AKASO V50 Elite 4K60fps Touch Screen WiFi Action Camera Voice Control EIS 131 feet Waterproof Camera 8X Zoom Remote Control

This is my first camera of this type. I bike, kayak and off-road, so this camera will definitely come in handy. There was no way I was paying GoPro prices as I will only use the camera for personal use on a limited basis. My first impression of the camera is very positive. It has plenty of features and the image quality is very good, in bright light. The kit comes with a lot of good accessories. I already have a mini tri-pod for my webcam that I can use, but it would be nice if it came with a mini tripod. With the money saved buying this camera, there are plenty of options for accessories, including extra batteries. I purchased a 128 GB mini-SD card even though the manual lists 32 & 64 GB cards are compatible. The camera recognized it and formatted it without issue. The 128 GB card allows for about 4 hours of video at 4k30fps. The not so great - the camera is only so so in low light situations. I don't plan to use it often in those situations and I knew this before purchasing. So not a deal breaker. One issue that is a pain, on one kayaking trip where temps were in the upper 90s, the camera shutdown because it got too hot. Understandable, but the only way to get it to come back on after it cooled down was to remove the battery and miniSD card and hook up a USB cable with 5 Watts and 2 Amps power source. The camera came right on and I was able to reinstall the battery and miniSD card. Although also not a deal breaker, I need to remember to bring a portable charge that can charge at those specs in case the camera overheats again. All in all, it is a great buy. It was priced at $140, but has a $25 off coupon when I bought it. It's a really nice camera that really captures the great moments when our in nature.

its good for what you need it for. accessories are pretty limited to only akaso brand accessories. 3rd party accessories are very limited compared to DJI and GoPro. i have taken the camera underwater and on motorcycle here is what i learned. the app is horrible. it works when its on and you do nothing else on your phone. when you switch to another app or hit home to check messages perhaps the app will perhaps shut down the connection to the camera and you don't know this unless your looking at phone screen app or cam screen. this could devastatingly cut your recording at a critical time. i dont have power saver on or any app killers. its got free reign over my phone so i don't understand why it will just drop the connection. the camera could benefit from bluetooth input for a "viewless" but more seemless connection that doesn't use wifi. i don't use the app much honestly. its undependable unless i do literally nothing else except exclusively record. the accessories work great. no problems there. any add ons come in bundles though so you will have to spend money on the things you like with extras you didnt want. the battery life is meh. 12 minutes of a motorcycle ride drained a full battery on full 4k 60fps with a supported 4k memory card (this matters) by about 33 percent approximately. you can only see this on app. which also drains the battery faster with wifi on. so you get about perhaps 35 mins at full battery charge. you don't get any audio alerts to this on app or camera. you can connect a micro usb powerbank to it and record for longer or just buy more batteries. you get two batteries in the box so about an hour total of record time right out the box. the footage and pics look great. no concerns there. you will be happy with it UNLESS YOU WANT IT FOR NIGHT FOOTAGE. it is weak at night. even in night mode its hard to make anything out not for it being blurry but it being too dark. i could make out license plates at times but basically no building outlines in riding footage. this might be a deal breaker for you if you need nighttime footage. i will update if i find a particular setting that helps this but so far its pretty meh at night. for the price on an entry level action camera this works but leaves you wanting more. really depends on your needs. 4k at 60fps is hard to find at this price. if like me you want it for commuting to and from work on motorcycle and maybe an occasional outing this could be for you. for more professional use, some extra accessories and preparation could deal with its shortcomings.

Just got two of these in as they are cheap enough, I thought I'd give them a shot. I own 2 Yi 4k cameras as well as a gopro hero 7 black. Video - the 4k/60 and 4k/30, which are the only reasons I decided to purchase these, are pretty darn solid, good quality, certainly useable. Not quite up to par with the Yi 4k, but close enough. I'm satisfied as far as the video quality goes. Neither is quite up to par with the hero 7 but I wouldn't expect that. My main purpose for them was underwater use on a cruise we went on since they came with dive housings. They worked perfectly other than fogging up which, is disappointing, but it happens with all dive housings. Even with the inserts they still fogged up after about 30 minutes. I was highly impressed with the video quality regardless. Audio - This is the only reason I'm not rating this camera 5 stars. The audio is absolutely useless. The unit is only recording in mono for starters and not stereo. I've tried everything I can think of and cannot seem to find anything about tis issue online anywhere. The audio quality is nowhere close to useable either. The mics built into this thing are very cheap and have extremely thin sound. I suppose some of that could be contributed to the fact that only one mic is working, but without a fix for that, I have no way to tell. If anyone else has experienced this or has a fix, please let me know. Edit 1-10-19: So I contacted Akaso support and they determined that one of the cameras had a defective mic. I sent the camera and all of it's accessories back to them in the original box and they sent me a brand new one that I just received yesterday in the mail. Took a few weeks but all in all, not a bad experience. The cameras work out really nicely. The mics are very sensitive and don't do well in loud environments, but otherwise, are an excellent alternative to the uber-expensive GoPro's with most of the same features. All in all, the audio is decent but not pro-level which is more than acceptable at the price point and the video is far above what they could've settled on. My only other wish is that they would add more options for white balance and color temp along with iso and shutter speed.
