficulties to decide between these Akaso models, Firefly 8se and Mijia 4K. First thing I want to use the camera is for snorkeling. Other things is for family videos on vacation. Good quality video, audio and stabilization is what I need. Which do you recommend?
I would say the Firefly 8SE
@@WORTHITORNOT thank you! :)
..sir, is the akaso v50x action camera an external microphone compatible?
Not yet
When sj9 strike review will come ?
Once they get some issues with the camera sorted out.
Just bought the v50x! My menu has no options for image stabilization. It goes from resolution, to gyroscope, but the online guide shows “image stabilization” as an option. Does yours show differently? My first video was not at all smooth. Thx, and great review!
Gyroscope is the image stabilization
Ok great! Thanks!
Giena Giena : Yes, apparently some cameras say “gyro” and some say “EIS” but the same thing as gyroscope means stabilization.
which one do you think is better; Akaso V50 Pro SE (Special edition) or Akaso V50X? I already ordered my V50 Pro SE which has 4K60, but X looks so good. Im wondering if you have any knowledge or experience with the SE.
Unfortunately no experience with the V50 Pro SE model.
@@WORTHITORNOT okay
Do you know if the 1080p and 2k video quality will be improved by akaso with a firmware update?
I do not know what they have planned for firmware updates, you should contact Akaso and ask them.
Nice video, for gutter cleaning I need a reliable app for remote controlling the camera from the smartphone , what about the akaso app ? worth it or not ? , if not do you know a better app/ better camera ? thanks (I already have a gopro 7 and am interested in buying another cam)
The Akaso app is "okay" not bad, not fantastic
@@WORTHITORNOT I 'just' need a reliable display on the smartphone of what the camera sees .... The gopro app is far better but I suppose it's not compatible with akaso cam ?
Can you use external mic on the v50x
No, but maybe they’ll add a firmware update to allow it
Great video
Which ones better V50X or yi 4k?
The Yi will give a better image but the v50x has better EIS
Thanks a lot
And i gotta say, thats the quickest reply i ever recieved on youtube.... hahah
hello😃 how many gb(sd card) arr you using???
if you are use 128gb,how many can you take?(when recording by 1080p 60fps)
Only using a 32gb card in most of my action cameras, this camera only holds up to a 64gb sd card
Hello there,
I'm planning to buy a new action camera got confused between the V50 pro and V50 x, both seems to be nice, I'm a budget friendly, moreover focus is on the images rather than videos. Please suggest me which one I should choose? I don't want any fish eye kind of effects in camera.
The V50 Pro has a 20MP sensor and the V50X only a 12MP sensor so I would choose the V50 Pro if you're planning on using it for photos.
Thxs for giving me the answer. i ordered when i read you answer. i menan v50 pro in amazon.
Hi, I recorded myself playing tennis tonight for about 2 hours at 1080P / 60 FPS. The battery lasted about 110 minutes of continuous recording. Almost 2 hours. But when I checked the video files in my computer, they are broken up into many files. Each video file is about 13 minutes long. Is that how it works? It will not record one file about 110 minutes long? Or is there a setting to make each video file longer?
Most all action cameras have a file max of 4gb video file then starts writing a new file.
I see. Got it. Thanks.
V 50 pro look like have a Better image quality. V50x Better stabilization but in 2.7 Is not very good. I have a pro and i use a gimbal. I Will not take the x ( in my pro h265 works very well)
Also my pro has a film protector in screen. I replaced After some use.
Thank you for the review.
I could never get the H.265 to work on my V50 Pro and that was even after getting firmware updates from Akaso, I just gave up, not really a deal breaker for me as H.264 is still the standard compression (for now at least). The EIS in 2.7K was bad on this camera as you mentioned.
@@WORTHITORNOT this Is the firmware on my pro: TJT08302018_V6. YES H264 is perfect. 265 just 33 % less space ( looks like). Regards
How long does the battery last recording a continuous video when it's so hot outside?
About an hour at 4K with image stabilization on
v50x is blurry, with better EIS, compared to the V50 and V50pro, especially evident on the close up on the plant.
Is the Samsung Evo Plus microSDXC 64GB U3
Compatible to v50x ?
what image sensor does it use? also the cpu?
It's using a Hi3559V200 chipset and Sony IMX 458 sensor
Isn't mini USB for the charging port a strange choice nowadays? Or does it have any advantages?
No advantages at all, especially since all major companies have moved to USB-type C.
I would have expected at least micro USB. I've thrown out most of my mini USB cables....
Is it better than sj6 legend?
I'm confused between these two action cams
If you need real 4K with very good EIS, then get the Akaso, if you want very good 1080 and decent EIS with much better audio, then get the SJ6 Legend
This camera 50X is underwater without case? What speeds in 1080p?
No, needs it’s waterproof case to go into water. Records 1080 up to 90 fps
Is the Samsung Evo Plus microSDXC 64GB U3
Compatible to v50x ?
Should be, but personally I only use these in all my cameras: amzn.to/3ytzEet
Hi, have you tried the Wifi connection? When I connect the camera with my phone via Wifi, it has a lot of lag? I watched another review of Akaso V50X and their wifi connection has almost no lag or very little lag? Does yours have very little or a lot of lag?
I have not but all of the other action cameras I’ve tested there is always a lag because it’s over a WiFi signal
Noted that there will be some lag. But mine really lags a lot. I feel that if you call this Wifi connection as a feature, then it shouldn't lag this much. A little bit of lag within reason is fine.
FYI, I've deleted RoamCam app and reinstalled it. Now the lag problem is much better.
