Il video di qualit, tra i modelli di punta Akaso quello con la stabilizzazione migliore che molto importante per un video capibile. Come tutte le action CAM l’ audio da buttare e per nostra fortuna si pu attaccare un microfono o lavalier esterno.
L’ impermeabilit non l’ho provata e mai la prover perch non faccio sub.
La app per il controllo remoto non molto ben fatta e tende a incepparsi e dare problemi col WiFi ma non importa dato che mentre si fa sport il cellulare rimane in disparte e la app non ha funzioni utili e/o essenziali.
Si possono comunque girare video di alta qualit, basta esserne capaci.
Lo mejor la estabilizacin.
La calidad de imagen en 4K es bastante buena pero 30 frames es justito. 2k a 60 frames es una buena relacin de frames pero pierde nitidez.
Si no te quieres ir a precios de goppro esta bien, pero me ha decepcionado la nitidez de la imagen por debajo de 4k
Ho provato l’ActionCam sulla mia citybike in giro per Torino, stabilizzazione OK. il 4k 30fps non mi ha entusiasmato.
Preferisco 1080 60fps. Dentro la custodia il microfono un po’ sacrificato
Ottimo rapporto qualit/prezzo
Getting video or pics off it and onto a PC which should be easy & basic, is a pain.
A decent camera, seems to work well & picture quality is good. The only issue is getting the content off the camera & onto another device. The recommended app to do this (Roadcam?) Is rubbish & didn’t work. Tried connecting the camera straight to a PC via USB cable but couldn’t seem to get to the files to get them off the camera. Don’t really want to keep taking the sd card in & out to get stuff off it so need to look further into this. Apart from that it’s a good camera with plenty of mounting accessories. Would have got 5 stars if it had come with a carry case, had to buy one separately.

Great Alternative
Looked for an alternative to the GoPro. After looking at positive feedback I went for the AKASO. So far brilliant considering price. Good results on 1080p as you get a better frame rate.

Me ha sorprendido gratamente la calidad de la cmara y el estabilizador, por el precio que tiene no se puede pedir ms, va perfecta!
10/10 would highly recommend
Awesome piece of kit, is just as good as the go pro 8 if not better!
En 4K graba muy bien, en el resto de resoluciones la calidad es baja. El estabilizador es bueno, pero me esperaba ms de l. A pesar de todo, la recomiendo 100×100, dado su relacin calidad precio.

J’ai command cette V50x aprs avoir vcu une norme dception chez Crosstour et leurs produits scandaleux la limite du pnal..
Que dire, elle est magistrale en tout points ! J’ai 3 V50X et j’en suis plus que ravi !
J’ai ralis un test en profondeur, et le moins qu’on puisse dire, c’est qu’elle n’a pas rougir de ses grandes soeurs, pourtant plus chres!

Great affordable cam for Skiing
The camera is well worth the money. Can give pretty decent shots on a good day. Remote control is great, Image stabilization works well. The Roadcam app works flawlessly with the camera wifi. Tons of accessories. The controls and touch interface are very easy to use.
Only one thing to complain if I have to is the mic. Once the camera is inside the case, the mic is pretty much dead. May be I should have taken an external mic. Case is pretty tough though.

Sehr gute Kamera!
Die Bildqualitt knnte zwar etwas besser sein, aber fr den Preis ist die Kamera unschlagbar. Viel Zubehr und der Bildstabilisator ist erste Sahne. Das Men ist auch sehr gut und Anleitung per Download in deutsch.
Akkulaufzeit wie angegeben und macht beim MTB fahren echt Spass die Trails nochmal anzuschauen!
Ich kann die V50x absolut empfehlen.
Good value
Watch the reviews on YouTube.
Its not a gopro but it a decent substitute for the price
Had to return - faulty microphone.
Arrived well packaged and presented. I had researched very carefully before deciding on this camera. Image quality good and stabilisation excellent. However the sound was appalling. I assume it was a faulty internal microphone. Nothing but distorted, low volume sound. Have returned and requested a refund. A real pity as in all other respects this appeared a really good camera for the price.
I still need a camera of this sort for a trip to the USA but am wary of ordering another V50X.

