AKASO V50X Native 4K30fps WiFi Action Camera with EIS Touch Screen 4X Zoom 131 feet Waterproof Camera Support External Mic Remote Control with Helmet Accessories (Without 64GB MicroSD Card)

Saw this camera reviewed by somebody on YouTube, was stunned at the price for the features this little unit offers. No, it is not a Hero-whatever-Black, but that's a good thing. Oh, you actually LIKE spending a few hundred dollars on a camera that freezes repeatedly and dumps that sweet shot you'll never pull off again in your lifetime, and is small enough to get lost in a heartbeat? Cool, the line for Juicero is right over there, make sure you get in on that too! This little bugger isn't perfect, but if you've always wondered what all the hype was about with action cameras, but couldn't justify FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a tiny video camera, this camera is a wonderful entry point to the field. It's all about balance and compromise sometimes, but this camera brings some top tier features to what used to be the bottom-of-the-barrel price point. 4k at 30fps (higher framerates if you fall back in resolution of course), as well as some pretty good stabilization and even timelapse and slo-mo features! Battery life is not too bad, about 90 minutes of recording time at high resolution and framerates, but the batteries are tiny and cheap. Two batteries and a charger came with the camera, and I got another pair of batteries for way less than $20. Again, it's all about compromise; you're not going to get 5 hours of run time out of cells this size. The video quality is seriously good for such a small package! Now, I also have a Google Pixel 6 Pro, and while it's true the video output from the phone is pretty far above what this camera can do, the fact remains that I will never take my phone out snorkeling, kayaking or canoeing, and definitely won't strap it to the top of my car for an interesting road trip timelapse, either! I'm really looking forward to having a durable little all-weather action cam with us to capture whatever interesting things we might see on our coming adventures!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great action camera for the price! The AKASO V50X records clear 4K videos, has good stabilization, and is very easy to use. I love that it comes with accessories and the waterproof case makes it perfect for vacations, swimming, and outdoor adventures. A great affordable option that works really well!

I bought two of these for $85 each when I saw the lightning deal. I do have some experience with older GoPros but these are the first relatively modern action cams with WiFi, touch screen, 4k resolution etc. that I have used. Here are my impressions: The bad: So far I haven't gotten any usable audio recordings. This hasn't been much of a problem for me yet but at some point I may be. I ordered the external mic but have yet to receive it. The battery life has been disappointing. It meets my expectations when shooting video but I expected more standby time for taking pictures and longer life while making time lapse videos. The touch screen user interface does work pretty well and would probably be fine for someone with small hands but I find that it requires a bit of concentration with my big clumsy man hands. That said, I think it works about as well as can be expected for a 2" screen. Also, I think some small improvements could make these much less fragile. Some simple changes like covers for the Micro SD slot + cord inputs and case protrusions around the perimeters of the lens and screen would go along way toward preventing incidental damage while outside of the protective case. The good: For this price point I am pleased with the quantity of features and resolution options. It will take more experimentation to learn how to utilize them better but so far all of them seem functional. After other reviewers claimed that 128GB data cards were working for them I tried and found the same. I have used both 64 gig and 128 gig Samsung EVO select microSDXC cards with good results. The reviews for use of WiFi via the RoadCam app were so bad that I had really low expectations but I have found it to work as claimed. It doesn't allow you to setup the camera variables or do any sort of editing but I'm fine with that. After getting the camera setup through it's own interface the app will show what the camera is seeing and allow starting and stopping of recording or shooting of still photos and review of those photos and/or video and allow them to be deleted or cropped. That's all I was expecting and it works for me on my cheap Motorola G5+ Android phone. As I write this I'm shooting a sunrise time lapse video while the camera is powered by an external battery pack. All in all I'm satisfied so far.

I got the Akaso V50x for our family holidays and also our upcoming Christmas Ski Trip. Akaso is simply the best pick for what’s available in the market for this budget price range. It offers the most and value for your money. The included package comes with a bag of accessories that have all the mountings that you’ll need to get started with. Additionally it comes with 2 batteries and a duel charger. You won’t find these free bundles from other action cameras in the market. The V50x is a big improvement over previous Akaso models. It’s got a nice size touch screen and easy to navigate user interface. The outdoor photos and video quality under good sunlight are awesome and is better than many other high end action cameras, but when under low light conditions the V50x still suffers the same poor quality that all action cameras does. Under low light I consider the V50x perform average or slightly above average. What you’ll find above in all the true gem of this camera is the image stabilization functions. The image stabilization is top notch and probably only the GoPro Hero Black 6 or above can top it. Under good outdoor sunlight condition the superior image stabilization will perform at its best and in fact outperform many others above its price range. The V50x does have its downside, the audio sound quality captured is simply horrible or couldn’t be heard. You can probably boost up the recorded audio a bit after using your video editing software but the out of the box functionality is simply horrible. Akaso does offer an external microphone and it does improve the audio quality significantly and resolve this inadequacy, but this is far from desire and I did contact Akaso and they did reply that a newer upcoming firmware later will fix this audio flaw. Although the image stabilization is the gem of this product however it does perform inconsistently under different mode. It performs at its best under 4K 30fps mode but only average in 1080p 60fps. It is not available at all for 2K video or at the higher 1080p 90fps mode which would be my preference to record for most situation. Nevertheless none of these does stop me from loving this action camera. The Akaso V50x is simply the BEST $100 action camera for amateurs to intermediate users and you’ll not be disappointed.

