$99 Akaso V50X vs $299 GoPro8!

I got my v50x a few weeks ago and the microphone is pretty good! At first I played back a video on the camera itself and the sound was horrible, but I realized it's the speaker NOT the microphone. Playing videos back on my computer proved the microphone works pretty well and I DIDN'T have to turn the volume up much on the computer to hear everything. It doesn't do very good in lower light. One cool thing is it takes the same batteries as my 11-year-old sj4000. Everything else is spot on just like you said. Pretty impressive for only $115!

[@StefanShift]

you can easily "fix" the natural colors with some video editing

You did not mention the possibility to add an external microphone to the Akaso v50X.

[@crystalcactuis.w]

True

[@ubidubiumibilibertas9076]

Does not work because sounds the same, it is just a waste of money.

[@dadverb]

Overall, I'm happy that I just added the Hero8 to my arsenal. That stabilization is amazing, but I wish they had a better system for getting the microSD in and out. I always have to take the battery out and pop the door off. I love how the Osmo Action set theirs up. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it.

[@AuthenTech]

Haha, yea that micro sd slot is a bit jank! Fantastic EIS tho

[@leamas1820]

In my opinion Akaso loses significantly only in two categories- audio and not being able to use distortion correction and EIS at the same time. Obviously biggest factor in choice is what you want to use it for. My only advice to people would be to adopt approach which I've learned from NASA - "Equipment doesn't have to be the best in it's category, it has to be good enough to do the job". After all after 2 , max 3 years from release it will be considered inferior and there's no point to spend lots of money for the one which is currently the best.

[@clmfilms8103]

Just ordered the v50x for snowboarding and mountain biking for KZbin. I really didn't want to spend the money on a gopro, I would rather put it towards whatever dji comes out with next lol. For the price, the v50x looks amazing, I can't believe the video quality looks almost as good as the gopro for a third of the price. Definitely good enough video quality for KZbin and personal use. Thanks for this video, its probably the best out there for this camera👍

[@alp3781]

I love my Akaso. No regrets. Super value for the money. The stabelizer is fantastic. I use it on my motorcycle. Mic could be better. Why to spend 3 times more ????

[@MDCCCXLI]

Does it do well on very bumpy roads while riding?

[@alp3781]

@@MDCCCXLI EIS works well on high shakes. No complains at all. Look, if your ride is extremally aggressive off road, then you might see a bit distortion. But, for the price, you can't beat it. I am looking to order the new 8 coming out. You should see it on 4K TV. super clarity.

[@pedroandrade2398]

The audio seems a bit poor, no?

[@alp3781]

@ Yes, not the greatest.

[@kristisirlin8867]

I've been watching many of your comparison videos, basically, GoPro Vs. the world. Where every camera looses me, is with the Audio. It seems like no other company cares are audio quality. So, Looks like a GoPro it is. Thanks for your time in doing all these videos. This is my first action camera, and I think the GoPro 8 fist the bill for me.

[@ihedgehog]

This was a great comparison! I was looking for alternatives to GoPro for Christmas and I just realized that you are filming in Huntsville Alabama which is where I lived last year. One thing I noticed was the red dirt on the v50x doesn't look anything like what the real dirt looks like. The GoPro does a much better job on the color but for my purposes I don't think it is worth the extra money.

[@RobVI]

I ordered the v50x to use to record basketball footage along with other sports as well as drumming footage, this video helped me make the decision

[@gzappa]

Was the Akaso used in a plastic outer case? If not, the sound is a real fail. I have a much cheaper Akaso EK7000 with much better sound than that.

[@kkitzhaber]

Got the Akaso v50x. Better bang for the buck. Use it for biking, mostly on the road. Bonus: More accessories.

[@epcalderhead]

I have a V50X with firmware 20210928-V3.0 (purchased November 2021) which Akaso said is the latest. Sound is actually pretty decent and usable compared to older reviews. Using this camera to record Tesla FSD Beta videos. Videos on my channel on Nov 23, 2021 or later should have sound out of the camera mixed with VO's depending on the video. For $100 this camera is a steal considering the image quality. I appreciate its ability to record in low light.

[@robhadventures6073]

Im waiting for Akaso to make a external mic with better sound quality .when ?

[@Phrancis5]

No doubt the GoPro is better, but at 1/3rd the price, knockoff Akaso or Campark action cams are hard to ignore for casual users. Not needing a waterproof case and the Hyper-smooth is really appealing for my needs, but I could totally live with the Akaso and just bump up the contrast, saturation, and maybe even use Premier's warp stabilization in post...

