I used this camera for almost a year. Still operating well. Mostly i do recording on 4K/30fps and the batteries can hold for 45-55 minutes. 4K videos quality is very acceptable even when the EIS was on. The touchscreen perfomance is really smooth and made it easy for us. Decent timelapse quality for both photos or videos. EIS quality is not GoPro but regarding the price, i'm satisfied for it perfomances. The downside is obviously for the sound quality even using the external microphone, there's not much different i found. Overall, this is very good action cam for beginner or for those who just capture static videos and not really care for the sound quality. The price is their winning point and for me it's totally worth buying considering what u will get on the whole packages. Well, it's an honest opinion from me. Btw, very good product reviews u made buddy. Not many people knows there's a lot of budget action camera that give decent quality instead of more higher price such as GoPro, Insta360 etc. Thanks for sharing and cheers from Malaysia.

Thanks for watching and also for your personal input and opinion. I appreciate it. I’ve used it a couple of times since this video and I’m very pleased by the results. The next video I’ll be uploading will included some footage from the Akaso V50X. Its a great action camera at a very low price.

[@NazwanJamal]

@@DroneSyndrome Agreed! sometimes i forget v50x is a very cheap action cam when seeing the 4K/30fps video quality of it. It performed really² well especially on a bright day. 🙂👍

[@Marvelofebikes]

It is actually diving mode for going under water. Also WDR is wide dynamic range FYI

[@DroneSyndrome]

Yes. I was informed of this by another person who commented a while back. Thank you however, for reminded me of this. I appreciate your comment.

[@danielgonzalezd.4343]

Thanks for the info, but what does WDR do? Explain please. Just got this toy too!!!

[@RiverRockRecords]

it meant to say diving. it gives it a red filter for underwater recording.

[@DroneSyndrome]

Oh, ok. Then that would make sense. I don’t plan to go deep diving anytime soon, so I can’t test it or confirm that but thanks for letting me know.

[@RiverRockRecords]

@@DroneSyndrome no problem.

[@TeamYankee2]

Note... the DIVING mode is for actual DIVING... there is a seperate dRiving mode for dashcam.

Thanks Justin, I’m very glad that you found the video informative. Happy new year to you and yours.

Did you measure the angle of view ? Is it 170 or just 100 ?

[@danielgonzalezd.4343]

😊 thank you for your review and instructions. I wish you could show how to use the too many accessories that come with it. I feel overwhelmed with all of them and don't know what to do... Thanks man for your help. Daniel

[@DroneSyndrome]

Thanks for watching the video, I’m happy that you found it used. I’ll see if I can do that one of these days when I get a chance. Thanks for your suggestion, I do appreciate it.

[@danielgonzalezd.4343]

@DroneSyndrome thank you for reading my message. People will be very grateful if you teach us how to record, edit, add sound (music) and up load it into the network . Do you know how to use the akaso app? I am sorry to be a pain, but I just got the camera, and I am learning how to operate it. Thanks bro! Daniel

Great video my friend.

[@Kee.Sace3.0]

Great video, how were you able to disable the time stamp that’s on the corner of the video after recorded?

[@DroneSyndrome]

Hi, thanks for your comment. You can do that in the settings. Just tap on the setting wheel (looks like this ⚙️) and then scroll down to where it says “Date Stamp” and turn it off.

[@jamesthomas7048]

Hey man, reading some of these comments has me feeling like people will moan for the sake of moaning. great video, showed everything I needed in order to make my decision. Appreciate the effort you put in. As for speaking up. No, I can't stand the loud, in your face and over confident shouting that most videos contain. Keep it chill this was great, thanks man.

[@DroneSyndrome]

Hey James, thanks so much for your comment man, and for taking the time out to watch the video. Yes, I agree, a lot of people just like to moan and complain just about anything these days even my voice 😄 I’m happy that you found the video helpful in making your decision. In all honesty, it is a really good camera with an amazing image sensor chip at the price point. I appreciate your kind words of support my friend. God bless you always.