As a 70-year-old who loves getting out on my e-bike to explore local town paths and nature trails, finding a camera that is easy to use and tough enough for the ride is a game-changer. The AKASO V50X has become my favorite riding companion for capturing the beautiful landscapes and adventures along the way. The video quality is absolutely spectacular. Whether I am filming in native 4K at 30fps, 2.7K at 30fps, or using the smooth 2K at 60fps, it captures the vibrant colors of the trees, skies, and trails in stunning ultra HD. What I appreciate most while riding is the built-in Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). E-bikes can get moving pretty fast, and trails can get bumpy, but this clever feature completely smooths out the vibrations, leaving me with steady, professional-looking footage of my journeys. The design is incredibly user-friendly, too. The intuitive touch screen is bright and simple to navigate, which is wonderful when I want to quickly adjust settings on the fly. I also love the adjustable view angle; I can set it to a super-wide angle to capture a sweeping valley view, or narrow it down to focus on the trail ahead. Battery life is another huge plus. It comes with two rechargeable 1350mAh batteries that provide up to 180 minutes of recording time. That is more than enough power to cover my longest rides without worrying about running out of juice halfway through a scenic route. For any fellow senior adventurers looking to document their outdoor travels, the AKASO V50X is a reliable, high-quality, and incredibly fun camera to have mounted on your handlebars or chest mount.

I have a small YouTube channel that started 9 months ago with a Yi Lite action camera. From that statement you should be able to tell that I'm cheap and I shied away from spending many hundreds on a camera for a channel that may never go any where. After I lost days of audio on the Yi camera when it disabled the mic for some unknown reason, I knew I needed to change cameras. That's when I bought my first V50X. Yes, my first. I now have 2 V50X cameras and use both to capture multiple camera angles for my videos. Do that with Go Pro cameras and you'd go broke. I added the Akaso external mic and that's when my video quality improved to the point that my viewers made comments about the improved audio. That's a great feature of the V50X is its ability to use the external mic, although so far I've only been able to get the Akaso microphone to work. Still, most all other cameras at this price don't offer anything but their internal mics and that limits many recording situations as far as quality audio goes. The video quality on the V50X is outstanding and the image stabilization is top notch. I accidentally disabled the image stabilization feature recently and the video was difficult to watch with lot of movement. With stabilization turned on, videos are smooth and even walking can look great. I barely use my Gimbal anymore because of how buttery smooth the recordings are using the V50X. The accessory set that the V50X comes with is great especially the dual batteries, battery charger and the waterproof case. All in all, this camera is an excellent value for the low cost and I recommend it to other vloggers. UPDATE: It's now September of 2020 and I've been successfully using my 2 Akaso V50X cameras to film all of my Youtube videos. My channel has modestly grown and one of the reasons for its success is that my video & audio quality improved once I started using the Akaso cameras. The biggest part of that improvement was the external microphone that the V50X uses - Youtube viewers will tell you that the audio is more important than the video and I believe that! If you want to shoot 1080P at high frame rates (up to 90fps) or 4K video and you don't want to spend the high prices on GoPro cameras, the Akaso V50X is for you. After many months of use, I would recommend this camera to everyone!

