I always come into these things rooting for a little guy..... then you do the audio test 😬
yep. I've been looking at the Akaso for a while, but this is a HUGE ding against them, for me. I know there are other ways for me to do an audio track, but it's a pain.
You can modify the Akaso mic cable and attach other microphones. But u need at least some basic soldering skills..its what i shoot on these days..
@@brianbamanya2510 I bit the bullet and bought the Osmo. So far it's really cool. Can't wait to really see what it does.
@@brianbamanya2510 any idea if the audio quality with modified microphone would be better then with the akaso "stock" external microphone as on some reviews there was not much improvement and i wonder if its camera hardware problem in processing the audio or just also not that good quality external mic
@@Tigrha The camera hardware is not the best...but I have hooked up a dynamic microphone to the Akaso and it sounds pretty decent...the modification I did was to add a small DIY preamp to the stock Akaso mic...and it improves the Signal to Noise ratio a great deal
Ah, I was waiting for this comparison! Was not disappointed.
I think the cheaper cam holds up pretty well. Gopro is definitly better, but not by 3 times. Gopro is overpriced.
I agree, Go Pro are waay over overpriced.
@Brandon Kilian if you insist on American overpriced products then go ahead but the east products are always better value for the money specially JDM and Chinese
@@abdellah4878 I mean not everyone has $400 laying around
I mostly agree with this, but its somewhat debatable, if you are an average person who just wants to record they're own videos for themselves the AKASO is probably better but if you want to get into content creation the GoPro would make your shots look better and more vibrant therefore stand out to the audience a bit more. Is it worth x3 the price probably not but over time the price should fall to a respectable range.
I agree, go pro totally overpriced, I'm no more support go pro, the Gopro brand costs 150 and the camera costs 300 total=450
Dude ur do the best and most pro comparisons ! Thank youuuuu
Thanks for the informative video. As someone just looking to start using an action camera for the first time, I learned a lot from this.
So I was looking at both of these as options. But I couldn't find good reviews on mic quality. Since I will primarily be using it for music festivals. Your review made my decision easy. I really enjoyed your side by side comparison.
Much appreciated!!
I really like the explanation about the two action cameras. Good Job, i wish you success in the future
You always come with big surprises, one of the best reviewer on RUclips 😂👏
I appreciate that!
Great point on the mics! Subbed!
Thank you for sharing your honest review. This really enlightenment me why my recently bought Akaso camera works that way. I am quite not satisfied. Not worth it.
Thanks for the review! I'm looking for a budget camera to shoot video for art/crafting vlogs and have been looking at the Akasos. You answered a lot of my questions. Am concerned about the audio, but if I have to do a live stream, maybe I can run the sound through my laptop.
Consider the new DJI as well. I'm happy with it as its less bulky for the same performance.
The action 3 is getting fabulous reviews
Great video comparison. I got the 4K Akaso 7000 and while Akaso has not been able to match the colors of the GoPro, the value is insane. Maybe on your next comparison outing it would be interesting to see if you can match the color and contrast in post.
thanks for the review .... the audio was definitely a big reason why i didn't get it even though it was on special for $110.
That's it.. You had me at.. " TWO BATTERY'S". Great Review!
You mentioned a couple of times about the Akaso narrow field of view compared to the GoPro. What setting were you using for the Akaso? It can go to 170 degrees.
I want to use an action camera for mostly mountain hikes in the rainforest and for wildlife checkups inside of pools/streams/ponds (tadpole management).
Which camera would you recommend?
Good review because I am looking at both. Loved both comparison. Side by side excellent!!
Congratulations for your work 👏👏👏. Thanks to you I bought GoPro HERO 9 Black.
Excellent! Very helpful.
The AKASO Brave 7 Action Camera showed good potential but not there yet. i experienced condensation in the inner lens every single time, after 5 mins of operation, making it totally unusable. I don't recommend anyone getting the current version until they are able to fix this fundamental issue.
your review was very helpful
thank you
Glad to hear that!
really
you make good comparisons :)
I have both. I agree with you. I use my Akaso as a mounted camera. I like my GoPro 9 better.
I do have a small question though, so far what was your favorite underdog (as you called it) actioncamera? I'd mostly if not even only be using it for diving, so a waterproof case up to 60m has to be available for purchase
I'm just looking for something simple and not too expensive to replace my Sony ASV
4K would definitely be nice but GoPros are a little bit too expensive
TIA!
