Check out the Akaso EK7000 on Amazon: geni.us/EK7000 The latest action camera from Akaso is the V50X - Full review: th-cam.com/video/wB2v_ZpF4L4/w-d-xo.html
I received this for being with my company 10 years. Well I really like it. I use it on my motorcycle and another mount I placed on my car dash board. Good stability and records music from my car making the videos more fun. Extra batteries and a charger cost $14 and another accessory pack with chest strap an selfie stick an 10 other things cost $22. Sound with water proof case on is not good. Night lights glare a little on the video more than I like. Well now I want another to mount facing back on my vehicles. Its interesting to see the things I didn't notice while driving.
Thank you for the review, I've just ordered this on Amazon to the UK on offer for £35! It's a present for my 6 year old who wants to start vlogging so will be a perfect starter camera!
I remember a couple of years ago when my daughter wanted an action camera :) About the same age as yours than... she got bored of it after about a week
Just got my camera today. I just made a box Opening Video and gave your link in the video description to this video... Thank you very much for your look at this camera.. I'll be using it, hopefully, when I do my how to sculpt videos...
Very good information. May I make some suggestions? 1. More and more people are using action cams as USB webcams. Can you include this functionality in any review? 2. When you showed 'low light' capture you showed medium to long distance subjects. Could you include close subjects under street lights or torch light. Also indoors with electric lighting. 3. Further to using these types of budget action cameras as webcams, can you demonstrate what the maximum resolution you can get via USB and camera monitor for PC capture, rather than 'in camera' capture. It maybe that people consider buying action cams as security cameras / pet cameras / door entry cameras or even Vlogging / TH-cam ASMR cameras. I have a cheap nasty $5 action cam 720p it is truly awful as a general purpose camera.. it works great as a wireless door entry camera.
Pretty simple and right to the point thank you very much very well done much appreciated cuz I just ordered one what tax and shipping 88 bucks from Best Buy if I can do half as well as you I'm happy 70 years old and blind in one eye kind of a toy for me stay safe and healthy and cheers
Hello I just purchased an EK7000 for use in and around a helicopter and haven't quite figured it out yet. I see holding the front power button turns it on but after some time the screen then goes blank or off. Is the camera still on? I want to set it up out of my reach in the helicopter and activate it remotely with your little red or grey button. I can't reach and turn it on each time. Sometimes it will be mounted outside. Secondly the mode button scrolls though a few types of shooting but once it hits VIDEO 1080P, how do I change that to a lower resolution video? That's all for now. Thanks and regards
Thanks for this wonderful detailed explanation. ! I'm a biker and as you have mentioned,this camera doesn't seem to have image stabilization. Else l would have bought it. I don't think it will record clear stable videos while riding a motorbike on Dirt tracks ,as l could see shaky videos on other channel videos too. Please let me know if this camera is still useful for me to record riding videos, keeping in mind the image stabilization of this camera. Thanks a lot !😊
are you able to turn off the UI to get a clean HDMI signal from this and are you able to keep the device on continuously if connected to power via USB? hoping to find something to use as a webcam with my USB Capture card.
My question is two part: Part 1: So when it comes to dashcam footage (looping footage) the camera (or multiple cams) can't be operated by the remote & have to be turned on individually (1st) before the wifi operates them in unison? Is that correct? Part 2: Can the camera take pictures while recording? Thanks for taking the time to do this review.
Thanks for the review. I just ordered one. I am a little anxious about the sound, but I do have a PowerDeWise microphone that I will have to hook up to my phone and edit and synch up the sound for much clearer sound when I am talking. Otherwise, I am looking forward to getting it! Subbed
It was just on sale for 40 dollars but appearently the tax was about 11 dollars. But now its 60 bucks. I just ordered one, its coming monday. I'll let ya know how i see it from my point of view :D
@@gadbadnathi ahh sorry I got the camera it was great! I was a lil confused on how it worked but I watched some yt vids and got the hang of it I always bring it when I go swimming and it has great camera quality. I totally recommend buying it 😊
Does this action camera record better than the Sony Xperia XA1's camera? I mainly need a camera with a wider FOV for some POV PC building, cooking and bike maintenance videos.
thankyou was just about to buy this- i was shocked to hear it was 12MP- i was fooled by the 4K part! There are ones for the same price claiming to be 20 MP will check those out instead
Question. Will this make everything seem far away and slow. I need a different camera. Because I got a dashcam but it makes it seem liks cars are miles away when they're almost hitting me. And like im going way slower then I am. And my dash cam has 170 view. So will this do that to. Since it also has 170 view
Alex, the review is very nicely done. I love the fact that I can view on my SmartPhone the images that are being created. Question: Does the iSmart DV app work equally well on iOS and Android SmartPhones?
Thanks for the Great Video! I'm Canadian too - near Toronto area - and it's almost 40 below with the wind chill! My Ring Doorbell camera even froze today and wouldn't work until the sun came out! Cheers!
I naively thought so, but it doesn't. There is an accessories pack that includes a head strap, along with a chest strap too though :) www.amazon.co.uk/EDOSE-Essential-Accessories-Bundle-Session/dp/B071173B8Z/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499900598&sr=8-1&keywords=gopro+akaso
how is the quality on this when filming for surfing at the beach. looking to get this over the go pro since the price is cheaper. just checking reviews on how the quality is while filming /pic taking while surfing. thanks for the help
+jones wonbee man... I haven't seen the beach for a while :) however... I would look at something nicer like the SJCAM SJ6 Legend. You can find it's review on my channel
Great video. Very helpful....good production and excellent (and candid) review from author. Thank you! (only question I had was how to change the battery in the remote control.....but will go find that in an on line manual)
I have seen this for sale on amazon. I have a garmin stem mount with a go pro adapter mounting on the underside of the mount. Does the action camera need to be in its case to be mounted on this mount. Of does the camera need to be upright. Also can this be charged while recording and can it be charged with the camera in its case. I want to use it as a safety camera on my rides and I do quite long rides hence the question about charging whilst recording. Thank you
Redskull, Thank you for putting this review together. Several things were done very well, You effectively demonstrated the various imaging quality and capability which is important. I thought the subjects you chose to record were very good. There were four very important things you missed: Price/value point, file/software compatibility, product comparisons, and best/worst application cases. For application cases, is this device for beginner, intermediate, advanced or professional? Critiquing the sound, light and picture quality should be based on the total cost for the camera, NOT studio quality professional levels. THANK YOU for putting this video together. Sorry to hear you are stuck in Canada.
Thanks for the review! Quick question, I've read reviews where it says there is a lot of the "fishbowl" effect with this camera. I didn't notice it from your videos. Are you seeing this "fishbowl" effect at all?
question please, i have bought one but everytime i take out the battery the date resets to 1/2/2017 ? also the file seem to save in a random order, is this normal or do i have a defective unit ?
Thank you for clarifying the limitations of this camera. I have one and hve been using it for sailing videos but have hit my limits with it. Need something with EIS at this point. Tried the camera today in a new config mounted on a Holhem iSteady4 on my mountain bike.... still too much vibration and tons of unusable footage - but the gimbal worked and kept the horizon. Looking at the Brave8...
@@RedskullPro I like the idea that it is cheap and in the event it gets vibrated off of the boat and goes into the sea I won't have lost too much $. Been balancing that desire with the EIS need.... I may end up buying the GoPro9 or10 or the Akaso8 in the next week.
Police are using worse cameras than this on their body cams... resolution looks decent but the image stabilization seems choppy. Awesome review thank you buddy.

