Akaso V50 Pro Native 4K Action Camera - Unboxing, Review and Tests

(Amazon) geni.us/iunhQsB - ✔ Akaso V50 Pro
👇Expand the description for MORE information and links👇
Welcome to the review of the Akaso V50 Pro - a wonderful native 4K action camera!
Easiest way to get this model is via Amazon (check the links below). And it is very attractive because of the great pack of accessories and the decent performance.
The v50 pro is way beyond what you’d expect for a 120USD action cam. Look at the package first - feels like you’ve just spent a few times more money (unboxing feels like you have a Gopro Hero). And unlike Gopro Hero series, there are bunch of accessories that will coma handy. I’d classify the unboxing experience as top notch!
Besides the waterproof case, there also are tons of mounts, frame, a second battery and even a remote to be used as a wristwatch. With all that you can position the camera in all kind of crazy angles and mount it to countless objects. At the end - this is what action cameras are about.
Before jumping to more samples - the hardware. Panasonic image sensor, equipped with iCatch v50 chip-set - means that you will enjoy a good looking footage and the 4K resolution is real. The touch screen functionality is good, but I do love the fact there is a way to navigate the menus via buttons - this can be precious if you are filming underwater.
The battery capacity is 1100mAh, enough for around an hour of recordings.
Let’s check the performance. All worked flawlessly and if I wanted to enable or adjust something, I was able to do it in a few seconds. The menu is grouped in a few sections. The video settings are letting you switch between resolutions, shooting modes and codes. And yes - 265 - HEVC is supported and you may use it to keep the high quality but use smaller amount of space.
Image stabilization works at all the resolutions. The highest FPS you will get on 720p - going up to 120 frames per second, but if your goal is to get crisp footage with high level of detail - this would be mostly useless. Next option is fullHD at 60fps which is fine. I liked the way 2.5k and 4K look too.
There are a few time lapse options and a way to film fast video.
The photo section is very functional too - options to switch resolutions and adjust white balance and exposure.
In the settings menu of the Akaso V50 Pro there is control of the angle. There’s choice between super wide - 170 degrees, and then - wide, medium and narrow. The superwide had too many distortions at the edges, so I mostly used the wide and medium. If you shoot at narrow people will barely understand the footage comes from a wide angle lens as there are almost no distortions notable. Speaking of distortions - there is a correction function, however it cannot be combined with image stabilization at the same time. So you either have more stable footage, or bent edges.
You can see that the footage has awesome quality. The 62 megabits have very good color reproduction. I have a few remarks about darker areas and shadows - sometimes the image feels too contrasty, and that is quite easy to improve in post production.
All the modes tested showed good results for such a budget action camera.
Oh, and last but not least - the microphone of the Akaso V50 Pro is good too!

Which action camera would you byu for 120USD right now an why?

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, it seems to be out of stock almost everywhere :( But there is hope - the brand was taken over by Elephone again, and there may be some newer models coming soon. Not sure of the faith of the Explorer 3 and whether there will be another batch.

[@bruin4937]

Really good review, thank you, Tech4All.

[@TechMishka]

Most welcome, Bruin. And quite a good actioncamera too 😎

[@gomongoose]

5:30 - 5:40 : The Darks are really dark on this camera. Far objects have very little detail. I am not an expert, but maybe thats the difference between a budget action camera and the more expensive GoPros.

[@TechMishka]

True that - this is one of the big differences.

[@nikoflow_fm9541]

Still probably one of if not the best action cams around the $100 mark, which is crazy because it’s been almost 3 years since it was initially released. Seems like action camera development has kind of slowed in the past years. Also I think Akaso has upgraded some of the camera’s features such as better EIS and low light, so it’s even better now compared to 2018.

[@TechMishka]

True that! Sadly - action cameras seem to be a dead end right now...

Avoid using 60FPS. I almost always use the default settings, and shoot in 30FPS - and that is good enough. Most often shots taken are in 4K. With an action camera - if lighting is bad, the quality of image suffers...

[@Arijit_B]

Awesome Review, lots of technical details shared and some great footage captured - It feels like MGCOOL was in the hurry to close their shop, hence they can't do much with their product and AKASO picked it up from there...Anyhow 2k option is a nice addition, Explorer 3's 1080p footage is not very good wish it offers 2k too. One thing the Date is quite odd though.

[@TechMishka]

Hey Arijit - you are nailing it with an awesome analysis (again! :D ). There is a minor update about MGCool - there finally is some movement with their facebook page, and looks like Elecam are bringing the brand in-house. They mentioned about forthcoming model which will be again labeled as ELE(cam). Not sure about Akaso - they seem to have no relation with MGCool, at least not officially. By the way - explorer 3 should be able to shoot at 2k too. At least I can remember having seen this menu. And overall performance should be very similar. According to the Akaso team there is a firmware update coming, we will wait and see. The date... it is one of the things I have the most when they happen :D Forgot to configure the camera not to show the date. I usually never adjust that, and apparently forgot to disable the stamp. And that's the default. Pretty confident this model was NOT existing at that timeframe.

