I think all tech reviewers should include the firmware version when tested as I believe that may account for the differences found across reviews for the product.
Thanks for an awesome comparison. I was very 50/50 on which one to get.. no doubt the V50 X's quality is exceptional, although the mic is a little quieter... I'm getting my hands on it soon. Thanks Chigz x
The v50x microphone is much quieter, but if I turn my volume right up when you switch to the v50x audio from the v50 pro, the audio doesn't sound any worse, its just quieter. To bad you can't somehow make it louder...I just ordered mine, and I'm mostly going to use it for snowboarding and mountain biking, so I'm not going to be doing a whole lot of talking, so I'm not to worried about the audio.
COLOR can be Corrected however Not so with Audio and the effort to get better audio through post editing should prove loads of work. If I get the V50X, what 3rd party external mic are recommended as my purpose is for motovlogging. Thanks!. Great Review!
V50x has better color, but didn't handle shadow detail as well. If I wanted to get one of them, I would have to go with the pro because of the better sound
Pro sounds better but color quality seems a bit lighter. Stabilization is better with the X. Great review on these awesome cameras, Pro would be my pick. Thank you Chigz Wow I was totally wrong😯 yes the X is better.
V50pro looks a more crisp bright picture however I'm here for image stabilization which is alot better on the v50x a shame the pro didn't have the same image stabilization!
It seems to me that "better" image stabilization simply equates to removing more of the outer border of each frame; effectively zooming in further. What I wonder is, when extracted into still images (say 10 consecutively), which camera's look the cleanest?
The x has crap audio, but the color and image stabilization really sell it. My application mounts it on a Polaris RZR. Audio is almost entirely unimportant, whereas image stabilization is tops. This video just further reinforced my decision to get the v50x.
Did you compare the Akaso V50X with the Akaso V50 Pro SE? I scratched the lens of my V50X and need a new actioncam. I think the V50 Pro SE could be better? It does not cut the picture so much with its stabilization.
Before this video I always thought the pro had a better image quality, after this head to head video I think I changed my mind. Have you ever tried the Pro Se ? It’s hard to find much info about that camera. Looking forward to the new line of Akaso being released soon !
Thanks Nikki, yeah I seen that video! I ended buying a the v50x before seeing that video, last week I returned it and bought a v50 pro se, it hasn’t arrived as of yet.
Just got a V50x. Hope the sound is better than on your video. The stabilization is good. So I ordered an external mic. Hope that helps. Other than that it looks good.
@@w8nc82 Yep, it helped a lot. If you’re keeping the camera, the mic is worth it. I think it was about $10. Make sure you get the mic that is specifically for the V50x. Any others won’t work. 👍
You can change the quality of video and color temperature in the settings . Unfortunately there is no mention . This comparison is useless because there is no mention what settings were used.
Sound in the V3 software on my V50X is pretty good. See if you can get Akaso to the send that FW to you. They seem reluctant to do so, fearing people will brick their cameras.
quick question, i just ordered this camera to record my motorcycle rides, however i was wondering how do i upload the videos to my computer as well as do you know of any free video editing programs i can download?
It’s Apples and Oranges really. If you want great EIS and more natural, sharper video, then the V50X is the choice. However, it suffers from poor Audio quality and the pictures were too dark in contrast to the V50Pro IMHO. For pictures, the V50Pro wins for clarity and brightness , even though it’s 20mp vs 12 mp. I’m curious as to why AKASO sacrifices audio quality on a superior video camera that is the V50X, but they gave higher photo resolution to a lesser quality video camera. It’s almost like they want you to collect the set😆😆 AKASO - please make one action camera that is on par with GoPro instead of cutting corners on every other model.
i prefer v50x for the great quality of video n stabilization. but only v50x audio is quite slow then v50 pro. and for me no prob coz i can buy v50x external mic for best quality audio.