I purchased this camera on the recommendation of several review sites that I researched for purchases that were less cost than a traditional GoPro branded camera. The V50X is a capable little camera. I used mostly the 1080/2K/4K video modes as we took it on a trip to the Southwest US. I attached it to a shoulder holster of my backpack for some great hiking video. It performs very well in good lighting and acceptable in low/dim light. The microphone is acceptable when recording audio within say, 6 feet of the camera, beyond that is very faint. This can be augmented with two things: 1) the alternative back cover for the housing (however this negates the waterproof ability and and dust protect from the fully sealed back. 2) the optional $10 microphone, but this however isn't able to be used in the housing at all, as the USB port is covered when in the housing. It does have an accessory mounting screw hole directly on the camera (see pictures) so you can attach it to accessories without it being in the housing, which is good because there is no alternate housing available, that i could find at least - as you can find for GoPro cameras. Just a couple things to keep in mind or that effected our use. 1) There is no alternative housing that I could find. You must attach it to accessories via the on-board screw hole and leave it bare-naked. it is rubberized so it might withstand mist/dust, but without the waterproof housing it is in now way resistant to much else, especially drenching or submerging. 2) It is very particular about SD cards. The FAQ states that it needs UHS-3 SD card of 64gb max size. But I found that I only had modest success with these requirements. I took 3 cards with me on the last trip (2 @ UHS3 and 1 USH1) all name brand Lexar, Samsung, Sandisk. I was faced with two problems, as might be expected the USH1 would only record at 4k for 15-30 seconds before giving me an error regarding speed. I could lower the bitrate to 1080@20fps and have more success. Most disappointing was the cards legitimately marked USH3 exhibited the same issue, although less often. I would often have to restart video recording because of hte "slow speed" error. And 2/5 times the recording could not be started again and i wouldn't be able to record until I tried a new card. What I ultimately had to resort to was brand new USH-3/A1/V30 and V90 cards. (see the SD Association's guide to video recording on SD - https://bit.ly/2KKAqQQ). What you really need are V30/60/90 rated cards (UHS3 as well). Once I replaced any of the cards I took with these, i have yet to have issues. My last and only true frustration: probably related and connected to the SD card performance, was when changing cards the camera always insisting on formatting the card for usage. I could have used that card for a short video earlier that day (aka...not using very much of the 64gb) and it would insist on formatting before it would let me record later on that day or if I changed the card. It meant that I had to be very attentive to saving off any video the preceding evening before wanting to use it the following day, making sure the cards were empty or able to be formatted for the following day. It seemed that if the SD card had any recordings already on it that it could not index or calculate how much space was remaining to be used and resorting to telling you to format. This messed up several mid-trail hikes footage. Once I replaced the cards with the V30 rated cards, I have not noticed this behavior again. I can recommend this camera as an effective, budget conscious, quality alternative to more higher cost "name branded" action cameras. In my opinion it is a perfect option for those on a budget yet still have 4K video performance needs. An Excellent value for the cost.

I bought this as a cheaper alternative to a GoPro for our family vacation to Costa Rica. For the most part, I was very pleased with it. PROS: Easy to use. Image stabilization worked great-when it worked. Accomplished the mission. Max settings resulted in very vivid, crystal clear video. I didn’t even use the special under-water setting as normal was good enough. CONS: After formatting the micro-sd card per the manual, I captured a bunch of footage. Then out of the blue, a message popped up saying the card needs to be formatted. This was a little shocking. I chose to roll the dice and keep filming instead of losing my footage.... For the first half of the trip, I chose medium resolution settings to get decent footage while not draining card space. This was a mistake- the footage was very grainy and yellow-tinted. For the second half of the trip I filmed everything on max settings, which came out great. The stand/selfie stick mounting hole on the bottom of the camera is far off to one side, throwing the center of gravity off, which can be a little awkward. This problem goes away if you buy an accessory pack as the water-proof case mounts in the center. Speaking of... If you plan on using this in muddy or wet conditions, the camera is not water proof. You will need a case, which means you won’t be able to record any audio while it’s in it. My brother in law had the newest water proof Hero and was able to record audio, so I was a little bummed out about that. I highly recommend buying an accessory pack along with the camera. Be warned though, most if not all packs have a very cheap flimsy selfie stick. I chose to buy a higher-end selfie stick with a built in tripod, remote, and universal smart phone holder from Blitzwolf, and that was probably the best decision I made as for planning my trip. Over all I recommend this camera because it is a great budget alternative compared to the more expensive ones on the market.

Amazing & Totally Worth It! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really impressed with this AKASO camera! The quality is amazing, the performance is excellent, and it feels like a great value for the money. Perfect for travel, bike rides, and everyday adventures. Definitely worth buying and highly recommended! 🔥📸

Tiene buena resolución y un ángulo muy amplio, la estoy ocupando para grabar viajes en mi vehículo. Grabar durante en día con ella resulta genial, el problema son las escenas o grabaciones durante la noche, se aprecia mucho ruido o granulación en la grabación. Por todo lo demás bien.

Amazing video quality. Sound is okay but a mic should sort that out. Really easy to use and great value for money

Regular pois não tem boa portabilidade

I have used this mostly for my bike rides and in the waterproof casing. I can say the stability is good and video quality (4k@30) is very decent. The wide angle pictures have come out great and is a very useful feature to capture scenery and the likes when your on rides. The buttons and UI are easy to use and simple. The mic although is awful, i could still hear my bikes exhaust in the videos but ofcourse not so clearly. Maybe without the case it will sound clearer though the wind blast can make it bad. I have yet to test it without case as I’m scared of water going in and rendering it useless (still monsoons in india). For the price i’d say go for it as a first action cam to test your own skills and then maybe spend on the more expensive gopros once you’ve got the hang of using an action cam.
