I had this camera a year ago and was quite impressed with the video quality at 1080p 60fps. However, as time went on, I noticed that part of the footage was out of focus, which just got progressively worse. I suspect this was due to poor quality control on the manufacturer's part, but I'll give it another chance.

YES ITS GRAINY! I RECEIVED MINE 3 DAYS AGO. I tried the 4k, 2.7k and 1080p @60pfs. out of the 3, the 1080 gave me the best video but all of them All grainy. NO SOUND if inside the case. Out of the case you need to be super close speaking super loud.
@gregtoope4 жыл бұрын
I don't find it grainy if there is enough light. indoors it's very grainy, but that's pretty much all cheap action cams. Even the GoPro and the insta360 cams are grainy when the light gets low. Limitations of the small sensor. And you will always get no sound when inside a case. The case is designed to withstand being submerged in water so sound is also not going to be able to enter the case. But it does need to be close even without using the case to get some audio. Its one of the cheapest action cams out there. You get what you pay for.
@erwin0217774 жыл бұрын
@@gregtoope "you get what you pay for" That's very true. Though the video quality is acceptable. It's also true that many of those over 900 reviews are FAKE. Especially those that said "great" or "very good" audio.

@@erwin021777 That may be true for some reviews, but again you do have to compare it to the price. You can get these cameras for $50! SO for a $50 camera, the video quality outdoors is really good! I was quite surprised! SO yes Id say it's very good. You cant compare it with a GoPro, which costs 6-10 times the amount depending on which one you get. But I will agree that the audio isn't fantastic. But again its a $50 camera.

Hi Greg really love your videos. Im trying to find a video camera to use for my e-bike it's pretty confusing and trying to find out witch camera has a good external mic set up and great to good stabilization for videos it's becoming very difficult to make my decision. I was wondering if you could help me or tell me witch one you would use. I have a stealth bomber e-bike and it is not you average e-bike it like a dirt bike that you can ride on the street or where ever because it has pedals It is very fast and has a ton of torque it does 75mph and being electric is gets from 0 to 60 in a few seconds it's very awesome. But I want to start moto vlogging and video record my rides I would want a camera with an external mic to have good sound because Im sure the wind noise from the internal mic would cause to much wind buffering. I was thinking of the brand Akaso or something not to over the top in price but still something that would do the job. If you could give me any suggestions or input as to something you would choose I would greatly appreciate it so much with you expert advice. Thanks for your time and for the videos you make. I hope you have a great day and weekend ahead of you. Take care Ride safe and God Bless.

No image stabilization is a non starter for me because I use action cameras strictly on my motorcycles so stabilization is important to me. I have the Akaso Brave 6 plus and have the V50X on the way. I like the integral camera mount on the V50X, but don't need audio so it's lacking audio quality isn't an issue for me.

It is also possible that a super cheap camera might not be the greatest. It is an action camera, right? That means it is for action, not walking slowly and being paranoid not to shake. What is it used for? Akaso is notorious for terrible audio. This camera looks like a perfect toy for kids to learn how to take video. Useless for action, don't you think? Useful for photos, though.

Thank you for mentioning the audio sync issues. I'm having problems with video syncing up with 30 fps low resolution cameras when trying to play instruments right now. More specifically, something just doesn't look right when I play the piano on a video. I was hoping 60 fps would help with that but if this camera has problems with syncing to begin with, it might not be worth the trouble. I actually use separate audio equipment and use PowerDirector 14 to sync the externally recorded audio with the poor audio in the camcorders/webcams, etc...