+COD GamerZ it's all grey! But it's finally spring! Better looking footage now!

Amazing video with every aspect covered. Thank you. Best video I've come across on this product
Thanks for checking out the video. Been quite some time since i filmed that video
Thanks for the help! My birthday is February 14th, and my mom already wrapped the camera, and your information was great! :)
+Domenica Corral nice, on valentine's day! An advanced Happy Birthday! Thanks for watching!
anybody else noticed this brand is actually the opposite of the dvd player brand osaka from back in the days , i believe its the same company
this is why I read random comments on the internet. You never know what you're gonna get 😂
Or just inspired by Osaka city. But is Chinese product not Japanese.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you very much ❤️🙏
Thanks for watching!
This video is perfect! Exactly what I needed!
This would be good for motorcycle riders to use for insurance purposes.
+Jared Shelton yes it would ve useful in case of an accident
Or moto vlogs🤷♂️

Thanks for the explanation of this little camera. Oh, and for helping me to remember why I moved out of Minnesota to Arizona, grin.
Are there any mounting options on the frame or we need to use waterproof housing for mounting this camera?
“Its winter in Canada and the video may look kinda depressing” haha. Great review!
yeah...the long dreaded winter
Do you have to purchase a monopod separately? I really only need a short one, or one that is short but can extend.
Very nice Review, I can almost understand everything about this camera. thanks
thanks for watching
Very good review Redskull. Thank you. All your arguments and points of view make 100% sense if thinking to buy the product.

Don't get this camera. It's been many years since it was released. You are better off getting a gopro 7 or Gopro 8 for good stabilization
Thanks for the review... helped me make a decision on a gift for my son. Well done!
Very good review. Not a terrible hero knockoff camera. I suggest little less hand movement and not so rapid.
are you able to turn off the UI to get a clean HDMI signal from this and are you able to keep the device on continuously if connected to power via USB? hoping to find something to use as a webcam with my USB Capture card.
Why dont action camersa have tripod mounts built into their bottom sides anymore ? I cant find one that has a tripod mount hole.
LOVE IT!!! GOT THIS AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT AND IT IS PERFECT!!!
I got it for Christmas last year
Nice review, can the camera connect to the phone outside or only inside when both are connected to the wifi at home?
