Akaso V50X on a BUGS 3 drone? yeah why not

[@wenepzoli]

Super drone! Super camera test! Thanks share ! 👍Like!👍

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I was surprised. Very good stabilization. 😃

[@pkfsylvia]

Great idea and thanks

[@EcFlipz]

Just an update! For those experiencing the same issue as me, frames will cut out with video recording which results in a choppy video with horrible audio delay. I have found the solution! I tried anything you can think off, firmware update/downgrade, micro SD formatting, using all possible settings such as video encoding etc. The only thing that fixed my issue was to USE MICRO SD CARD THAT AKASO RECOMMENDS (Samsung 64GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC EVO Select Micro SD Card). I tried using all varieties of micro SD cards (Kingston, San Disk) ensuring all were class 10, yet using the Samsung EVO only works for me!

[@WORTHITORNOT]

We I am using the sd card that Akaso recommends and there is still an audio/video out of sync issue. Akaso needs to address this quickly otherwise they will be getting a ton of returns.

[@EcFlipz]

WORTH IT OR NOT? That’s really unfortunate. Great that this worked for me but horrible that the problem persists 😩

[@WORTHITORNOT]

@@EcFlipz Try recording a 5 minute video clip in 4K, talking the entire time, then copy the video from the sd card into your computer and play it back, you will notice towards the end that the audio is out of sync with your video. What firmware are you using on yours?

[@EcFlipz]

@@WORTHITORNOT I tested today and I don't seem to have audio delay after 5 mins luckily. I bought the camera recently so I had the V50X-FX-20190813-V1.0 but I downgraded to V50X-FX-20190806-V1.0 while I was trouble shooting and kept it even since. Lets hope my testing wasn't one off and continues to work properly.

[@treyjohnson9770]

On my 4K monitor the video quality looks pretty good, not fantastic, but pretty good. I'm impressed. Good video brother

[@WORTHITORNOT]

I agree, not Sony/Canon type of 4K image quality, but very nice especially considering it's price point. Thanks for watching

[@mafiafpv3469]

One of the best drones ever made stated out on bugs

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Agreed !

[@cutandcleanwi6947]

Great stabilization. Quality looks good as well.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

It's a really good action camera for the money. How is the gimbal working for you?

[@cutandcleanwi6947]

@@WORTHITORNOT I got to use it a little bit. Need to read up on it to see how all the functions work.

[@TanyaOwens]

pretty smooth

[@istongtv9549]

great video, greetings from the Philippines!

[@richardpalmer4594]

Not bad footage, the 4K came out more stable then I thought it would of. On my 5K retinal screen the footage is pretty decent. That says alot considering I fly 3 of dji's 4K drones. Wow continue to have fun with that setup. I love my bugs 3 mini but haven't rigged up anything to put my osmo pocket on it yet. I've been looking at your Akaso V50x vids and I believe it to be totally worth a hundred bucks. Strap it to a bugs 3 and off you go with a setup that IMHO looks as good as the new zino 2.

[@EcFlipz]

Have you found a solution to the frame cutting and audio delay issue? Yours seems to be working great!

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Mine works fine after formatting the sd card in the computer to FAT32 then format in camera again and it has zero issues

[@EcFlipz]

WORTH IT OR NOT? I’ll give that a try. Thank you! 👍

[@northcountryscenes9872]

The 4K image looks really nice. Not a fan of these types of drones (non GPS) but it looks like a fun drone. Great video as always

[@WORTHITORNOT]

GPS drones are great for nice steady, fly by itself kind of peace of mind, but this is a fun little drone. Thanks for watching

[@naderabouali5956]

Great video ! What is the camera that you are using to shoot outdoors (the one on your head) ?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

GoPro Hero 5

[@ittakestwo5847]

Great looking video from the v50, too bad it's not on sale anymore. Do you know when it will be on sale again?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

I was surprised the sale lasted as long as it did, it was only to be for a few hours but they did it for 4-5 days and $84.99 is a FANTASTIC price for what you get. If it goes back on sale, I will make a post in the community section again about it.

[@briandolson2941]

Funny. On the short test clip in your driveway, there was the dreaded purple fringing. Yet in the full clip in the field, I did not notice any?

[@danvid1935]

Just ordered the v50x after watching this. The bugs 3h is gunna get some use again. Like you, it's a been a while between uses but it's still a super sweet drone and this camera is going to compliment it nicely.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

You're going to really like this camera, good video quality and very good image stabilization.

[@stirfriedrice4YOU]

Very good video showing the excellent video of the Akaso.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

This Akaso is a very good camera for it's price, looking forward to their totally new release unlike any of their other cameras ;)

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Witz : Akaso just told me it would be a completely new design and would be released before the end of year but they’re sending me one of their first tester model soon :). I’ll release info as I’m allowed

[@pkfsylvia]

@@WORTHITORNOT wow, looking forward for your review

[@ExploreUnderground]

I was just wondering what the new camera is? It can't be the V50 Pro SE. It's not all new and almost the same as the other V50 Pro.

[@Glenrsi]

Just received my Akaso V50 pro SE. Over the moon. Bought the landing gear to add to my bugs 2SE drone and then will be able to add the 4K camera. But i think the Akaso SE is a bit heavy. Might have to buy a lighter 4K camera. What can you recommend Andre ?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

The Firefly 8S ( not SE) fits perfectly or like in this video the V50X is light and takes very nice 4K video with EIS to take out the Bugs 3 jitters.

[@Glenrsi]

@@WORTHITORNOT : Thanks Andre will check those cameras out. I have a few drones and some are 4K with gimbals. Always liked my Bugs 2 SE but not the 1080p camera so much. So decided i would add landing gear and 4K camera. Ta.

[@louyelich8680]

Great videos.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Thank you and thanks for watching !

