Tolle Qualität zum niedrigen Preis
Bin echt berrascht ber das Produkt, finde sie bis jetzt Klasse. Leider hat sich beim ffnen des Batteriefachs das Plastik gelst, lie sich jedoch ohne Probleme wieder an bringen. Ob sie jetzt noch Wasserdicht ist? Das einzige Manko … die Akkus, mssen leider sehr schnell getauscht werden. Ansonsten eine Tolle Kamera.
Good
Not had this camera long but it seams to be good quality good picture and video quality just that the battery life is only an hour all the extra you get with the camera is excelle
Qualität pass
Im Vergleich zur GoPro ein Schnppchen, zur Wasserdichtigkeit ohne Gehuse kann ich nicht viel sagen da ich sie im Wasser nur mit diesem nutze, allerdings ist die Bildqualitt des videos Unterwasser echt gut und brauchbar, auch die Fotos knnen sich fr den Preis echt sehen lassen. Natrlich bekommt man hier nicht das Optimum an verarbeitungsqualitt und Bildqualitt aber wahrscheinlich deutlich mehr als man denk

Je suis agrable surpris de la qualit de cette camra sportive. les images sont excellentes qualits et les vidos sont trs fluides.
Je l’utilise surtout pour enregistrer mes sorties vlo et en moto. Elle est fournie avec beaucoup accessoires pour tout type de fixation, 2 batteries, chargeur de piles etc.. vraiment trs pratique pour diffrentes utilisations. j’ai pas eu du mal transfrer mes images vers mon smartphone.
J’ai vraiment hte de la tester pour mes prochaines vacances la mer.
Pour le moment pas du de mon achat.

Pregi:
– Ottime foto, ben dettagliate e calibrate
– video veramente fantastici (soprattutto la modalit notturna)
– Stabilizazzione ottima
– molto utile la possibilit di regolare l’angolo di visuale
– il telecomando stato rivoluzionato rispetto al modello precendete ed ora comodissimo da usare
– il doppio schermo un plus super vincente e comodissimo
– il men interno della cam ben leggibile e fatto molto bene
– la modalit scarsa luminosit incredibile (la migliore che io abbia mai visto su una cam)
– l’app fatta molto bene, inoltre si possono gi fare delle modifiche ai nostri filmati o alle nostre foto tramite l’app (come per esempio creare un mini filmato di presentazione)
Difetti:
– bella l’idea di inserire i comandi vocali per impartire azioni alla cam senza dover usare il telecomando, per nel mio caso non funzionano, inoltre non s neanche quanto siano utili se vi trovate in mezzo al traffico o alla gente (meglio il telecomando)
– ogni tanto il telecomando non funziona bene
– il microfono interno non lavora benissimo e soprattutto in condizioni di traffico o di vento f molta fatica a captare la voce
– c la possiblit di poter usare un microfono esterno, ma non presente in confezione ed reperibile solo sullo store akaso
– l’ingresso della scheda sd in una posizione scomoda
– non presente l’attacco per la vite da 1/4 per poter avviatare la cam ad un treppiede o ad un selfie-stick (per me su tutte le cam sopra i 100 dovrebbe esserecene uno)
– per chi possiede un’iphone come me, una volta che avr fatto i video e deve scaricarli sul device, dovr prima convertirli da mp4 a mov perch altrimenti l’iphone non riuscir a riprodurli
In sintesi ve la consiglio perch la miglior cam che io abbia mai provato

Nice looking camera!
Very happy with this very cheap alternative to the much more expensive Go-Pros out there!
I like my new Akaso Brave 7.. Video and stabilisation is very nice..
My mic is ok.. Maybe new version with mic.
I like this action camera.
Bargain action camera for the price
Bought this to function as helmet camera for my commutes to work. Came with a whole collection of accessorries so i didn’t need to worry about buying extras for mounting to the helmet.
You will just need to sort thropugh the various options to get the one you want so the camera points in the right direction for where you have mounted it.
I ride in all weathers so will have to see if my hour commute in the British winter weather posing any problems, i will update if required.
Bought a 128Gb SanDisk Extreme sd card to go with it and it recognised that straight away and formatted it easily.
Above a copuple of test pics, the first is a still with the standard settings, 20M, and the short video is at 1080p, which is what i will be using on a daily basis.
Image stabilisation seems pretty good, although only from the point of walking round so far but it definitely makes a big difference in the results.
Connected the camera to a USB3 socket on my PC to download the video and pic, selected USB storage option on the camera and it connected quickly and downloaded the files fine. I initially connected through a passthrough port on my keyboard which it didn’t seem to like but direct to a USB3 port was fine.
Doesn’t come with a manual in the box but there is a card with QR codes to go download one, which i actually prefer.
Tried the camera as a webcam but the quality didn’t look great with the native windows camera app. When i tried to cahnge the resolution of the camera in windows camera app the app stopped responding and the picture disappeared, which i suspect is an issue with the app rather than the camera.
I will be taking ther camera diving in a pool in October so here’s hoping the 10m waterproofing is as stated.
Overall, very pleased with the purchase. Good price, comes with all the connection options i need to either hard mount to the bike or to my helmet. Happy days.

