[@lilpeasnoop353]

Thank you for making this! I was thing about buying one for making fishing videos, but I just wasn't sure about the quality. But this really helped so thank you!

[@Jeff7675467]

Excellent unboxing and comparison video. I also liked how you checked the various settings (like 60 hz for USA frequency; and the difference between the gyroscope (video) and stabilization (photos).

[@lesliesteadman9134]

Thank you for this video!!!!! I was scared to touch it! This was very helpful and appreciated!

[@metalthunder1269]

I really enjoyed the video. I just received my camera today and wanted to get some input on how to use it before trying it out. I learned a lot and am not as overwhelmed as I was. Thank you.

[@elleseculare390]

Amazing review! Thank you very helpful

[@erdenebatn]

Thanks for the video, good stuff. I have watched the video since I bought brave 4K. I like it. Thanks again

[@pjcardone164]

I have viewed several videos on the brave 4……And yours is by far the most thorough! I really enjoyed it …. it was helpful. I have never used a device like this as I usually just take my digital cameras. There’s something about this that intrigued me so I’m giving it a try.Thank you

[@Crosa-1]

thanks for the review bro i actually buy this action cam today because of your videos hehehe thanks

[@davidwillis5016]

Good video thank you, I appreciate the information going to order one right now

[@Thebro6363]

this vid was SUPER helpful thank you

[@forensicbiblestudieswithje7477]

Watched a dozen videos on the Brave 4. Your was absolutely the best. Very helpful. Will be diving in Roatan in a few days hopefully with Whale Sharks .... not known for giving you a second shot at filming them, so it all has to come together. Thanks you!

[@taozoldman2157]

thank a lot ! i just brought this Akaso Brave 4 4K

[@RollWithSoul317]

Thank you for the very informative, detailed and helpful review! I picked up the EK 7000 last week and will be going for the Bravo 7 very soon! It’s great to know that I don’t have to shell out hundreds $$$ for a Go Pro! 🎥👍🏾

[@motogpvlog922]

Just bought my new akaso brave 4 .i haven't opened it yet for my unboxing vlog...i hope it would work well as i will use it tomorrow.but as i watched your very thorough review and comparison i believe i'm not gonna have problems with it..good work sir..

Nice instructional video bro 😷👍🏻😎 thanks 🙏

[@joshuasjams1207]

I’m looking for an action camera to record four wheeling in the woods to put on KZbin and this video helped me a lot.

[@bryanwhitefoot123sorting]

Videos like these are so informing...got a love m..

[@johnandbrendabrand8008]

Thanks for the great review! I think your old camera has a better picture. I'm disappointed I bought the Brave 4. I wish some of the questions people asked here were answered- they're good questions. This is my first "GoPro" type camera.

[@Shelties2]

you have done a good video im going to buy one

[@kristilopez6075]

Thanks just bought our 5 year old the brave 4 that he asked for from Santa. I think he will like it.

[@splender88]

Thanks for this video very easy to understand and the comparison makes it an easier choice. Looks to me as though the 7000 has a better pic IMO!

[@ashlandoriginals]

the best video on this camera, thx :)

[@bvkronenberg6786]

Excellent Thanks!

[@Twobarpsi]

Best review of this camera on KZbin!!

[@Hawk1966]

The large alligator clip piece mates to the open back clip that has the top & bottom threaded tripod holes. Got the Brave 4 on lightning deal at Amazon for $67. My two selling points were the adjustable angle on the lens and being able to power the camer via USB.

[@rastanguria]

Nice video. I have to buy an action cam, since I need it on my motorbike, and I think I will get the EK7000.

[@xdiavels9261]

Nice video mate .Subscriber from Kerala ☻

[@cynderella5627]

Excellent review. I want to purchase an action camera but for an old gal I do not want to spend a lot. I appreciate all your input.

[@alexpark3053]

Can you please tell me if the camera Akaso Brave 4 supports power from the Powerbank? Thank.

[@linuxgeex]

EK7000 does have FOV adjustment on 3rd page of settings between Diving Mode and Effect. It works by cropping the video so you do lose sharpness.

[@davidmuth4571]

In order to get a low price cam with outstanding 1080p, shop for one with 4k/60 fps.

[@eqry5301]

Thank you i need one

[@delmarsalgado9744]

You have some very useful encyclopedia

[@dansaver8247]

Terrific. Thanks.

[@wildrootsfarm1975]

Good video....thanks

[@beachcomberbob3496]

The front display is really useful if you do film yourself and need a timer to see how long your video segment is.

