Brave 7 LE Action Camera with 64GB microSDXC Memory Card - 4K 20MP Touch Screen WiFi Sports Camera with Remote Control for Vlogging

Update after more than a year of use The camera may be old but, after a year of use, I decided to update the review because I actually grew very fond of it. The camera offers an amazing value for money and a rich set of features. The other positive reviews cover the gist. It is very reliable and well made. I never had any issue with it and it survived a couple of hard falls at speed on tarmac. During daylight, the video is clear even at the low resolutions and the colours bright and pleasant. Lots of settings to play with and get the desired results whether it's video, photos or slow mo etc. The killer feature for me were the two batteries and the dual charger. That would give me more than two full hours of solid video recording, which matters to me. It also comes with an extensive set of mounts and adapters covering very different uses. It's also easy to attache it on some gopro mounts which was useful for me as I had a set of 3d printed custom mounts and the transition was seamless. For the record, I had two complains: One was solved after a bit of experimentation and it was that I would often stop the camera unknowingly by touching the screen. I figured out that when you have lock enabled AND start the recording with the button instead works perfectly as it will only stop the recording by pressing the button. The second was that it would lose the date/time when left without batteries an issue. This may be solved by their support, in which case I will update. Finally, the communications I had with the company regarding had been top quality indicative of a top notch support.

Great value camera..my second Akaso. Taken it scubs diving, cycling and snorkeling with some excellent photos. Great better value alternative to GoPro

This is a very good camera with great features at a good price. The camera is nice and soild not sure if it's made of metal but it feels like it. It turns on in one second floor which is nice and fast The image stabilisation is a must, I have my camera on top of my cycle helmet and the video is very smooth. It comes with two batteries so you never run out of power. It comes with loads of attachments to help fit it to your bike or helmet. The only negatives are the hatch for the battery compartment has foam underneath and this makes it very difficult to open and You have to use two hands and prise it open with your finger nail as it's very stiff and when in the plastic case you don't hear anything from the microphone. But it's waterproof without the case so you don't have to use it That said I am very impressed with this camera and I highly recommend it to anyone. Having used this for a while now I find it very frustrating that I cannot open the charging port door without using a knife, I have now had to cut away the waterproof pad under the door just to use it

This was bought a while back for my birthday and I've only just been able to use it.. So far, I've used the camera twice and I'm pleased with the video quality. The camera set up was relatively easy. However... It comes with a gazillion mounts and to be honest I would have preferred to pay less and have no mounts as most are of no use to me - in fact the one that I did want turned out to be of no use to me, too. The bike mount - it will only fit old diameter handlebars (25mm or less). A lot of handlebars (I'd say most) are now approx 32mm. The supplied mount won't get anywhere near that. I contacted the seller through Amazon and the only method was Live Chat which took an eternity as it seemed they only had the one agent. Their recommendation was for me to buy one of their mounts for £30! Great - somebody has just bought me a camera with more mounts than Lester Piggott but I need to buy another. No apologies for selling a mount that wouldn't fit the majority of bikes, just the above recommendation. I ended up buying a third party mount for less than £10 which, to be honest, isn't great as the mounting point on the camera is on the left edge of the base meaning the holding screw had to be really tight or the camera swings around. No matter how tight I tightened the screw, the camera swivelled. But that's the third party mount's fault... I was pleased with the video quality of the bits I recorded in between the camera spinning around. I had to buy a good SD card reader as my cheap Amazon card reader was too slow and the videos were freezing to buffer every few seconds. This would probably be the same with any camera of this quality, to be fair. I can't get the SD card out of the camera to insert into my wonderful card reader without using tweezers as it catches on the camera casing. Fortunately my wife still plucks her eyebrows rather than having the more modern caterpillars stapled to her forehead so I was able to pinch her tweezers. The camera app worked easily but didn't seem to be the same as the one on the YouTube instructional video. I don't use it anyway. So, if you buy this camera to put on your bike, you'll need to buy a mount if your handlebars are more than 25mm in diameter. Apart from that, whoever buys the camera will need a decent card reader to view the videos on a PC/laptop. And don't forget eyebrow tweezers to remove the SD card.