[@Arijit_B]

Thanks for the reply, MGCOOL Explorer 3 don't have 2k video option and I'm sure as I didn't find any in mine and your review also say so. Also....the soundtrack after three mins are breathtaking.

[@maxguntaniii5980]

[@levia1398]

First of all, thank you for the review, very informative. If I fasten this cam on motorcycle, what do you think about image stabilization?

[@TechMishka]

It will be mostly alright, and out of the mentioned 6 models - will be best on the SJ8 Plus.

[@levia1398]

@@TechMishka I see, thanks

[@caml17]

Great videos! How would compare this camera against the Firefly 8SE? I've been looking at some reviews and can't decide between these two. They are about the same price right now in Canada...

[@TechMishka]

Both of them are good. The 1080p on the Firefly is better, and overall - the chips and optics in the firefly is one step above the Akaso V50 Pro. However the V50 Pro can shoot 4K and stabilize it - something that firefly 8SE cannot do. If 1080p is fine for you - Firefly; if 4K is needed - having EIS sounds more reasonable to me.

[@suvendumukherjee710]

I like your detail analysis .Could you please tell which sd card you have used for this camera .I cannot start my camera with sandisk extreme 64gb card .

[@TechMishka]

Usually I use the same brand. In the case of this review - it used to be a very old Mixia Class 10 card...

[@raouloctav]

Hy. I have observed on amazon that there is another name that has identical products to Akaso and MgCool. Check Rollei. I bet the recipe is the following: buy the rights and brand the device with your name, maybe change something small( or big, like the image sensor)

[@TechMishka]

Wow - indeed - the same. Most likely the hardware is also identical. This one is getting iconic - will soon be two years of having the model on the market. Most likely the quality is the same. Also - there is now a "SE" version that supports 4K @ 60fps - just as the Rollei one.

Very well prepared video mate. I’m struggling with the camera when it goes to sleep mode , don’t know how to get back on or even turn it off. Also we I turned WiFi , it jammed and the only way is to get the battery out to turn it off. Any idea to solve this ?

The described situation makes me thing it may be software-related. Try to search Akaso's facebook page and website for a firmware upgrade - most likely it will fix these problems.

Hi Michael, i just bought the Akaso V50X, really like the 4K 30 footage from it but ohh the audio is awfull, if i'd known about the dreadful audio i think i wouldn't have bought it, do you think the V50 Pro is the better of the two camera's, it seems as though the audio is much better on the V50 Pro.

[@TechMishka]

I don't think the V50 Pro has better audio. At least the unit I've tested was bad... Generally - to get good audio - make sure to be outdoors and close to the camera. Try playing around with the volume controls and switch off any "wind reduction" or whatever similar features.

[@JensEskildsen]

Hi, which editing software are you using for this? Thanks

[@TechMishka]

I almost always use Adobe Premiere. For mixing video from an action cameras you may go for more basic solutions. VSDC used to be a good freeware device.

[@ahmedramimiadi644]

Thanks for the video dear! There are some options i didn’t understand ???? Like AE Meter ?? Scene mode ?? EV ? Can you explain it to me, waiting your comment thank you so much

[@TechMishka]

Hi Rami, thank you for these questions. AE meter is supposed to be the AutoExposure meter - meaning that you can choose which area of the screen/frame will define the exposure levels. Could be useful when shooting sunset, for example. Scene mode is a choice for switching between different color modes, which have predefined presets. I usually stick to the auto, as anything on top of it usually reduces the quality, unless if it is done in postprocessing via professional software. EV = exposure value - which can increase or decrease the brightness. Hopefully that helps. If you have more questions - feel free to write back here, or send over an email.

I would like to mount it on a motorbike. What's your opinion? Can you give me a suggestion? Is this v50 pro better than elite? Yi4k for 75€ is a better choice? I hope you can understand my english

[@TechMishka]

Hi Mamba, your English is fantastic, no worries about it. yi 4K as far as I remember is capable of stabilizing in 1080p only. If you need the 4K - then Akaso models are a good idea, and I believe the V50 Pro has better low light capabilities. Right now this is a really great deal: bit.ly/2C9gMGa THe latest SJ8 Pro are more or less free of bugs, and they used to cost 289. A price of 163 is much more reasonable.

Is this camera truly 4k NATIVE?

[@IamAarayna]

Does this cam heats up during shooting??

[@TechMishka]

It does get warmer when shooting in 4K.

[@Bobbym90]

Does it include a helmet mounts ?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, there are such in the pack.

[@blakeflakes1]

I so wonder if this camera will fit in my activeon cases... This camera is solo similar to my Activeon cf gold. The ports/sd card slot, buttons, battery door, tripod mount and the overall form factor looks identical. Please, someone tell me if I'm right

[@TechMishka]

It does look very similar. There is a great chance it will. But I have never had the Activeon cam and cannot say for sure.

