    This unboxing experience was like mine (7000ek). I had to guess, suppose, or assume the purpose of each accessory because instructions certainly don’t make it clear. After a few months I still have not figured them all out. I appreciate your effort. Seems to me that for one just wanting a basic inexpensive camera to get started the 7000 is sufficient. For those wanting notably better audio and video, skip the Brave and shop for another brand, probably GoPro.

    Hi there, a really nice detailed review and comparison video. I bought the ek7000 cam some time ago to do fpv on a drone I was building, ( its just about finished) unfortunately the ek7000 does not output analog video which is what I need as an input for my drone's video transmitter, I ended up mounting a hdmi to analog converter onto my drone so I could view my cams video remotely, and record onto the sd card. Unfortunately there is no way to trigger the camera to start recording video or take pictures in pic mode when the cam is outputting hdmi signal which is extremely disappointing. I wonder if the brave 4 has the same issue, if not, I would definitely upgrade to the brave 4.

    Good video. I appreciate it was a lot of work. I am expecting to open one as a present tomorrow so, I it was good getting a jump on it.
    The walking video showed the Stabilization difference in the 7000 beautifully. HOWEVER...The Driving test should have been Apples to Apples meaning, 170 to 170. Not 170 to 110. IMHO.
    LASTLY...I am so disappointed in the mic, now :( Although, it should be great for a 2-camera shoot, I was also planing on making occasional videos from my car but, again, the mic quality is sub-standard for this quality of video.

      @rickharris323 5 лет назад +5

      I suspect it is because he had the Brave 4 set to 110 deg viewing angle, while the EK 7000 has a fixed 170-degree viewing angle. With these cameras, I believe that changing the viewing angle setting simply crops the view, so he is no longer getting a "4K" video (1440p), but something closer to 720p.

    Thanks for this thorough review. I just picked up the Brave 4. I have Gopro session and 5 Black but wanted one more camera angle. I didn’t want to break the bank either. I have a gimbal that I will see if this camera fits into as well. I know you mention the stabilization was an important feature for you. It is for me as well and I was satisfied with the Hero 5 Black but it was a bit lacking. I’m not assuming the Brave 5 will be any better, but if I can get it in my gimbal then it’s a nonissue.
    Again, thanks for your work on this.

    The external mic is really good and worth using. I drilled a hole in the side of the waterproof case so I can use it with the case. Of course not waterproof now but I am not using it for underwater shots.

    I'm adding a 3.5 External Microphone port. It looks pretty straightforward. ruclips.net/video/6tYi3hY-0Ug/видео.html

    The sound on both is awful. YUK !
    The "fish-eye" distortion on the 7000 was/is horrid it is slightly improved on the B4 but still far from gone.
    The default picture quality with regards to contrast on the B4 is too soft and less to my taste although the 7k is too too high.
    Poor quality digital stabilization creates jello but what do you expect at this price point?
    All in all.... meh.
    Nice review.
    Cheers

    Hey, i have a question for my akaso brave 4 pro.
    I bought the camera to geht nice and wide video shootings for my holidays.
    When i go to video mode, i can't change the angle view.
    On their side, they said it can change to 170 degree angle but when i go to settings, the "angle" button is greyed out and can't be clicked.
    Only in Foto mode i can change the angle. Is my camera broken
