I had this camera for a year and bought another one for back up batteries. The footage is awesome from this thing.

[@coloradocatchcleanandcook3426]

Thank you so much for this review I have had to return 3 cameras that weren't even close to what they claim I'm sure your well aware of the Interpolation used in cheaper cameras so they can claim 20 megapixels when in fact they don't even have a 1 megapixel sensor. I did some deeper digging on this The AKASO EK7000 action camera and has a 1/2.3 inch CMOS image sensor and has 8 useable megapixel which is only 2 less than my GoPro Hero 7 was. Anyways huge thank you this camera will have to do for now I can't afford a new 600$ GoPro and making fishing content is how I earn my living.

[@chrislusbytaylor3197]

My experience is the same as yours. I just bought both an EK7000 and an EK7000Pro. I've tested the still photos. Both claim to have 20megapixel modes, although the manual for the non-Pro says 12MP. Both are hardly any better than their 4MP modes. Definitely interpolating, which is certainly not mentioned in AKASO's documentation or advertisements. I feel cheated. But, as my uses will be as dashcams, I'm not sure how important image quality is and I have to say I'm impressed at all the accessories you get.

[@jsdequipment]

I bought one to do you tube videos for my mobile equipment repair business and I gotta say it's not what I thought, the EIS is my only complaint, it doesn't work very well for stabilization.... I may return and get a real go pro

[@risquecat]

It would be nice to see how you get the cam off the box

[@kevinpatrickmeneses2004]

How did you remove the clear case from that assembly on the box?

[@RaquelNavas]

Can you guess what I just bought from Amazon 4:06 😂😁😮

[@yuliiamarushchak2366]

Saved me !! Thank you soo much

[@MugcoffeeSS]

good job mate, thanks just bought something similar...

[@Black-ice_fpv]

Great brand, dont see the need for gopro when you have this, it really dont show any different on youtube

[@shawng6415]

Does it alsonwork as a camera and take good pictures

[@hisandherscoaching]

does it come with the microSD card? Or do you have to buy that separately?

[@Simblz_yt]

seperate im pretty sure

[@PrashantSharma-mv6be]

Very cool. I intend to use this while biking or as a dash cam for my car. Seems overall you had concerns with underwater only?

[@vandos11]

I have this camera and it does great job

[@I.O.M.]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@VikingsChic1]

I bought this for my hiking trip to New Zealand. If it takes decent video and lasts at least 2 weeks then it's worth the 53 bucks.

[@fixedfocusmediaofficial]

That condensation might not be from water. Mine had the same thing just from recording outside on a sunny day without any exposure to moisture.

[@Techjunkie51]

I’m looking at this to record doing tattoos, can you have external power like a power bank plugged into it for longer sessions since the batteries only last around 90 minutes?

[@grimdawg83]

I believe you can. I have the brave 7 le. And I attach a battery to it via a micro USB for long fishing trip on the lake.

[@save4vlogs]

Wow, a game changer for budget cameras from a good enough brand. To say or advise anyone to try and buy it for basic use. At a really economical price , In my channel, there are reviews of budget cameras like these.

[@lennyboy57]

Got one but can't hear audio when it's in waterproof case. What mic should I use

[@AlleEinsteigen]

does this camera support live stream?

[@SamEbby]

BOUGHT!

[@shakib1971-w3c]

is it working good

[@SamEbby]

@@shakib1971-w3c no! Terrible choice

[@viral_shrt]

@@SamEbby really?

[@andrearamosramos134]

LOL me too just brought it

[@allnamesaretaken]

@@SamEbby 😂

[@MagnumDB]

So it’s basically a dash cam. It Looks exactly like how dash cams advertised as being 4K look. It’s not the same quality of 4K that you would find in a camera, it’s not really even as good as most modern smart phone cameras. But as others to say, it seems to be a great deal for the price. A lot of accessories, waterproof, and really shouldn’t be amazing content in front of the lens People are paying attention to, not the video quality?

[@JoshDunlap-p9q]

A Rode Wireless Pro works with this camera? I thought Akaso mics were the only ones that worked.

[@FatherLamb]

It would work for some on a budget, but its no insta360. It is overly sharp in areas it shouldn't be and when close up in lower light, the details are all gone in things. That rock with the cameras was a perfect example.

[@leanneknowles2290]

Hi i bought this a few weeks ago and bought a couple of sd cards... can i format the sd cards in this or do i have to do it on a laptop or pc furst before i use them in this akaso.. thanks... im still trying to figure out how to put it in a normal mount as its in the waterproof mount at the minute 😒

[@MattTofts]

There's a menu option to format on the camera in settings when you first put the SD card in

[@CameraTest4U]

little bit of footage please more sample footage from this camera

[@Kaylee_xr]

Hi um do U know what micro SD to use I don't know lf to use 32gbs or 64gbs

[@PreciousBoxer]

Mine formatted with 128gb micro SD, but super confusing to use. The app was of zero assistance at all.

[@Kaylee_xr]

@@PreciousBoxer oh ok thanks but on Amazon it says it needs 64gbs so I think ima use that but thanks anyway

[@NathanHay-x4l]

Every time I try to transfer the video to my phone all the clips are laggy

[@tabbyslu]

How dif you get to setting

[@RaquelNavas]

How do I format

[@vandos11]

press mode until the wrench icon is on screen then arrow up down to format select yes and format done

[@Mind-The-Doors]

Did you just clip a FoxTailWhipz video or are you the guy 😭

[@adamharig]

It’s me 😆

[@JohannesNielsen]

​@@adamharigLooks good enough for what I need to begin.

[@merty5252]

Can you take photos with it

[@MrSpark26]

Yes

[@sage8183]

didnt last me a month😭. it wont turn on again

[@Owin_3D]

It is NOT $50

[@jsdequipment]

Not in the great white north for sure, mine was 139, and that was on sale, mind you the go pros are 6-700 here.

[@Nate-fy5cq]

Seems to be whale proof also
