AKASO Brave 7 Action Camera, IPX8 Waterproof Underwater Camera Native 4K 20MP WiFi Cam with Touch Screen EIS 2.0 Zoom Support External Mic Voice Control Vlog Camera

Love this underwater camera wasn't the 1st one i tried as i tried a different brand first but wasn't happy with the quality. I'm glad i spent a bit more and bought the Brave 7, I recently filmed some Turtles and fish snorkling in Rarotonga (Cook islands) in 4k i have attached a greatly reduced quality video clip the original is much sharper and 4k. The things i really like is the image stabilisation is very good on a boat etc no blur and play back is pleasant to watch .i filmed everything in 4K then took pics from the stills which are good enough to print as normal size prints. the other thing i really like is that is the camera itself is rated to 10m without an outer case to make it waterproof so unlike the cased camera's it records sound.another thing i was really suprised and impressed with is it can record fish under water in focus and also do scenic distance video's above water that are also very clear and in focus. i didnt use it as a still camera just video so cannot comment on that aspect but would recommend i think its great value for money i use a 128Gb high speed card and a floating hand grip mount. Battery life was good and lasted well, I took the 2 charged batteries out with me and only had to change them once

I purchased the Akaso Brave 7 as an alternative to the costlier GoPro after having used a Gitup Git2 for 7 years. The Brave 7 is an easy to setup and use camera. After tinkering with the settings for 5 minutes, I mounted the camera on my car dash and went for a drive. Arriving home, I checked out the footage and I was pleased. Recording at 4K 30fps, I was very pleased with the daytime and late afternoon footage along with the early evening as things got darker. I was able to view number plates clearly in the footage under all these conditions. Some friends moved house recently, so I setup the camera in their new place and they moved in, unpacked and decorated the place. The timelapse footage was lovely and they loved the quality of the footage as it marked their special occasion. I also took the camera kayaking in a lake and submerged it for a while. Rain started pouring too and the camera remained functional and unaffected. I'm yet to do diving tests with the new housing I've purchased for it. Overall, I think this is a functional and robust piece of kit that does a lot of things for a very good price. Happy shooting!

I bought this action camera with the aim of using it to capture some videos of an upcoming vacation abroad. After trying it out over a couple of weeks, I elected to return it and spend a bit more money on a DJI Action Osmo 3 as I simply needed features that a "budget" camera could not offer. I did have an issue with the audio recorded with the built-in microphone when using the supplied remote control. The resulting audio was full of interference clicks when the remote was close to the camera (e.g. at bottom of a selfie-stick), which turned out to be a fault with my particular camera. After contacting Akaso support, I was sent a replacement camera which after testing did indeed confirm the fault was with the original unit supplied. My main issue with this camera is that the ability to download videos from the camera to Akaso's "Go" mobile editing app via Wifi is great, apart from the fact that this is limited to 1024 resolution max, so you CANNOT download over Wifi anything shot in 2K or 4K. Having to carry around cables and connect the camera to my computer I found inconvenient and would rather simply transfer videos over WiFi. This was the main reason I elected to return this camera and updrade to a bigger budget camera with more features. If you are looking for good image stabalization, fully featured video options etc., then you simply neeed to spend more money on something else. I guess you get what you pay for, but for me it had too many drawbacks for what I was looking for. If you just want a basic camera, then this camera is well built and works reasonably well. The camera is well built and has a good solid feel to it, Akaso's support service is excellent in my experience. I'm giving this a 5* rating based on two points:- 1. For the price, you get a good "basic" camera that provides almost everything you need on a budget. 2. Akaso's technical and customer support where very good and very quick to respond to questions.