Bought me the akaso from your review, for the price it suits my needs, no too much worried about the sound as I always put music on my videos.
Is the camera stabilizer good? Is there shaking when shooting while running and so on?
Nice review, but what programm do you use for making the split screen ?
Love those comparisons but they often feel like GoPro puff pieces... Could you please set the GoPro and the Akaso similarly for post prod (low contrast, flat, natural color etc), and show us the raw and the post production. What can you do with each product? Comparing the two cameras with out of the box settings it not that informative and it doesn't do justice to either camera (GoPro can record a flatter image that we can actually use for instance).
Another sick comparison, keep up with the hard work!👍
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for information
Yes! Akaso goes OUT of my action camera list!
The Akaso brave 7 sounds quieter than normal.
But what I also saw is the Akaso brave 7 has an updated version and the Akaso brave 7le now supports an external microphone
I just subscribed. Thanks for the share.
Wondering if the akasko might be better for backpacking? Lots of complaints about the freezing problems with go pro. Watching all your vids trying to pick the best overall lightweight solution because I can't carry the heavy camera gear anymore and keep my knees. Thanks for the content.
Akaso cameras generally don't crash. Also because you get less features and not so great computation being done. But for the basic use case as he has demonstrated, akaso are good. At this current price of the akaso I would recommend the dji osmo action. Akaso are good if it's priced at about $100. Maybe you can also look into the dji pocket series, and you might like them more.
Anyone have both camer
Akaso latest model and hero 11, which is better
Pls comment
Class review
Yeah. I returned my Brave 7. How any manufacturer could release a product that only one of the two key features (Video and Audio) worked, I can't understand. If they could fix their audio, it might be a worthwhile GoPro substitute when you don't need high action.
i recently bought a vantop moment 4 and got it for 60 bucks and comes with a ton of accessories. though the quality sucked I was very impressed for what i got for the price.
Thanks a lot!!
Perhaps I missed it, but how do we get decent audio on the akaso ? since even the lav was bad audio
I think the audio from the built-in mic is what would set these apart. Plus the stabilization on the GoPro is a bit better (and the color out of the camera--the other one looks a little washed out) and for example at 3:00 you can see more cloud detail from the GoPro.
I mean I'm surprised for $150, that camera doesn't do too bad, and I've seen worse. But, honestly, if it was me, if I couldn't afford a Hero 9, I'd probably still opt for an older GoPro Hero Black edition (maybe a 7 or 8, or one used) over a $150 knock-off brand. The other thing I think were they would stand apart is durability.
I do like how Akaso even "stole" the box design and similar layout as the GoPro.
One thing i think you should add to these comparisons is torture test, because many of them will get wet, dropped, dragged, etc. I think if you can do that, then it would be a more rounded review, other than just feature comparisons, which is helpful but durability especially for action cams, is also important. Even if the Akaso can come close to the GoPro in recording specs and overall features, if it shatters the first time it hits the ground, then for many people, it will be a no-go.
The dude looks orange and so does the pavement with the GoPro. I wouldn't give GoPro points for that over the Akaso.
I'd go for the Akaso for small day to day tasks, for sure. If I may ask, what was that scooter you were riding on?
The two things you didn’t address that I would want before buying the Akaso is can I Connect it to an external anchor battery for long recording time and can I run it with my GoPro smart remote.
Wow! The sound is so dramatically bad on the Akaso that this is no longer a hard decision. Thanks for demonstrating the sound quality so well!
Akaso looks good the stabilization isn't horrible.
Nice. Thank you
I kinda like it better when the image stabilization is good enough rather than too good. I want my bike ride to look a little bumpy rather than I’m riding on a floating hover bike
Nice point
Amo estas comparaciones.
Gracias Ben!!🤩💫
You're the best ever sir!!!👊🏻👊🏻
5:41 wow just look at the difference in the flowers’ colour !
Great catch! I'm glad someone saw that one, the Akaso does this odd grey'ish color on blown out highlights
That is so strange thanks for pointing it out
The camera firmware likely was doing very aggressive purple fringe correction (where highlights can turn purplish) and has mistaken the purple highlights as that and turned its saturation down.
