I like the most recent versions of this camera better --- no badging under the front screen. This is nice to me. Hopefully, the audio has also been improved with a later firmware update. ? Who knows. But it does take pretty good video. I'm using a 256GB Samsung Pro SD card --- works fine. I do recommending you buy this "on sale" --- I got mine for US$112 + tax [Amazon] in a 'newish' box grey colored --- not blue.
Hoping it lives it to the positive reviews I have listened to. Got one for my son for Christmas. Was looking at the gopro hero 7 black package deal on amazon but loathed to pay nearly £300.
This review is dated: Sep 7, 2020. Being fair to Akaso, I have the most recent version [firmware, quality] and its video quality is better than what you show.
Great review! You indeed already said that it's quite a hassle to get it opened around 2:39 but it literally took me so much effort (broke at least half of my nails) to get it opened that I had it returned. Anyone else facing this problem?
Thank you, glad you liked the review :) Should get a bit looser over time, to be honest, didn't have any issues recently when I opened it recently; would suggest pressing down onto the camera and sliding if that makes sense?
Thanks for the video. I can't figure out how to use any of the mounts and I bought it to mountain bike don't know how to mount it to my helmet in fact I can't get any of the mounts to work so unfortunately I'm just going to return it
got one, sitting beside my go-pro 5 cant hardy hear the playback audio. skip this and buy the 8, i hear its better. ill stick with go-pro, even an amazon refirb at the same price is better than this. if it took an external mike maybe?
@@TotallydubbedHD , Reading through some discussions on privacy on mobile phones and looking at permissions required by apps, I thought how strange it is that there are few discussions on this issue when we look at cameras. Yet cameras have wifi and the apps are on the phones which we discuss. We criticize the big firms for surveillance and data gathering, but we don't think twice about the trust we have to place in cameras and their apps. Hence my question.
Mine was as well. I tried everything to make the footage look good but it looks shit...even with the best of the memory cards. It looks great ONLY in super bright light outside...everything else...even on mildly overcast the footage is potato. I sent it back.
Buy the Akaso Brave 7 LE from Amazon: locally.link/kJpU

Well the hero7 will give a lot better image. Think that's obvious from my video Vs the hero 8

Other guys that test the same cameras doesn't show the video blurry as yours. How come there is such different between the same works?
I cannot comment on other people's videos, sorry!

Image stabilizer is not that good, and the colour is not to my liking though. Plus side, front LCD and body waterproof to certain extend.
I have the same problem as you, there is a lot of pixelation on the footage, also the GoPro, I think it is the CZcams codec.
There is some degree of compression, that's true
Thanks for the video. I can't figure out how to use any of the mounts and I bought it to mountain bike don't know how to mount it to my helmet in fact I can't get any of the mounts to work so unfortunately I'm just going to return it
Sorry to hear that!
Thanks for review this camera akaso brave 7LE
No worries!
Hey there. Thanks for the review. What microphone sample rates does this camera support when connected to a PC as a webcam? Thanks
I have no idea, sorry! Glad you liked the review though.

Audio isn't actually bad; surprised you're getting really bad results!
Hi guys 👋
What's type of USB is needed for go pro 7 back? Is USB type C related for it?
yup it's USB-C as well.
Quick question Chris, are those prescription glasses? You sometimes wear them but other times you don't, so I'm wondering if they're just for looks.
Haha, very observant! They are indeed perception. Sometimes I wear contacts, other times, I choose to be blind in front of the camera 😂
@@TotallydubbedHD When can I expect a review on your glasses?
@@QuakerRaze haha never.
HELP!
I dont see my videos in AKASO go app and i dont want have date and time on my videos HELP!
No idea, best asking support
I don't see the akaso go app on the Play Store
Not sure buddy, check for it in the manufacturer's website or feel free to contact them.
does this camera take filters and external mic ?
Not sure about filters, sorry
Can this cam be used upside down?
Indeed it can
Can we put mic in akaso 7 le? Thanks
Cannot remember, best looking at the manufacture's website
which is the best for this price range?
Haven't tried enough action cameras to give you an honest answer, sorry!
Would that cam work as webcam?
Not sure!
Any privacy/security issues witg the app or camera?
None to note, why?

@@IBENF I see, well can't comment on that; best looking through the permissions list on the app (depending on which platform you use)
My akaso Brave 7 le was quote noisy in a silent indoor scenario. A pity.
Did you return it?
@@TotallydubbedHD yep, but it made me sad 😭
@@desy666 ah, what did you get instead then?
@@TotallydubbedHD I'm waiting for a GoPro 9 on monday. Thanks for the video btw. Bye 😉
@@desy666 haha ok.
Gopro in the woods on a bike couldn't cope, but Akaso was a complete failure. Nothing unusual - Akaso records at a lower bitrate
Ha, yeah, it's hard
Whats the app name?
Watching other Brave 7 LE video on YT, your seems to get a lemon. Your Brave 7 LE video is really bad.
Yeah unfortunately don't know what they're doing lol.
Mine was as well. I tried everything to make the footage look good but it looks shit...even with the best of the memory cards. It looks great ONLY in super bright light outside...everything else...even on mildly overcast the footage is potato. I sent it back.
@@TiberiusRexx glad to know I'm not the only one...lol
bro thats trash just get an go pro