Impressive, especially for an alleged "budget" camera
First impressions were good, the packaging is high quality and very similar to my first GoPro Hero 960 a long time back. The clip the camera was attached to had a very clever accessory which consisted of a rubber bung with a hoop to attach to any accessory screw, the bung prevents the release tabs on the clip being squeezed together ensuring the clip can’t be undone accidentally. It’s a very simple idea, but also works perfectly.
The camera comes packaged with a decent number of accessories. Having used GoPro’s and other action cams in the past I already own most of these accessories but it’s nice to have them included, Yi/Xaiomi for example haven’t supplied any accessories when I’ve bought their cams in the past.
One major criticism is that the camera doesn’t have a tripod thread in the camera, which means you can only use GoPro-style accessories for mounting. For me a tripod thread should be mandatory on any camera of any type. It’s not a deal-breaker, but given the camera is waterproof without using a case, a tripod thread would be a bonus.
The camera itself feels sturdy and weighty, parts of the body feel like they might be metal alloy, but the battery/connector doors definitely do not. The Yi cameras I own are absolutely plastic-y, whereas the Akaso feels more rugged. On the other hand the Akaso seems a little heavier, meaning my Hohem gimbal will cope with it, but vibrates at times showing that the gimbal motors are being overwhelmed. I might need to set up the gimbal to deal with the camera.
The camera boots up to some fairly acceptable stock settings, although I will always tweak these. Turning on EIS, 50hz mains (because I’m in the UK), distortion correction and 140 FOV are all musts for me, but that’s just my preferences. The rear screen is the default, the front “selfie” screen seems to only be available by using the down key on the side of the camera. I’ve never owned an action cam with a selfie screen, but I thought the selfie screen would be available simultaneously with the main screen. It’s not a big issue though.
I’ve tried a few shots with the Brave 7 so far and the output looks great. I plan on using this as my main action camera over the coming months, and it seems to be good value so far. I’m curious as to whether the screw-off lens cover will allow for different lenses or accessories, but at this stage I can’t see any available. Being able to attach different lenses or even filters would transform this camera though.
Overall it seems to be a quality bit of kit to me, I’d very much recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to splash the cash on the D*I or GoP*o alternatives.

The Good points..
The Akaso Brave 7 is a well made quality camera.
I was pleasantly surprised that the sound issue i had seen in YouTube videos has been sorted out.
The onboard Audio is Good and Clear!!
The camera came with the firmware upto date and ready to use out of the box!!
This records in 4k with Good results!!
They are plenty of accessories in the box for most use.
The bad points..
The only downside is with the camera casing on, you can not open the side door for USB C charging by external power bank or use driving mode!!
As stated in a reply e-mail from Akaso the side door does Not open with the frame on.
To use in car mode as stated in the manual you need to attach a USB c cable to your car 12v socket.
You can’t do that if you can not open the cover to the USB socket!!
You need the frame on to attach to Attachments!!
The camera when used in a car window is generally used upside down and although the camera shows the correct view it does in Fact record upside down!!
The Older Brave 7le does have the upside down function!!
So if your not bothered about those things then this is an ok 4k camera.
Not good in cloudy or low light!!

Habe bereits eine AKASO V 50 Pro SE – und bin zufrieden deshalb habe ich mir als zustzliche Cam wieder eine AKASO gekauft (nutze diese auch fr Video-Aufnahmen fr’s Schlagzeug – d.h.
Multi-Kamera-Mode fr drum-covers auf meinem youtube-Kanal: perfekte Bildqualitt. Und im Urlaub kann ich diese dann auch noch nutzen. Mit Gehuse absolut Wasserdicht (ohne Gehuse habe ich nicht getestet, ist mir zu riskant. Man hat aber mit IPX8 dennoch ein sicheres Gefhl, falls die Kamera auch ohne Gehuse mal Wasser abbekommt z.B. in den Pool fllt.

Great camera especially with watersports
At first I thought it was alright but then I went on holiday and did some watersports and it took some great videos. Did some swimming in the sea as well and again some awesome shots. Only one small problem which was the mic making strange noises in water or wind but wasn’t a big issue as the video was great anyway.

Impressive for the price
Fantastic little camera and impressed at the quality for the price. Microphone pickup could be better as a little quiet but works great for what I need it to.
Great camera but poor sound quality without the seperate microphone.
Great camera, easy to use and very good quality videos. Let down by the poor sound quality from the built in microphone, if they could fix that would be nearly perfect. Official plug in microphone is cheap enough though and sound greatly improved.
Inclusion of the remote control and ease of control with the app are both great too.
Great quality pictures, sound ok, amazing value for money
I bought this camera mostly for mountain biking and bikepacking tours, and it’s been doing a great job so far. The video / picture quality is brilliant, and image stabilization does a perfectly good job as well (although it falls slightly short of my friend’s GoPro 9). It comes with a range of different mounts, I use the handlebar mount, and the stick on mount for a helmet (which I have secured with an included strap for extra security). Audio quality is ok, it works very well in a quiet environment, even if there is some wind or background noise, it’s still ok (I had quite low expectations from youtube reviews though 🙂 ).
Battery life is better than for many other comparable cameras (about 80-90 mins of video recording time per battery when you record with 4k30 frames/s).
Overall, a great action camera with all the functions you need.