I'd considered getting an action camera for a number of years, but had always talked myself out of it. I couldn't justify spending Go Pro prices in case I lost it or misplaced it - I'm a nightmare for losing thinkings. I finally took the plunge and went for AKASO Brave 7 LE Action Camera based on reviews and the price point. I wasn't worried about amazing quality but wanted something to record my paddleboard adventures, so that I could share them with my wife - she's not as mobile due to long term illness, but this would mean she could still get the enjoyment of the river or sea paddles. After using the camera for the past year, the video quality has been great and the built in microphone has been acceptable. I've used the camera both with and without the case and the camera has functioned fine - if anything on really hot days the camera has felt slightly hotter when in the case. The remote is a nice touch and really handy for starting and ending recordings. There are numerous accessories that come with the camera to suit different sports. The dual batteries are a nice touch as well and I've found the battery life is adequate. The only thing that I'd say is a must and highly recommend is to get a camera float - I learnt the hard way. I had an issue where the mount failed and my camera sunk to the bottom and I couldn't find it. However, Akaso's customer service was exceptional and exceeded my expectations - after speaking with them they offered to replace the camera , and they sent me a replacement out, so can't fault them in any way.

This product is a very good alternative to a go pro. I bought this originally for to capture moments on horse back, I now bring it everywhere I go. It’s also able to capture great moments when swimming as the waterproof case is really strong and sturdy. The case takes a little while to figure it out but is completely sealed and won’t let a drop of water in. I have not taken the case off for fear of it getting wet while out and about but the camera itself is supposed to be waterproof. Came very soon after I purchased which I was super happy about. Also came with a lot of accessories which I did not expect (see attached pictures), however there was a few parts missing which was originally said on the box like a USB cable, was also supposed to come with 8 mounts which I did not receive. The battery lasts really long which is very useful when going on long trecks, it also comes with 2 battery’s so you get double the amount of time. The battery charges up really quickly and you get a little over 1 hour at 4k (longer at lower resolutions). Coming from a person who doesn’t understand a lot about different settings for different situations the default settings on the camera pretty much suffice every situation. (You can however play around with it and the AKASO website provides a lot of information) It also comes with an easy guide to set up and you can download the detailed manual if you wish. The AKASO go app was really easy to find, install and connect up to my camera. Took about 5 minutes and your able to control the camera from the app which is really useful for taking pictures or videos far away from the camera, this is useful for not having super long videos until you get set up which also saves on battery’s and editing time later. The camera also comes with a remote watch to control the whether you want to take a picture or a video. The sound on the camera is a lot better than I expected, it picks up you speaking really clearly and it doesn’t pick up the sound of the wind which I was afraid of. All in all very happy with my purchase and I would recommend as a cheaper alternative to the go pro cameras.

I wanted to upgrade from my basic action camera but still didn’t feel I could justify the cost of the mainstream brand. I saw this, watched some reviews and thought it must be too good to be true for the money (but then that would have meant all of the reviews were wrong.) I decided to give it ago and see for myself and I wasn’t disappointed. Simple to use and navigate. Build quality is excellent, accessories galore and comes with two batteries and a charger. Image and video quality is fantastic compared to what I was used to and for someone who just wants to record and enjoy holiday trips and days out, this provides excellent footage. The main test will be when we go on our regular safari game drive holiday early next year and it’s mounted to our car over rough terrain - an added benefit is that I don’t need to worry about the chance of rain and putting it inside it’s case. I’m yet to try out the waterproof capacity without the case when swimming but to be honest, I’d probably use the case anyway for that added protection. A word of advice though - don’t make the mistake I made initially. I watched some footage back on the camera and was dissatisfied with the sound and video quality. Once you view/download onto your phone, tablet or computer etc, all your worries will go away. Obviously the speaker and screen on the camera can only do so much. I don’t know how Akaso have packed so much into something so small and kept the price down. Whilst those more professional than me may see the difference against top end models, 99% of people like me will just love this.

Poor quality.
