After playing with the Brave 7 for the past 4 days I figured it was enough time to give you my thoughts. Now I did just talk with Akaso this morning and they sent me a new firmware update. So we will see what it does and if there are any worthy changes and fixes.

Hey man. Was looking forward to yr final video and meanwhile watched a few other reviewers. Oh man, what a disappointment. I really wanted to hv a good entry action cam, never used one but for my cycle touring I wanted to upgrade. Sigh...I really hope a firmware update can fix that sound issue at least bit. I just don't get, how such essentiell feature like dphbd can possibly pass QC and satisfy the engineers. Please keep us posted if the update did sth. I subscribed and looking forward to it Wanna take a decision asap.

FYI, I bought the Brave 7 recently and have to say that the audio is actually pretty decent for an action cam. You probably figured this out by now but you have to turn "Wind Noise Reduction" - OFF and then it comes in much louder with actually a bit of bass. Maybe a tiny bit muddy but overall I was impressed for it being the internal mic of an action cam. Of course, it is Decemeber 2022 and maybe they also updated the camera since the time of your review. If I do turn on Wind Noise Reduction, I do get the same results as your tests from last year.

Thank you for this, I have a Brave 4 and was looking at getting a GoPro because I'm crazy like that due to lack of coffee at times. Anyway's the Brave 7 LE looks good to my eyes and the price is beyond just right. I'm not looking to make a movie and as for sound well, I would never use any camera as my main sound that's just crazy. If you want to have sound, you just have a sound recording device yes more stuff but it's just what you have to do. Thank you again for taking the time and sharing your thoughts.

After watching your videos from the unboxing to the firmware update on the brave 7 I bought one. Played with it for a day and I'm a bit frustrated. Image is nice, sound not so good but it picks up every touch to the case. I'm taking it tomorrow on my sxs. Which is what i bought it for. To record trail rides. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up buying the hero10. It's a bit more than double the price but seems worth it. I paid $159 for the brave 7 and the hero 10 it's on sale for $349. Thanks for all the great info.

Thank you for the very thorough review. As is usual for your videos, it was super helpful. I hope that Akaso can get the audio issue worked out. Here in the US, the DJI Osmo Action is selling on Amazon for $200. At $150, the Brave 7 is going to be a tough sell in the short term (while the OA is still available at that price). Particularly if a person doesn't need external audio. The price difference immediately grows though if external audio is required. It only costs $10 to add an external mic to the Brave 7, but it costs $40 for the OA ($30 for the mic adapter, $10 for a mic). I find that ("hidden" value) to be one of the great strengths of the Akaso line. One doesn't get nickel-n-dimed into the stratosphere. In that regard, GoPro is king. LOL Thanks again... I look forward to hear how the updated firmware addresses the audio issue.

Thanks very much for your final thoughts and I must say the front screen looks very nice and interesting what you said about audio and agree with you. Still looks really nice action camera and a bit like GoPro. What's the batteries like for recording time when fully charged? I hope Akaso can fix audio and when you were talking in footage I couldn't hear you what you were saying. I'd buy it to replace my Akaso 7000 as I really like that front screen next to camera it makes it more like GoPro and the camera blooks a very nice size. I hope you do more video footage from this little camera in future! Stay safe buddy!

I use the brave 6 Plus for moto vlogging but I'm having a big problem that made me go back to my Sena 10C Pro. The big problem is that I never know if I'm recording or not! I have not found any solution. When riding it's impossible to see the faint flashing blue light in the motorcycle mirror and the little beep is impossible to hear when I'm riding. The remote on the the 7 could be a solution but not sure if it's easy enough to read when riding on a bright day. The Sena let's me know when I start recording and when I stop with a voice message in the speakers.

Ok so in my search for the best action cam, regardless of price, I found the following: The GoPros are the most expensive, have the best picture, but comes with virtually nothing which forces you to purchase accessories that add to that already high price, and they are well known for overheating and shutting down which negates the best picture quality since when shutting down, there is no picture at all. The Dji action 3 is less expensive, still comes with basically nothing, and has a focus issue. The Akaso brave 6 pro has decent picture but no front facing screen. The Akaso 7 has no sound. The Akaso brave 7 LE has no external mic, uses micro type plug in for charging, and indirect sunlight washes out the picture. The insta 360 is expensive and is oddly shaped for mounting in many situations. I may be hard to please but these issues are deal breakers for me. So I sit and wait. In my opinion, the GoPro hero 9 is the best deal for the dollar but at $295 us, still too expensive considering it’s the third generation back now that the 11 is out. In addition, it still comes with basically nothing and the kits that can be purchased with it either don’t work on the GoPro or are very cheaply made and they break. Anyway, that’s how I’ve broken it down when it comes to action cameras in my opinion.

Thats actually really small for a video file. The files i work with are usually a couple Terabytes in size. Video is large. Not much you can do about it.

No. I have still been in contact with Akaso and i believe that they are releasing an updated version that has been fixed. Should know more soon.

@@gregtoope thank you I did not know that. I was going to get an older gopro model but I heard it's no fun getting your videos to your phone with those. I'm using an akaso v50x but I find unless I'm using it on a tripod the rest of the video footage is unusable so I've never wanted to get more akaso products because of the poor everything except taking a picture which most cell phones do rather well.

Has anyone dealing with Akaso customer service gotten responses beyond the canned replies asking for order numbers, model, and firmware versions? Each time I've gotten to that point and replied to them with that info, they just stop responding each time. Is it just an automated response line they have set up?

do they sell this as an option with mic if so could this be a case of making sure people buying the mic with and if so hopefully the firmware solves the issue and allows other external mic's

As you say, it's a deal breaker. I've been waiting for this camera since last year, but thinking on using it mainly for recording my rides on natural trails with may friends on my mountain bike, carrying an external mic all the time is a no for me considering you already have a chest mount an hydration pack fiddling around, probably too uncomfortable in a 6 hours+ long ride we use to go on weekends.

Greg, please update when you find a solution, or Akaso updates you on the gain issues you had with the mic while riding. External mic is okay, but not if the audio is unusable due to the distortion you encountered. Stay safe.
