AKASO Brave 6 Plus Native 4K30FPS 20MP WiFi Action Camera with Touch Screen EIS Voice Control Remote Control 131 Feet Underwater Camera with 2 Batteries and Helmet Accessories Kit

Easily the best camera for the price. Great quality footage, decent battery life and quick to use.
So I haven’t long had my camera so I haven’t given it a proper thrashing yet. But, so far so good with it. And I reckon you wont find better for the price.1) IMAGE QUALITY: The video and picture quality is pretty impressive. It is also true 4k quality at 30fps meaning it actually records in 4k, unlike slightly lower priced so called “4k” cameras like Apeman which record in 1080p and then digitally enhance to 4k which doesn’t work to well when you go faster than walking. The image stabilization is also very impressive. I bought this because I ride a motorbike and do packrafting so I was expecting loads of lag and frame jumps, but it actually does really well in providing a stable smooth image. Again, you wont get go-pro perfect quality, the same way you wont get ferarri speed and build quality with an Audi. But like with Audi you still get really good quality. Its still very impressive videos, perfect for vloggers, youtube artists or people like me just starting out and want to record their advenutres. Oh and you can attach an external mic, but not when the waterproof case is on.2) BUILD: A few reviews seem to suggest that it feels light weight and plasticy but I disagree. Firstly you don’t want it to be heavy!! Secondly it’s actually not a bad feel, yes plasticy but it is made out of injection moulded plastic, and still seems sturdy. Plus it comes with the protective waterproof case, which not only makes it waterproof but also adds an addtional layer of protect. And the advantage is the waterproof case doesn’t add much on to the size either. Also bare in mind it is not waterproof or considered splashproof without the case so unless you live somewhere it doesn’t rain (im in the North of the UK so it does…. A lot!) then i’d advise basically leaving it in the case.3)BATTERY: The battery life is decent, between 60-90mins per battery (it comes with 2), depending on what settings you are using (same with any action camera). Mine usually lasts around the 90 minute mark as I make sure things like voice command, wifi and other things are turned off. Plus buying addtional batteries are cheap enough and they are nice, small and easy to store.4)ACCESSORIES: it comes with loads of accessories, most for attaching to things like bike handlebars, helmets etc, but it also inclduing a handy wrist handy remote with large enough buttons that, for example you are wearing motorbike gloves, they are easy to push when you want to start and stop a video or photo. And if like me you have your camera on the front of your packraft then you dont need to climb over to start and stop it. As mentioned it also comes with the waterproof case, and a spare door for it just in case.5)DOWNSIDES: In all honesty there are almost none. Yes they could have provided 60fps in 4k, but this would have most likely involved production cost increase resulting in a price increase. The same can be said if they’d put thin protective rubber coating to make it feel nicer or made it IP67 without the case. However my only 2 gripes, is the battery door hinge feels a little flimsy. When it is closed it is fine, but you wouldn’t want to knock or drop it when the door is open as it feels like it would easily snap the door off. So just be careful when changing batteries. Also I damaged my waterproof case (sadly not something the spare door could fix), and finding a replacement for the brave 6 pro seems to be proving very difficult. However I emailed AKASO and they are trying to source me a replacement. Most other action cameras have stolen the gopro design so you can use the gopro case. Where as the brave 6 pro has a different button configuration so the replacment case can be hard to find since you can only use a specific brave 6 pro one. This is definetly a problem for me since I go near water a lot.

A competent action camera that’s remarkably good value.
This was bought mostly to be used as a rear facing bicycle camera. I already had a GoPro Hero 9 Black used front mounted, which on the face of it costs about 3 times as much. Taking into account that the Akaso comes as part of a comprehensive kit, and the GoPro is sold as a basic camera that most users would need to buy extras for, the Gopro is actually about 4 times as expensive. It would not be fair therefore to expect the same quality and performance from the Akaso, but the temptation to compare exists.This Akaso is small, feels good quality, well designed and solid construction. It’s very flexible to use for almost any scenario with the wealth of clamps and waterproof case, all supplied. Even the waterproof case looks small and neat compared to some offerings. The camera cannot fit directly to any of the clamps, but the very neat Clip 2 securely adds a top and a base ¼” tripod boss. One minor drawback is that the camera needs to be unclipped to replace the battery, but that’s quite easy to do; no tools required.The menu with the touch screen and switches are easy to become familiar with, and there’s a good range of both video and photo quality including image stabilisation. Best is full HD +4K video at 30fps, 20 MP photos. The high end of both is very good, daylight videos and photos are excellent. Night videos are quite good and to have a bit better you would have to pay a lot more. Battery life is good after the initial couple of charges, over an hour is quite possible making video at the best quality, and with 2 batteries and twin charger supplied, many users won’t need extra batteries, although they are availa ble.Surprisingly at this price point, a remote control is supplied and there’s also voice control! Both perform well. WiFi and an app can be used for set up and other features. I would have liked to have seen a key supplied to tighten the thumbscrews. The GoPro key fits, but that is an expensive extra. If Akaso make a key I would advise using it for solid mounting. The only other extra I would consider adding to this comprehensive kit would be the external microphone for webcam use. For general use the internal mic gives adequate audio quality.My first camera was a GoPro, bought due to it’s reputation. The Akaso was bought as a second camera and I wanted much lower cost and didn’t expect top performance or quality. Th Akaso 6 plus kit far exceeded my expectations in almost every respect. I think it’s a great camera regardless of price. With the benefit of hindsight, I’d have this Akaso front and rear mounted; wouldn’t buy the ‘market leader’.I score this 5 stars for both value and ease of use. For performance and quality, 4½. Overall it punches well above it’s weight.

As someone who is new into the league of action cameras, i couldn’t have asked for more.Firstly, the quality of the camera when compared to other action cameras available in the market is on a different level.Cost wise, i couldn’t have asked for anything better. Well within the budget.With all the accessories provided, its a really good deal.Looking forward to future adventures with this camera.

He comprado esta Akaso Brave 6 Plus, tras tener otras dos cámara deportivas de precios similares. La primera fue la Wolfgang GA200, decir que no está mal pero me dió fallos en el conector microusb y no cargaba la cámara. Tras hacerme la devolución compré la Apexcam M80 y esta tiene un pésimo sistema de estabilización de imagen, al ponerla sobre el manillar de la bicicleta o en la moto, no se podía grabar con claridad a pesar de tener disponibilidad de grabar en 4k a 60fps. Al mes de tenerla perdió calidad de imagen y nitidez y no grababa correctamente, por lo que tuve que iniciar otra devolución. Es así como tras ver videos de youtube he llegado a comprar la Akaso Brave 6 Plus.De esta cámara tras hacer varias pruebas tanto de día como de noche, he de decir que es la mejor sin duda y la que mejor estabilizador de imagen tiene, graba con muy buena calidad para lo que cuesta, su puerto de carga usb-c es una gran baza para mí, puesto que al usarla normalmente como cámara de salpicadero el microusb se mueve y deja de cargar, pero el usb-c es mas estable.Por ponerle dos pegas a la akaso es que la grabación nocturna no es muy buena, aunque aceptable y que no posee en su parte inferior una rosca para conectarla a los accesorios.Sin duda, una compra recomendada y ya veremos si sigue así en unos meses, años.