Fabulosa. Camara 4K nativos. Los videos son maravillosos. He probado varias marcas y esta me ha impresionado. Ojo, los videos 4K necesitan una maquina potente para poder editarlos.
Great quality and user friendly
Bought for my kayak and works great. Comes with alot of accessories and easy to use. Wifi to my phone makes checking camera view so easy.
Excellent action camera
This arrived on time. The camera is exactly what I wanted and expected. Great range of accessories came with it. All review’s saying it compares to gopro are accurate. Supplier was contacted about a small query and their customer care team was fantastic.
Buena camara, todo perfecto mejor producto calidad precio el microfono, no s3 escucha en la capa de agua

Good quality for low budge
First of all the price for the quality is more than great.
I was hesitating to purchase this product at first but it turn out that the quality both of the camera and the video recording are far better than my expectations.
Is easy to use and understand how it works. It can be use with the buttons or the touch screen, which is in a decent condition for such cheap camera.
The charger cable is alright but not really long and the extra accessories in the box are good so far.
The waterproof camera case is actually waterproof and quite easy to use.
The microphone is not that great but I can’t really have high expectations for that.
*My only comment is that the remote control is not very reliable. It is working but when I am using the recording mode, I can’t always take pictures at the same time when I press the camera button.
Overall, I totally recommend this camera for low budget amateurs.

Better than cameras double the price
This is amazing value for money. I’ve owned GoPros and a few cheaper models, and this is by far the best action cam I’ve used. Image stability is second to none, fantastic image quality too.
I did comprehensive research to find the best camera for my budget, I’m definitely not disappointed with this purchase.

Quality choice
Really like the camera.
The image stabiliser is great.
It has a nice rubbery finish which feels nice in the hand.
Picture quality is good.
Touch scream is much nicer than using buttons.
The menus are easy to navigate.
Akaso does really decent cameras for the price.
I can’t see point buying GoPro unless you are an adventure junky. At the same time don’t go for the cheapest camera as even if says it has 4K etc. in the end it will be just a waste of money.
Extremely satisfied

Ich habe mich fr diese Action-Cam entschieden, nachdem ich mir stundenlang Testberichte auf Youtube angeschaut hatte. Ich kannn nur sagen, es hat sich gelohnt, denn ich wurde nicht enttuscht.
Das Teil kam an und die Box sah schon mal super aus. Der Karton ist wirklich bis an den Rand voll mit Zusatzteilen, inklusive einer extra Schutzklappe, falls die eine mal nicht mehr so Wasserdicht sein sollte. Gut, ich geh damit nicht tauchen, aber bei Regen bin ich so auch sicher unterwegs. Zwei Akkus sind auch dabei und eine kleine Ladestation, die beide Akkus fast und per USB-Kabel (auch dabei) berall angeschlossen werden kann. Das gleiche Kabel, was ein Standart Micro USB ist, kann auch zum auslesen am PC genutzt werden. Geht spielend einfach. Und selbst so knnte man den Akku auch direkt in der Kamera laden, falls man das denn will.
Die V50x ist preislich etwas gnstiger, hat aber die beste Bildstabilisierung in der V50 Reihe und das merkt man sofort, wenn man diese aktiviert. Die Aufnahmen sind Butterweich. Bei Dunkelheit oder wenig Licht taugt die Kamera nicht so viel. Da kommt es schnell zu Bildrauschen. Am Tag aber luft sie super und macht wirklich tolle Aufnahmen und das Ruckelfrei. Die Software luft in vier Sprachen (auch Deutsch). Das Men ist wirklich selbsterklrend und man findet alles schnell und einfach. Der Brennweitenwinkel kann in vier Stufen eingestellt werden (170,140,110 und 70). Das ist bei diesem Preis schon der Hammer. Zum Gyroscope, hat die Kammera eine Bildverzerrungskorrektur. Auch Anti-Schtteln gibt es als Funktion. Damit werden die Bilder noch weicher. Weiabgleich fr Kunstlicht, Neonlicht, Sonne und Bewlkt, Belichtungswert, ISO 100,200,400 und 800. Wahnsinn! Aufnahmen knnen in H264 und H265 (das neuere und bessere Format) gemacht werden. Zeitraffer, Zeitlupe, Loop, Metering-Modus und Farbeffekte (Natur, Schwarz-Wei, Sephia) sind ebenfalls in der Software enthalten. Das alles fr diesen Preis. Da kann wirklich niemand meckern.
Doch nun noch das Beste zum schluss. Fr diese Kamera gibt es zustzlich ein externes Micro, welches per Micro-USB einfach an die Kamera angeschlossen werden kann. Das interne Mikro ist nicht unbedingt schlecht, aber es fehlen halt die Tiefen, wie bei fast allen internen Mikros. Mit dem externen Mikro jedoch ist der Unterschied wirklich enorm. Die Soundqualitt ist Mega. Die Stimmen kommen klar und deutlich und wirken profesionell aufgenommen. Dieses kleine Ansteckmikro holt aus euren Aufnahmen wirklich noch einmal mehr raus in Sachen Tonqualitt. Soll heien… holt euch das V50 X Externes Mikro auf jeden Fall dazu. Es sind zwar noch einmal 20 EUR, aber es lohnt sich wirklich. Gerade fr die Leute, die ihre Videos doch etwas professioneller haben wollen. Der Ton macht da die Musik 😉
Das war brigens fr mich auch ein zustzliches Anliegen, mich fr diese Action-Cam zu entscheiden. Einzig auf den NAchtmodus msst ihr in dieser Version verzichten, bekommt dafr eine Kamera, die unter guten Lichtbedingungen wirklich tolle Aufnahmen macht. Und wie alle Filmer wissen… Ausleuchtung sollte den Lichtverhltnissen eben immer Angepasst sein. ISO ist eben doch nicht alles. Wer mehr bei schlechtem Licht will, der braucht eben auch einen greren Bildsensor und eine bessere Optik und zahlt dafr auch 4 – 8 Mal so viel. Das ist halt Physik 🙂
PS: W-LAN funktioniert auch. Es gibt extra eine App dafr, worber Steuerung mglich ist und man eine Live-Ansicht bekommt. Zustzlich hat man noch eine kleine Fernbedienung (liegt bei), mit der man Aufnahme fr Video starten kann oder auch Fotos machen kann. Luft auch ber Funk 😉
brigens… Diese Kamera liegt auf Platz 3 (99 EUR), Platz 2 (DJI OSMO ACTION 279 EUR), Platz 1 (GoPro Hero 8 379 EUR) …. Es gibt auch viele Action Cams, die teurer, aber deutlich schlechter sind als die V50x.
I bought this to replace a non-stabilised and cheaper action cam, with a failing battery, mainly to sling under a drone. I did some research before hand of the DJI and GoPro offerings but all the reviews suggested that this was almost as good as some very expensive alternatives. I have not been disappointed. I have not provided photos nor videos as there are so many Youtube reviews for you to check out including some good comparison reviews.
Good Points.
Good 4K video/photo quality. Play back quality, direct to a quality monitor, is excellent, through micro HDMI cable (not included)
Long battery life
Excellent stabilisation, EIS and gyro
Works well with Android App
Comprehensive extras pack
Comes with two batteries and a neat twin battery charger
Simple but very comprehensive controls through touch screen at rear. I have not played with the ISO, colour averaging and many other controls as yet as the auto settings work well for me.
Minor points
No attachment to allow for underslinging. All attachments assume that this will be top mounted. I had a suitable attachment from another action cam so was able to overcome this problem. This will probably trouble very few people.
No SD card included, but this is made clear in the adve

