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.

Great value camera..my second Akaso. Taken it scubs diving, cycling and snorkeling with some excellent photos. Great better value alternative to GoPro

Great solid product. Easy to use.

I was on the lookout for my first action camera and on doing a bit on-line research the brand Akaso cropped up, so I checked out some YouTube videos and they looked ok, I was hoping to get the Akaso 6 plus or Brave 7 but couldn't find them on Amazon so decided just to take a chance on the 7 le, I haven't actually gotten the chance to test it out and about due to contracting the C virus so have been stuck in doors. I have managed to take a couple of snaps and a short time lapse video from my bedroom window (not very exciting). The image quality looks ok and I am hoping to test it out properly when I go to the lake district in a month's time. The camera comes with an impressive amount of accessories including waterproof case, two batteries and remote control watch which seems to work well enough. The camera feels well built with an easy to use touch screen though the the compartment covers for the battery and connection ports are difficult to open but this is due to the fact it is waterproof and they need to be tight fitting. I would say this would be a good first action cam, not to expensive and comes with almost everything you need, I did purchase some extra bits a case and other attachments. So for a first action camera I would say its a good buy. Note - My firs pic showing the Akaso bundle was taken with my phone and not the Akaso 7 le.

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.

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.

I cant justify the cost of a GoPro but I've always been disappointed by the video and picture quality of cheaper options. I'm pleased to say the Brave 7 LE produces some great video and still photos. I can't fault the device and the standout points are as follows: 1. Pictures and videos are good quality and the image stabilisation does a great job of keeping things watchable from bumpy off road trail rides. 2. Another killer of cheaper action cameras after poor footage/pics is the often terrible user interface. Instead the akaso is logical and easy to understand and remember the controls. The app connects your phone and the Brave the first time without faff. The wrist mounted remote control works well and has separate buttons for video and stills so no need to change the settings on the camera when the time comes. 3. The supplied accessories are numerous, a waterproof case, plenty of brackets, mounts etc are included along with a twin battery charger and two batteries! 4. Battery life seems good, a single battery lasted a day out on the bike with a handful of 4k videos and numerous still pics taken. A 64gb card holds thousands of the highest resolution images the Brave can take (20mp) and a couple of hours of 4k video. 5. The buttons on the Brave are easy to operate and the twin screens are very useful. The standard tripod thread is great for using a Gorilla pod or similar. In short I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to someone looking to get an action camera.

Poor quality.
