AKASOBrave 4 Action Camera, Ultra HD with EIS 30m Underwater Camcorder 4K 20MP WiFi Waterproof Camera with Remote Control, 2 Rechargeable Batteries and Mounting Accessories Kit

The media could not be loaded. So as a TV and Film professional and lecturer I have always been interested in these GoPro Alternatives (Clones). Up until now the SJ3000 has probably been the best cheap alternative and while it is still cheaper than the AKASO, it really falls a long way short of the quality. For this review I asked my students to take it out and also give me their opinions as they use GoPros a lot in their work.Firstly out of the box we were all amazed by the range of accessories and the two batteries. The students also really liked the back screen and the wristband. They then set of with a car mount to film some driving to see how well it would work at speed. The set up they chose was 1080p at 60fps although this camera does have both 2k and 4k options, however they are big fans of 60fps for YouTube. After driving around for an hour they came back to view the footage and we were blown away with the quality at this price. They honestly felt it was up with a GoPro, personally I felt it was fantastic but the sky didn't quite have the contrast I would have liked. However the white balance was set to auto and perhaps setting it to 'cloudy day' would have given better results. Furthermore internal shots in our building were amazing, the quality here was certainly comparable to the GoPro.The motion was incredibly smooth and although the camera handled the bumps well, we later found that it has a gyroscope that we could have turned on to improve the smoothness.With so many options and settings this camera does really tick all the boxes for someone who is looking to film some sports or wants a GoPro but doesn't need the high-end quality I sometimes require for client work. Overall it is a very impressive camera for the price point and one of my students has already purchased one after the test.Good Points- Excellent quality- Wide range of setting including my favorites 4k, 1080p@60 and 720p@120fps- Inbuilt gyroscope- Waterproof- Wifi- Wrist strap- Excellent accessoriesAnd if you watch the rest video remember Amazon hugly compresses the video quality as it is not a hosting site. The actual video is very crisp.I hope you found this review helpful.

Well packaged and comes with a huge number of accessories including a really sturdy waterproof enclosure and kit to fit to my ski helmet. Taken skiing and yes it IS waterproof! A nice touch was the wrist remote control so I could start and stop recording without needing to fiddle with the camera itself. The picture quality is extremely good, and only a little shaky - which you would expect from an extreme sport. I was initially going to buy a GoPro but took a chance on this, and for the price quite honestly I'm amazed. Best purchase I've made in quite a while and highly recommend.

Had this about a month now and use it for my cycle to work and back ,I'm a shift worker so plenty of night time cycle witch is the only thing that let's this down is using it at night, just remember this is a cheap budget camera and for that it works great during day light hours, if your gonna use this at night just make sure what your recording is properly lit up , or you have decent cycle lights to light up the way or you have good street lighting or else your not recording much, apart from that one thing, it's a good bit of kit for price , connecting to phone with WiFi and using app is straight forward, just remember this ain't no go pro but the next best thing on a budget , comes with lots of attachments for everything you'll need to attach it to .if it had better night time recording I'd of give it 5 stars , but if it's never gonna be used at night you'll be fine with it .

Bought this to primarily take on holiday with me, the camera works really well. videos are particularly great even if sound isn't captured that well when using the waterproof case (which is understandable). When the camera has been in the water, subsequent pictures out of the water aren't very clear due to water marks and residue left on the lens, which is again is understandable but i have never had another action camera to compare it to so maybe the case's lens should be better at clearing? I could never get it to work with any app via it's wifi function though which is disappointing. And even after only using it for 2 weeks intermittently, it's stopped playing video back on the camera itself. Removing the memory card and putting it into my phone was how i got around this but not something you want to be fiddling with on the Fly. In addition the wrist remote stopped working, i did use it in the water but thought this is one place where it would be ideal to use and hadn't seen any warnings about it not being waterproof, but now that doesn't work as a result. So the remote not working, no app compatibility and video playback ceasing to function has warranted the 3 stars from me. The Camera is still a great piece of kit but unfortunately the above have detracted form the camera itself.UPDATE:Akaso got in contact with me and sent me out a brand new Brave 4 after reading my review, they did clarify that the bluetooth wrist wrap remote isn't waterproof which i still find a bit disappointing given it'd be ideal for using underwater, however i can't complain about a replacement item, it was within warranty and shouldn't have stopped playing back video, but their customer service has been excellent and i still get to keep the old camera even when it only has the playback fault. GREAT!