La ActionCam perfetta. Ha tutto quel che serve per dire…. Meglio della Go… o cmq siamo l. NON sto scherzando e lo scrivo in tutta sincerit che quasta Cam mi ha veramente sorpreso . Unico difetto e che di notte i video sono orribili…ma tanto di notte faccio altro ahahahah .

Good value for the money.
Image quality is nothing spectacular, but does the job. EIS is actually pretty good for such a cheap action cam, very pleasant suprise there.
Nice assortment of accessories, waterproof housing is ok, touch display on the device seems to be pretty responsive and the push buttons for navigation is a plus compared to only touch screen operated action cams.

Top Camera, ich bin begeistert von dieser Kamera. Super Bildstabilisator mit flssigen 4k
Aufnahmen.

So easy to use
I have used this for a few weeks now. It is very user friendly and the touch screen is great. The picture quality is superb. The controls are simple. There are loads of attachments which I will probably never use and I certainly will not be going underwater with it (a least voluntarily!) . The watch bracelet remote on/off is a terrifically useful gadget. All in all you simply will not go wrong with this little gem.
Top Bildstabilisierung. Schlgt sogar die GoPro 7 black. 2.Akku und Ladestation ist auch dabei. Fernbedienung zb zum Skifahren zweckmig.
Unbedingte die neue Firmware aufspielen. Dazu den Akaso Support anmailen. Dank 20 Promo Gutschein fr 79.99 erhalten.

Shoots in 4K, great image stabilisation and significanly cheaper that the GoPro. Bought this for an upcoming holiday to Iceland and I can’t wait to properly try it then. Can’t recommend enough!