[@305mrmanny]

get the GEEKAM brother is a good camera good video any way ! keep the good work

[@endoplasreh]

Thanks for this thorough review. I just picked up the Brave 4. I have Gopro session and 5 Black but wanted one more camera angle. I didn’t want to break the bank either. I have a gimbal that I will see if this camera fits into as well. I know you mention the stabilization was an important feature for you. It is for me as well and I was satisfied with the Hero 5 Black but it was a bit lacking. I’m not assuming the Brave 5 will be any better, but if I can get it in my gimbal then it’s a nonissue. Again, thanks for your work on this.

[@endoplasreh]

Thanks

[@D4m4g3d]

The static sound from the mic can be removed/reduced with audacity, depending on the audio format you may need to get the 2 plugins in order to import the audio file. Plenty of tutorials along with links to the plugins on yt.

[@TheRoybert]

Gyro is a gimbal setting. The stabilization is for shake stability. My brave 4 came with a seperate clear door that has two open slots for audio on the door where the bumpers belong.

[@tropangmasipag7719]

Nice video

[@klinkster1955]

I Bought a Soocoo and love it

[@RossMcgowanMaths]

The external mic is really good and worth using. I drilled a hole in the side of the waterproof case so I can use it with the case. Of course not waterproof now but I am not using it for underwater shots.

[@mobilemechanics6565]

Thanks bud

[@darkMoon202]

I buyed Brave-4 so not the best but I like it it's cool especially night view recording wonderful

[@vendetta1306]

Much obliged

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

This unboxing experience was like mine (7000ek). I had to guess, suppose, or assume the purpose of each accessory because instructions certainly don’t make it clear. After a few months I still have not figured them all out. I appreciate your effort. Seems to me that for one just wanting a basic inexpensive camera to get started the 7000 is sufficient. For those wanting notably better audio and video, skip the Brave and shop for another brand, probably GoPro.

[@davidmuth4571]

This has the exact same accessory pack as a Campark X30 4k. I think all these cams are made in the same Chinese factory.

[@desiamrika318]

Hi, nice review, about microphone, i believe you can connect external microphone through a HDMI to female connector....

[@dewaynemartin6649]

Thanks

[@MisterHumour]

Good video. I appreciate it was a lot of work. I am expecting to open one as a present tomorrow so, I it was good getting a jump on it. The walking video showed the Stabilization difference in the 7000 beautifully. HOWEVER...The Driving test should have been Apples to Apples meaning, 170 to 170. Not 170 to 110. IMHO. LASTLY...I am so disappointed in the mic, now :( Although, it should be great for a 2-camera shoot, I was also planing on making occasional videos from my car but, again, the mic quality is sub-standard for this quality of video.

[@KabansaAndPangutesu]

you have amazing cameras!! i wanna have those!

[@syazs7240]

GOOD REVIEW! THANK YOU!!! I’ll but it

[@christian.8121]

Syazs I’ll but it 😂😂😂😂

[@syazs7240]

Christian’s Exploring Channel HAHAHA, i’ll buy it🤦🏻‍♂️

[@christian.8121]

I know but he said but it

[@babulkarvlogs1714]

Nice backyard you got there... however, i did observe one thing that the image stabilization was not working .. was it activated while recording ?

[@rm25088]

Will there be a ton of wind noise without the case on? Should I put the case on when I take it motorcycling? I just got the brave 4 to start out with but I haven't used it yet.

[@Daniel-tj4fz]

Thanks for the video, how does the Brave 4 compare to the Hero 10?

[@courtneyheney2886]

helpful stuff, man. im a total novice on cameras and am doing a big fund raising bike ride this weekend and wanted to sort of document it all (to the best of my ability!).....so, thanks to your extensive review (and a couple of others), i opted for the akaso brave 4. currently, im playing around with it...the biggest issue im encountering is how the hell to mount the camera to either my handle bar or helmet! any suggestions? thank you again for this!

[@FastGadgets]

Make sure you check out my review on the Campark V30!

[@nicolettemoore7467]

do you know how to use this as a webcam replacement on an iMac? Is that possible?

[@CS-sm1ml]

Hi Great review. Lot of informations about this cam on your video, great job. I have a questions: Have you try to plug this camera on your iMac. Does it work with OBS? With HDMI port or USB port?

[@iTsMaaT]

I know to you can use it on a tv with a hdmi to mini hdmi adapter

[@purplearmy9070]

The piece at 5:58 slides in behind the bare frame holder you will have to take off the waterproof case to place it in there tho. Then you can clip the camera on to your jacket or hat but it won't be very secure thats why its a good idea to get 50 in 1 Accessory kit from amazon that comes with a head and chest strap and even a tripod all that for just $25 dollars

[@alessiodomenighini1487]

Thanks from Italy....one question ....you know name of sensor and chipset from this camera ?

