AKASO Brave 7 LE Action Camera, IPX7 Waterproof Navitve 4K 20MP WiFi Sports Camera with Touch Screen, EIS 2.0 Remote Control Underwater 40M Cam with 2X 1350mAh Batteries

Update after more than a year of use The camera may be old but, after a year of use, I decided to update the review because I actually grew very fond of it. The camera offers an amazing value for money and a rich set of features. The other positive reviews cover the gist. It is very reliable and well made. I never had any issue with it and it survived a couple of hard falls at speed on tarmac. During daylight, the video is clear even at the low resolutions and the colours bright and pleasant. Lots of settings to play with and get the desired results whether it's video, photos or slow mo etc. The killer feature for me were the two batteries and the dual charger. That would give me more than two full hours of solid video recording, which matters to me. It also comes with an extensive set of mounts and adapters covering very different uses. It's also easy to attache it on some gopro mounts which was useful for me as I had a set of 3d printed custom mounts and the transition was seamless. For the record, I had two complains: One was solved after a bit of experimentation and it was that I would often stop the camera unknowingly by touching the screen. I figured out that when you have lock enabled AND start the recording with the button instead works perfectly as it will only stop the recording by pressing the button. The second was that it would lose the date/time when left without batteries an issue. This may be solved by their support, in which case I will update. Finally, the communications I had with the company regarding had been top quality indicative of a top notch support.

Hi Folks! I do a lot of outdoor adventures ( Long distance hiking, Kayak Touring, EMTB / Bike Packing etc. ) I've always taken my Sony RX100 to take stills but, thought I'd start recording videos for social media etc.. and wanted an action cam that would get me started and wouldn't break the bank. I didn't want to spend Gopro money to find I found the video thing a faff. So, I did some research and cheeked out reviews online and saw that the Akaso brand was one of the best at a more budget friendly price. I finally went for the Brave 7 LE for a paddling trip 85 miles down the river Wye, Wales, UK to see what I could capture on video. WOW! I have to say I'm blown away by the image quality ( All shot at 4K 30FPS wide angle ). It really does look quite amazing once down loaded onto my lap top. Sound quality is also good, both internal and ( YES! now included on the LE ) external mic. It's picked up my voice very well from being attached on the front of my 14ft kayak. And did a decent job of picking up background noise too. The touch screen and interface are very easy to use and not complicated at all. The wristed strap remote worked well ( Included ) as long as you pointed it at the camera. Which is really handy because I couldn't reach it from where it was mounted. The app seems to work as well. Although I only tested that at home. Image stabilization works well on a kayak. Even on class 2 rapids! After down loading and using Clip Champ ( very easy to work out after about an hour of playing with it ) I've managed to create a very good 1st video of one of my adventures. I'm so impressed with the Brave 7 LE I will deffo be buying at least one or two more brave 7's or 8's to capture different angles of my up and coming adventures. Which will enhance video experience and content. Pro's Wallet friendly 4k Action Cam Front and rear screen Lots of mounts and accessories x2 Batteries Remote control wrist strap Very easy to use Quality Image Good stabilization Good sound recording Waterproof Not a £350.00 Gopro Hero 10 Con's The "beep" could be louder Not a £350.00 Gopro Hero 10 In all, I'm very impressed with Akaso Brave 7LE and am happy to buy a few more in the Akaso range for future video capture. If you want a great wallet friendly action cam look no further. Happy Trails.. M

Fantastic action camera! I have had numerous brands and the AKASO Brave 7 LE is top notch value! Just extended the warranty for 2 years for free.

The first thing I noticed is how solid it is being made of high quality materials and not cheap flimsy plastic. It has a decent bit of weight for such a small camera as well. I charged the batteries, put one in with an Akaso 64gb micro SD card. Video quality is very good with several effects that you can select - normal, warm, natural, brightness contrast, black and white, and negative. I particularly like the brightness contrast with it's saturated colours and increased contrast. The stabilisation is not quite as good as GoPro but it's still fairly good. The internal microphone records at a slightly lower volume than I would like but it isn't a problem for me. I have purchased the akaso lavalier external microphone and will test it out when it arrives. Photographs are good and will be more than decent enough for me. The on/off button is - I think intentionally - quite stiff and you need to press and hold. This will prevent accidental power on incidents. The menu system is easy to get used to with a mode button to the left of the record button. I should also say that the akaso app is excellent once you have paired with the brave 7 le. The initial pairing took a few attempts - probably my fault - but no problems afterwards when I connect to the camera. The app works very well for downloading to my pixel 8 pro. At this price you are getting a great action camera.