[@blakeflakes1]

@@TechMishka I'm picking one up this week. Thanks for the video!

[@TechMishka]

@@blakeflakes1 Awesome. Fingers crossed! And make sure to make a lot of awesome videos with it.

[@gordblanc]

What type of SD card would you recommend?

[@TechMishka]

Even a basic class10 would work if you don't shoot 4K. For 4K i've tested u3 Sandisk and a U3 Samsung card - both were fine.

[@Knight11692]

What is being used for the audio because I own this action cam and my audio does not come out this clear.

[@TechMishka]

Nothing - just auto settings. I noticed that the sound gets improved if you get closer to the microphone for 10 seconds and then it starts to sound better.

[@Knight11692]

@@TechMishka Oh okay

[@sophianewhof352]

what SD card should I purchase for it?

[@TechMishka]

Better get a microSD card based on the U3 specs.

[@focibc]

Do you have any of the raw footage that does't have compression?

[@TechMishka]

Sure, I keep a lot of footage, and most of the scenes shot I should be able to find in the archives. If you want a particular chunk - please send an email to [e-mail].

[@arneloases8433]

Hi tech4all, does it support external mic this v50pro? Thanks

[@bikashgorkhaligurung]

Sadly no.

[@TechMishka]

It does - with a later firmware version an external mic is supported. Could also be related to a revision of the hardware.

[@bobrompuvan]

hai im from malaysia...thks for sharing bro🤝

[@TechMishka]

Yoo, warmest regards to Malaysia! May the day be great for you 👍😅

[@gregtoope]

i bought their external mic to work with this camera, but cant get it to work. Is there a trick or something that im missing?

[@TechMishka]

Perhaps you are running an old version of the firmware. I remember they announced mic support with a newer version.

[@gregtoope]

Tech4All I installed the most current version of their firmware which they actually sent me. But still nothing.

[@lacijozsef5922]

@@gregtoope Could you look at the label on the battery clip? You can see your hardware release (April, May...), then the updated firmware. They may not be compatible.

[@gregtoope]

actually looks like i had a faulty camera. they sent me a new one and everything works now.

[@DAukeman]

I have been on the fence between this one and the Firefly 8SE. Planning on using with a gimbal. Which would you suggest?

[@TechMishka]

If you are going to use a gimbal, options can be even more :D Overall, I'd go with an Ambarella-based camera because of the 120fps on Full HD. If stabilized 4K is the leading factor - then the Akaso should have precedence.

[@DAukeman]

GAH! That is my dilemma. Haha... I think having stabilized 4k native to the camera is a huge bonus, so I don't always have to have the gimbal for shooting. I am trying to think of how many times I plan on using 120fps, but the option to do so is enticing. Also, thank you for both the great reviews and your reply!

[@markoapple5025]

I have bought Firefly 8SE based on tech4all review and one other youtuber that directly compared V50 pro to the 8SE. Picture quality is way better on 8SE, as is the audio from internal mic. I’m still waiting for mine to get cleared at customs office, will be testing it this week. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

[@TechMishka]

Hey Marko, awesome that we helped to make a good choice. Feel free to post the other video here. KZbin may temporarily mark your comment as spam, but I will make sure to make it visible.

[@amyfreeze9772]

How do I get the case off the box? I can't seem to slide it or unscrew it

[@TechMishka]

It slides, but there is a lock mechanism - you will have to press the claws close to each-other and it will start moving, and you will be able to release it.

[@blacksantay]

I am having trouble connecting the v50 pro to my iphone for the ismart pro+ app. Does anyone know how to set it up?

[@TechMishka]

Get in touch with them via their facebook page. Sometimes you have to enable the GPS on the smartphone.

[@vishnukeezhillam3675]

Akaso using any external Mike ??

[@TechMishka]

They do, yeah. 👍😎

[@ryanuhazie]

What Micro SD card would you recommend?

[@TechMishka]

This onme works with most Class 10 Cards. Usually having U3 is the best choice, especially for 4K.

[@nocanndo16]

Had the v50 for a few days and I cannot get the video to record any longer then 8 mins & 54 sec. Yeah the app just keeps crashing on my Note phone. Thank you.

[@TechMishka]

Are you shooting in 4K? If that is the case - most likely you are reaching 4GB file size, which is the maximum supported by the Fat32 file system. SHoot in a lower resolution and you will get longer recordings.

[@zatoichiable]

Is this camera have clean live hdmi output to tv or pc?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, it does. YOu can stream via microHDMI.

[@tk2stroke]

Is there an option to turn off the display when recording?

[@TechMishka]

sure - it happens automatically, and you can configure that as well. Usually action cameras switch off the display after 30 seconds or one minute.😇

[@veeclash4157]

review apeman trawo action camera please!

Alright, I will see what I can do :-)
