We finally get around to taking the Akaso V50 Elite outdoors for some testing. Let us know what you think of the Akaso V50 Elite. Is it worth the extra money over the Akaso V50 Pro? 2 Things to look at. You will see a weird EIS problem when shooting in the medium zoom angle. I'm sure that this can be fixed with a firmware update, but as of now definitely an issue. 2nd is that I really don't see much if any difference between the 3 actual zoom angles (wide, medium and narrow). Do you?

finally a good and sympathic reviewer. congrats, i say that quite rarely )

[teannabyerts]

I do not want to shovel my way out of that neighborhood! Really great to see how this camera works! Just got one. Gonna go shoot some slo-mo. Nicely done.

I just bought some for security flights in Panama city, Panama (PTY). I keep you informed how these cameras are working for me. I've had a really bad experience with the Gopro for 2 years so I'm going to go for these.

[KonstantinosOurri]

Very informative! Thanks! I made an offer to buy it after your video. Hopefully the elite suits my needs as I will use it to film small game hunting. I didn't see though the zoom function and how the quality of the video is affected. Thanks again

How about the HDMI Outputs for the ELITE? I’m looking to Multicam with smaller cameras.

[peterharoldjanakjr]

Video seems it little jittery. Maybe the conversion to YouTube. Also saw zero change between normal narrow and wide shot.

[versionmedia]

Curious. why didn't you ever review the V50X ? I was under impression that one was the best. Always wanted to see your feedback on that one.

[howardworf]

I have had one and using it to record my band for a couple of years. The footage has always been as good as I needed and the sound recording has been excellent. It's taken a beating so I bought a new one. The new one is very disappointing - they've updated it and it can no longer tolerate high spls (loud music). What a pity.

[alanstandsalone]

I was wondering if your videos were out of sequence when transferring them to your pc. The videos have numbered but are not in the order I shot them.

[rjbrewer]

I really appreciate the honest review. I am looking to purchase this for my to do a chest mount for soccer play feedback / videos. Would this camera be ok for that. ( my son is a fast runner as well)

[martinzzz]

hi could tell me how to fix my camera akaso v50 worked fine i could not disconnect from wifi. and turn off .now when it is in the logo and it does not progress ...

[teannabyerts]

read all the reviews, and this is the best bang for the buck! Thanks for the review!

[merakmontiel]

What is the brand (model) of the tripod you have? would you recommend it? Excelent review :)

[KenCheng]

without the housing, is it rain proof? I'm not looking to go diving or anything, but I'm over here in Vancouver... so, yeah lots of rain. I would think with the housing the audio would be pretty bad?

[MarkJohnMorris]

Nice review 👌 have sub'd 👍 but where do you live to have that much snow? Haha, mental. And windchill to -18~ 😢 In UK we come to a standstill as soon as the Gov see a snow flake.

[almightyJAKE]

Hey sir, just want to ask does the camera support external microphone?

[FR-kubb]

Nice review! Don't forget about this camera also support the voice control 😊! I have one question: what about audio, is it good enough even without external mic?

[HenPapirman]

Honestly, if Akaso would put the V50x's EIS on their V50 Pro SE, that would be their best action cam

[VinnyVinceViper]

Hello Crusin, I have the V50 Elite and after contacting AKASO for info on an external mic they told me they don't have any, do you know of any mic that fits the Elite?
And honestly, if I had to buy again, I would go for the V50 Pro ( internal mic is better, it has it's own external mic and green on video is not too darn green )