Great video! And great chart! Thanks! Two questions: 1) Do these cameras work with other brands' external mics, such as the Rode Video Micro? 2) I suppose they both slice long videos into 30min takes, right? Can you tell us if this slicing is smooth (like in the Go Pros) or if there are frame "leaps" between them? PS: I'm now looking forward to seeing how the AKASO V50 PRO SE will do in your chart and review. ;-)
bigtruck guy not sure. I bought mine in January and sounds is better but don’t expect a high quality. I have also bought and tried the external AKASO micro and with this the quality improves a bit more. If it’s for sport trips and some comments, without wind, it will probably be your camera. I’m really happy with the AKASO V50x
Dustin Hinkle it is not sounds cruddy. The only problem if it’s windy or if you record during a race or sport trip. But honestly it is not the best of its qualities. For better experience use the external mic from AKASO, then will be much better
It’s strange. The quality of the v50x video looks different on almost every TH-cam review I’ve watched.
Ya
Yes, I feel the same.
i think he bought the fake akaso,😂😂
@@SleptOn when you say strange good or bad
1st i was really nervous about which one choose to.. Both are perfect on their work... But v50 x is special one with lots of good features
Another great comparison, thank you. The video and image stabilization on the V50X is really is good. Still hoping you get your hands on V50pro SE.
I think all tech reviewers should include the firmware version when tested as I believe that may account for the differences found across reviews for the product.
Very good point, will do so from now on.
Thanks for an awesome comparison. I was very 50/50 on which one to get.. no doubt the V50 X's quality is exceptional, although the mic is a little quieter... I'm getting my hands on it soon. Thanks Chigz x
My choice be the v50 x.. overall..😁😁😁👍👍👍..but love the sound on the v50 pro..
Good one chigz..
Very tight comparison! 🔥🔥
Great one as usual!! 💚💚

Quality is priority, but if your a vlogger then pro is the choice, I chose v50x because it has a Sony sensor
i really cant decide what to buy v50 pro or v50x..any suggestions?
Excellent comparison! I am currently buying a camera and you definitely helped me decide! Thank you!🤜🤛
How do they perform in low light / night? Also, how do they compare to the V50 Elite? Thanks,
Pro sounds better but color quality seems a bit lighter.
Stabilization is better with the X.
Great review on these awesome cameras, Pro would be my pick.
Thank you Chigz
Wow I was totally wrong😯 yes the X is better.
V50pro looks a more crisp bright picture however I'm here for image stabilization which is alot better on the v50x a shame the pro didn't have the same image stabilization!
On other comparisons that I have seen, the video on the v50x is way better than the pro, it seems like the pro is hit and miss
It seems to me that "better" image stabilization simply equates to removing more of the outer border of each frame; effectively zooming in further. What I wonder is, when extracted into still images (say 10 consecutively), which camera's look the cleanest?
You SOLD ME! thank you
Well that was a fantastic review...thanks a lot for sharing it!
Well thats jacked up! How do you get a V50X with a PRO mic in it?
The x has crap audio, but the color and image stabilization really sell it. My application mounts it on a Polaris RZR. Audio is almost entirely unimportant, whereas image stabilization is tops. This video just further reinforced my decision to get the v50x.
You got me in the chart, well done
Did you compare the Akaso V50X with the Akaso V50 Pro SE? I scratched the lens of my V50X and need a new actioncam. I think the V50 Pro SE could be better? It does not cut the picture so much with its stabilization.
Which would be better for scuba diving(mainly) and snorkelling.for both video recording nd taking underwater photos. V50x vs v50pro?
Before this video I always thought the pro had a better image quality, after this head to head video I think I changed my mind. Have you ever tried the Pro Se ? It’s hard to find much info about that camera. Looking forward to the new line of Akaso being released soon !
Witz there's a head to head with the 50x and 50 pro se on worth it not...I think that's what it's called or at least close.
Thanks Nikki, yeah I seen that video! I ended buying a the v50x before seeing that video, last week I returned it and bought a v50 pro se, it hasn’t arrived as of yet.
@@witz224 let me know how it works out.
Hi mate how was the v50 pro se compared to the akaso?