What firmware are you on? My V50X is completely missing the EIS option for some reason. My version is V50X-fx-20190619-v1.0
The firmware on mine is : V50X-FX-20190619-V1.0
WORTH IT OR NOT?: Does yours show the EIS setting and Gyro setting? Mine only shows Gyro.
@@JohnZimmerman84: Mine also only shows gyro, but the gyro is the EIS for my cameras firmware version at least. At the beginning of this video when I said I turned EIS off, that was turning gyro off which shows that gyro is the EIS. I wish Akaso was not so confusing with all their different firmware versions as it confuses people, one person argued with me that gyro on my camera was not EIS, even though I explained that on "mine" it was.
@WORTH IT OR NOT?: that’s exactly my concern because if you read the V50X manual it shows gyro and EIS as separate options which can be enabled independently. Very confusing.
@@JohnZimmerman84 : I think it's just different firmwares for this camera. I sent Akaso an email about this but have yet to hear back from them. I just know that gyro turns on/off the EIS on mine and the EIS is really good on this camera especially for the price point.
V50x wide angle is narrow compared to other 2. Is it?
It's very narrow, because of it's EIS it crops in a lot.
im planning to buy akaso v50 pro..when I watched this.. i think of getting v50x... What do you think?
The image quality is better on the V50 Pro at 4K but better EIS on the V50X. The choice is yours as to what will fit your needs
@@WORTHITORNOT im going to use it for cycling.. i think i will go to v50x since im into action
Hi I have a Thieye T5e. Is the Akaso V50 a much better offering and would it be worthwhile upgrade? Also which is the best V50 version.
Gopro is just way over my budget
The image quality and audio is much better on the T5e, but if you're wanting to upgrade, these 2 cameras are on a great sale right now and worth saving some extra money to buy either of these and get what you pay for, which is the best offerings of today. amzn.to/3aWy3mx or amzn.to/2RMi6ri
@@WORTHITORNOT oh...t5e is better?? Very surprised to hear that. I'll continue using it. 😁
@@Styla78 : The EIS (stabilization) is the only thing better on the V50X but at the cost of a major cropping on the image. The T5e is a fantastic camera for it's image and audio
@@WORTHITORNOT Thank you. I will keep the T5e until I can save up more for either a Gopro 8 or DJI.
THE PRO STILL THE KING
The 2.7k eis is very shaky, saw it also in another review in low light and it is the worst I’ve seen. Had a bubble screen on my pro too. I’ll buy this to replace my broken pro(fell) but will never use 2.7k until an update fixes the shake.
Yes, the EIS for some reason was very jerky at 2.7K but it worked well on the other resolutions. I hope they do come out with an update for the audio.
Whats it like in low light?
Like all Action cameras, bad.
Hi, do you know what is the difference between image stabilization and gyroscope? For sure I want image stabilization when recording video. But do I also need to turn on gyroscope?
On the original firmware, it was gyroscope only and that was stabilization, now they have added EIS and gyroscope and I keep both on when videoing. I will do a test to confirm, but I think that gyro is more geared towards taking photos but like I said I will test and confirm and report back.
Got it. Thanks. Another question. Should I turn on WDR when recording?
hktmc300 : you can try video with it on and off and see which YOU prefer as everyone’s taste is different
What do you mean when you say there are bubbles on the screen? That is a protective film!
I took off the initial peel off cover/sticker as it says to do. I understand that its a protective layer for the touchscreen but it has air bubbles under it and cannot be removed. It does not affect the touchscreen performance, but just shows a rush to put together IMO.
It can be removed. It has one with writings that you already removed, and there is a second one transparent that you still have on.
@@paulograve3323 Interesting, I saw a video from Akaso telling people to not remove that last layer of film as it can damage the screen. Humm.
This makes no sense. You can keep it on as protection, ok. But if you want to take it off, in my opinion it should be ok. But its only my opinion! Anyway, great review!
what sd card can i use to make this works? it said my sd card is slow
I use these: amzn.to/2Ma3yhV
Compare this to firefly 8se, which is better, especially on audio quality?
No need to compare, the Firefly 8SE has better image quality and MUCH better audio hands down.
@@WORTHITORNOT thank you
Hey man, I just got mine. and I dont have "Image Stabilization" option after . did you encounter this problem? Hope you will reply. Thanks!
Turn on camera, go to the gear wheel bottom right, tap it, then look at "gyroscope" and make sure that is on, that is your EIS (electronic image stabilization)
@@WORTHITORNOT Oh wow, first of all Thanks for your response. So its the same with the Image stabilization? I am somehow confused, I saw some videos of V50x that showed after "Resolution" there is "EIS" then "Gyroscope". that is also the case in there User Manual. I thought they are different features. Anyhow, Thanks for the reply, More power to you. keep up the videos!
Danell Arquero : on mine it has Resolution then gyroscope. Might be different firmwares.
@@WORTHITORNOT Definitely confusing. My camera shipped without the EIS option in the settings menu. When I contacted Akaso CS they sent me a firmware update to install the EIS which would not work in my camera, wouldn't update. I contacted them again after reading your comments above and they now say that EIS and gyroscope are the same thing. If that's the case, why do some camera ship with both options available in the settings menu? Seems to me that Akaso are too busy launching new products to have time to understand them fully. Great reviews by the way, detailed and very informative.
@@stephencourtney962 . I have the same issue. I contacted Akaso and they send me a firmware update. I updated my unit. and It fixed the issue. I have now the "Image Stabilization" and "Gyroscope" after "Resolution" .It also has "External Microphone" Option. Hope it helps your issue
can you use external mic here???
Not yet but maybe a firmware update will add that
