Akaso seriously dropped the ball with the 7 series. Glad I went ahead and bought an on sale Brave 6 plus with the external mic and all the accessories for 108.00 3 weeks ago. And yes, the Brave 6 plus does use the external mic although the internal mic works great as well.
This video make me to decide very hard on which camera should I go. I mostly will mount onto the hood in front of my car shooting driving scene. While I read on the comments there are someone saying that Brave 7 has new firmware updates which fixes a lot of things, I might need to hold on a bit before buying it.
I love your video's, I new nothing about camera's, just decided me and a friend to get 2 cameras for when we were on the motorcycle, your video's explained everything, so I subscribed
Good comparison video! Brave 6 Plus with EIS seems to react better/smoother to sudden direction changes than the Brave 7. Sound on both cameras is nothing to write home about, but the Brave 6 Plus sounds less muffled than the Brave 7, which is also much more vulnerable to windnoise. Brave 6 Plus has slightly better colors imo, and a slightly wider FOV. Both cameras suck at filming under low light conditions (which actioncamera doesn't?) Overal I'd say that the Brave 6 Plus is the winner. Hint for AKASO: for the next actioncamera take the waterproof body of the Brave 7 and use the guts of the Brave 6 Plus and you have a WINNER!
I would have loved to have purchased a Brave 6 plus but they are no longer available. I had to settle for a Brave 7 and am prepared to be disappointed.
@@speedsterjohnny7191 All the newer Akaso's have been getting more expensive, but have hardly (if at all) improved in quality imo. Still reget not buying a Brave 6 Plus when it was readily available.
Great and honest review Alex, as usual. But a few salty words from me here about Akaso: That's how you produce in modern marketelogists era - you produce worse product, but add some fancy sh*t (front screen in this case), and market it like it's better and new. Moreover, I am living in Ukraine, there is no suply of Akaso here, Ali Akaso store doesn't have Brave6 Plus and they don't know if they will ever,, Amazon hong kong store doesn't have suply. I have called to Akaso company, they told me they don't deliver to Ukraine, advised Amazon. Well, if that's how you want to do business in 2021 - then yeah.. that marketing is the only thing which helps you - all other than that done poorly. Hey, SjCam, grab my money, I guess.
Thanks for this review. Akaso Brave 6 plus has been out of stock since Dec 2020. Been waiting for them to restock. Will appreciate if you find shops with stocks on hand. Brave 6 plus is still the best action camera in their lineup.
I was waiting for this comparison. I have the Brave 6 Plus, probably will buy another one. For the price it's very good. In my channel I share some of my weekend rides with friends on my Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports.
I had the Akaso v50 Pro since 2019. It finally died and I needed another replacement. I picked up the Brave 6+, and although it is a decent camera, I was bummed that it used all new form factor batteries and chargers and cases. I ended up picking up another v50 Pro SE for its feature set, and also for the fact that the form factor did not change. So my existing v50 accessories would fit (batteries, cases etc).
First of all, you've done a phenomenal job with this video. Couldn't have asked for more! As for the cameras though, honestly the video quality is so disappointing to me. It looks like upscaled standard definition video. It actually reminds me of the home videos we took on VHS back when I was a kid in the early 90's. The clarity/sharpness of the image is lacking so you end up with a soft image with very little detail t doesn't handle the contrast very well either so the shadows seem to deep while the highlights are too bright. I find my self straining to watch it cause I know Im missing a bunch of detail so I either have to just not pay attention to whats being filmed or strain to pick up any detail I can.
Hello, If you still have the Brave 6 plus, Could you please check the HDMI output function? I need to confirm that the camera screen keep working simultaneously while HDMI cable connected to TV. Thank you in advance...
I saw today i video of akaso brave 7 review and it was saying that there is a new firmwares update for akaso brave 7 improving the sound of both internal and external microphone of the camera. The sound dramatically improved and it was compared with dji osmo action cam sound where i almost could not hear any difference... And comparing to your review video for akaso brave 7 sounds issue it is as if they have totaly replaced microphone of the camera with the latest firmware update. I would like to see if possible your review on that firmware update. Thank you in advance fro your honest detailed and useful review.
Seems the Brave 6 plus is the king here. I'm curious about water resistance. only because i will use this on the motorcycle. I would even like to use the external mic setup. of course, mother nature always like to toss the curve balls.
Your action camera reviews are the best👌, thanks. I live in Canada and have not been able to find the 6 plus to buy. Does anyone know why or where it is available? Thanks.
Hey… I was living in Canada when I filmed this video 😃 I think the brave 6 plus is discontinued… I still have mine in a box in a storage unit in Ontario 🤣
Would you go Akaso or Apeman? And which model? I’m taking a trip to Cancun and I skateboard. Just asking the pro for the best advice between the two brands.
Ok so in my opinion, In Stabilization, the Akaso Brave 7 is the winner because you can barely see the camera move while walking. On the other hand the Akaso Brave 6 plus isn't that behind in stabilization but I can see why you chose to give the Brave 6 plus the win for stabilization, the brave 6 plus has more smooth movements in stabilization, than the brave 7, but the brave 7 has more sudden movements. However I would've given the Brave 7 the win for stabilization, that's just my opinion. Now in audio quality the brave 6 plus is far far ahead than the brave 7. The brave 7 is extremely quiet and you can barely hear it in the wind, but the brave 6 plus is actually pretty good. The quality is good and the volume is good and also it can handle the wind, so definitely the brave 6 plus gets the win for audio. Then comes video quality. Both cameras do great in video quality, however In my opinion I like the colours of the Akaso brave 6 plus, which makes look a little more sharper both in 4k and 1080p, but the Brave 7 isn't far behind. In low light the Akaso brave 7 gets the win. But overall, obviously the Akaso Brave 6 plus is the winner in almost all categories. However I'm a little dissapointed in Akaso, as their newer models should be better in quality not worse.
I regret holding my breath for the Brave7 as it is nothing but from a hype to a big disappointment - sorry but it's just me and no one cares :-) -o- I was expecting a better audio quality from the microphone given the external USB-C option but Akaso Engineers failed big time!