The Good: the price of the device compared to what's out there in the market is really competitive, and I think this is the biggest advantage of the unit. Another advantage is that it also comes with a very generous pack of camera mounts and most importantly, A SPARE BATTERY! wow! The camera's built quality is very decent and on par with Insta360 RS 4K, GoPro (9) and DJI Osmo action 3. For just a fraction of the price. The image stabilization was perfectly fine for my application and the battery life was good. The Bad: the only thing that needs to be improved are 1- field of view and 2- video quality. Compared to any other action camera the field of view is very narrow, it is advertised as 170, but it's certainly not at least to me it is definitely not when I compare it against my DJI Action 2 that has 155 fov there is a massive difference and DJI has much more wider field of view. Specially when you turn the stabilization on the fov gets even smaller. The second issue is the video quality which I'm really sceptical if it is actually 4K, this is something that is hard to comment on, the resolution you get definitely says 4K but the video quality is not as good as other action cameras, I can't image that the 4k is recorded at a high bit rate! Maybe that's the issue. So going 4k gives me a video that is more comparable to my DJI Action 2 1080p. It's a descent video quality but it's not 4K for me. Finally, I noticed, when creating a new file it looses a little bit of the footage, although it's not a consistent thing and seem to happen sometimes when switches to a new file. Hopefully once some of these issues are fixed it would replace the GoPro thanks to it's competitive price.

Exactly as expected, happy with a video quality, have not tested in water yet.

You get what you pay for. This is what they say. This is not a big name camera costing £00s, but it is a bloody good set for the price. The camera is *small* and lightweight, but feels sturdy. I want a camera that I can mistreat a bit an expect it to be still plugging away, I don't really need 4K HDR video, so I think this fits my requirements. The set comes with many many add-ons for attaching the camera to things. I'm not sure that I'll even use a fraction of them, but they are there and are great to have in hand. Two batteries are great, although the charger is a bit basic. Photos and video seem reasonable quality, I don't see much motion blur or pixilation on the outputs. Colour reproduction seems fairly reasonable, I think it varies dependant upon the lighting conditions. There is an app associated with the camera that allows us to remotely access it, and this seems to work reasonably well. If I have a niggle, it would be that the case is not very flexible for the actual equipment I want to carry rather than the equipment supplied, but if ASAKO could guess what I wanted to take with me I suspect I should worry. This is getting all of the stars because it works for me, based on value rather than raw performance, but I'm happy to recommend this for anyone who is willing to caveat their expectations.

I bought the brave 7 after carefully studying the market & it seems to suit my needs perfectly . 2 batteries was a factor in my purchase. Will edit review when camera hs been put through its paces . 5 stars on packaging, quality of build & value for money

After searching for an action camera for our first family holiday, i decided to go with this one due to the reviews and the fact it said it was waterproof IPX8 waterproof to 10m without a case, as we had a trip planned to a waterpark. The camera work great for the first 2 day, and was impressed with the images and video quality. On the second day we use it in the hotel pool which was 1.2m deep. We got some great footage of the kids. On the third day we went back to the pool, as i took the camera out i noticed moisture in the lensed and the LCD screen. The camera turned on for a few minutes, then went off with a fully charged battery. When i went to remove the battery there was water all over the battery and in the compartment. I removed the lense, battery and SIM card and left the camera to see if it would dry out. The next day, i put them all back in but this time it wouldnt switch on at all, and the moisture inside seemed alot more visible. I contacted customer services over the issue, whose reply was to leave it in a tub of white rice first to see if it would dry out. We were absolutely devastated as we only got to use it for 2 days, and didn`t get to take it to the waterpark. I just only hope i can recover the images and footage from the first 2 days.

Xiaomi 1. Nesil action kameram vardı dalış icin kullanıyordum, arastirma sonucu fiyat performans olarak ve yaninda verilen ekipmanlar 10 m suya dayanikli olmasi ve cift ekran beni cezbetmisti. İyiki almisim. Cok memnun kaldim, deniz altındaki görüntü kalitesi muhtesem, ve cok kullanisli bir kamera

De maravilla. Me llegó en menos de 24 horas. Además de la calidad del dispositivo el empaque es maravilloso ya que usa una funda amplia y cómoda para transportarla. Además muy reforzada. Complementos necesario para casi cualquier uso. Solo falta probarla definitivamente aunque no tiene mala pinta, incluso al instalarse la app y viendo el contenido de otros compañeros

