Akaso V50X VS Yi 4K+ Action Camera Comparison!

[@ricky240z]

AKASO V50-X Update: After much experimentation, I have found that this Camera performs very well with the latest firmware of Nov 2019 except that when using the APP "ACASO Go" or "RoadCAM," the issue is that the soundtracks with either internal or external mics have Pops and Crack sounds. I have not been able to find a workaround for this issue. If you make movies without using the App(s), no problems using this Camera. In this mode, I would give it a 10 out of 10, including video quality (4k) and sound (internal or external mics.) Let us hope they fix this sound issue with their App in the next update

[@juandenz2008]

Thanks for the comparison. I think the Yi 4K+ is better in most respects sharpness, colors, sound etc. The Akaso has very good EIS though.

[@zretil]

But I think the EIS is the most important feature in an action cam, so for me the Akaso takes my vote.

[@waldeo5107]

It is a shame that the audio is so bad on the Akaso V50X and that is does not support external mic :( Its like from the budget cameras there is no perfect one, one has better pic and videos but no accesories (Yi 4K+) and Amazon does not sell it only saw it from one seller at almost $400 crazy expensive and then you have the Akasos which the V50 Pro has good sound but EIS is worse than the V50X but V50x internal mic sucks...I'm still deciding, since either one I choose I will be missing something :( I hope Akaso fixes the V50X with a firmware update so the mic sound is better and so to make it able to support external mic, I think when they resolve that they will sell alot! Awesome review Alex! Thanks!

[@RedskullPro]

When I asked Akaso for the V50X they specifically said that they are sending me the external microphone for it to try it.... but they never did... so it may take an external microphone. Back when the V50 Pro was released it didn’t support an external microphone and that it was added in an update...

[@MultiDarkZen]

Personally I still think the Akaso v50X looks better because colors are much more vibrant though what setting did you have the angle on? It seems a little too zoomed in and that might be why, also what kind of tri-pod are you using? I've never seen that kind of tri-pod before.

[@bmirfin]

I have seen this good video several times. I am trying to spot both good and bad. I was going to choose either camera, until I just noticed things I have missed. On the waterfall shot, I notice that the horizon is 'very odd' on the Akaso. It bends down to the left quite a lot!. Also, the trees behind, and in front of the red building, do not look natural. For me, it's like looking through a sheet of clear plastic at the filmed background. Where the Yi 4K does have a more natural look, except that the white building on the back left, seems to be up a lot higher than the Akaso, which dips a lot to the left, and does 'not' look natural, lens distortion I wonder? So which one is nearest to true horizon? For me, the Bush on the left next to the falls, looks like somebody smeared, or did a bad job trying to paint it on the camera lens! I find that checking of a lot of action cameras, show their true 'failed' resolution when you look hard at all the leaves on all of the trees in the far background of any scene filmed on any action camera. Here, the Yi 4K has reasonable distant true resolution and lens clarity. So, (for me), if vegetation does not look natural, then the camera is not on my list.

I think the Yi 4k+ is still one of the best affordable action cameras out there. I still have mine.