How easy is to move videos and photos to pcs? And how easy/ hard is to use the mobile apps with them?
Tucker Upper is the quickest picker upper! Get that gold!
Is the included case strong enough to support mounting it on a general aviation aircraft where it is subjected to 160 mph winds...?
Hoping you can help me out.
I'm looking to purchase the akaso brave 7 (version 2). And have some questions.
1. Do you know of a head mount strap for it? I see ones for the brave 7 LE but apparently those don't work for the normal 7 (no idea why). I absolutely cannot find anyone selling one that works with the brave 7... makes no sense!
2. Does it have Bluetooth and if so, would that allow me to be able to mount the brave 7 say on my head mount strap (if I can locate one) and connect the brave 7 to bluetooth to my cellphone and be able to see LIVE video of exactly what the camera is being able to see?
I'd want that so when on my head that I can ensure it's capturing what I am wanting it to capture.
Thanks very much
I watched on a 27" monitor. The Akaso Brave has higher resolution/sharpness than GoPro as I can see more facial features and details, and finer details in the houses and trees/leaves when you're WALKING. When scooting around, the GoPro wins hands down. Yes, Akaso's color is faint/washed out but that can be corrected with a firmware release, I'm sure.
Thx
Hello Alex, I don't agree, look at the road when he rides the scooter, with the Akaso the road has no detail while with the Gopro you can see all the granularity of the road. And on his face, I see a Hero 9 that shows more details.
@@mouradhocine9038 Now we have GoPro Hero 10... :)
Akaso just doesn’t compare, lol!
But would love to see
Insta360 Go 2 vs DJI Osmo Action😯
Go2 is small with lots of accessories, but does its 20mbps less video bit rate and sound quality quantify the extra $100 over Osmo Action?
if i want to use two such camera to film 3d videos, is it possible that i control them for example with a phone app, so that i can keep them synchronize with eachother?
Akaso Brave 7 : Definitely Best for the money . I believe that Akaso for additional 50 $ can improve audio and video stability .
+ filter HDR++
I was really looking at the Akaso until you did the volume test. What good is it if you can't hear anything.
Does the camera have a removeable front lens? The ozmo action I believe is cheaper and has is better all around.
These test are awesome. Honestly if you are using these cheaper cameras as a 2nd or 3rd Camera these are useful pickups. My gripe with GoPro is, how are you allowing these Cameras to have comparable images at a 3rd of the price without the freezing that the GoPro suffers from at times.
Bought my OSMO Action on release and with updates and now at $199.00 I would just buy another one in a heartbeat.
what osmo gives same or better performance for $150 ?
True the quality should not be any where near the same, only doing these comparison to try and convince people that gopo is yhe best? It's not I agree much prefer the osmo action👌
Ben, would you recommend GoPro 9 over GoPro 8? GoPro 9 is about $120 more expensive then 8 in Europe. Is it worth that price?
@@relate97 why
Very nice video. I have the same problem when I record. Can you tell me what program do you use to boost the audio level up at “ 01:17 À 01:33 ” please?
not sure if you have one yet, but can you do a comparison with Brave 7 vs Osmo action? I'm a few clicks away from upgrading to Osmo action from Brave 7 Le
Good video my friend thanks your sharing
Thanks for visiting
I think i'm going to go with the Akaso... The videos I make with it will mostly be action shots, more still ones would likely be with my phone. So Audio is important, but not a deal breaker. I actually like the colors more on it, vs the warmer tones on the GoPro... Which both can be edited after the fact. NBD.
thanks for this comparison.. is Brave 7 good as underwater camera " for scuba diving" ? thanks
I purchased a Akaso Brave 7LE and bought an Akaso Brave external 7 mic on Amazon to find out the mic doesn’t fit the Jack. Does the 7LE accept an external Akaso mic?
wow super nice,I love it😊
Can inuse external mic for Arkaso
thank you for sharing
I think it will interesting for you did you read about new Moza Moin Camera (osmo pocket with big screen) ?
i just bought the akaso brave7 and yes the audio isnt great its not near as bad as this test shows maybe they did an update?
can you do an osmo action vs akaso brave 7 comparison please
The Ikaso seems like a nice inexpensive alternative if it had audio? Appears to be missing
I just love how my GoPro never shuts off and drains the battery dead while stored away. I also love all the bugs in it for $450. Weeee
This channel is hands down the best place for Gopro bashers to unite.