Good value, lower cost alternative to a GoPro
Good quality images. Image stabilisation works well, which is important for me as I’m using it on a bike. Sound quality isn’t important for me so I haven’t assessed that – others report it’s not so good. For me it’s a good alternative to the much more expensive GoPro cameras for those like me who can’t justify the extra cost of GoPro. By the way the video clips on this site don’t do justice to real life video quality so don’t be put off by that.
Better than what some YouTube videos say about i
Watched many YouTube videos on this camera used it for a little bit till battery died so charging them up.
It’s very good quality and cheap I have bought this mainly for my motorbike but all so I’ll use it as a dash cam in my car. And I may make YouTube vids on my bike. Very happy with the quality and the price.

Fantastic value
This Action camera is fantastic, i fancied an update from my Akaso ek7000 which i have have used over the last 4 years, but this new Brave 7 is a totally different level, so wish i had upgraded before, the video and picture quality is spot on for what i need, with so many other options including a fantastic remote control
good price for a fantastic piece of kit.

Good
The camera is goodthe photo or video quality are all good. It is suitable for people who want a easy- carry camera
Great produc
Great product for kite surfing, clear images and very durable and will be a great addition at disney next yea
Fully Loaded
Terrific value for money when compared to the more expensive competition out there, but because it’s lean on price, don’t expect the Akaso Brave 7 to fall short on features, it’s doesn’t. It’s a quality piece of kit, solidly constructed and has everything in the way of features that most people would need. Highly Recommended.
Really good action camera but there is an issue
I’m really pleased with this action camera. I was going to get gopro however reviews weren’t that good for the price you pay. I decided to get something more budget friendly but before purchase i watched numbers of reviews on YouTube. So far I’m really of my choice. Using it mainly for horse riding
Update : after using it 5 times I noticed that I always have kind a mist on videos (i made sure lens is clear). It will start occurring with longer than 10 min videos. It is very disappointing because I lost a lot of amazing videos due to this cosmetic issue. It is very bad you literally cant use the video. I’ll return the camera

Akaso Brave 7 - Fantastic Action Camera
The AKASO Brave 7 is a brilliant quality action camera that also takes great photo’s, what you get for the price is fantastic, I have found the voice recognition feature very useful for taking pictures.
Build quality is great with no issues, I purchased the external microphone as seen on another review which has transformed the sound quality, its amazing on play back what it picks up even with the road noise. Whilst riding I have the camera set up on a handlebar extension with the housing supplied as pictures attached, and it is rock solid and smooth.
Very well packaged with everything you need, looking forward to using on the next holiday.
Happy with the image quality, audio is weak
Used this camera for the first time last week to record some mountain biking. This is my first action camera, so I don’t have anything to compare it too, but I’m really pleased with the image quality. I mounted the camera on my handlebars first with the included mount, and then I attached it to the underside of my QuadLock mount. The included remote was also strapped to my handlebar meaning that starting and stopping recordings was very easy.
Audio quality is poor, but I’d read that in other review, so was not surprised, and I wasn’t really planning on keeping the audio anyway so this was fine, but if you are looking for an action camera with good audio this probably isn’t for you. I didn’t use the mic accessory which may improve audio.
Overall very please with this camera – and for a great price too.

Audio quality is poor, but I’d read that in other review, so was not surprised, and I wasn’t really planning on keeping the audio anyway so this was fine, but if you are looking for an action camera with good audio this probably isn’t for you. I didn’t use the mic accessory which may improve audio.
Overall very please with this camera – and for a great price too.
Excellent value for money, and good introduction to action cameras.
Improved EIS would be a welcome addition in future versions.
The front-screen is a must!
I was looking for a camera to go trekking – since it’s not a thing that I do usually, I wanted a product that could deliver quality without being super overpriced. The front-screen is amazing since it gives you the vlog vibe with an action camera.
Akaso Brave 7 really came through – it’s light, can easily be attached my tripod and the colors are actually quite good.
Going to give it a try next month on the ocean while snorkeling. 5/5 so far.