Ich fange gerade mit der Kamera an zu arbeiten, bisher macht Sie keine Probleme und berzeugt durch ihr erstklassiges Preis-Leistungsverhltnis! Die elektronische Bildstabilisierung berzeugt durchweg! Die Bildqualitt ist klasse, auch wenn sie fr meinen Geschmack noch etwas schrfer sein knnte, aber sie ist zumindest nicht unnatrlich berschrft, also auch kein Problem! Wenn das Weihnachtsgeld kommt, dann wird es wohl noch ein 2. Exemplar geben :o)

I bought this action camera to replace a Sony action camera and the performance of this Akaso V50X exceeds it in every way. I have worked in the imaging sector for 35 years, so excellent image quality, effective image stabilisation and good low light performance are of paramount importance to me, especially when capturing video footage recorded at speed from a bicycle over rough road surfaces.
I only use an action camera for recording my cycle journeys and I wanted to leave this review for other cycle enthusiasts out there who are thinking of purchasing the camera for the same purposes, whilst also providing some imaging experience based on the camera for other potential buyers. I have updated the firmware in the camera from a link kindly provided by Akaso who responded to my email immediately, so I now have both the ‘EIS and Giro’ modes available, in addition to the external microphone option.
I recently did a 63 mile, 4 hour bike ride with the camera and it performed flawlessly. I recorded my ride in 1080P 30 fps mode with Giro and EIS turned on and the resulting video footage was outstanding. This resolution and frame rate is perfect for the purposes I use it, and I was amazed to get 1 hour and 55 minutes recording time from each battery. The brightness, contrast, colour, hue and saturation were naturally true to the environment and the image stabilisation was unbelievable. I have the camera mounted to my bike handlebars, which is always a problematic area when trying to capture stable video. With this footage there was no ‘Jello’ effect whatsoever, irrespective of the terrain. I have attached a couple of images to show the mount I made for the camera from a couple of cheap handlebar brackets and a bit of aluminium sprayed up to match the bike, whilst using the tripod mount that came with the kit. I have not uploaded any sample footage as I cannot see the point as it will inevitably be compressed in some way. Furthermore, every viewing monitor is different.
I am particularly delighted how the ISO (light sensitivity of the CCD) can be altered to suit my rides in low light conditions. Furthermore, the resolution of the CCD (12 Megapixels) is just right to support 4K video whilst retaining only the necessary required pixels to suit low light recording. Because these pixels are larger than the pixels on a camera with a higher resolution, they are naturally better at resolving light as the surface area is larger. All too often, manufacturers sell their products boasting a high ‘Megapixel’ resolution, which is great in ideal shooting conditions with an abundance of available light, but in low light conditions cannot be achieved without additional lighting. This camera maintains a perfect balance in providing only the necessary pixels required for 4K footage, whilst maintaining good low light performance. In testing, this theory worked well and the camera produced very acceptable results in these conditions with EIS and Giro turned off. It is also worth mentioning that I commute in total darkness on country roads with only two high powered bike lights for illumination.
I have not tested footage recorded in every mode, but 4K footage is astonishing when played back on my Samsung 4K TV. I have also not tested the camera function, as I will use a camera if I need to take photographs.
The case works really well with the camera and the footage suffered no lens flare when riding into the sun or any loss of image quality. I was also able to operate all functions from the external buttons. Although I recorded in the 170 degree angle option, the distortion was kept to a minimum, and certainly better than my previous Sony camera. In this mode, depth of field is fantastic with virtually no part of the image being out of focus.
There is a massive array of photo and video recording options available on the camera and it comes supplied with loads of accessories and mounts. I also like how the shooting modes can be altered to suit the environment being recorded, in addition to the usual auto mode. The audio quality is perfectly acceptable when out of the case, but it suffers when inside it. This is common sense to me as the microphones are covered up when inside the case?
I can highly recommend this camera for anyone who needs to capture video in sporting type environments as the image stabilisation has to be seen to be believed. Paired with fantastic image quality and good low light performance, I cannot see why anyone would need to pay any more. As an added bonus, I have also registered my product with Akaso online, who are currently offering an additional 1 year warranty!
Well done Akaso.. what a brilliant little action camera this is!
Good camera for the price
Controls are easy to use and fairly intuitive. Quality is great for the price paid. Used for snorkelling and seemed to work well under water.