I'd considered getting an action camera for a number of years, but had always talked myself out of it. I couldn't justify spending Go Pro prices in case I lost it or misplaced it - I'm a nightmare for losing thinkings. I finally took the plunge and went for AKASO Brave 7 LE Action Camera based on reviews and the price point. I wasn't worried about amazing quality but wanted something to record my paddleboard adventures, so that I could share them with my wife - she's not as mobile due to long term illness, but this would mean she could still get the enjoyment of the river or sea paddles. After using the camera for the past year, the video quality has been great and the built in microphone has been acceptable. I've used the camera both with and without the case and the camera has functioned fine - if anything on really hot days the camera has felt slightly hotter when in the case. The remote is a nice touch and really handy for starting and ending recordings. There are numerous accessories that come with the camera to suit different sports. The dual batteries are a nice touch as well and I've found the battery life is adequate. The only thing that I'd say is a must and highly recommend is to get a camera float - I learnt the hard way. I had an issue where the mount failed and my camera sunk to the bottom and I couldn't find it. However, Akaso's customer service was exceptional and exceeded my expectations - after speaking with them they offered to replace the camera , and they sent me a replacement out, so can't fault them in any way.

Very easy to set up,you get a good selection of accessories included all you need is a memory card(if 1 is not ordered with camera), very happy with this camera

I wanted to upgrade from my basic action camera but still didn’t feel I could justify the cost of the mainstream brand. I saw this, watched some reviews and thought it must be too good to be true for the money (but then that would have meant all of the reviews were wrong.) I decided to give it ago and see for myself and I wasn’t disappointed. Simple to use and navigate. Build quality is excellent, accessories galore and comes with two batteries and a charger. Image and video quality is fantastic compared to what I was used to and for someone who just wants to record and enjoy holiday trips and days out, this provides excellent footage. The main test will be when we go on our regular safari game drive holiday early next year and it’s mounted to our car over rough terrain - an added benefit is that I don’t need to worry about the chance of rain and putting it inside it’s case. I’m yet to try out the waterproof capacity without the case when swimming but to be honest, I’d probably use the case anyway for that added protection. A word of advice though - don’t make the mistake I made initially. I watched some footage back on the camera and was dissatisfied with the sound and video quality. Once you view/download onto your phone, tablet or computer etc, all your worries will go away. Obviously the speaker and screen on the camera can only do so much. I don’t know how Akaso have packed so much into something so small and kept the price down. Whilst those more professional than me may see the difference against top end models, 99% of people like me will just love this.

Having had chance to play with my ‘Akaso Brave 7 LE at the weekend, i must say I’m really impressed with it. This is my first action cam, so i don’t have anything to compare it to, but i chose this model mainly for the dual screens, which i figured would be useful. Image quality at 4K 30fps is certainly good enough for my efforts. Bright, with well balanced colours. I haven’t used the other settings yet. I bought it mainly to use on my bike for cycling adventure videos. I was concerned about image stabilisation mounted on the handlebars, but i have not been disappointed. Seems pretty stable to me. Sound wise it seems reasonable. I may need to tweak a few settings. Photo quality is as good as your gonna get from a tiny sensor. But i own a mirrorless camera. I didn’t buy it for photos. So all in all a cracking little camera for the price. I’ve just checked and it’s now £22 cheaper than what i paid. A bit annoying, but i can’t grumble really. Especially when you look at the accessories you get with it. There’s a mount for every conceivable purpose, altho I’m using a little ball head clamp for the bike. But the two best bonuses are, the wrist band remote control, which is very useable and handy. And the underwater case. I’m no diver, but I’ve got uses figured for this already. These accessories alone would cost £60+ for the likes of a GoPro. I can see me having a lot of fun with this. Along with mastering editing, I’ve got plenty to keep me occupied for the year.

It's a good product for the price it costs. Could have a better image resolution. But it's quite user-friendly

Used it for snorkling. Good value.

Después de ver muchas comparativas de cámaras de acción donde se pueden ver al mismo tiempo como trabajan diferentes cámaras grabando el mismo contenido, pude ver que esta marca en concreto, AKASO, es capaz de hacerle frente a las ya famosas cámaras de acción por excelencia, a un precio realmente mucho más competitivo que las demás. CALIDAD-PRECIO MUY BUENO. Los parámetros de configuración como enfoque, iso, brillo, contraste, etc son bastante flexibles así que permiten ajustarse a unas necesidades concretas consiguiendo mejores resultados. Yo personalmente lo llevo todo en auto, ya que para el uso que lo le doy, las condiciones cambian mucho y estoy muy contento con los vídeos que consigo producir ya que la calidad de imagen es muy alta. Una de las cosas, entre otras tantas, que más me gustan de esta cámara es que es totalmente táctil; todo, y cuando digo todo, se puede ajustar tocando directamente en su pantalla. Esto para mí es algo muy positivo ya que la uso fundamentalmente para hacer rutas en bici y descenso, así no tengo que soltarla del manillar para navegar por el interfaz de la cámara Akaso, el cual es muy intuitivo. Al mismo tiempo, se puede conectar mediante wifi a un teléfono móvil y comenzar la grabación desde el móvil, teniendo la cámara algo más inaccesible; por ejemplo en el techo de un coche, parte trasera de la moto o sujeta en el casco, ya que trae un montón de accesorios para colocarla en donde tú quieras. También cabe destacar, que si todo lo anterior te parecia poco, AKASO incluye un mando control remoto de muñeca (foto) que funciona a la perfección. Incluye 2 baterías, por lo que una vez bien cargadas , me llevo una instalada y la otra en el bolsillo, para poder cambiarlas rápidamente sin tener que parar lo que estoy grabando El resto de accesorios que incluye no los he probado todos, solo la funda de estanqueidad para comprobar que no tuviera ningún defecto antes de terminar la garantía y funciona muy bien. Tiene un sello MUY poderoso. La echaré mano este verano para grabar vídeos bajo el agua Lo veo un kit ideal para empezar a grabar tu propio contenido, incluso comprando 2 o 3 unidades se pueden hacer unas tomas buenísimas. La cámara incluye visualización y audio a través de un pequeño altavoz (esto me parece increíble) así que no tienes que esperar a descargar el contenido en un PC para ver si la toma ha quedado como tú querías. Sin duda alguna, Volvería a comprarla, Me paso el día haciendo time-laps. Una de las mejores compras de este año.