Good value action cam; picture excellent, sound so-so; voice activation not working for me
I’m still getting used to this, and I am new to action cams, but that said, first impressions are good quality video. Good image stabilisation. Rather poor sound.
The remote seemed to work well. The voice activation failed completely for me. It was turned on, but did not respond to my voice. I don’t know why, but that will be something to investigate.
In the test images you’ll see that colours and reproduction look good in bright sunlight. Indoor shots on the shady side of the house were less impressive, but adequate.
Trying to film a hover fly right up close demonstrated that macro focus is not the strong point of the camera, but I suspect it’s not intended to be.
Likewise it felt as though there were a slight delay between taking a photo and the ‘click’ sound. Will be interesting to see whether that makes it difficult to get shots of moving subects. Perhaps the answer there will be ‘burst’ shooting.
Transferring the data over to a Mac seemed very straightforward. Menus and settings seem fairly easy to use.
So far I’m fairly impressed with the package. I was expecting there to be a waterproof casing in addition to the IPX8. There isn’t. Perhaps it isn’t needed. I guess I’ll find out when I take the camera to the beach in a few days time. I’ll try and update this after further testing. But for the moment I feel that I’ve dropped a reasonably large amount of money on something that is good value and just below the top of the range (with equally top of the range prices).

I have recently started doing motorbike riding and wanted a camera to record the beautiful sceneries on the road. After extensive research and watching a lot of youtube videos from around the world,I have decided to purchase Akaso Brave 7 which is the latest model from Akaso brand.I was looking at the budget range and one that would give me quality videos. I have to say that I am not at all disappointed by this product. For about 150 ,this camera can easily challenge the industry leading cams.I have recorded some videos of me riding my motorbike( See attached video) .I have attached the camera to the handle bar for this and was pleasantly surprised by the image stabilisation and the picture quality.I have played this on my 4K tele and all my friends and family were impressed by the quality.One of my friend recently bought another budget camera and on comparison, he was super impressed by the quality of this Akaso. There are a range of mounts supplied with this camera and you do not need to buy any other accessory other than a decent memory card.I bought 128 GB Sandisk Ultra card (120mbs/s) and there was no issue with storing the images.Transfering the image was easy.Connect the camera with the supplied cable and select what you need the camera to do from the display.(See pictures) Transfer was fast to my mac .It takes a significant amount of space when recording on 4K,so it is important to have a high capacity memory card. This camera is waterproof as such and has a plastic cover which is used to attach the different mounts. One of the issue with this plastic cover is that there seemed to lot of noise caused by the vibrations ,possible from this cover, especially when you mount the camera on bicycle or motorbike. However,this is not an issue for me as I will not be recording road noise.When I recorded it hand held,there was no issue with sound at all.Another issues is that when you remove the battery,camera loses its settings for image stabilisation and date.You need to remember to change the settings to your preferred one every time you change the battery.
This camera looks solid and displays the quality.Front screen allows you to record selfies.Another feature that I like is that it can be mounted on car and can be used as dash cam. You would need to open the side cover for this and attach the power cable to camera and other end to usb charger.Camera won’t be waterproof once you open this side cover (as seen on the picture) and therfore, can only be used inside the car.
Another useful addition is the remote which can be wrapped around your arm using the supplied straps and you can use this to start and stop recording or to take photos.
In summary what I like in this camera is that it comes with 2 batteries and a dual battery charger,remote control for recording video and taking photos,lot of accessories and mounts,camera itself is waterproof, Quality of images and stabilisation,Ability to use as a dash cam, Touch screen function,Dual screen for vlogging,most of all …it is very affordable
I like this camera and waiting to go out and get more amazing shots on my motorbike.

Excellent Camera and Brilliant at its Price!
A brilliant camera at its price, Hardy and excellent video quality! Plenty of accessories come standard, really nice touch!
excellent camera
This is my second water proof camera I use for swimming and I am really pleased with it. It arrived on a second day after ordered. I have had it for a month and it works perfectly, so I was able to give my old camera to a friend. I do not drive a lot but I am sure I will use it as a dash camera soon. I do not write reviews very often but I am really happy with this cam.
Fantastic action camera at an affordable price
I love paddleboarding and I carry my phone on a water proof bag to take photos, which is not ideal. My friend bought the Brave 7 LE (launch edition) a few days ago and I was impressed. I then found out there was this newer model, which is fully waterproof without a case, has better stabilization and the option to add an external microphone. It comes with two batteries, a remote control with a display to take photos and videos without holding the camera and plenty of adapters. It does not come with an SD card, though. I really like that it has a front display as well, which none of the GoPro cameras have except the top of the range hero 9 that costs a fortune. So for this price, a waterproof camera with dual display, great stabilization, two batteries and remote control is perfect for me. Only negatives are the lack of an SD card, although I have plenty around the house and the picture quality is not going to be as good as one taken from my phone, but when I am in the water, I don’t feel like taking my phone out of the waterproof bag in case I drop it, so this Brave7 is fantastic for what I need. I am giving four stars, but if we take the price into consideration, it probably should be 5 stars. I do not think there is a better camera at this price range out there. You would have to move into the 200- 300 range for that.