I also like how the shooting modes can be altered to suit the environment being recorded, in addition to the usual auto mode. The audio quality is perfectly acceptable when out of the case, but it suffers when inside it. This is common sense to me as the microphones are covered up when inside the case?
I can highly recommend this camera for anyone who needs to capture video in sporting type environments as the image stabilisation has to be seen to be believed. Paired with fantastic image quality and good low light performance, I cannot see why anyone would need to pay any more. As an added bonus, I have also registered my product with Akaso online, who are currently offering an additional 1 year warranty!
Well done Akaso.. what a brilliant little action camera this is!
Camera
This camera was bought as a gift so cannot answer the quality questions
I am not going to try and compare the AKASO V50 X Action Camera to the high-end action cams such as the Go-Pro and the DJI Osmo, however, I did a lot of research (written and Youtube reviews)on action cameras in the 100 to 200 price range before purchasing the V50x. My first impression, the camera and accessories are superbly packaged and the rounded edges and rubberised feel of the camera are excellent. Out of the box, I found the menu very easy to navigate. At the time I purchased this camera (20/09/2019) the camera was running on an old firmware which included Gyroscope, but not Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS), this was easily remedied by downloading the new firmware via this link https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/sha and installing it which added EIS, Gyroscope, and an external mic feature. I have already been out and tested the EIS and I must say the EIS is brilliant on this model which will make for much smoother footage when out on my kayak. I have used various action cameras over the past few years and in its price range, this one certainly beats some of my dearer models.

Ok, alors trs bonne camra, trs content de mon achat, par contre je n’avais pas la stabilisation lectronique, j’ai du faire une mise jour du firmware, j’ai fait un tuto sur youtube
L’image est belle, par contre il y a un film de protection sur l’cran, et celui-ci comporte des bulles d’air, Akaso devrait faire attention ces dtails, c’est important et agaant. Je prfre laisser cette protection, j’imagine qu’elle doit pouvoir d’enlever…
Pour info, j’ai mis une 128go sandisk extrem, a fonctionne trs bien sur ma V50X,
Pour le prix, je ne sais pas s’il y a mieux…
bon film tous 🙂

The best Akaso camera
Akaso V50X is definitely the best Akaso camera that I’ve tried so far. The video quality for 4K is just so wonderful. Not to mention that electronic image stabilization works extremely well.
Decent ... Gotta update firmware ... Roadcam is a questionable app
Great camera clear and I got it for 60 so it was a great deal
Sad thing to say you gotta download a firmware to get the image stabilization on there … So thoughts on that is they seemed to have rush that release of the product but it works well … Main issue is linking it to the roadcam app … The app doesn’t seem to connect so my thoughts are 50/50 I only use it to record my cycles/commutes

Shipped with wrong firmware no image stabilisation, had to download from the interne
Received camera today, really neat.
When I turned on no Image stabilisation in the video menu.
I looked online and found out the firmware was not up to date.
Eventually found a how to on you tube, a bit of a pain as had to download new firmware onto the sad card.
Camera should have shipped with correct firmware.
Apart from that all looks good.
I will carry on learning how to use

great camera up to now
well i have just got this camera and i am very pleased with it.I tried it on my bike 2k@60fps and it just stopped may be i did something wrong, standing in my bedroom i managed to get video 4.7k@30fps ok. The still shots are great and i managed to get burst working while riding my bike. What i would like to know is what is a NORM0001 .LRV file as every video i take has this by the side of it,its no bother just curious. I do own a GOPRO hero 7 black as well and up to now in daylight i am getting just as good pick and video.I did do a test for video stabilization using 4 k @ 30 fps i shook the camera like a bottle of water and the video came out great.I took the camera out on my bike but was a little bit worried as it was not secure so will use the waterproof holder in future, the remote does work with waterproof holder on. Good camera for 99.
Four days later i took the camera out on the bike using the handlebar fitting well what a noise from the bike tires and the road, had another go with the camera on my helmet and it was ok . I am using still photo and video 4k@30fps and both were very good, i have not tried the other resolutions yet but i know you have to learn to use the camera iot takes time .

Good for the money
Good camera with plenty of useful accessories. 2 batteries with dual charger and the remote conrol are great. Video quality is good for the money.
Cette camra est vraiment exceptionnelle !
Pour voir ma video unboxing tapez sur YouTube : yttrium 39 akaso v50x unboxing
Elle a un grand angle de 170 degrs. On peut quasiment tout voir devant et sur les cts. Pour vous donner un ordre d’ide 180 degrs c’est un demi-cercle donc si vous en collez 2 vous avez une vision complte.
Cette camra est compatible wifi et se dote d’une application pour la contrler depuis son tlphone.
Parmi les nombreux modes, le mode Dash Cam est intressant puisque vous allez pouvoir l’utiliser dans la voiture (pour viter tout problme d’assurance lors d’un accident) et la dcrocher pour aller filmer vos voyages comme de la plonge sous marine et pouvoir vous amuser lorsque vous faites du sport.
Elle est livre avec bon nombre d’accessoires et d’attaches permettant d’viter toute dconvenue
De plus la coque semble solide et la camra est petite et lgre.
12 Mpx peuvent sembler peu mais n’oubliez pas que la plupart des tlphones haut de gamme ont 12 mga pixels et que cela suffit largement.
Les vidos sont en 4K mais il y a beaucoup de choix de rsolution, vous n’tes pas bloqu (2,7K )
En somme une camera qui vaut la peine !

