AKASO Brave 4 Action Camera 4K 30fps 20MP Ultra HD with EIS | WiFi Underwater Camera Waterproof Camcorder, 2 Batteries and Helmet Accessories Kit for Travel, Motorcycle, Bicycle

This is the first Action camera i’ve bought and I am very pleased indeed that I chose the Akaso Brave 4, after studying the many cameras on sale and the many reviews about them. The video quality is very good and the setup and use of the camera is extremely straightforward and intuitive ... so, even as a complete novice with Action cameras, I had set it up and was using it within about ten minutes. With this model there are lots of parameters you can set, such as the view angle, and so you can tailor the camera to different situations, although of course the default options give good results in normal conditions. The only slight concern I had when setting up was getting the micro-SD card to “catch” in the camera and I was a bit worried that I may be putting it in the wrong way around and risking getting it stuck in the tiny slot. A quick check of a video I found on YouTube confirmed that I was doing the right thing but that it is just a bit fiddly, so all was fine with a few more confident pushes of the micro-SD card into the slot. The quality of the camera, waterproof case and fittings is very good and it feels robust to use. The two- button wrist remote control is a fantastic accessory and works very well without any setup being required ... just press the video or still photo button as you require and it works and controls the camera immediately. I am sure the wrist remote control will be invaluable as I use the camera in different situations. I then looked at connecting the camera to my phone and that too could not have been easier: I first downloaded the Camlink App to my iPhone 6s from the Apple App Store and then very easily linked the camera to my phone using the camera’s in built Wifi and I could immediately control the camera from my phone ... taking videos and stills, viewing live feed and recordings and downloading or deleting files on the micro-SD card as I please. So, as a complete novice with Action cams I found the set up, connectivity and use of this camera to be very easy, the build quality to be robust, the accessories to be comprehensive (the wrist remote control being particularly valuable) and the video results to be very good. The whole thing is very straightforward to use and gives very good results. I have no hesitation in recommending the Akaso Brave 4 camera.

So as a TV and Film professional and lecturer I have always been interested in these GoPro Alternatives (Clones). Up until now the SJ3000 has probably been the best cheap alternative and while it is still cheaper than the AKASO, it really falls a long way short of the quality. For this review I asked my students to take it out and also give me their opinions as they use GoPros a lot in their work. Firstly out of the box we were all amazed by the range of accessories and the two batteries. The students also really liked the back screen and the wristband. They then set of with a car mount to film some driving to see how well it would work at speed. The set up they chose was 1080p at 60fps although this camera does have both 2k and 4k options, however they are big fans of 60fps for YouTube. After driving around for an hour they came back to view the footage and we were blown away with the quality at this price. They honestly felt it was up with a GoPro, personally I felt it was fantastic but the sky didn't quite have the contrast I would have liked. However the white balance was set to auto and perhaps setting it to 'cloudy day' would have given better results. Furthermore internal shots in our building were amazing, the quality here was certainly comparable to the GoPro. The motion was incredibly smooth and although the camera handled the bumps well, we later found that it has a gyroscope that we could have turned on to improve the smoothness. With so many options and settings this camera does really tick all the boxes for someone who is looking to film some sports or wants a GoPro but doesn't need the high-end quality I sometimes require for client work. Overall it is a very impressive camera for the price point and one of my students has already purchased one after the test. Good Points - Excellent quality - Wide range of setting including my favorites 4k, 1080p@60 and 720p@120fps - Inbuilt gyroscope - Waterproof - Wifi - Wrist strap - Excellent accessories And if you watch the rest video remember Amazon hugly compresses the video quality as it is not a hosting site. The actual video is very crisp. I hope you found this review helpful.

I bought this camera in March 2018, for a holiday later that month. Overall, I am very satisfied with the camera. The camera itself is very easy to use. The pictures and video are superb. The only drawbacks are that the settings to keep the camera image stable (during video) are not very effective. The other disadvantage is that when the camera is inside one of the housings, the microphone is sealed inside. Unless you talk quote loudly, the camera mic won't pick it up. I saw some videos on YouTube on how to attach an external mic, but the soldering of wires etc put me off. Akaso ought to sell an external mic that can be attached to the camera housing (on top). The sound issue can be somewhat solved by drilling a hole in the side of the camera housing, which I will probably do at some point. The image quality of both video and photos was excellent. I am very pleased overall. Just in case you're wondering, you can't attach any of the attachments directly to the camera. You can, of course, hold the camera in your hand, but you can't use any of the attachments. The attachments can only be used in conjunction with one of the clear perspex housings (there are two included). I bought a GoPro handheld tripod (circa 30 quid). It attached to the camera housing very well. That's what I used the majority of the time. Great buy. Don't waste money on the expensive GoPro! Buy this. Save money, and be glad you did when playing back the images on your TV (or computer)!