Very nifty little action cam
This is my first action cam so I’m no expert but I wanted one that was easy to use, didn’t cost an arm and a leg and worked well – and this is certainly that!
Straight out of the box it was easy to use and set up (and I don’t have a techie brain!) got it straight on the bike and took it out for a spin.
Time lapse was great fun to film a cross country cycle and a few jumps in slow motion looked fantastic!!!
I’m sure it can do a lot more and I can’t wait to keep playing with it and learning more about it.
Fab bit of kit!!
his camera will give go pro a run for the money
good action camera for the price . easy to use touch screen plus the remote makes life easy as well. did take black and white picture as well as colour setting are easy to understand and the case and accessories are quite good. the only thing i find odd is that you do have to have the case on to use the accessories as no mount for tripod on the camera itself but also no big deal as you get enough accessories with it.
i would recommend this camera if you are starting out as it is a lot cheaper than most other action cameras and it does give you quite a lot for your money

Superb quality
This is a very worthwhile purchase. I bought it for capturing some of the routes that I ride through a heath close to where I live. It has big man-made jumps as well. It has two screens – a front for selfies and the back which shows the standard view looking out. The touch screen functionality on the screen works very well as well. It is water resistant and super durable. The captured footage is amazing. The camera does a great job of capturing stabilised footage as well. Videos can be viewed in 4k resolution at 30 FPS and photos comes with an impressive 20MP resolution.
Another impressive feature is the app. It is called AKASO Go and it gives a means of being able to share content on social media and also edit the footage. It works really well. The quality is superb overall.
Great camera with lots of accessories
Having used a different action camera from Akaso before, and needing a second one for upcoming holidays I decided to give this camera a try. And I can say that it does not disappoint. It is a significant upgrade from my other camera while remaining just as easy and familiar to use.
I really like that this camera is waterproof out of the box, which negates the need for a case around it. The added mounting frame is sturdy albeit it took a bit of fiddling to remove it the first time, but now that I am used to it, it is easy.
It comes with a variety of mounts, straps, remote, two batteries and the charger. The remote feels good in the hand and makes it so much easier to start/stop recording without having to fiddle with the camera itself.
So far I am really impressed with this camera and would recommend it 100%.
Gopro quality at a fraction of the price
I just got the camera and been playing with it. Image quality is great for the price range.
I had a gopro 3 black, and an akaso v50 elite.
Not sure against the new gopros, but I don’t miss anything about my previous action cams.
I place it on a similar level than my friends GoPro HERO 8.
No need to use a cumbersome case for normal use (the case it comes with is so you can attach the mounts), it is waterproof up to 10m and the texture of the camera is rubbery, so it will not slip on wet hands.
It comes with a lot of accesories and two batteries and a handy dual charger (or can charge the battery in the camera)
The camera itself has a usb-c connector, the charger a micro-usb.
The cam can be used as a webcam as well, on top of the normal file transfer and so on.
It has a front screen (press the down button for a couple of secconds to change to front screen) so you can take selfies. Screen is ok, although in a really bright day can be difficult to see, altough not impossible (same level than my phone, I mean, it can be brighter, but it is enough for the size and use)
It has slow motion (1080p 90fps, 720p 120fps), image stabilitation, wdr…
Image quality is pretty good on good light and usable on night time (attached video (the day portion, I had the camera upside down, so had to rotate it, is the only edit in the video))
The menus are easy to navigate.
The remote control is a nice addition, together with the voice control. Voice control is ok, although I prefer the remote control, as if it is noisy, the voice could sometimes not be heard.
The phone app works prety well, although everytime you change something it takes a couple of seconds to apply, so it is slow going (maybe an “apply” button would be better)
It has timelapse mode, and a driving mode, that let’s you use it as a dashcam, will turn on and start recording as soon as power is provided.
Still photos are pretty ok, giving you self-timer, burst mode, timelapse, and long exposure, and can configure some (ammount of pictures, etc) Best thing is the distortion calibration, removing the usual fish eye.

Great piece of kit for fraction of the cost.
Very nice quality action camera. Cannot to use it as l have lots of plans coming up. Delivery by Amazon was first class. AKASO you have just made me a YouTuber!,,,
I also love the accessories that come with the action camera. Awesome kit and love it!!!!