Outstanding video quality given the price point.
This camera is really good, and the already included accessories add a great value, making it possible to use the camera on several scenarios out of the box, e.g. fixing it to a bike.
The price point is excellent, it is hard to believe the quality level this camera achieves given the cost.
The inclusion of two batteries is also appreciated, more batteries always come in handy.
That said, I still find the small touchscreen a little hard to use… but well, I guess that is to be expected given the size of any action camera.
A great purchase altogether.
Wow what a find!
Wow what a little gem!
We were looking for a cheaper action cam for our holiday and after a lot of research and review reading we opted for the v50x. I can’t stop smiling it’s amazing!!
So easy to set up and use standalone or with the roadcam app and the quality of the videos and photos are even better than expected even when viewed on a large screen monitor.
This really is going to be an excellent addition to future holidays and won’t be without the little gem now.
Amazes me to be honest why people are spending 300+ on a GoPro!!

Consulte muchas marcas, pero me fui por Akaso. Estuve casi a ir por la V50 Pro, pero la estabilidad de la X me conquisto. Como una GoPro… Pero mas barata y llena de accesorios. Gracias

Great quality at a bargain price
I purchased this for my son following a holiday where we used a different action camera. What we wanted over the camera we had used was better quality video and stills plus easier camera functionality. Pleased to say that is exactly what we got with the AKASO V50 X Action Camera. Its really easy to use straight out of the box and the instructions via the QR Code in the quick reference guide are really clear. He has quickly got to grips with all of the picture options and in particular the image stabilisation will come in handy for skiing next year. The waterproof case is reassuringly simple and looks to be great quality. The accessories supplied are great and give you great flexibility for whatever sport or activity you are using the camera in. The remote control is an added bonus – instantly paired with the camera and is really simple to use. Over all we are both really happy with the quality, functionality and simplicity of this camera.

Pros: No hay nadie que te ofrezca mas por el mismo o menos dinero, la calidad de imagen es brutal, el EIS funciona muchsimo mejor en este modelo “V50X” que en el PRO o Elite , teniendo menos coste que estos 2s ltimos.
Incluye 2s bateras y un montn de accesorios que ninguna otra marca te ofrece por este precio. Materiales de construccin que al tacto dan la sensacin de ser de buena calidad, un diseo a mi gusto exquisito y un tamao y peso que rozan lo imposible para la calidad que tiene, sencillamente BRUTAL lo que sacan xD.
Contras: El principal pero que veo con este producto, es el software para el mvil que te indican que utilices, la valoracin en GooglePlay no es muy buena y dicha APP a la hora de instalarla pide ciertos permisos de privacidad que no son necesarios para su uso… Pero al ser Software tiene solucin y confiemos en que la AKASO este trabajando en ello para mejorar ese apartado.
En resumen: Si por 100 euros quieres una cmara de accin que grabe muy decentemente y que a la hora de grabar no pegue saltos la imagen como si estuvieses en unas camas elsticas, esta es tu cmara sin ninguna duda.
Si la devuelves es por algn defecto, no porque no ests satisfecho con el resultado teniendo en cuenta lo que pagas!
Espero que os haya ayudado ^^, Un saludo desde los Madriles/Spai
I have to say that at first I was going to purchase an even cheaper action camera however the reviews of that camera all indicated poor picture quality. Then I stumbled across a number of videos of the akaso and I was getting more and more intrigued. I could not relate the good reviews with the price since most matched it to a gopro but the price is far cheaper. I took the leap and so far I can say that I am really happy with it. Serious packaging, a ton of mounting accessories, two batteries and good quality all around. The screen is very responsive , starts with action straight away with no waste of time. I read reviews where bubbles in the screen where mentioned but perhaps ppl did not realise that it has a protective peel and yet another protective screen which does have some air on the side which I left since it is does not bother view especially since it is there to protect the real screen which is absolutely bubble free. I was not able to find the Image Stabilization setting as indicated in the menu but Their support was prompt enough to indicate that the Gyroscope is the same setting. They simply replaced the old option. I also purchased a 128gb card which is supported very well as opposed to the claimed 64gb . The mounting bracket which is fitted out of the box is very tight and it requires a strong philips screw driver to release it as by hand it was not possible. but again it was a simple job. Quality of plastic is very good.
I am still discovering features , it ticked all my initial boxes and way over what i purchased it for. I will look for other akaso products as this brand means business.