Thanks for confirming the external microphone on the Brave 6 Plus!
Where did you find it available?

Which one did you end up getting?
Great video, I would say that the Brave 6 plus by far is the best camera Akaso make.
Agreed!
This comment makes me happy, I own a brave 6 plus. It's nice to make the best choice. Lol 😇
If only they were available. I went with the v50x instead because the b6 plus isn’t available anymore and I think it’s excellent except for the sound.
7s stabilization is better
@@gsuit2815 it's available again on Amazon

@@RedskullPro Not sure how much Akaso is actually doing themselves? It's not like they're bringing out heaps of firmware-updates.

I think you are better off to save a few more $$ and get a GoPro 7. Would probably last longer than any Akaso camera
One of the best cheap camera review 📸👍
You are the best Alex! Great job

@@RedskullPro I already have the Brave 6 plus external mic, all I need is the actual camera itself 😅
Sees like Brave 6 Plus has wider viewing angle, clearer audio, better image quality.
Nice video comparison !
I noticed that the Brave 6 plus has a wider field of view and a better distortion correction !
Yes it does!

Mine has serious issues with audio recording and stabilization. What Firmware does yours have?
I'll have to check... but it is whatever firmware came on it when i took it out of the box
@@RedskullPro yes, but may we have different. Akaso was under pressure to release the brave 7 asap.
Brave 6 plus have no stock everywhere. Hope Brave 7 will have enough stock.
AKASO Brave 4 PRO released in October 2021 is the latest one. Kindly review that and please compare with 6 plus and 7 le if possible.
What memory card do you use? I have issues with some cards so I'd like your input
This is the SD Card that I use with all my Action Cameras: geni.us/hsBzB - Amazon Link
They both have the exact same Sony IMX458 sensor and the HI53559V200 chipset..
And yet the video quality is a bit different
@@RedskullPro Software
Brave 6 Plus is definitely better. 👌
BTW Dope Comparison!! 🔥
#RedSkull
Bonne vidéo 👍 La Brave 6 Plus est beaucoup mieux mais c'est dommage elle est en rupture de stock partout 😢
Thank really helpful but does it record in 16:9?
Was half expecting that after the Disaster that was the Brave 7 LE, Akaso had probably a lot of luck with the 6 Plus that they can't recreate.
Brave 6 plus all the way . But you should compare the Brave 6 plus vs AKASO V50 Pro SE Leave No Trace 4k 60
I think the AKASO V50 Pro SE Leave No Trace. is the best camera Akaso has made to date.
Hi alex, can you make a comparison between brave 6 plus vs brave 6 pro? Thanks
Watching fr. Philippines
hello according to you and what you have tried what is the camera with the best image quality at a maximum of 130 euros
Thank you for your answer
Hello, sir. how can i get akaso brave 7, original from the source? because in Indonesia the stock has run out
What's the sensor size of Brave 7? Is it the same as Brave 7 LE? after this can make video compare Brave 7 vs Brave 7 LTE
Obviously on the microphone debate the Brave 7 is waterproof so that will effect the microphone as it probably has a membrane covering....
check my video on the "updated" Brave 7. The sound is much better now. ruclips.net/video/tvAk0he7D3E/видео.html

Would you go Akaso or Apeman? And which model? I’m taking a trip to Cancun and I skateboard. Just asking the pro for the best advice between the two brands.
Your best bet is probably the Brave 7...since it is waterproof without a case
@@RedskullPro thank you so much! I’ve been doing research all day! I ran into your channel and you explain it way better! Keep it up!
get the osmo action, its far better and also affordable.
Sir, can you please make an SJCAM SJ10 Pro VS DJI Osmo Action Comparison. No one has a video of that yet
I don't have the osmo action...and I don't want to get one now...I think we will get a new model soon
Which Akaso model that comes with a very clear internal mic?
IS it okay for diving?
I find having a usb C a big plus, because my phone also has usb C so i don't have to worry about any other cable types
100%! all micro usbs have to die!

Hello, sir. do you sell your akaso brave 7 camera?
If you are in Canada sure
The BRAVE 6 PLUS is out of stock. Should I go for the BRAVE 6 or should I go for the BRAVE 7?
I think the brave 7 has the better video quality... too bad the sound isn't that great on it
trust me guys use the gimbal it will be much better video! and u wont even lose resolution
That is true
It is Brave 7 ir Brave 7 LE?
Which is best for video quality and stabilization
Probably the Brave 6 Plus
*i comment this on the last video i watched from you. it is and yet again the 1080p60 is ugly oddly weird for real.*
that' why i don't bother ever filming in 1080p60 with budget friendly action cameras
Where can I find the akaso Brave 6 plus ?
