Moreover, an alternate button allows you to switch the modes.įurther on, it has a decent video quality: much better than action cameras at this price. Moving on, we were rather impressed by the WiFi remote that works without any difficulties while effortlessly starting and stopping the video. However, it offers a similar user interface to that of GoPros oldest model. It isn’t the easiest device to work with if you’re accustomed to using touchscreen gadgets. Moreover, the mode button switches between video, photo, burst, time-lapse, and settings with a built-in screen at the back. The shutter button allows users to take pictures or initiate recordings while simultaneously acting as an enter button for the menu. The red light on the top blinks while recording and indicates whether it’s turned on/off with an additional four buttons to control the functions. If anything, we find the basic design and control buttons quite easy to be used by beginners: you don’t need to waste any time trying to get comfortable with the complex features anymore. However, it’s unfair to expect a completely distinctive body considering the low cost and audience. The design is less than unique: quite generic, we must say. We consider it a great option for beginners who are ready to compromise on innovative features but want a good quality 4k video. If you are interested in purchasing a GoPro clone at less than half the price, the Akaso EK7000 4k Action Camera is a viable option. Photo mode: 12MP photos at up to 30 fps.Timer: time intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds.If you’re on a budget, this is a great option. With brilliant image stabilization and professional-looking 4k recordings, there’s nothing more an enthusiast desires from his camera.
This is certainly the best AKASO model out there. Moreover, you can get a live view of your camera’s lens and gain access to the recordings. Transferring pictures is another tedious task, but this camera makes a WiFi network with your smartphone and transfers all the images via its app. Even though it doesn’t work well with night time recordings, the day time shots seem much better with EIS. Moving on, the driving mode allows users to use it as a dash camera while driving, and the time-lapse feature is another cool option- great for artists.Īnother important element of any action camera is electronic image stabilization, and AKASO makes sure that it doesn’t disappoint you. Moreover, you can charge the camera while recording in order to save time. It’s pretty good if compared to the other cheap cameras with an hour for 4k videos at 30fps or 90mins for 1080p. Another important aspect of an action camera is the battery runtime.
The daytime pictures are sharp and crisp, but the quality deteriorates a bit under low light conditions. PerformanceĮven though action cameras are often used for recording videos, the images produced to fit a high standard.
This proves handy in tricky shooting situations. Moreover, users active better control of the device through a small remote control device that allows you to start or stop the recordings and take pictures. However, the case does have holes cut out for the mic if you want to use it underwater.
However, it’s better to avoid using a waterproof case to make full use of the audio. The action camera does come with an internal microphone.
The 2 inch IPS touchscreen offers great viewing angles with an ability to install external microphones too. However, it’s durable, resistant to scratches, and sturdy enough to tolerate the harsh shooting environment. Build Quality and DesignĪKASO’s design isn’t extraordinary: the compact device has a body made out of rubberized plastic. The outstanding features and video quality offer direct competition to some of the pricey action cameras in the market, and that speaks a lot.
