This is easily the best review for action cameras

This video made the akaso look really bad, but in my opinion, it's amazing! I use it while on my motorcycle and it hardly shakes and the visual looks good. If you aren't looking for something fancy or expensive, the akaso is perfect

[GEORGE-jfvz]

The GoPro 8 still loses because of the price. I would expect much better performance and features for the cost. The Akaso performs great for 50.00.

[Nick-K]

It's clear GoPro is superior. But for that price, it's actually a solid deal.

As an owner of an Akaso EK700, I can say I am VERY happy.

For the money I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality. The lack of EIS can be dealt with in post. And color correction can help a lot to create a punchier image similar to that of the GoPro. Of course both the used market and high-quality phones exist. I have for some times argued the best action cam can very well for certain situations be a used high-end camera with a cracked screen picked up for cheap since these are far easier to find than used high-end action cameras.

You always get what you paid for Ben. DJI is the sweet spot for performance and value for money.

if you want a helmet cam for security whilst biking then the akaso is perfect

I think a lot of people forget that with the GoPro Hero 8, you can adjust the colors in post production if the camera setting for color is on Flat. That can help alleviate the issue of oversaturated videos/pics. The Hero 8 also lets a lot more scenery into the shot and the image stabilization is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

After watching your review, i just cant figure out if this camera will be enough to film videos on my mountain bike. Dude, just an advice: since youre reviewing an sport camera, it would be more appropriate if you test it while practicing an intense sport like mtb, skating, etc.

Finally someone who does good reviews! Gives us what we need! Thank you!

[BarryfromEssex]

Thank you. I was about to buy a budget camera and I have just bought a Hero 8. Many thanks from the UK.

[sanderb.]

I hope you review the new one, I really want to see how the image stabilization looks on the pro version

[blackryno]

Thanks for making a real video unlike people who don't show footage just talk about features

[MizzFronce]

To get a feel for action camera without splurging and see if you like having that type of camera go with a cheaper option. May not be greatest option but it'll get you started and see if you like it

[Pankaj_gadhwal]

Considering the 50k price .. I must say that camera delivered way more than what it was expected to

[ccChisatou]

Hey! I have the Akaso EK7000
I was actually able to get it to work as a webcam - and use it but business calls when working from home.
It actually preforms pretty well if its a work cam, but a pro streamer WILL need something else.

To get the web cam mode to work, You would have to plug it in and then touch the top Red Circle button to change the camera to PC mode - Now it must be plugged in and you must have a battery and a SD card in the camera for it to work.

I’m gonna buy the akaso. I mean, I’m using it for skiing and hockey but I really do appreciate this because this is how comparisons should be made.

How is it that your walking shots are that smooth. I shoot on the 9 and I have jitters and 4th axis bobbing when walking.
