Akaso V50X Review & Sample Videos - Best Akaso Action Camera Yet!

[@RedskullPro]

There is a brand new Akaso Camera! The Akaso Brave 6 Plus! Full review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3SwdHqeet10b6c

[@wrathofdiablo]

Just ordered this but want a better audio quality. Could you tell me if i use mic adaptor from micro usb to 3.5mm and use non-akaso mic then will it work? Cheers!

[@tlomsland]

Congratulations Alex. This is probably one on the best, most concise product reviews I have personally ever seen on KZbin. You have done an excellent job of covering all of the features and uses of the V50X that could have been crammed into 13.24 minutes. You did an awesome job. Thanks, Richard

[@tlomsland]

And, you did it in English without hesitation. One more plus++++ for you.

Hey, thanks for checking out the video, appreciated!

It's nice to see a video in my feed that's not about the note 10. Thanks Alex

[@RedskullPro]

Haha, yeah, no Note 10 here :)

[@albertkoopmans8734]

I strongly recommend that you TEST the AKASO case empty in the sink / BEFORE you find a leak and ruin the camera :) I have seen many comments about that issue and IT wasn't tested beforehand :) KEEP up the great job with reviews on AKASO , I am a proud owner ( 2 ) of this Camera :) :)

[@lense-talesproduction1315]

This is the best deal for the price, EIS is unbelievably smooth! The EIS on and off video quality is vastly different.

[@panjangkaki]

But when EIS is ON, what is the Viewing Angle?

[@dontpayretail_thrift2687]

Just got this camera, and your information is fabulous 😊

[@FEATHERDUSTERTHEATER]

You do the best reviews. Your side-by-side footage is actually helpful. You help me decide to buy the camera. I’m happy I did it’s a well-made camera with excellent features and easy to use. The touchscreen is a blessing. But one problem people should know is that the video files produced by the camera are not compatible with Mac computers. Akaso Cheaped out and used an audio codec which is not compatible with Max. If you transfer your files via SD card to your Mac you will have no sound on your videos. I couldn’t figure it out but after an entire day of searching found a small comment about the situation in Amazon reviews. You would think given the hundreds of people complaining the camera itself sucks because there’s no audio that Ocaso might consider employing a real audio codec. Or they should stayed up front the camera is not Mac compatible. There are two fixes. But he needs an extra step? The first one is supplied by Akaso. You open their application on your phone go into your video files and select the video you want. Then select save to your iPhone. During this process it converts the audio. Then you need to email or airdrop your file to your Macintosh computer. This however is time consuming. The other option is transfer your files using the SD card and then you have to use the compromise of a third-party app to convert your video. Luckily the free video player VLC will do it quickly. You just have to use the convert/stream option and select for your audio another mpeg encoding Codec. Luckily you don’t have to re-incode the video just the audio so it’s a fast process. But I really think the company should state in their literature the files produced by this camera are not Mac compatible as far as audio.

Just ordered one because of your awesome and super complete and smart review. I know, after 3 years there are many other options (and cheaper ones), but it still fits my wallet and I don´t need a pro action cam, just for some amateur motorbike vlogging. I also ordered the Akaso external mic, who knows how it will work...Thank you, "like" button pressed, and already suscribed. Greetings from Spain, sorry for my English.

[@50kArchipelagos]

After seeing all of those seven version videos I decided to stay away from Akaso, turns out the early versions are about like a new version car you want to wait until they get the bugs worked out, but after watching this one it completely changed my mind and I just ordered one from that link you posted so thanks a bunch - that's a really good review.

[@davidharris3823]

For those who recently acquired the V50x,there are three menu modes, Video, photo and system. The video mode is easy , just tap the function icon (gear shape) in the lower right area of the viewing screen. To get to the photo menu press the mode button in the front of the camera once your in the video menu. To get to the system menu press the menu button a second time. This is not well explained in the manual.

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for sharing with everyone!

[@DarLingU78]

I just got this camera too. I can’t figure out how to take pictures while on record mode. It that possible?

[@jonnyd13768]

Why would anyone give this a Thumbs down?? It's simple, easy to follow and understand but is also comprehensive, insightful, informative and very useful, so what the fuck is wrong with people; what do they want / expect!? It would be nice if they could take the time to explain why they have given a Thumbs down!? .... Good work my friend!!

Redskull : Thanks Alex for the great review on the new Akaso V50X action camera ! Yes , I have been waiting for Akaso to improve their image stabilizition , to be more on par with the GoPro Hero 7 Black ! Alex do you think it’s comparable the stabilization between the two action cameras , or the Hero7 is still the untouchable champion #1 !!! 🇨🇦Scarboro

The GoPro is better for sure... but it’s also almost 4 times more expensive

awesome review (Would you ever consider adding more to the reviews i.e: Use on Bicycles? -mount on the bar and see how it deals with popholes or everyday rides? - just a cyclist looking for a cheap option or also camera footage of diving into a pool or water? ) - along with when doing the slow motion can we have original speed as comparisson?

[@RedskullPro]

Great suggestions! I usually include some bicycle footage but I was lazy this time around 😅

[@jment34]

Have you tested the 2023 version? It seems they downgraded the camera specs. I filmed a video with the eis on and it looked like the one on the right. I saw it on yt after I ordered and it was too late to cancel the order. The Gyro is gone time lapse and fast motion are greyed out it's become a complete ripoff.

Hi, I've been trying to find a good first action cam, and I feel like I got close with this, the biggest downside being the microphone. Have you maybe found in the meantime an alternative that doesnt involve external mics at around the same budget? I sadly dont have too many options like yi 4k+ because of european amazon

[@RedskullPro]

No solution aside from an external microscope… you can always record sound afterwards and edit it in… but that adds a new level of complexity

[@clmfilms8103]

I have a question about my akaso v50x. I am trying to take a night time-lapse, but I have a problem. I changed the exposure time to 5 seconds (under the photo settings) so that there would be enough light getting to the sensor in the dark environment. I tried taking a few photos and they turned out really good, but when I tried to take a time-lapse, it just used the auto exposure settings so the entire time-lapse turned out way to dark because the sensor was not getting enough light. I am able to change the settings for photos, but when I take a time-lapse it doesn't use my photo settings. (just to confirm, I am doing the photo time-lapse, not the video time-lapse) and ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@DarioToledo]

Unfortunately on the official product page it's been said it doesn't support external microphone. Here's the V50X FAQ: Q: Can this camera take an external microphone? A: No, this action camera can't take an external microphone. I've crossed my fingers hoping it was true when you said it should support it.

[@RedskullPro]

After the last update the V50X can take an external microphone; I was told this by Akaso. Supposedly a microphone will be available for sale in a couple of weeks

[@DarioToledo]

@@RedskullPro oh, that's a plot twist. So the official site itself isn't up to date. The akaso microphone currently sold doesn't work with the v50x?

[@sexytopramen]

@@mijiasample6334 hmm. I wonder if the aliexpress listing has correct info. The sensor is 12mp, not 16 like it says on the aliexpress listing. I bought the camera last week and it definitely shoots 1080p at more than 30fps.
