    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe Akaso Brave 7 LE is a great, well built, rugged 4K action camera that comes with a host of accessories so that it can be attached to almost anything and as well as having a sturdy waterproof case.
    I bought it as I wanted to easily shoot some footage while doing a course in film editing (Adobe Premiere Pro) and not wanting to heft loads of camera equipment around. The settings are simple to use, as is the touch screen and I guess the front screen is great for bloggers.
    I have attached it to my mountain bike cycling in the forest, to my lurcher running wild and mounted it on a monopod and walked around with it — the image stabilisation is pretty good although I guess you would need a gimble if you wanted perfectly smooth footage, but for moving image and dynamic shots it works a treat. The spare battery is handy as two batteries will allow you to fill a 64GB memory card.
    The Akaso Brave 7 LE’s compactness and quality build means its great just to have with you whenever you are out to catch those special moments or out of the ordinary events far better than you can on a phone.

    Camera is used skydiving and giving coaching feedback so the image stabilisation is vital. The front screen is useful to ensure the right framing is set up before exit. I’ve also used it for scuba diving with the waterproof case getting excellent video and good underwater sound capture. It’s been a great little purchase

    I like the instructions, they cover everything including how to use the remote. I also like how the control and menus work. The quality on the videos I’ve taken whilst walking my dog are really good. Have to say though I’m not keen on the front screen can’t see a use for that but that is my only negative comment and it’s just my view. I use it to take videos of my dog when we are out walking.

    I wanted to upgrade from my basic action camera but still didn’t feel I could justify the cost of the mainstream brand.

    I saw this, watched some reviews and thought it must be too good to be true for the money (but then that would have meant all of the reviews were wrong.)

    I decided to give it ago and see for myself and I wasn’t disappointed. Simple to use and navigate.

    Build quality is excellent, accessories galore and comes with two batteries and a charger.

    Image and video quality is fantastic compared to what I was used to and for someone who just wants to record and enjoy holiday trips and days out, this provides excellent footage. The main test will be when we go on our regular safari game drive holiday early next year and it’s mounted to our car over rough terrain – an added benefit is that I don’t need to worry about the chance of rain and putting it inside it’s case.

    I’m yet to try out the waterproof capacity without the case when swimming but to be honest, I’d probably use the case anyway for that added protection.

    A word of advice though – don’t make the mistake I made initially. I watched some footage back on the camera and was dissatisfied with the sound and video quality. Once you view/download onto your phone, tablet or computer etc, all your worries will go away. Obviously the speaker and screen on the camera can only do so much.

    I don’t know how Akaso have packed so much into something so small and kept the price down. Whilst those more professional than me may see the difference against top end models, 99% of people like me will just love this.

    I like the compact size as it is very easy to carry around when I’m out and about. I tend to use the camera for nature shots and the video function for green screen compositing as the super wide choice is very useful when I have limited space.

    Picture and video quality are amazing

    Why pay more for GoPro when the Akaso does almost everything it does. The only difference I found was that you have to switch manually between the rear and front screen where on GoPro you don’t. If Akaso fixed this small glitch GoPro would have a serious contender to deal with.
    Amazing little piece of kit with an array of accessories included. Bravo Akaso

    bought this for a holiday that would involve lots of water play – very happy with picture quality and mic was better than I expected after reviews. Only one thing which was irritating was that pressing the remote with the underwater camera casing on, meant sometimes videos didn’t start to record and we lost some action 🙁
    I wasn’t expecting amazing things but have been presently surprised!

    I have just booked a holiday to Thailand and want to record my time and experiences in the crystal clear waters and amazing scenery – so what better way than to buy an adventure camera?
    Having owned four GoPros before, I thought I’d try a camera which was offered one-third of the price but had the same spec and most other features – hence the AKASO Brave 7 LE Action Camera. Initial unpacking was very similar to previous cameras – but with two batteries to start and a bunch of accessories thrown in. I did get a bit confused as the camera comes mounted on the box with what looks like a very useful flat surface mount 0 but appears to be permanently connected to the packaging.
    All in all – first impressions are very good, and only time will tell if it can live up to the water and sand of a tropical beach!

