I ride a motorcycle and have purchased four video cameras over the last couple of years. I have s Sony HDRAS300, a Yi 4k (don't make that one anymore), a Gopro Black 7 (which is white), and the Akaso V50 Pro. I bought the Akaso to stick on my drones because the included cameras on the drones have no image stabilization. I did not want to use my other three cams because they are expensive and I have crashed several drones. I have no use for the Sony as I cannot get it mounted on my helmet like I want, so I basically use the Yi and Gopro for my motorcycle videos. I mounted the Akaso on my Xero drone and crashed it. The drone is done for but the Akaso survived. The last ride I took, I put my Akaso on my helmet and gave it a try to use as a backup on my rides in case something happens to my Gopro while I am on the road. I am amazed, I mean really amazed at the video. The Akaso colors are as vibrant and the Gopro and more so than the Yi. Also the stabilization is fine mounted on my helmet. I plugged it in to a usb port on my handlebar and it ran for a couple of hours straight from my motorcycle battery. The only limitation is the size of the micro sd card which is 64 MB. The Gopro can handle 128 MB which allows me to ride and forget about running out of space and it will also run off my motorcycle battery. The Akaso cannot match the Gopro apples to apples at 1080p which is what I record in but the Akaso can match the Gopro at 1080p if the Akaso is set to 4k which is really not 4k as I understand from other people reviewing on Youtube. However, both the Akaso at "4k" and the Gopro at 1080p have about the same file size. The Gopro makes a 17:38 minute file size at 3.90 GB for 1080p. The Akaso makes s 17:33 minute file at 3.87 file size. I cannot speak for other activities like snowboarding or surfing or stuff I don't do that may overcome the image stabilization, but the Akaso is fine mounted on my helmet. I paid about $119 for the Akaso and a mounting kit and about double that for the Gopro Black 7...never buy the current Gopro model as it is way overpriced. I am not a paid reviewer and I don't get stuff from the manufacturer or anything like that...I buy my own stuff and try it out to see if it meets my needs. My opinion is as follows: The Sony is a good camera but way overpriced because it has limited mounting options or either they are a pain. The Yi is almost as good as the Gopro as it has solid image stabilization and crisp video, but the colors a not as vibrant, and it cost me about as much as the Gopro 7. I cannot find the Yi selling anywhere reputable anymore. I bought the Gopro because most videos on Youtube use it. I got the 7 after the 8 had been out for quite a while, and the 7 was discounted a lot. The 7 is a great camera, and I cannot see getting an 8 as great is enough and better than great is a waste of money. The Akaso V50 Pro is a fine, fine camera for the price you pay. If you can afford a Hero 7 then get that as it lives up to its reputation, but otherwise the Akaso is the better value because double the price does not really get you much more. One last thing...I did have to contact Gopro support as the Gopro started having an issue with stuttering video after I did a firmware update. Tech support had me reset the unit, and that fixed it. However now it will only turn off if I give it the verbal command to do so...it will not turn off with the button. It is a good camera but the sofware is not good. No such problems with my other three cameras. They are rock solid.

My partner and I bought this camera because we are going backpacking across the USA and we wanted to film the experience. We have never owned an action camera before so we wanted to buy something on a budget. After comparing many companies that offer action cameras AKASO seemed the best quality for the reasonable price and it had the best reviews.We were then deciding between AKASO EK7000 / BRAVE 4 and v50 pro. After visiting their website we decided to buy the last one because it really had everything and even more of what we wanted.It comes with a hard plastic box which looks really pretty and on top you get the camera in it's waterproof case and below you have all the mounts.Everything was in perfect condition. We tested the waterproof case and all the accessories. Both batteries work. We just had to buy the SD card, which it stated it didn't come in the pack and we bought 64GB with the right speed and it works great. The little manual you get with it is really short but they provide the link to the FULL manual which explains every tool you get with the camera and all its menus and features.I personally like to read the manual first and it helped me figure out the camera really quickly.We tested it through a couple of days. The pictures look really clear and nice. But we were more excited for the video. We filmed at home and in the car and the footage is great.I was really surprised about the image stabilization because that was a feature that convinced us to buy this model and it works amazing.Overall we are really happy with the camera. We didn't think it was going to be this good for such a low price.It looks good, feels good in the hand. It's nicely made and the video is top noch for such a low price.If you are deciding to buy this camera and you want to make good videos and need stabilization and different features then this camera is the right for you. We know we are going to make stunning videos on the road.Way to go AKASO!

An entry level camera good for the price, with many accessories. The videos are recorded uncompressed so they can take up to 3GB (can be easily reduced to 1GB with a video converter), you can send them to your phone via the ad-hoc camera's wifi (but can take a long time though). Comes with to batteries, each last about a couple of hours, so you have to keep starting and stopping the recording if you want to record your entire journey. The quality is good unless you use the waterproof casing, in which case the quality is reduced substantially (and there is almost no sound recording). Overall, excellent if you just want to record a trip or two cheaply.