My main activity is a photographer/ videographer and besides all the gear that I have I needed an action camera so I was keep looking and looking which one to buy when there are plenty of options.
Came across this brand and this particular model and after using it I have come to the conclusion that it was a good decision to purchase it.
To go into the details:
What you get?
The camera(main unit), a remote control, a strap for that remote, 2 batteries, 1 charger and some mounts. The cool thing is you can charge the batteries at the same time, the charger has 2 slots.
Build quality?
It is actually nice, straight from the pack the camera has a hard case which is made from plastic/ rubber and keeps the camera safe. The design is easy to understand, I mean where the buttons are placed and what these do. There is a screen at the back and front that can be turned off in the settings.
The rest of the accessories?
The adaptors are just regular solid plastic, not that much to talk about, what is interesting here is the remote control which for my type of work is a good ad on to this camera.
I can control some functions of the camera using the remote, in my case the most important is record and stop record which I use the most.
Video quality?
You cannot expect for some unreal unbelievable considering the paid price but, there is but here, i would say daylight it performs quite well, night, so so but overall good video quality.
At 4k 30fps the quality is good and with stabilisation on is even better. In editing you can change quite a lot but mind the files are not raw.
Picture quality?
Good, the dynamic range makes a good balance between darks and highlights, size of the camera for pics is 20mp so quite large size.
Colours of the videos and pictures?
Vibrant, clear separation, bright! Now, considering that the footage comes quite sharp the balance between colors highlights and contrast is good.
The build in microphone?
I dont use so not that much to say about it. MIND though, you can add an external mic if wanted.
Waterproof? Yes, the user manual says 10m depth without a case, I didnt try that but I filmed the effect when I pour liquid on top of it and yes, everything is ok.
Battery life?
I cannot tell precisely how long a fully charged battery lasts because I use the camera to film 10 min, then again 10 min so no constant video.
MIND you will need a micro SD card to make this work, comes without. Mine is 128gb and there is plenty of room
Overall experience with this camera so far?
Good, specially having the remote control which is helpful.

Fantastic little action camera. About the same size as a GoPro, and in-fact it’s comparable to the earlier GoPro’s such as the GoPro 6 with the EIOS image stabiliser and the touch screen.
The native 4K resolution paired with the high quality lens gives fantastic image and video quality. I’ve uploaded two time-lapse videos to this review, but the quality is crystal clear. I used a 120GB Class 10 MicroSD memory card and it worked fine with plenty of space left after a 3 day time-lapse video at 1 x 4K pic every 60 seconds for 72 hours. The colours are bright and vivid, the image is sharp and clear when zoomed in. Would make a good dash cam.
Camera is easy to use, comes with two batteries and can be powered or charged via the USB-C port. Only thing i have a problem with is that if the plugged in and the camera is recording; if you unplug or turn off the power supply, the camera will automatically power off too, even though the battery is fully charged. Makes doing a time lapse using a powerbank difficult, so I connected it straight to a USB wall plug and it ran fine for 3 days straight to do the grass growing video. There’s no setting to change this, maybe in a future firmware update.
Otherwise the build quality is great, video quality is brilliant, touch screen is useful and easy enough to navigate around the camera and it’s settings. Front screen is useful for selfies. Overall great camera and I love it, perfect for what I purchased it for.
Super image quality, full 4K resolution. Easy to use.

Great bit of kit!!
So far so good out of the box. The quality is fantastic and beyond expectations for the cost. Set up was easy and functionality is brilliant. Will update age first use but first impressions are great.
At this price point, image quality has greatly improved and is excellent. I find the 2.7K resolution sufficient whereas I was previously using a 4K setting on a SJCAM. Fewer pixels gives extended battery life.
For me, the main plus is the watertight (IPx8) camera enclosure eliminates the clear plastic dive housing. That restricted access and usually had an awkward and tight lock mechanism. However, the plastic camera frame supplied is insufficiently rigid and close fitting. It rattles on many road surfaces. The resulting clatter drowns out ambient sound and blurs the image. (The video audio demonstrates this though image pixellation is due to amazon’s compression).
The USB door is accessible in the cage for attaching an external powerpack. I have not seen an aftermarket replacement rainwater shield to use the USB port with an external power bank (as with a GoPro).
The OSD is clear and uncluttered. The user interface is quite intuitive and easily accessed. The touch screen is responsive and more than sufficient for camera adjustment.
Overall, the external finish is good but could be improved. The sliding waterproof doors lack a positive feel of closure and are initially stiff and fiddly. Like other cameras, long fingernails are required to insert/extract the microSD card. I have had no issues using a 128Gb SanDisk Class 10. Also, there is no tripod female screw mount.
A small minus point is there is no invert image option in the Settings. A common location is underslung beneath an out-front bike computer mount. It would be a useful addition (inverting in VLC is simple but leaves the timestamp upside down).
The second battery and dual battery charger saves that additional after-purchase expense. There was a generous supply of accessories though I probably will not use most. The remote control is a great bonus to start/stop recording away from the camera.
A useful unpromoted feature is the camera emits a loud alarm around 5 minutes before the battery expires. 1hr30-45min of 2.7k30 footage from each battery at 11degC is decent.
Overall a worthwhile purchase though, for bike use, a sturdier cage is essential. It saved an expensive upgrade to a DGI Osmo or Hero 9 that, for me, would not have been worthwhile.