Produit de qualité, on le temps toute suite au niveau du poids comparé à une autre sport cam. Livré avec une multitude d'accessoires (attaches, batteries x2, télécommande, voirie étanche..) Écran tactile et menu intuitifs, sans oublier l'écran sur la face avant pour les selfis. L'application ce trouve facilement sur le store et le WiFi est très simple à connecté, même sur des smartphones récent (Samsung galaxy A42 5g). Couplé a une bonne carte mémoire, elles faits des vidéos exceptionnelles. Comparé aux grandes marques elle n'a pas a rougir, Livré avec autant d'accessoires et avec cette qualité d'image, pour 3 fois moins cher, je dis: Bravo Akaso.

Giudizio di sintesi: prodotto serio e ben fatto. Se state cercando una classica videocamera per uso generico ritengo che sia una buona scelta o addirittura ottimale nel rapporto costo/prestazioni. Cose da sapere: Per chi abbia il dubbio, il formato nativo in cui registra la videocamera è il .mov e di base è impostate per registrare in blocchi da circa 3 giga che nel massimo formato consentito (3840*2160 con 30 fotogrammi per secondo) coprono una decina abbondante di minuti. L’impostazione può essere cambiata passando a una diversa tipologia della registrazione (definita a “loop” e selezionabile a 1, 3 oppure 5 minuti: attenzione, in questo caso sovrascrive sui vecchi file una volta terminato lo spazio disponibile). Per quanto riguarda la scheda di memoria SSD Il formato supportato più capiente è dichiarato da 64 giga, classe 10. Siccome la durata d’uso massima della batteria è di circa 3 ore, grosso modo finisce prima la batteria che la capacità d’immagazzinamento dati della scheda. A favore o pregi: Estremamente compatta e solida. Interfaccia d’uso banale nella sua essenzialità. Il doppio schermo garantisce un minimo di visibilità anche in caso di autoscatti (selfie). Corredata da un set completo di accessori di ancoraggio per ogni esigenza – anche se, nel mio dettaglio personale, le staffe per la bicicletta che ho provato hanno una vite abbastanza corta che ne permettono il fissaggio al solo manubrio e non al telaio (e girando in città con la bicicletta il manubrio si muove molto più di quanto sia auspicabile per rivedere il filmato senza causare un effetto di disorientamento visivo – insomma mi era venuto il mal di stomaco - e no, non sto scherando) Contro o scomodità: La meccanica d’apertura del cassetto di scorrimento che copre le prese usb, al contrario di quello per la batteria, risulta un po’ difficile da azionare. Non viene fornito un tappo che copra l’obiettivo della videocamera L’applicazione per la connessione da cellulare, che ho testato con un telefono android di versione antecedente al rilascio della videocamera, fallisce la connessione e quindi non è utilizzabile (si, ho provato tutti gli hack indicati da molti altri utenti, inclusa la disattivazione della rete dati) Considerazioni generali: tanto la qualità delle riprese video che delle foto scattate è per lo più eccellente in condizioni ottimali, tuttavia con l’impostazione di visuale ad angolo più ampio si notano delle problematiche di messa a fuoco – che tutto sommato, non avendo in realtà provato prodotti premium delle fasce di mercato più elevate che magari hanno filtri e sistemi di gestione ottica multifocali, ritengo ampiamente ragionevoli. L’audio è limitato al microfono incorporato poiché non esistono prese esterne, personalmente non ho avuto modo di approfondire la cosa ma mi sembra comunque sufficiente a soddisfare le esigenze generiche. Per altro, soprattutto in questo caso mi sorge spontanea un’osservazione: se dovete fare riprese di tipo professionale che magari coinvolgono addirittura personale fonico dedicato, è evidente che fareste meglio a rivolgere la vostra attenzione a prodotti di fascia, ovvero costo, maggiore. A me sembra un ottimo oggetto per l’uso occasionale. Esempio ripresa video: • 3840*2160 con 30 fotogrammi per secondo • Filtro audio riduzione del vento attivato • Ripresa effettuata con angolo largo • Stabilizzatore attivo (per lo più sono le fenditure e disconnessioni dell’asfalto che causano il tremolio delle immagini) • Videocamera fissata con altro supporto rispetto a quelli in dotazione • Frequenza ottica 50hz – infatti potreste vedere alcune luci come quelle dei semafori che creano una strana instabilità della luce • Rendering video eseguito a 1080p