[@KatieHultay]

Great video, man I wish you would get into some racing FPV drones, if you think that drone is fun, get a racing drone with FPV goggles , then you will feel your heart race in a good way !

[@WORTHITORNOT]

I have been wanting to get one, nothing super expensive, but something to get my feet wet as they look like a ton of fun and yeah, at those high speeds, would definitely get my adrenaline running :)

[@StirfriedGerman]

$84 seems like a steal ... the footage looks really good!

[@WORTHITORNOT]

For $84 (when it was on sale) is a fantastic price, audio sucks on this camera (very quiet/muffled) but nothing a second mic and recorder can't fix. The 4K image quality is not the best, but not bad.

[@StirfriedGerman]

@@WORTHITORNOT Definitely usable though, nice stabilization, although that might be Ambarella's feat. I'm playing a gig on drums with a band in a bar on Saturday, after at least a decade of abstinence ... I'll use the Osmo Pocket to get a few clips of me playing but I definitely could have used a couple of Akasos for different angles on the cheap.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

StirfriedGerman : Very cool, my first instrument was Piano, then drums, then guitar and now back to Piano after 25 years. Got a Baby Grand in the Library and now teaching my daughter.

[@StirfriedGerman]

@@WORTHITORNOT Wow, fellow musician ! I play bass as well, and a few random songs on guitar. Two left hands on keyboards but enough to produce music, my first career was studio engineer and music producer after financially struggling as a performing drummer.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

@@StirfriedGerman : It's amazing how people can have things in Common. My father was a musician, an accordionist from Belgium (Mom and I are from Germany) and he was a virtuoso to put it mildly. His father had the Cruccinelli and Scandalli brothers from Italy make my father a one of a kind accordion, it's 6 foot tall and up to 4 people can play it, its the only one in the world (Chromatic) I have it upstairs in the man cave in a display case. I might make a video showing it . I'll take a photo of it and post it in the "community tab" on this channel.

[@jemborg]

Well now that's the stuff Andre! First person on YT to do this I bet 😊 Now, are you shooting in h.265? Both me and the wife, and the nine year old, agree h.265 looks better. And WDR does work... can expose a lot of detail in foreground shadow, and is worth experimenting with anyway. I've noticed people using the V50X for interior car shots should at least center the light meter, or spot meter, rather than use the average setting. Some pluses I like: All the functions are accessible via long/short button presses... ALL, even underwater. Two large batteries, with charging dock... can still be charged in camera whilst using! Bright IPS touchscreen. Even though the audio needs boosting at least it doesn't sound like the inside of a seashell. 2K@60fps looks great too. Has not overheated yet. High bitrate h.265. Will have external mic. + I reckon we were the first in Oz to get one... kudos 😜 For it's price you can't expect everything but still it's an outstanding value budget action VIDEO camera. My phone is better for stills. Cheers.

[@jemborg]

I forgot to add... I can verify it's using a 128GB U3 Sandisk Pro and it's reported to use a 256GB SD too! Why don't they mention this? 🤨

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Akaso told me 64 gb is the largest capacity for this camera and unfortunately I don't have a 128 gb or 256 gb to test with. I just went with what the manufacture states.

[@chadk727]

Aawesome content bro!!That is as smooth as my hubsan zino 3 axis gimbal.. will the campark v30 be just as smooth as this v50x??

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Yes Sir

[@chadk727]

@@WORTHITORNOT thanks..I'm sorry to question you to death but your expertise seem to be above everyone else I found on KZbin.. I can get a hero 5 or 6 black used for same price as the v50x /v30 is the stabilization as good as the budget cams. As I am trying to add an additional camera to my drone.. thanks so much for your time and honest input..

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Chad Keller : If it were me, I’d get the Hero 6 Black, better image, great stabilization, many more options to shoot with.

[@KlemenPrepeluh]

Yes. It's doing great with campark v30. Check my video, here..

[@MrTailsGamer]

Hey, have you installed the newest firmware 20190813 for the V50x? If you have, I think it bricked the wifi function... Has anyone installed the new firmware and unable to figure out how to turn on the camera's wifi function now?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

I have it on mine and it works, just don’t hold the up button for 3 seconds, just tap it once and it will turn on WiFi

[@MrTailsGamer]

WORTH IT OR NOT? Ok that was my bad. I was holding it in instead of tapping it. Thanks!

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Mr. Tails Gamer : No problem

Hey man, love watching your videos, you do great reviews! I understand that you are a fan of the Firefly 8SE camera, and I am wondering, if the yi 4k, xiaomi Mijia (incl case and charger+battery), GoPro hero 5 and firefly 8se( incl charger, extra batteries,charger and mic) were all available for the same price to you, which would you get today with what you know about them? Looking for a durable camera, with a good batterylife with a company that supports their product and firmware. Appreciate any help

[@WORTHITORNOT]

If they were all the same price, then I would get the Hero 5 black no doubt.

[@Rastafaraj18]

WORTH IT OR NOT? Thank you for the help, gopro hero 5 it is then!

[@kaybhee6]

dont think dji tello can hold this 80g cam.... seems good tho... maybe better than runcam5 orange,,,,

I don't know why, but I was looking forward to a wicked crash as I remember a long while ago you had a crash with one of the small drones, can't remember which but kind of think it was you. btw, man you have crazy weather there and I could never put up with that nonsense.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

LMAO ! Yeah that was the Drocon drone I had, damn thing got carried away in the wind and found it with a broken arm. Non brushless motors can't handle the wind at all. Regarding the weather here, yeah, it's brutal and its about this time of year I am completely fed up with the HOT summers. Hopefully by November we'll get into the low 70's/upper 60's during the day. I'm praying for a artic winter this year ! :)