What settings did you use for V50X? Thanks in advance
Just got a V50x. Hope the sound is better than on your video. The stabilization is good. So I ordered an external mic. Hope that helps. Other than that it looks good.
Did the external mic help the sound??
@@w8nc82 Yep, it helped a lot. If you’re keeping the camera, the mic is worth it. I think it was about $10. Make sure you get the mic that is specifically for the V50x. Any others won’t work. 👍
Awesome. Thanks heaps buddy. That's the answer I was hoping for & the deciding factor for me 👍

It would be so great if Akaso would do something about v50x's audio.
it supports microphone via micro usb, it is one of the only cameras that supports it
Hi Sir, nice video, may I know if the battery of the V50x can be use for V50 pro?
Not compatible.
@@ChigzTech Thank you Sir.
Have you had the audio out of sync problem when recording past 6mins.?
Not experienced this myself.
I’m planning to buy of this, which one is much better?
50x
NL 07 Rider is it comparable to hero 7 black?
Does the v50 pro have a vivid setting or something similar to boost the contrast and colors?
Which firmware version did you use for both cameras in the video?
quick question, i just ordered this camera to record my motorcycle rides, however i was wondering how do i upload the videos to my computer as well as do you know of any free video editing programs i can download?
You can use a cable to do so.
I am looking for a Side Open Protective Skeleton Housing Case to connect my mic for my Akaso v50 pro. Where can i find one? link pls
Can we turnoff screen of v50 pro while recording......To save battery......
It’s Apples and Oranges really. If you want great EIS and more natural, sharper video, then the V50X is the choice.

AKASO - please make one action camera that is on par with GoPro instead of cutting corners on every other model.
I totally agree with you.
i like this akaso V 50X 😎👍👍
Great review...📸📸📸📷📷📷
Thanks Chigz. Can a external mic be added to the v50x to compensate?
Jimboz SimRigs yes
Only v50 pro can plug external mic..v50x is not
Pagadianon TV TravelVlogz I actually have a v50x specific microphone in my possession.
i prefer v50x for the great quality of video n stabilization. but only v50x audio is quite slow then v50 pro. and for me no prob coz i can buy v50x external mic for best quality audio.
Do you get 2 batteries with the v50x?
Good video,Pro has better audio,but both are good.😊😊😊
Tough competition
Great work
Where can I buy this akaso?
Thanks you
it would be great if you compare V50X to V50pro SE. Hope to see this comparison in your channel
Do you know to record without clock and date?
Does AKASO V50 X make good video stabilisation with 4K 60fps?
Wednesday 2-October my V50X comes in, I am curious
So.. how is it mate
Can you turn off the date and time stamp on the v50x?
pro looks sharper and thankfully flatter for post correction
May i know the latest firmware of akaso v50x. Tnx
Great video! And great chart! Thanks!

Awesome bro
AKASO V50 PRO is amazing best camera qaulity
Indonesia hadir nyaimak ka
if the akaso v50x have better viewing angle..it would be better in mostly every aspect except the audio
Viewing angle options are the same.
@@ChigzTech the v50x looks more zoomed in to me
If you update the firmware on the V50X you'll have the 20MP photo option
*How do you update the firmware?*
@@MrForeverBean there's a download link in my last video. Once you download it, you'll see a text file with step by step instructions.
Yeah
Yes the V50 X apart from the microphone quality
The poor microphone performance is a deal breaker for me.
They have a external mic now. Pretty good
i see videos where v50 pro is better than v50x, and here i see v50x is better ........... who to believe?
It's not that much of a difference the v50 color just show a slight brighter
The V50X would be a great action camera if AKASO fixed the terrible audio quality.
It's very close between them!
I ❤ them both
V50 x is overall superior..
Хехе, враньё. Akaso v50x в 4к хорошо снимает, а вот если включить стабилизацию, то качество изображения сильно падает.
V50 pro is much better.
The audio problem of the 50x has been fixed
Im curious if it has or not. Im leaning towards the X but i also dont want cruddy sound quality.
bigtruck guy not sure. I bought mine in January and sounds is better but don’t expect a high quality.
