Testing Akaso Action Camera With Wireless Mic - Bonus Test Included!

In this video, I run the Akaso Brave 4 through a test of different microphones using different adapters. The big limitation with this Akaso brand is being limited to only their brand of an external microphone and not having the ability to go wireless. Let's check it out!

You have to go to: Settings / Camera Icon / Microphone / External

sounds like they aren't using the mics at all. Sounds like it's just using the camera's front facing mic.

I think the problem is this: The Type C connector (I’m writing for Acaso Brave 7) in the camera itself is Type C format only in size and dimensions. And the wiring of the wires is actually made for wiring the wires going to the Akaso brand microphone. If you resolder the wires from an external microphone of another brand in the same way as was done in the wire from the Akaso microphone, then everything will work. Or you can make an adapter with cross wires so as not to solder the original wires. Because it is now very inconvenient to manually resolder small parts - everything is very small and thin.

awesome video which I was really waiting for. I just got Akaso Brave 7 LE which only has micro usb and mini hdmi ports and no USB C port. This is very informative and crisp video.

You shouldn't use the stairs. It funnels sound. A larger room at 10' and 20' intervals.

This goes out the window when you jave ot in a water proof case right?

my brave 7 LE does NOT take type C. It's still micro usb

did you make sure to change the microphone output to be external? Just asking because when you demonstrated the manufacturers microphone and the shotgun after it kind of sounded the same, and it may have been because it was recorded through the cameras microphone if that’s the case. I have this camera and I’m trying to get me a microphone set up that can make it wireless Bluetooth but it seems that won’t be possible.

This might be a stupid question, but did you go into the camera settings and select “external mic” instead of “built in”?

I have a v50x and you have to do that to switch off the internal mic and switch on the external mic.

I’ve been searching for a wireless mic for Akaso.

ok, so I just figured out something, if you buy a wireless microphone for the i phone, and then you buy an iPhone to micro usb adapter, then it will make a wireless connection to you AKASO!
