Akaso Brave 7 - good stabilization done terribly

[@cewaffles]

Cheers, Thanks for all the content and great info over the years.

Nice video ......👌👌

[@xXadambXx]

this action cam with simulation VHS handheld filter :D nice ! :D

[@gnryushi]

Great investigative work.

[@Path.V]

Gyroflow is great software if that cam has gyro data written into the file

[@wavesoffun]

I've been using GyroFlow as well on my old GoPro6. Really impressive. I also have the Akaso Brave 7, but found that the hatch covers are so stiff due to salt water, but not with my GoPro, so I suspect the Akaso seals are fairly poor. Have you experienced the same?

[@juhaal7148]

@@wavesoffun does brave 7 have gyro data

[@ivailokirezov1302]

Which video codec you used? Built in H265 instead H264, improve quality a lot.

[@notenoughtech]

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure - I think it was H264, but considering cropping while the bitrate would be better, the resolution would still take a dive when stabilisation is on

[@ivailokirezov1302]

@@notenoughtech The difference is palpable, as if the camera is different. 265 delivers sharper, more detailed images with fewer artifacts. This enhancement arises from its ability to determine CTU sizes based on contextual information, making H. 265 superior to H. 264 in terms of compression and image quality.

Is that saltburn?! I’m don’t live far from there 😁 great review also, I’m on the look out for an action camera but I’m still leaning more towards the GoPro

[@notenoughtech]

Yes it is. I head there often when the weather is great. Nice little coastal town

[@vladimirfilipovic8832]

what microsd you have???

[@notenoughtech]

I usually go with these unless I need extra speed www.amazon.com/dp/B08GYKNCCP/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_W2VMYEM6S05AA96BCRNJ?linkCode=ml2&tag=notenoughtech-20

[@vladimirfilipovic8832]

thanks I bought sandisk extreme pro i think is ok

[@BitterMedicineNoSugar]

mine doesn’t have 2 60fps.

[@notenoughtech]

Check HDR settings. Usually that locks the FPS to 30

[@JulzVergara]

Your video on youtube is max out in 1080p50 fps. No 4k settings. So even your 4k 30fos footage still looks like 1080o

[@ICyfish]

is the remote water proof???

[@notenoughtech]

Resistant but not proof

[@eberger02]

I’m trying to remember the name of my drone camera. It is less than half the price of that, but not waterproof and has no battery (needs a 5V power supply which is ubiquitous on drones, but also USB is 5V so a Poundland battery pack will do). In that the Image stabilisation is manual. The gyroscope data is recorded into a file, then you decide how aggressive to stabilise the image and what format to create the output in. Pretty sure the free image stabilisation software is called Gyroflow. Virtually certain atleast some GoPros hide the gyroscope data in the video’s metadata. It is possible that your non-stabilised videos can be manually stabilised using software. I’ve never tried with go-pro type footage though. Annoying me that I can’t remember the camera name. Will look at the box if I don’t remember soon. Edited to add: RunCam Thumb Pro €80-85 from Aliexpress. There is a non-pro version that’s about half that but the initial image is first recorded in only HD and then smaller when exported.

[@notenoughtech]

You could also run the pixel based stabilization with something like Adobe premiere pro using warp stabiliser. That works well

[@eberger02]

Is there a free version of software that does this?

[@notenoughtech]

I believe shotcut should have a stabilisation filter. As shotcut is free... Then you should be able to try it out

[@Path.V]

@@eberger02 Gyroflow is such a software, uses gyro data to stabilize footage

[@Path.V]

Runcam Thumb? Runcam Orange?

[@thomas.ntiveris]

🔥🔥🔥

[@oh_rhythm]

the video quality is...quite poor

[@AnotherCG]

Poor is an overstatement. That product is more along the lines of a deliberate scam.

[@donofthedonmtb]

None of the "low cost" action cameras do stabilization worth a damn. If you need it, get a Osmo Action, Insta 360 or a GoPro.

[@AnotherCG]

akaso brave 7 sucks
