This camera offers excellent value for the price. The video quality is clear, setup is straightforward, and it comes with a lot of useful accessories. It’s easy to use and works well for recording trips, outdoor activities, and everyday moments. A solid alternative if you want an action camera without spending a lot. Read more

1) Good heavens there are SO MANY ACCESSORIES! I love it but also.. how am I going to carry all this around?! I'm going to need to buy a case, because this doesn't come with one. 2) There are features in my menu that I don't see in the online manual or in YouTube videos from others. Well, just ONE specific feature that I've noticed so far: there isn't a single "timelapse" menu option which was apparently the camera taking a single photo ever x amount of seconds. The issue as a YouTuber mentioned, is that the camera doesn't stitch those photos together automatically like on a GoPro. You have to stitch the photos yourself on the computer. But I guess that's why AKASO added a NEW timelapse option... Video time lapse! This does in fact result in a video (mp4 file) that is a timelapse fast movie. Yay! On the screen, when in VIDEO timelapse, you'll first see 00:00 and it will update for every 1 second of video you'll have after it's all stitched together. 3) Picture quality: from the screen it looks like my car dashcam. Not great. Even though I'm on 4K it looks like a bad quality version of 4K. But that's the tiny screen. Maybe the tiny screen just doesn't have great resolution. When viewing the videos and pictures on the computer... eh, it's alright, but don't think you'll be recording a Hollywood level movie. In semi-good light it already started to struggle. This works best in bright light and then very quickly takes a dip in quality when it starts getting darker. But still useable! The video noise can be decreased with noise reduction software. 4) Micro SD card is very difficult to get in. It needs that last tiny little bit of a push that's super difficult. I need to press the edge of my nail against the thin edge of the Micro SD card and most times I'm slipping off it. I'm using a wooden toothpick that has been the most helpful. But it shouldn't be THAT hard to get the Micro SD card in. I use a Micro SD card in my drone and it's nowhere near as difficult to fully insert. 4.1) Speaking of Micro SD cards, I know people have mixed results using cards larger than the recommended 32GB. I'm using a "Gigastone 128GB V30 Micro SDXC U3 Class 10 I" and so far it's worked with everything I've tried. Maybe the mixed results are because some people are using older firmware on the camera or maybe certain brands of MicroSD cards above 32GB just don't work. 5) It was annoying at first having the power button also be the menu button, but you get used to it FAST and I like that they've kept it simple - less to break. It's a bit annoying that every time I want to get to settings I have to cycle through all the video/photo modes first, but again it's a small price to pay for the low cost of the device and the fact that there is less that can break down. Also, how often would I even be in the menu? I've set it to what I want to use for most all my videos, no need to keep changing it. (Unless the date/time resets when battery dies?! That I don't actually know yet!) It's not the best camera in the world compared to all other action cameras, but at it's price point it's fantastic. And really, in the action camera world, you're not looking to get Alexa/Red quality footage anyway. It's MUCH MUCH MUCH closer to the quality of a GoPro than a a GoPro is compared to a cinema camera. And with a little tweaking in your video editing software, it'll look even better. For a fraction of the cost of a GoPro. At this point I think you just pay for the GoPro name. This is a great camera if you do a little client work and need time lapse footage of something being built or torn down. Or if you like recording your sports adventures. Very happy with this after 1 day (Fingers crossed for the other days!) Read more

I had my doubts being so cheap, bit this camera is amazing, set ut to 1080p/60 . I bought it for me and my boys to record atv trips , 70mph threw the woods video looks great, better than expected. My only complaints are battery life is about 45 mins and when using the remote you don't know if its recording or not so you have to keep track in your head. I messed up tonight and didn't record when I should of been and record when I shouldn't of been, other than that it's great I bought two of them, and people saying the USB card isn't formatted their is a setting under the menu that says format and then it works Read more

For the cost of this Canada it was well worth it. The video quality has been great. Customer service has been amazing. They responded back to me immediately about a replacement battery. The cámara is very durable and came with many accessories that come in handy. It’s very user friendly and anyone at any age can function this camara easily. The under water accessories are awesome. We have enjoyed this camara most definitely. I would not buy a go pro when this works just as great. The only 1 star on my review would be the app for this camara. The app needs major improvements and is not user friendly at all. One feature I absolutely dislike is how the downloading of videos takes place. Your device has to remain on the app download page at all times or the download will stop. So if I want to use my phone to browse on the internet or text message friends back I can not do that at the same time while in download mode in this app. So this causes extra time in my day lost because I’m waiting on the downloads. So I recommend an entire different device to download and save your videos on. If the app was better I would give that a 5 star, as of now the app is most definitely a 1 star. The camara is a 5 star, accessories are a 10 star. Read more

A budget action cam with great features. I most like the stabilization as I will be using it to record driving on rough trails. The App works well. A large number of accessories are in bundle, such as bicycle handlebar mount. Over all a good little camera for a modest price. Read more