Ho acquistato la Akaso Brave 7 la scorsa estate in vista di una vacanza al mare e di un viaggio in Canada. Mi incuriosiva soprattutto la possibilità di fare riprese sott'acqua e video di viaggio. Non ho esperienza con altre action cam, ma questa l'ho trovata fantastica. PRO: 1) facilissima da utilizzare. Ho imparato ad impostare le funzioni principali molto rapidamente anche se sono una principiante; è semplicissimo anche utilizzare la app sullo smartphone per condividere le immagini. 2) la qualità dei video è buona, sia per quanto riguarda la stabilizzazione sia per la definizione. Sott'acqua le riprese sono ottime ed è un gran vantaggio non dover montare una custodia prima di immergersi. 3) comandi vocali molto efficienti: l'ho montata con l'apposito supporto (acquistato a parte) sul parabrezza dell'auto durante il mio viaggio ed era comodissimo avviare e chiudere le registrazioni mentre guidavo. 4) rapporto qualità/prezzo: sono molto soddisfatta della qualità ottenuta a fronte della cifra che ho speso. Essendo la mia prima esperienza con action cam, non volevo spendere cifre elevate, ma nemmeno comprare una camera di scarsa qualità. Anche leggendo altri commenti, credo che questa Brave 7 abbia pochi rivali. CONTRO: 1) in effetti l'audio è un po' scarso, anche con pochi rumori di sottofondo. A me interessavano soprattutto le immagini che ho poi montato con musica, quindi non è stato un gran problema. 2) se si esaurisce la batteria, al successivo riavvio si perdono le impostazioni quindi mi è capitato di fare alcuni video senza stabilizzazione. Niente che non si possa rimediare e magari sono io che non so settare impostazioni di default. In conclusione: consiglio molto questa action cam anche a chi, come me, è alla sua prima esperienza.

Es muy fácil de usar, cómoda, ocupa poco y con enganche standard lo cual facilita el poder usarla en muchos adaptores diferentes. La conexión vía Wifi y la vinculación con la APP móvil en android e iOS es sencilla y desde la App puedes configurar las características de la cámara de forma sencilla. Tiene estabilización de movimiento de la grabación.