The OSD is clear and uncluttered. The user interface is quite intuitive and easily accessed. The touch screen is responsive and more than sufficient for camera adjustment.
Overall, the external finish is good but could be improved. The sliding waterproof doors lack a positive feel of closure and are initially stiff and fiddly. Like other cameras, long fingernails are required to insert/extract the microSD card. I have had no issues using a 128Gb SanDisk Class 10. Also, there is no tripod female screw mount.
A small minus point is there is no invert image option in the Settings. A common location is underslung beneath an out-front bike computer mount. It would be a useful addition (inverting in VLC is simple but leaves the timestamp upside down).
The second battery and dual battery charger saves that additional after-purchase expense. There was a generous supply of accessories though I probably will not use most. The remote control is a great bonus to start/stop recording away from the camera.
A useful unpromoted feature is the camera emits a loud alarm around 5 minutes before the battery expires. 1hr30-45min of 2.7k30 footage from each battery at 11degC is decent.
Overall a worthwhile purchase though, for bike use, a sturdier cage is essential. It saved an expensive upgrade to a DGI Osmo or Hero 9 that, for me, would not have been worthwhile.
. Great value for money. i would highly recommend.
AKASO Brave 7 Review The Brave 7 has the appearance of a nice action camera.

Good Action Camera for the Price
I got this camera to replace a previous model (EK7000). The big advantage with this camera is that it is fully waterproof without the need of an additional case. Although the sound quality is not fantastic it is certainly an improvement on my previous model (when in waterproof case), however, this can be improved by the addition of an external mic.
The addition of a front screen is also a nice touch meaning framing us easier for selfies.
Updated remote is also good, showing some useful information regarding camera status. Only downside is that it has a micro-usb connection as opposed to usb-c on the main body, but that’s just being picky.
All in all a nice action camera.
Brave 7 does Akaso proud
For the normal person this is brilliant bit of kit. Very user friendly and good quality. In my opinion the Brave 7 out plays any of the big brands at a fraction of the cost.
This is my 4th to add to my current collection and will definitely not be my last.
Another epic camera by Akaso.

Great action cam
Really great action cam. Really sturdy build quality, good quality footage. Comes with tons of accessories and mounts. Brilliant value for money. Very impressed. Like the fact it is waterproof without the case. Works well with the app. Looks really smart. We already had a lower spec version which we bought last year for our son and were super impressed with that so wanted a higher spec version for ourselves- for sailing and MTB footage. This has not disappointed.

I’ve decided that after lockdown I want to create more memories and use a action camera to vlog my experiences. This has to be the most affordable camera that I’ve really enjoyed using!
I like how it feels like an expensive camera, the video and photo quality is really good with lots of different settings, but more importantly easy to use.
It comes with lots of free accessories which you can mount on bicycles for example – that’s a great add on!
The screen is visible under direct sunlight, and you can use the free remote control provided in the package as well.
Overall I would recommend this to anyone thats looking to capture action memories on a bike or parachuting for example!
I’m really pleased with this purchase, it’s another great addition to my akaso collection!
I’d appreciate it if you found this review useful and gave it a thumbs up! 🙂
Great, video and build quality.
Great product so far. I have used over the weekend and I really enjoying this little action camera. The video quality is superb, very userfriendly interface with a lot of settings to choose from a main screen, plus more from camera settings. In addition you get crazy amount of accessories.

Dual display
I was after action camera which offers dual display, front and back , gives better idea what in which angle captured. Got this one which has dual display and in same time it has 4K capability.
It’s dual display both colourful, front display bit smaller than back display, however still very visible what capturing. Ideal when doing selfie or recording video .
Resolution max can set up for 4K on 30 frames per second, perfect clear footage just bear in mind that perfect quality footage but in same time it takes bit more storage so need bigger memory card.
Also came with many standard holders and waterproof under water case. Two batteries and battery charger which can charge 2 batteries in once.
Remote control comes similar to watch, with easy control style.
Overall very easy to use and high resolution action camera, just need to get memory card with fast writing speed to get best result.
This is an excellent quality Action Camera that is very easy to use and provides great quality images.
I wanted a camera that provided good quality still images as well as top quality recordings but also had to be easy to use with a good battery life.
This camera arrived with 2 batteries and a great accessory pack that includes some great universal mounts. You can mount this on almost anything, bike, helmet, chest strap etc.
Set up is an absolute doddle, I inserted a 32GB micro SD Card for my recordings which is plenty.
The front screen is great for when you are taking selfie images and video so you can now see you are getting the shot you need. The touch screen is very responsive and nice and bright.
Overall I have been pleasantly surprised by this camera and for the following reasons I have decided to rate it 5 stars:
Easy to set up
Easy to use
Excellent quality
Great pictures and videos
Excellent battery life
Amazing accessories
Nice addition of a remote
Excellent for the price, metal lens case
I own branded one so for me it easy to compare. Basically it’s juts a little bit worse in pic quality and the stabilisation software but for literally half price is jut amazing. In the box there’s a lot of additional bits and very good remote with the display to control the camera remotely. What impressed me the most was the metal lens case and changeable lens cover. Excellent camera for the price to be hones
Since I was nearly killed by a mad bus driver recently I thought I’ve got to have a good action camera ready. Compared to an old model (I have EK7000) this one is a huge improvement. Easy to operate on touch screen, mp4 file, EIS, waterproof (only tested in rainy day, not submerged in water yet), everything I needed for my purpose, and good value. Its audio quarity is pretty dissapponting but in the end, I decided to use it for my bike journey purpose.I attached the camera at the rucksack strap and compared with and without EIS.
A couple of minor issues
Occasional sudden static noise when playback
Video is cut every 6:39
Excellent quality
Image quality is excellent on this little action cam, build quality seems strong and with the added case all buttons are accessible including charging point and sd card slot. The range of accessories supplied with the camera should be enough for any situation and user.
Only drawback I can find to this package is that no charging lead is supplied for the remote controller, as it is not a c type like the battery charger, but overall this is an excellent package and more than compares to other cameras at 3x the price.