    I was so happy to use this for my first trip in Greece to take a good video of turtle and other water subjects. The camera was working very well and as it is a waterproof item, I did not worry at all while I was using in the water. Although, I was using the camera in water with the protective cover (which come with the product), and it gives a really good photoshops and videos that I was thinking of filming. It gives a dreamy aura and it also gives a clear photos and video shoot.

    Great quality, Value of money and

    Did a lot of research. Found that feedback on the Brave 7 was poor regarding microphone which I was sad about as I like the larger memory. Looked at the se and was cheaper and for what I need seems to tick all boxes. Looking forward to seeing how it copes on a run on a selfie stick.
    So far feels very good in hand, solid unit, great packing and accessories

    Great device for price paid.

    I had a previous version from Akaso and really liked it but didn’t like the fact that it went in a case to make it waterproof. This one is waterproof without the case unless you want to go really deep. For me as a canoeist it is great as it works well with the remote control.
    That brings me to my first gripe. I wish the remote control was waterproof. I have to put it in a clear dry bag to solve that problem.
    My second gripe is that you can’t tell if it’s recording when the lens is facing you. The screen on the front is good and there is a little icon that shows it’s recording. But the previous model had a red flashing light that could be seen from further away both above and the front. I miss that.

    However if that’s all I have to complain about it means it’s a really good bit of kit.

    I would consider buying another one.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI chose Akaso simply because of the price difference between it and the market leading Go-Pro devices, and having seen the images it produces I’m not sure why Go-Pro is so expensive.

    I chose this camera because I wanted 4k and the ability to invert the image as the camera is attached underneath the port wing of a QuikR microlight, others in the Akaso range do not have the option to be upside down, or if they do they don’t do 4k30fps.

    Recording at 4k30fps with high quality each 4Gb file was 10 minutes of video. With a 64Gb file that means you would get 64/4 = 16 video files at 10 minutes each = 160 minutes or 2 hours 40. Depending on how efficiently it uses the card you may lose a little of that so maybe 2 hours 10?

    The attached image of the aircraft landing was taken from live video recording 4k30fps without image stabilisation and the aircraft would have been moving at about 45mph; I took the image by exporting it from the video using iMovie on a MacBook. As you would expect detail is lost on the background as it is moving past at in excess of 60 feet per second and the camera is only operating at 30fps (so I may try 1080P120fps next time), but the plane in the foreground is detailed; the day itself was only about 7k visibility and overcast so the sky looks murky because it was!

    Looking at the photo I’ll try image stabilisation next time as you can see movement on my passenger’s leg, and as the wing is also flexing slightly there is a slight blur on other aspects of the plane. I have noticed images are better on brighter days and this was very dull and it rained only minutes later.

    Comparing it with my previous HD camera the image is a step up in quality, and given the tough operating conditions of being on a wing doing at times 90mph exposed to the elements I’m impressed with the camera.

    Excellent little camera that produces great images in 4k

    I’m being honest this cmara it’s really good, quality without the case it’s , it’s waterproof without the case so you don’t need to worry about using the case. I recommend this product if you use it like a dash cam or sport camera 9/10.
    Only thing it’s that with the case the quality reduce not big difference but less quality.

    I bought this camera for our holiday. I was supposed to go for a Gopro but changed my mind due to the price. Overall it is excellent.
    Unboxing it comes with a whole range of extras such as a spare battery – waterproof case, mounts for different activities.
    I was drawn to it due to the dual screens. This makes it easy for blogging.
    Image quality is excellent in good lighting. when the lighting is poor not so good – so bear that in mind.
    I read that the sound does not work with the case on, but we did not find this. We got good sound quality even with the case on.
    Image stabilisation seems good although I have not baseline comparison.
    Overall for the price it is excellent and having the accessories and bits makes it an excellent buy

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is a very good entry-level action camera with the look and feel of a GoPro but at a much more affordable price point. The camera has a very wide range of image settings and the front-facing screen screen is a real bonus at this price. The only negative for me is the poor quality microphone and there being no option to connect to an external mic. hence the 4-star review.

    Was very disappointed with this action cam. I wanted to use it for filming walking trips out and about, the first issue was the battery life, it lasted about 20 mins per battery and that was short bursts of video. I also found that you cannot zoom in while the camera is recording which is something that would be needed if filming mountains etc.
    UPDATE: The customer service from Akaso themselves has been exceptional (especially Jessica). They really could not have done more to improve my user experience with them. I would happily give a 5* for the customer service.