Great value action cam
Great little camera, recently used when snorkeling on holiday. the stabilisation worked well, the touch screen responded better that I expected for the price, supplied with waterproof case that kept the camera safe and dry whilst I was snorkeling.

Proper 4K
This is a true HD camera (unlike some that claim to be “4K”), I use it for kayaking and cycling and have had no problems with the camera so far. The image stabilisation is a must if you are doing hobbies like mine!
The app is a little temperamental when connecting to the camera but that’s not a big issue for me.
Amazing value
Amazing action Camera at such a reasonable price I am really impressed by the quality of the images and videos.
Go Pro at a third of the price !!
I was considering the go pro as seen so many people with them.
This popped up on Amazon and I thought I would give it a go. Great build quality and two batteries. All in all a go pro at less than a third of the price.
Hard to not want to buy one.
Great item
Sturdy and robust. Came with several accessories. Easy to operate
Excellent value!
With Features and an accessory pack that you would be lucky to get with a camera of twice or three times the price this is a brilliant camera at a brilliant price. Still learning how to use it and forgot to turn image stabilisation on for my first ride but the instructions are clear and well written. The spare battery is a nice touch too.

I have owned an original GoPro for 5 years now and one of the main reasons I had for choosing this Akaso camera was its 4K capability over the GoPros 1080p max. I just wanted some better quality videos, but as I don’t use them that often I didn’t want to spend hundreds on it. Amazon had a 25 off voucher which helped seal the deal. I was also interested in the 2x 1350mah batteries, as I wanted to record my bike commute after being knocked off in a hit and run, so I needed the longer running time.
First impressions were good, the camera feels well made, with a lot of accessories out of the box to get started. However it came supplied with a Mini USB cable, but the camera and charger only takes a micro USB. Also there is a screen protector that was badly fitted on the touchscreen, and there is a constant bubble at the bottom. Minor details.
As for the quality, the 4K is quite good, but you have to make sure you select the correct exposure levels,white balance and ISO etc. There isn’t really a full auto mode. I’m not that overly impressed with the 2k and 1080 settings, they just seem overly saturated and noisy, but maybe I can improve on these with different settings. Slow motion isn’t particularly clear either as it’s in 1080x90fps or 720x120fps. Forget about the 4x zoom, it only degrades the resolution, and takes 30 pushes of the zoom button to get full zoom, which just adds a loud tap sound to your audio each time. Would have been better to push and hold to get the zoom.
The 12mp camera will shoot an ok photo, but they are grainy, not brilliant. I also could not take a close up of something as it would not focus.
I used it in the car as it has a driving mode. It would certainly help prove your innocence in an incident, but I could only read about 10% of number plates coming towards me , so not really useful if the other car leaves the scene.
The best part about the camera is the EIS. The stabilization works very well.
I did have an issue with the audio recording, it practically went to zero by day 2. But a factory reset resolved it.
Overall a good camera for the 75 I paid for it.

5 star action camera
Great camera for price, 4k quality is fantastic, native 4k at 30fps, gyroscope is great at smoothing and making video stable, it’s actually better than the big name brand full HD camera its replaced that cost double the price, more than satisfied

Brilliant quality!
Fantastic product, unbelievable value for money. Comes with wide selection of accessories that make it really easy to find a way to fit to a motorcycle. Great for catching them must see moments when out riding, made even simpler by using the remote supplied. The image stabilization turned on makes for really smooth videos which is a great improvement over cameras without this feature. Has many different picture/video quality settings to choose from, meaning you will always be able to find the desired one for your needs. I was looking at paying out for one of the more well known branded cameras and I am much happier I find this camera and made the decision to buy it.

No need to go GoPro!
With this camera there is zero need to spend crazy money on a GoPro. This camera is excellent quality, at an unbeatable price!
The video and picture quality is outstanding, and the image stabilisation is excellent!!
I can’t recommend this action camera enough, it is brilliant in every way!