@@charliebrown8867 GP pioneered action cam but has taken many missteps. Only minor improvement over Hero 7 Black and Hero 8 with no removable lens? Hero 9 lots of software issues and outdated CPU. $200 OSMO basically the Hero 9 in most ways but GoPro still has nicest menus and most custom options. Also, Insta360 (1" sensor!) did what gopro should have done years ago with interchangeable lens system. Hero 10 is a make or break and Hero 9 users should be offered a trade in credit. GoPro could have owned the vlogging space and missed a HUGE opportunity. Now powerful phones are attacking the entire cam market.
@@pcofranc Your points are the same arguments I hear over and over again. Insta 1” sensor is impressive on paper, but have you really done stuff with it in post? It’s not all that to be honest. People love bashing Gopro and I get it. “Hero 8 only a minor improvement over 7”? True, but they are only a year apart. They never promised anything revolutionary year after year. If you own a Hero 7 and decide 8 is not much of an upgrade, you’re more than fine sticking with the 7. In fact, that’s what lots of RUclips reviews focus on. I’ve had a faulty unit myself but the customer service was outstanding and gave me a new one, no questions asked. Hero 9 with “lots” of software issues and outdated? Care to elaborate on what you mean by outdated? Phones have been “attacking” the cam market yes, but good luck taking your phone skydiving. Gopro was supposed to go bankrupt years ago but guess what, they still own 90% of the action camera market. Boo! I have no issue with people bashing Gopros FYI. People will do what they’ll do.
and now yo can enjoy 20 minutes overheat
@David Young Exposing?? Haha, get yourself a Garmin then. Riding 500 miles isn’t what Gopro is about. You need a dash cam.
How does it compare to the $199 DJI osmo action?
Dji wins
The most important thing: which one is easier to download? to edict? to youtube?
That looks like such a nice place to live
Hey! Have You tested Akaso under the salt (sea) water without extra waterproof housing?
Hi.. May i ask u something.. If i use external mic like boya on akaso brave 7..it will solve the audio problem?
From what I saw, the Akaso is a classic case of "you get what you pay for".... Definitely decent value for the money.,
Prefer: definitely the right side. But having said that it looks to me as though the white balance is off on the right side and likely the left is more accurate. On their own you really wouldn't notice. Sound could be an issue.
Question for the Brave 7 can you shoot vid/pics and send directly to IPhone, like with GoPro....
Thank you.
Which budget action camera is best for underwater and still pictures ? 🤔
If AKASO spent their budget of dual display into better sensor and mic it would have been more awesome a simple solution for that could be using wifi for screen share like in other cameras. Anyway its a good budget cam just could have focused on improvement on one thing instead of giving secondary featured with lesser quality 👎
what's a good internet source for used gopros? besides amazon...
If I’m just wanting it for underwater and don’t need sound, is it worth just getting the akaso?
What camera are you using?
i Got osmo Action, Akaso Brave 7 and 3 Gopro Black 9. Hands down The Gopro is the all around best, form colors, stabilization and Well Manufactured
So the go pro picture looks like garbage and makes things orange. Any way to fix that? Wait for the next model?
Can these record for 2hrs straight without overheating or freezing? I need to record sports games they usually last between 2-3hrs
If you meant recording as a spectator, you'd probably be better off just buying a used HD camcorder(that records to an SD card), they're easily small enough to fit in your pocket, have good stabilization, often have massive optical zoom, good audio, bigger lcd, never overheat, etc.
Personally I have an older Panasonic HC-V210M, and I'd definitely prefer that over a Gopro or similar for general recording.
Would happen to know where I can purchase the black mounting bracket for the Brave 7?... Thanks in Advance!!
Finally booked one go pro 9 😀😌
Can you synchronize several of the akaso cameras to start recording all at the same time
What is the best affordable product on the market for travel vlogging?
What is a very budget friendly action camera with good audio and eis
Has anyone recorded something fairly loud with the akaso? I plan to use a camera mounted to a sand rail and his audio test was just him talking at a normal voice. Curious if something loud comes through or if it's just broken.
La marca akaso me parece de muy buena calidad es muy accesible y si no quieres gastar tanto pues me párese buena opción