AKASO Brave 7 Action Camera - Awesome Sports Camera and Beautifully Designed!
Got to use my AKASO Brave for a few days now, definitely impressed!
I must start with the stabilization results of the video footage is so seamless. It’s surprising how well it produces results electronically. I’m such a big fan of this stabilization technology. It keeps its small form factor without needing a bulky gimbal to pack around. It just works.
The next feature, which is a big upgrade from the old Action Camera has a screen. A very large screen for that matter. Not only does it have a screen, but it also has a second screen in the front of the camera that you can switch to. Pretty ideal for vloggers and taking selfies, but there are tons of scenarios where that front screen will come in handy for you to monitor what’s in frame wherever you’re mounting this thing.
Listing some other features that I like, a variety of frame rates, this thing records up to 30fps at 4K and 120fps at 720P allowing you to do some incredible slow-motion video. With all of its capabilities, I can really see how people can find more opportunities to use a device like this.
Overall, the far camera has good quality. The battery life for video is better than other action cameras I have bought. I love this camera and it helps frame my video perfectly.
Excited to take this along on a trip. Have fun with this awesome piece of technology!
Great Value Camera for the price
The AKASO Brave 7 for about 155 on Amazon gives plenty of features.
You get a waterproof camera with up to 4K video (at 30 Frames per Sec) and still pictures up to 20M pixels.
It comes with 2 batteries, an external charger, a remote control and a host of mounts.
You do need your own mains USB adapter, but this is the same as used with mobile phones.
The camera has a back touch screen for control of the camera and the option to switch to a front screen if you are in selfie mode (but this is not a touch screen)
The remote control is great for taking video and photos when the camera is on a mount, for example on a bike or helmet.
You need to provide a MicroSD card to store the images, but a 64GByte size can be bought for about 10
There is a WiFi connection that can be used to connect to the AKASO GO App on an Android or Apple phone, which lets you control the camera and also download the images to the phone.
For transfer to a computer you can remove the card to a card reader or you can also connect the camera to the computer using the USB lead which lets you transfer directly and with the USB lead connected to the computer you can also use it as a WebCam.
There are lots of video features, including Time Lapse and Slow Motion. Make sure you read the instruction manual to find all the options.
Not had a chance to try the camera yet for water sports – needs warmer weather!
So overall a great value camera for the price, maybe not up to the quality of some of the major brand competition, but they can be three times the price!
Great value product with amazing features AAA
I love the product, it’s so easy to use, has a remote control & voice control, but especially the fact it’s waterproof & has sound. The sound play back isn’t great but don’t worry on your computer it’s great. Sound range isn’t as good as you’d expect with a camcorder but for the closer more intimate setting which I think this is for it’s perfect. It’s just great to have some sound for the water outdoor sports as a silent video has no atmosphere! Being waterproof means you can mount on your paddle board with not worries & capture the sound, pop it underwater to capture sights & sounds so excited!
Great bit of ki
Excellent build quality, great selection of extras, two batteries, easy to use, great footage but the best thing about it is the remote control.

Amazing camera
The features on it means that we can use the camera with ease compared with our previous action camera. The touch screen and voice control means that it is easier and quicker to use rather than clicking through each function or setting.
The main game changer is the camera is waterproof since our previous camera had a waterproof case which was fiddly. This camera is fully sealed (we did the glass of water test) and means we could handle it without care. We can clean any dirt with ease and not worry about the usb sockets etc.
The phone app is great since we previously had to load it to a laptop and meant we only transferred videos occasionally. This is no longer the case and means that we will use it more. The clarity of the recording is great and means when we transfer and zoom into pictures, the detail is still clear.
A brilliant new addition to the Akaso range!
This is a great new addition to the Akaso range. The camera is small but doesn’t feel fragile, it is easy to use and intuitive and the fact that it is waterproof without the need for a case, is game changer in terms of ease of use when at the beach.
The image stabilisation is great and overall picture quality is great as well.
I genuinely can’t fault this product and in my opinion is easily comparable to the much more expensive big brand names.
Well done Akaso, another great product.
akaso brave 7
i was really looking forward to getting this action cam, I wasn`t disappointed, its fantastic, video camera quality is brilliant, photo quality is brilliant, the only thing thats bad is the sound quality, as im not going to be using the audio its not an issue for me, im using it to record footage and do a voice over if needed, comes packaged well and the box is loaded with extras, they`ve thought of everything, slow mo, time lapse, waterproof, dash cam etc.
price is great, its definately worth buying.
