This camera looks great, I’m ordering one now 🙌🏾 great review 👏🏽

Greg, I thank you for your professional, informative and very detailed reviews! Thanks to your reviews I have just purchased my first AKASO camera. I’m starting with the EK-7000 for now, but I will move up to the more advanced models! I have DSLR’s (Canon & Olympus) and a camcorder, but this is my first action camera and I can’t wait to receive it and take it for a spin! As a new subscriber, I will browse through your past videos in order to get up to speed on the AKASO brand. I’m glad that I didn’t shell out the extra money for a GO-PRO! Thank you again.

My Brave 7 LE will be hear tomorrow! Looking forward to trying it out. Great video!

Hey Cruisn I purchased the Akao V50x on your recommendation and it's been a great Camera. Looking at adding a second camera and am considering the Brave 7 LE . Use the V50x mainly for off road Motorcycling so the 4k 30fps and the image stabilization of the V50x is most important. Aside from the obvious addition of the waterproofing re there any other upgrades/downgrades from the V50x to the Brave 7 LE? Thanks!

If that’s the case you’re right mainly because the Brave 6 plus has the same stabilization firmware (2.0 6 axis) It is an a shame that Akaso did great job with the 7 LE but only went 90% of the way. An external mic option or input is a must if you ask me. Keep the rubber side down my friend

That's unfortunate. I've had pretty much used all the current Akaso lineup and the only one that I had issues with was the V50 Elite. If you can afford a GoPro, OSMO or Insta360 style camera then you should do that, as they are definitely higher quality cameras. But if on a budget, for most, these do just fine. At least that's my experience.

Bit at 127 for the 7LE with the water housing and mounts, pricing didn't drop much over time. Adding it to the EK7000, which seemed to have some bugs in the firmware, and I could see the advantage for stabilization in walking scenery and underwater shots. For selfie shots it seems stabilization doesn't help.

Now thats an interesting camera!! I just wish it had an external mic support. As I've read, only brave 6 plus gets external mic support. Can you put it up against Akaso V50PRO SE.

Im a bit late but , but l have the 7... you cannot have image stabalisation on in any mode when the fish eye correction is on .. The 4k with I.S on is cropped and then resampled back up to 4k .. 2k60 is the highest setting that supports I.S native. If you view through the camera app you can see all this happening in realtime as you alter settings (there is no access to IS or lens correction in the app though..you have to disconnect to alter these settings ..(all smoke and mirrors)

Exactly. Will hopefully be testing it later this week!

It seemed with image stabilization off, the background showed more movement but your head remained steady. Though maybe it was because there wasn't as much walking shots with the IS turned off to compare with. But it was a distinct impression your head was bouncing around against a steady background with IS on 18:07, vs the background bouncing around with a steady face with IS off 18:58. May be because you were holding the camera in a consistent position relative to your head, so the jouncing around didn't need stabilization.

Does no one ever look at recorded clips on the camera and instead only view them after offloading them? I haven't seen any reviews noting this, so I'm wondering if the firmware I've got is different from the one a year ago, when all the reviews were done.