[@charliedantzler6353]

Do you have to change the batterys on the charger are can you also charge them while inside the camera with the USB?

[@Green-cc4kf]

Nice unboxing video. I'm planning to make video channel for acoustic covers, I'm a bit confused about what camera and mic do I use that is on the affordable budget. I need your opinion Sir thank you in advanced.

[@BigStickSteve]

What did you use to get the protective cover gunk off of the lens?

[@ninjaboo2864]

Can I use 128 GB SD card?

[@Speck-Gnocci]

Hey, i have a question for my akaso brave 4 pro. I bought the camera to geht nice and wide video shootings for my holidays. When i go to video mode, i can't change the angle view. On their side, they said it can change to 170 degree angle but when i go to settings, the "angle" button is greyed out and can't be clicked. Only in Foto mode i can change the angle. Is my camera broken

[@AndrewWalsh43]

Hi there, a really nice detailed review and comparison video. I bought the ek7000 cam some time ago to do fpv on a drone I was building, ( its just about finished) unfortunately the ek7000 does not output analog video which is what I need as an input for my drone's video transmitter, I ended up mounting a hdmi to analog converter onto my drone so I could view my cams video remotely, and record onto the sd card. Unfortunately there is no way to trigger the camera to start recording video or take pictures in pic mode when the cam is outputting hdmi signal which is extremely disappointing. I wonder if the brave 4 has the same issue, if not, I would definitely upgrade to the brave 4.

[@kwadwadfpv2386]

Why don’t you just use a foxeer arrow as your FPV feed and 3d print mount this to your drone? That’s pretty much how everyone os doing it!

[@AndrewWalsh43]

@@kwadwadfpv2386 I am using a fixed fpv camera connected to the front of my drone. I have added a video switching module to switch between the hdmi source on my gimbal mounted akaso cam and the source from my fixed fpv cam.

[@dennisp4293]

The 7000 seems sharper while the 4 seems more stable. Could it be the film on the Brave 4 that is causing it to be less sharp? Have you tried the wifi? My iPhone will not connect to the Victure that I have.

[@cherok5036]

Can someone help me i dont know witch take between the brave 4 and the ek7000 pro

[@JBM9823]

Is this camera compatible with a gopro suction cup mount or do they offer one?

[@brianfederer2393]

Does the remote or in the phone app allow you to turn on the camera without you physically pressing the turn on button on the camera?

[@stefanobism]

How is video quality better than Brave 4 or Ek7000? Thank you

[@northrupmj]

what video editing software do you use when editing video from that camera?

[@ismael1982]

my camera had an extra peel of screen in front lens of camera so don’t forget to take it off before putting camera back in case

[@jasonwalker927]

I have a gopro hero 6 black and I have have video stabilizers and I get all on my and I can go in water with the case or without the case up to 33 feet 10mm

[@momskitchenreview4833]

👍👍👍like your video.

[@KineticAlliance]

Hello, do you know if there is a way for the brave4 to record while its plugged into your car adapter? For me it goes straight to a mass storage screen that I can't get out of. Thanks.

[@wingerrrrrrrrr]

Maybe try a charge only cord without the data lines, so it doesn't think it needs to transfer data -

[@quad8199]

everyone complaining about audio for this... JUST YOU WAIT until you hear the v50x...

[@Flyingchef84]

what software you use for making the movie etc.

[@svouros40]

I have akaso brave 4 and when i start shooting videos and timelapse videos, after a few seconds it stops itself, so i can't shoot the videos i want. Can you help me?

[@johnjones7986]

I have this camera (brave 4). It works great. Recently I have been trying to use the Time Lapse function. However, I can't seem to figure out the steps. I go to the settings menu and select "time lapse". Then I select a time, say 1 picture every 5 seconds. I then get out of the settings menu and select "camera". If I then press the top button (OK) it will take one picture but never repeats at 5 seconds. What am I doing wrong? Also, time lapse is a camera (picture) function and not a video function, right? I called Akaso's phone help number in Maryland but they could not help. They never had my question. I sent an email to Akaso in China and am waiting to hear back.

[@iwannachopbladeslawncare]

The ONLY thing I wished about these lower cost action cameras is they have mini 3.5mm jacks for mic inputs so I can use my wireless mic. I have to use my lavalier mics with the sd card for audio and sync with the video for extremely much better quality. other than that, the quality is just fine for me. I find it best not to mess with the settings for color and sharpness and etc. It seems to crunch the video up and look splotchy.

[@moronanticriss]

You should change your windshield!

[@aphyngodiva2551]

Does it not have a clothing clip? Wanted something to clip to clothing so it was less conspicuous but I might just chest strap like you do and try my best to ignore the staring lol.
