AKASO Brave 4 Pro 4K30FPS Action Camera – 131ft Waterproof Camera with Touch Screen Advanced EIS Remote Control 5X Zoom Underwater Camera – Grey

Good value
Very good value item particularly when compared to the well know opposition. Useful screens (front and rear) and intuitive controls. Seems robust and recorded picture quality looks good even on a large flat screen tv. I’m using mainly to record walks and holidays rather than action as such and the compact size makes the camera easy to transport. Delivered with a multitude of accessories which should cover most of the ways to mount the camera and also a spare battery. Image stabilisation is OK so far but not yet tried in more challenging ways (such as the handlebars on my bike). I bought the external mic separately though this is only really needed if audio is a major factor for use.

Great action camera
This is obviously not a top tier premium camera, but with that there isn’t much to dislike. All of my experience is from using the camera as a helmet cam on my motorbike. The image quality is very good. Image stabilisation works very well and I’ve had no issues with the waterproof case. Unfortunately the waterproof case gives no ability to use an external mic, and travelling at between 40 – 70mph gives far to much wind noise during playback.Night mode is fairly good, though my bikes dash does impact the exposure somewhat.Battery life is good. I’d prefer it to be more but 1 battery lasts at least 1.5h on 1080p30fps.My biggest problem with the camera is actually to do with the time/date setting. It keeps resetting to the start of the year. Seems to not be related to removing the battery either.In addition to the cameras pros, it also comes with software for your phone (or probably tablet but I downloaded it on my phone.) The software is free, and far exceeds anything I expected from either accompanying or moreso, free software. You can alter audio, and video with multiple layers and overlays. Export in multiple formats. Again. Just great.

Really good value.
So far I have only used this mounted on my cycle at leisurly pace to and from work. I have tested it indoors and it doesn’t like low-light conditions, I am told most action cams don’t. As always, some experimentation will be required to get the right settings for what suits you. For my bike, I have it set 1080p x 60fps. This gives a better opportunity to freeze-frame a number plate for example than 1080p x 30fps, but creates a smaller file size than 120fps.It has some great features, all of which can be found in on-line videos (not by me).At the settings I use it with, each battery lasts almost 2 hours.So, what will I use it for? Well, as said, attached to my bike for general documentation of rides, I also want to head mount it to document my drone flying sessions and intend to take it camping soon where there is a pub which has a shallow, clear fish pond, so an opportunity for some underwater shots there.Action cam Vs Phone camera. I ain’t gonna lie, your phone camera prob takes better vids & pics BUT, my phone for example costs more to replace shoul it get dropped or lost, does not have image stablization, is not weather / waterproof, is a pain to mount anywhere and it is important to me that is has battery life when I’m in the middle of nowhere.Summary – Great little camera for the price. Loads of accessories, two batteries which can be charged at the same time (or just charge the one in the cam) and lots of features.

EIS is brilliant
Well worth the price I was so happy with the video footage and picture quality this little camera produces, the EIS is very steady and super smooth. I comes with lots of accessories and a waterproof case.

Recently bought – it turn off after 1 minutes using a go kart – I believe it is a faulty product – now I don’t know how to solve this through Amazon – not happy at all

Video and photo are clear. Stabilization is good. Price is right.
