Great review ! It’s like these budget companies aren’t even trying anymore

[andyc]

Thank you for the review. I'm looking to buy my first cam and this was super helpful.

[MarkLeBlanc]

Very informative video Andre. Reminds me of the GoPro Hero+LCD from years ago with the built-in battery. I had one for a while and never had issues with the battery. I have had the GP 4 silver, the GP 5, and the GP9. Also the Akaso V50X the Osmo Action 1 and now the Osmo Action 3... Out of all of them, the Osmo Action 3 is definitely the one for me. I love this camera.

First time viewer here. I REALLY wish i had seen this review before ordering this yesterday. Even though i paid about $70 for it i feel like i should have researched more. It might be getting sent back to Amazon. Great review btw.

[model_yazz]

By far one of the best product review videos I’ve seen to date. Very informative. Very thorough. Very much appreciative.

[TechMishka]

You nailed it man, awesome review. I wish we could say the same about the camera 🤨
Sadly I was unable to pull the information about the image sensor, likely they have reused the IMX 383. Based on the fact that 4K 60p looks like interpolated, I doubt they've adopted anything better than that.
P.S. I hope the kidney situation gets better! Must be awfully painful :\

[Glenrsi]

Very nice looking and a solid camera. However image stabilization compared to the GP 7 is not good sadly, GP H7 kills it hands down.. Also, i am not a fan of built in battery and memory card. So in ending, not something i would buy. Nice review Andre. 👍

[JusDirtfishin]

Great review. Yeah I don’t think I would spend the money. For someone that has never use a action camera maybe. But I’ve had my GoPro hero 9 for awhile now. Have gotten use to that. But even with the 7 at it’s older technology you can tell to difference. Even though GoPro has its quirks. I would still pick the GoPro.

[goproguy]

Great video, even proves that these budget cameras can't even keep up with the Hero 7 should say it all ! Built in battery and memory as just headaches in the next 6-12 months when they fail.

[photographer-gf]

It appears to have one more advantage over Gopro cameras (from Hero 9 an onwards), Live View to a phone or surf pad when recording. Something that I would appreciate if you mentioned when reviewing action cameras. We have stopped buying Gopro cameras since they suddenly disfeatured Hero 9 and onward models.

4:33 😅 that happened to me with a GoPro at a restaurant. I got lucky because it shot across the table and landing on sometimes hand, rather in their salad! 😯🤣

[ItsWhatIDo]

I doubt Akaso would ever want me doing reviews for them. The last one that I did was for the Brave 7 and I was really disappointed with it due to the sound issues. It seems like they have sorted that out with this offering but it really is over saturated. You can sort that in post I know but for that price I want one that just does the job with little to no messing about. I don't think I will be spending my money on it.

[borisdodig]

Hello friend I am planing to bay akaso V50 pro, what do you think? Thanks

[TimOyieMagsFamAdventure]

Ok, thanks for a great review again and again... No need to wait for this camera here in the Philippines, maybe I'll check for a cheaper camera rather than this... everything is proprietary for this release :(.

Better to check for a GoPro 7

[xtremefight]

I apparently never learn because I keep having hopes for these "budget" brands but when it comes right down to it, they're not as good as a 5 year old cellphone. Currently, I'm looking for a quality 4K action cam to donate to YouTuber "Oleg Walks". This obviously isn't it.

Thanks for reviewing this so we don't waste money on such things.

[Jmodderator]

I am so glad I saw this, I have in my Amazon cart and going to delete it LOL. Thank you for saving me the headache of returning it 😀

[ChickenLipsNchips]

What on earth was akaso thinking?! And then they had the nerves to put it at that price. All around bad camera. Love your videos. Thanks!

[markstevenson]

Please advise: Looking seriously at the 4 Elite (New) to a used Gopro 9 at $290Au ($196US) (local pawn shop). Same price for Worrying that the Gopro 9 will freeze/out of focus as per your review. Regards Mark (Downunder)

[SunriseWaterMedia]

11:07 An older GoPro, wins it, for me. Replaceable battery, better stabilization, nicer colors and dynamic range. 🤘

[SunriseWaterMedia]

6:40 the photos seem decent (just watching on my phone) but action cameras are mostly made for video. If I'm going to take photos, my phone would probably be better.