Ich bewerte hier die Action Cam Akaso Brave 7. Die Kamera wurde schnell geliefert und war ordentlich verpackt. Ich hatte von Anfang an, sowohl beim Filmen als auch beim Fotografieren, "HDR" aktiviert (High Dynamik Range), da solche Bilder die Kontrastunterschiede bei Aufnahmen mit sehr hellen und sehr dunklen (schattigen) Anteilen ausgleichen soll. Das sah bei sonnigem Wetter auch ganz gut aus. Allerdings bewirkt HDR bei dieser Kamera, dass sehr schnell ein Bildrauschen einsetzt. Der Tipp: HDR unbedingt ausgeschaltet lassen, die Kamera macht bei Sonnenschein sehr gute Bilder und in der Dämmerung auch. Lediglich beim Fahren durch Waldgebiete wirken die ansonsten klar gezeichneten Bäume verwaschen. Wie bei Akaso üblich ist sehr viel Zubehör dabei, sehr gut. Überhaupt wirkt die Kamera sehr stabil und ordentlich verarbeitet. Die schwer zu öffnende Batterieklappe der 4er ist durch einen kleinen Schieber ersetzt, womit das Öffnen und Schließen des Batteriefachs und des Faches für die micro-SD-Karte und dem USB-C Anschluss viel leichter wird. Ein wenig drücken muss man schon, was der Tatsache geschuldet ist, dass die Kamera spritzwassergeschützt ist, angeblich sogar bis 10m Wassertiefe dicht halten soll. Deshalb ist auch kein wasserdichtes Gehäuse dabei, sondern nur ein Kamerarahmen. In diesem sitzt die Kamera ganz hervorragend. Die Rahmenstruktur ist absolut genial durchdacht, man kommt sogar noch an die Klappe für die SD-Karte und den USB-C Anschluss heran. Was sicher sehr vorteilhaft ist, wenn man z.B. Zeitrafferaufnahmen machen möchte und die Kamera über USB-C mit Strom versorgen möchte. Die Regendichtheit gefällt mir sehr gut, da ich auf meinem Youtube-Kanal (Peter Petersen Fahrradwohnwagen) auch mal während Regenfahrten filmen möchte, was mit meiner Sony RX100 iii nicht geht. Die Kamera verfügt über einen Digitalzoom, der leider schnell zu verwaschenen und pixeligen Aufnahmen führt. Sehr gut finde ich den Objektivdeckel, den man entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn nach ca. 1/4 Drehung entfernen und somit austauschen kann. Kratzer auf dem Objektiv sind also kein Thema mehr in Zukunft (falls man denn Ersatz bekommt). Wirklich sehr hilfreich ist das zweite Display an der Frontseite. Es gibt genügend Situationen, in denen man den Aufnahmebereich besser von schräg vorne kontrollieren kann, z.B. in engen Räumen wie meinem Fahrradwohnwagen, aber auch in Autos, im Zelt, beim Selfie auf dem Fahrrad o.ä. Und natürlich bei Selfie-Aufnahmen. Gut ist auch, dass im Aufnahmemodus oben eine blaue LED blinkt, so weiß man immer, dass man gerade aufnimmt. Die rote LED zeigt das Laden an. Was sehr gut ist: man kann lange filmen, z.B. im Zeitraffermodus, und die Kamera gleichzeitig mit einer Powerbank mit Strom versorgen bzw. die Batterie laden. Aus meiner Sicht ist das eingebaute Mikrofon qualitativ sehr gut. Ein deutlicher Lautstärkeunterschied ist festzustellen, wenn die "Windgeräuschreduktion" abgeschaltet ist. Dann nimmt das Mikrofon wirklich laut, klar und mit Tiefen auf, während der Klang mit eingeschalteter Windgeräuschreduktion sehr leise und dünn wird, die Windgeräusche aber trotzdem noch hörbar sind. Das Mikrofon funktioniert sogar sehr gut, wenn die Kamera im Rahmen steckt, obwohl dann nur ein kleines Loch im Rahmen den Schall durchlässt. Ich habe keine Veränderung registriert ob mit oder ohne Rahmen. Sehr gut finde ich, dass man an den USB-C-Anschluss ein externes Mikrofon anschließen kann. Die Bildstabilisierung ist deutlich besser als bei der Brave 4. Sicher nicht auf dem Niveau einer mindestens doppelt so teuren ActionCam, aber doch absolut brauchbar. Das Gehen wird gut ausgeglichen, auch beim Fahren funktioniert das sehr gut. Wer das sanfte Bewegen der Kamera noch unterstützen möchte, hängt sich beim Gehen oder Filmen ein ultraleichtes Stativ an die Kamera, somit werden Bewegungen noch mehr ausgeglichen. Kritik: Die Menüführung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Eigentlich ist sie sehr intuitiv aufgebaut, man findet schon alles nötige recht schnell. Aber warum welche Funktion im Menü mit dem Zahnrad erscheint und welche im Kamera-Menü, erschließt sich oft nicht. Dazu gehört auch, dass man z.B. die Zeitrafferfunktion über das Wischmenü am Bildschirm aktiviert, aber sich für die Einstellung des Intervalls durch das Menü tippen muss. Im Menü selbst kann die Zeitrafferfunktion auch nicht wieder abgestellt werden, dass geht nur über das Wischmenü. Die Logik ist anscheinend so gedacht, dass man im Rädchen-Menü die Details einstellt, wie z.B. die Zeitverzögerung bei Zeitrafferaufnahmen und dass man im Wischmenü die Zeitrafferfunktion an - bzw. abstellt. Der eingebaute Lautsprecher erzeugt keinen "Klang", allenfalls "Geräusche". Wenn man die Lautstärke des eingebauten Lautsprechers auf 100% setzt, wird die Stimme arg übersteuert wiedergegeben. Ich habe ihn auf 65% eingestellt, dann ist der Ton zwar sehr leise, aber die Sprache übersteuert nicht mehr so stark und man hört zumindest, ob der Ton aufgenommen wurde. Wünsche: 1. Ganz großartig fände ich einen optischen Zoom, und wenn er nur 3x ist. Dazu könnte der vordere Ring am Objektiv dienen, das wäre richtig old-school und richtig gut fürs Filmen. 2. Toll wäre eine Makro-Funktion für Blumen, Insekten etc.
