I think I'm on board to buy the EK7000. My original intent was to buy a GoPro 8 that would handle blogging as well as being able to take a seat in my radio controlled motor boats for the various points of view from the cockpit. When I bought an iPhone 13 everything changed. I realized I could use that camera for my blogging and if I wanted I could place it in the boats. Thing is, if something happens it's a $149.00 deductable for a new iPhone. For a third of the price I can buy the Akaso for all the onboard footage I need, and if something happens I'm only out $50.00 and not $150.00 Also the fact it doesn't have stabilization is big plus in my situation.

They are 13 and 10 and want to make children's/gaming videos to post on KZbin and the like. I'm heavily leaning towards this cheaper option to get them started in their hobby. It sounds, from your conclusions, that you suggest this camera for them to start with as well!? I would be very upset if they broke or destroyed the more expensive camera where as with this one, no tears need to be shed. Any more advice or input would be greatly appreciated. This camera has been sitting in my shopping cart for a few months while I decide which option would be best for them to start with.

If you give this camera enough light it will do a decent job. Even £20 on a decent LED or CFL light will help if filming indoors. I'd record sound separately and sync the audio if they look up how to do that. A smartphone maybe a better option though overall if they don't need the ruggedness of an action camera. Hooking up with a cheap Lavalier mic avoids the syncing and old iPhones or Samsung still have pretty good cameras. But more light indoors is still important ...

Firstly, top marks for speedy replies to questions which is more than can be said for a great many others on KZbin. I got this for my pal to video her new house being built. The idea was to use the time-lapse function. She had it set on photo and not video. Had a look in the manual which isn't a lot of help and some videos say the option isn't available but there may have been updates on the model since the videos were made. It should be possible to set it to film every sixty seconds but I have no access to the camera. Are you able you tell me how you do this or give a link to the steps needed so I can pass it on to my pal? Thanks in anticipation. TCL

Thanks THECORBYLOON! Check the manual page 5: www.akasotech.com/usermanual/ek7000.pdf. You'll need to join the images into a video yourself but it's not difficult.

@@TheTechnologyMan Thanks for the reply. On page 7 it says the time lapse is up to 60s for video so what is the difference between the video and photo settings if it takes photos in both?
@TheTechnologyMan4 жыл бұрын
@@THECORBYLOON Time lapse is just taking a series of photos with your chosen interval between those photos. You then to to stitch it into a video - the camera doesn't do that for you.

Try reducing the playback speed to 0.75x - KZbin does a good job on this. And you can enable captions - I have full transcripts for every video. Hope that helps.

i have the akaso ek7000 and when I record a video it only allows 15-minute segments and starts a new file. Is there a way to change this? I use this for recording softball games and one game I had over 20 clips.
@TheTechnologyMan2 жыл бұрын
That's a limit on the way the SD cards are formatted (FAT32) - there is a 4GB limit on file size. There is no workaround for this camera. You could use a video editor or a tool like www.mp4joiner.org/en/ (not tried this specifically) to join the files together.