[@JiuJitsuColorado]

I have a Hero 3+ and looking to upgrade to something more current. I am using it for filming Jeep trails, family vacations and general activities. What would you suggest?

[@Melo5684]

Hi Ben, the akaso can be used as PC webcam via USB cable? I d like to use it as webcam in obs for streaming, many chinese action have this function but the quality lacks. This V50 Is great

[@arjan8506]

Also the hero 8 can be used as a webcam =)

[@dewalddewaal88]

I did not watch you for a while now i do again and love the content❤

[@ricardorosa9222]

Comparing a GoPro 8 with an Akaso is slutty, lol... But I understand the reason, that is, it's to show that with a cheaper camera you can get excellent results, in my case it's great, I don't care about the sound , because I will edit in Adobe Premiere and insert music, if necessary I bought the external mic from Akaso to break a branch, as for the colors and sharpness I will also edit them in Adobe Premiere's Lumetri, that is, for me what matters is the stabilization, because I will use a lot on mountain bike, thanks for the great review ;) Brasil-SP

[@sergeyfomin3869]

Thank's for comparessing- it was very interesting to see!

[@havenhemmings3574]

My Akaso vx50 looks just like my Gopro Hero 4 on 4k and 1080 until you get in low light. But my Gopro cost $350 and doesn't even have an Led screen (4 years old). But it is a tough camera. I almost bought the Akaso 7000 but went with the V50 because it had real 4k. The Akaso battery life has so far been excellent. The vx50 was $100 on Amazon.

[@armandoveloz5644]

So I see that you can put on an external micro. Is that so and if so any good

[@xandygameryt]

Does anyone has it to answer me some questions? It would help a lot. Is this camera now more stable and good to record videos? I saw a few months ago it had a lot of recording and desync problems, also the audio was really bad. Is it good to be used today as a vlogging camera with an external mic, can I use other microphones instead the one wich comes with the V50X? Thanks

[@ThriftyAV]

The Akaso V50X is basically the same thing as my Campark V30. I have been very happy with the Campark, but I would still like a Hero 8, just have to save my pennies!

[@jdfishing2572]

Just got the v50x for recording videos of me fishing still waiting for the sd to come can’t wait to check it out

[@dingr]

The giveaway was the occasionally jerky EIS of the Akaso. And also the narrower FOV with EIS turned on.

[@louis840]

Hi Ben, what do you think about the shooting quality of the Akaso V50x at 1080p (30fps). I really agree with you about the super goof quality of the Akaso at 4k30fps but I find that this quality takes a big deep at 1080p ... ?

[@JustBuildItBetter]

definition of right into it. pls keep going

[@clmfilms8103]

I have a question about my akaso v50x. I am trying to take a night time-lapse, but I have a problem. I changed the exposure time to 5 seconds (under the photo settings) so that there would be enough light getting to the sensor in the dark environment. I tried taking a few photos and they turned out really good, but when I tried to take a time-lapse, it just used the auto exposure settings so the entire time-lapse turned out way to dark because the sensor was not getting enough light. I am able to change the settings for photos, but when I take a time-lapse it doesn't use my photo settings. (just to confirm, I am doing the photo time-lapse, not the video time-lapse) and ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@thehikingshibas6069]

Great video, helping me still in my search for the right setup for my application. I walk dogs in packs and i think an action camera would be awesome way to capture this experience. I’m still having a tough time deciding if i want an action camera or 360 camera. My Budget is probably gonna steer me towards an action cam but i think Dog pack walking with an 360 camera has just got to be insane. Thanks again for another awesome video and if you have a suggestion or pony me towards a good starter kit for a budget of a $1000 that would be awesome. Thanks so much. I think drone like videos from an action camera with an invisible selfie stick would just be stunning options for sending videos to our clients for their pups sessions.

[@xXadambXx]

for 99$ ... wow it is really impresive, most of cams in this price tag hasn't real 4k

[@MrCacciLLo]

Does the AKASO has any setting that could make the color more vibrant and a warmer color temperature? maybe it has settings for that, and that way the image could be closer to the GoPro

I think a really good test would be the color grading of each action camera. That would be the ultimate test to see at what point does each image/video break and how far can we push the dynamic range. Just a thought!

Thanks for sharing your idea. The reason I don't run those tests, I'm trying to aim my videos toward the average user, and I don't think the average is doing much color grading

Great video I think you should make a video showing how the audio on the Gopro 8 is out of sync with the video...11 frames to be exact. Try using voice command (GoPro start recording) on 4 clips, the first clip is fine when you get to clip 4 it looks like a badly dubbed Kung Fu movie. 👍