I purchased the camera primarily for an upcoming trip to South Africa. I have a Canon DSLR with good video capabilities but it seemed a good idea to have something that was small, discrete and that I could just set going (e.g. on a game drive) and leave (editing the files later to remove unwanted footage). I did quite a bit of review reading and purchased this camera. I subsequently used it on a trip to Kiev which included a day visiting the Chernobyl exclusion zone so was able to give it a thorough run through its paces. I should start by pointing out that this is a camera package for under £80 - you perhaps should not expect it to perform to the level of units costing 3 or 4 times more. Plus points; Good picture quality, a selection of video formats (allowing adjustment of quality versus recording time); fantastic range of accessories as supplied; selection of picture angles (the widest is 170 deg and gives a good field of view), brilliantly small, cheap enough that, in the event of an accident, you aren't going to worry too much about damage, able to be controlled from your mobile/tablet via an app, comes with a basic wrist worn remote that allows you to start and stop video and take still photos. Points to watch; It stores videos as a series of 3 minute files - just something to watch as you need to stitch longer files together with some sort of editor. I have seen people criticising the construction. It's an £80 camera! If you don't have decent finger nails you will need some sort of small tool (e.g. screw driver) to get the microSD card in and out and also access the battery compartment. The cover for the latter is not attached in any way so you do need to to be careful not to drop and lose it. When in waterproof housing, you get little or no audio. Fair enough you don't really hear under water and if you create a seal you have no air transmission path for the sound anyway. If you want to protect the camera from moisture whilst, say, skiing, my suggestion would be to buy a second housing and make a small hole in it where the microphone is. Note that this camera does NOT support an external mic (some of the more expensive Akaso models do). It also only records in mono. I did see a review that said the mounting frame did not fit. Mine did so if this was an issue, Akaso have obviously responded to feedback and dealt with it. The manual supplied doesn't have very much info. There is a much better version on line. My only real criticism would be that I would have liked to have seen a lens cover supplied. I keep the camera in a soft bag to avoid scratching the lens but a small plastic cap would be better (perhaps I can 3D print one!) Overall I am delighted with the camera and I have confident it will brilliantly fulfill the role for which I purchased it.

Being a motorcyclist, I value the need in the current driving climate of a dash cam. As a result I have tried a number of makes of camera but struggle to justify the cost of a good quality Go Pro. The difficulty of mounting a dash cam on a motorcycle is that it needs to be lightweight, lens angle adjustable, weatherproof, the mounting position to get an extensive view, the stabilising ability of the camera to get clear footage and the ability to record for the duration of a day's run before recharging is required. I have found this camera to be excellent value for money and meets all the requirements and more for motorcycling as highlighted above. The down side was the recording time as it the case with most other cameras, however this one, by providing an extra battery goes some was to address this. Ideally charged batteries should provide more or less a full day's runtime. At least spare batteries can be obtained for this camera. The lack of sound on the video (in built microphone closed off) while encased in the waterproof casing is also a bit limiting. The variety of accessories provided with this camera is a real bonus. This has proved to be an excellent product for the money with good and clear footage and is now my goto action camera.

Not going to lie I was a little dubious about this product, could this be as good as other brands that cost 10x as much as this, honestly I wasn't expecting it to be at best I was expecting poor battery life, poor quality video etc etc BUT no the camera it self is actually rather good quality, easy to use, light and the battery life surprisingly longer than said in the ad doing a time lapse video a single battery lasted almost 2 and half hours before needing charging. The batteries however do take a long time to charge fully a good 3/4 hours but at least you get two batteries included with the camera and you can buy spares realtively cheap too if you wanted more, plus all the extra fittings and attachments included you get with it are quite well made thought maybe they would be quite fragile but do the job and free unlike a certain more popular well known branded camera where they would cost you extra, and added bonus everything that fits the well known brand fits this too. If your thinking about it just buy it you won't regret it. (Video added is in 1080p format)

Had this about a month now and use it for my cycle to work and back ,I'm a shift worker so plenty of night time cycle witch is the only thing that let's this down is using it at night, just remember this is a cheap budget camera and for that it works great during day light hours, if your gonna use this at night just make sure what your recording is properly lit up , or you have decent cycle lights to light up the way or you have good street lighting or else your not recording much, apart from that one thing, it's a good bit of kit for price , connecting to phone with WiFi and using app is straight forward, just remember this ain't no go pro but the next best thing on a budget , comes with lots of attachments for everything you'll need to attach it to .if it had better night time recording I'd of give it 5 stars , but if it's never gonna be used at night you'll be fine with it .