This is a first impressions review of the Akaso V50 X.
Firstly the camera and accessories are superbly packaged. The waterproof housing is robust and well thought out with easily accessible buttons. Opening the box you’ll find a quick reference guide, two batteries and the associated charger and USB cable, the remote control and wrist strap, various mounting brackets, straps and fixings. Everything you’ll need in fact to get going on your first action adventure except a micro SD card.
Initial camera set-up is intuitive, which is good because the included reference guide is lacking in any real detail. Fortunately Akaso have included a web address in the guide to download the full user manual, which I suggest is well worth getting even if you’re happy to just set-up and go since it gives details of the various ISO settings, video resolutions, etc. Incidentally the touch screen is a real bonus saving much button pressing to get through the various menu options.
In use I found switching between the various camera and video modes and resolution options quick and easy. The control buttons are positive and responsive and the audible and visual cues/indicators give assurance that the desired operation is underway.
Akaso have thought about the design aspects of the V50 X and have included what are in my opinion several welcome additions, particularly the built-in tripod/mini-pod mount and the sliding battery housing hatch. I also like the look and feel of the operation and selection buttons, although the touch screen makes the majority of button pushing obsolete.
I’ve used action cameras under water on various occasions and have found some to be better than others. I can’t wait to take the V50 X to the beach and put it through its paces on a dive. When I do I’ll revisit this review and add to it.
Pros:
Touch screen, ease of set-up, tripod/mini-pod mount, optional shooting angles.
Cons:
None found as yet.
Media included in this review:
* Images taken at the four available viewing angles shot at 12M resolution.
* Video shot at 1080p, 60fps
Ease of use and doesn't disappoint.
Amazing action camera. First of all you get lots of extras, brackets for just about any situation. Comes with two batteries a charger and a waterproof case. Another handy tool is a remote control unit so the V50X can be controlled via the remote strapped to your wrist.
The product is extremely easy to set up and use. I particularly like the touch screen ability which makes operating very easy. For the price you pay it’s a no brainer compared to other cameras that’s are much more expensive. The quality of build is excellent, the Akaso V50X has a feel of quantity.
I am really pleased with the picture and video images both are very crisp and clear.
I would definitely recommend the Akaso V50X.
Ease of use and doesn't disappoint.
Amazing action camera. First of all you get lots of extras, brackets for just about any situation. Comes with two batteries a charger and a waterproof case. Another handy tool is a remote control unit so the V50X can be controlled via the remote strapped to your wrist.
The product is extremely easy to set up and use. I particularly like the touch screen ability which makes operating very easy. For the price you pay it’s a no brainer compared to other cameras that’s are much more expensive. The quality of build is excellent, the Akaso V50X has a feel of quantity.
I am really pleased with the picture and video images both are very crisp and clear.

This is a first impressions review of the Akaso V50 X.
Firstly the camera and accessories are superbly packaged. The waterproof housing is robust and well thought out with easily accessible buttons. Opening the box you’ll find a quick reference guide, two batteries and the associated charger and USB cable, the remote control and wrist strap, various mounting brackets, straps and fixings. Everything you’ll need in fact to get going on your first action adventure except a micro SD card.
Initial camera set-up is intuitive, which is good because the included reference guide is lacking in any real detail. Fortunately Akaso have included a web address in the guide to download the full user manual, which I suggest is well worth getting even if you’re happy to just set-up and go since it gives details of the various ISO settings, video resolutions, etc. Incidentally the touch screen is a real bonus saving much button pressing to get through the various menu options.
In use I found switching between the various camera and video modes and resolution options quick and easy. The control buttons are positive and responsive and the audible and visual cues/indicators give assurance that the desired operation is underway.
Akaso have thought about the design aspects of the V50 X and have included what are in my opinion several welcome additions, particularly the built-in tripod/mini-pod mount and the sliding battery housing hatch. I also like the look and feel of the operation and selection buttons, although the touch screen makes the majority of button pushing obsolete.
I’ve used action cameras under water on various occasions and have found some to be better than others. I can’t wait to take the V50 X to the beach and put it through its paces on a dive. When I do I’ll revisit this review and add to it.
Pros:
Touch screen, ease of set-up, tripod/mini-pod mount, optional shooting angles.
Cons:
None found as yet.
Media included in this review:
* Images taken at the four available viewing angles shot at 12M resolution.
* Video shot at 1080p, 60fps
after a couple of close calls on my bike I wanted a handlebar camera. The brand leader was ridiculously expensive and the cheaper models have too small battery. A tech web page recommended the AKASO V50 X as best budget buy, so I gave it a go. setting the camera up to record 1080 at 30fps was easy – I wanted maximum longevity. Then I found a “gyroscope” mode, which I assumed was image stabilisation, as it produced a shacking icon on screen. I went for a 3hour ride, a mixture of road, cycle track, gravel trails and mud. The video produced was superb, clear pictures, hardly any camera shake evident. The touch screen works well, and I still had plenty of battery left , I guess I could have done 4 hours. It appears to be fairly robust, and has a rubberised feel, which is great for gripping with sweaty hands
The only negative is that the brand leader is waterproof while the AKASO V50 X needs to be used in a housing in the rain.