[@jamesthomas7048]

@@DroneSyndrome You're very welcome! I went ahead and ordered, unfortunately I had to cancel because it seems Akaso have changed the internals of this once very capable camera and the results are disappointing, I'm just glad I cancelled in time. Gutted that they have changed it, the pre 2023 version looked like exactly what I needed.

[@DroneSyndrome]

@@jamesthomas7048 Really? I didn’t know this. That’s disappointing for sure. I don’t know why they would change the internals and downgrade it. Must be the cost management, who knows. Sorry to hear that. I hope you’re able to find one similar if not, better than this one that fits your budget.

[@jamesthomas7048]

@@DroneSyndrome I've read a few reviews on it that suggest the reason for the downgrade in sound quality and connectivity issues is that some of the internal components have been replaced due to the increase in cost and demand for semiconductors that are included in the original chip. A worldwide shortage due to the pandemic has forced them to become more cost effective and unfortunately as a result the product and consumer has suffered. I just wish they'd have been a bit more transparent about things. I think I'm going to save and get a GoPro 😂

[@DroneSyndrome]

@@jamesthomas7048 I see. That would make sense if they’re trying to save on such costs but like you said, the quality suffers at the expense of the customer unfortunately. I’ve been checking out the iZEEKER iA800 and will probably get one and review it in the channel. It has the same processing chip as the GoPro and from what I’ve seen, the video image and color looks amazing. It might be one to consider. And it cost less than a GoPro.

Akaso - V50X how remove day month year from video recording?

[@Anoldphotographer]

That was a very good review, and I see you have already been corrected for the diving mode error. Other than that, thumbs up!

[@DroneSyndrome]

Thanks my friend. I appreciate your support!

[@marco2001]

hi everyone! i'm watching from Italy. I bought this camera on the 25th of may 2020. I use to record my holidays and keep memories of my vacations since summer 2020 and i'm still impressed of how this cheap camera works. I noticed that you have much much better mic quality and also the 1080p at 120 fps slowmo. On my V50X the internal mic is unusable because of the extremely low volume and the bad quality of recordings and i questioned myself if there's any update in order to have better mic quality and also the 120fps slowmo!!! (mine have 1080p 90fps only). Does anyone know something about some updates or latest firmware versions? Btw this remains one of my best buy of all the time! Change my mind 😝

[@DroneSyndrome]

Hi, thanks for your comment. You’re the second person to mention this. I think that they removed it from the newest 4.0 firmware version, I don’t know why they they removed it, strange... It seems like its only available in the V2.0 firmware version.

[@marco2001]

@@DroneSyndrome right. I will check for some "safe" updates. Thanks for the infos. Best, Marco

Hi there what firmware do you use for that v50x cause lots of my settings are not there give some advice sir good luck for the next video

[@MNM14ful]

Great review. I bought a V50X and so far far, I'm very happy with it. I have a couple questions about the camera that I hope you can answer. I've noticed that it records each scene in three formats, MP4, LRV, and THM (still photo). I don't need the LRV and THM. Is it possible to have the camera only record in the MP4 format? Also, the date shows up in the upper left corner of my videos, even though I have the Date Stamp turned OFF in Settings. Is this normal?

[@DroneSyndrome]

First of all, thanks for watching the video and for leaving your comment. As for the LRV and THM files, they are going to always appear automatically with your original files and as far as I know, there is no option in the camera for this. You can just simply delete them in your computer and leave just your video files only. Unless you need the proxy files for editing (LRV)... In regards to the digital stamping, it should not appear if you turned it off in the settings, so not sure what to say about that. Could be a firmware issue? You’d have to contact Akaso customer service directly for that. Hope this info helps.

[@MNM14ful]

@@DroneSyndrome Thank you very much for replying so quickly. I'm disappointed to hear the LRV and THM cant be disabled. I'll take your advice and contact Akaso concerning the date stamp issue.

[@Prosperityapex1]

I didn’t understand what is that disk he was Tallinn about?

[@mithundias]

Well made video. Purchsed this today and I am quite excited about this. By the way, how do you tranfer files from? Micro HDMI or Micro USB?

[@DroneSyndrome]

To transfer the files from the Micro SD card to your computer, you need to use an Micro SD card adapter which some already come with when you buy it.
