I purchased this to capture footage of our kids playing sports so it will usually be mounted to a fence so I think the image stabilization should not be an issue. Also with the lights on baseball and softball fields in the evening I think should make the performance in poor lighting also hopefully not be an issue. I bought got my husband because he requested it and when he saw it at Christmas with all of the parts, he literally put it on a shelf and has not touched it since. I do all things technical in our house so I got it out this week and your video was very helpful to get me started as the getting started guide is very light on direction.

@@TheTechnologyMan Thank you and yes it would appear to be a fault but my fault really for not trying it sooner. I took it as read that it was working but did not try uintil three months after purchase. The one I had before that was water damaged but is now working again and the one I bought to replace it is now obsolete so more fool me really. Should have checked after purchase.

Sound is not great - you could always record sound separately and sync in post ...

My sons are harassing me for a gopro. This camera seems like a much more budget friendly option for them to start with. They are 13 and 10 and want to make children's/gaming videos to post on KZread and the like. I'm heavily leaning towards this cheaper option to get them started in their hobby. It sounds, from your conclusions, that you suggest this camera for them to start with as well!? I would be very upset if they broke or destroyed the more expensive camera where as with this one, no tears need to be shed. Any more advice or input would be greatly appreciated. This camera has been sitting in my shopping cart for a few months while I decide which option would be best for them to start with. Thank you for your video, it's been very helpful in my decision making process but like I said, if you have anything further to add please reply asap. Cheers.

If you give this camera enough light it will do a decent job. Even £20 on a decent LED or CFL light will help if filming indoors. I'd record sound separately and sync the audio if they look up how to do that. A smartphone maybe a better option though overall if they don't need the ruggedness of an action camera. Hooking up with a cheap Lavalier mic avoids the syncing and old iPhones or Samsung still have pretty good cameras. But more light indoors is still important ...

brother how can remove date and time for video /.

I don't have the camera to hand - but by default this is turned of IIRC - so check your settings or factory reset the camera.

To be honest for the price difference I didn't see a huge difference in picture quality, both cameras had blurry images in some cases, there wasn't that much difference, I have the Akaso EK7000 it never let me down, I have used it underwater, at night, on the move, as a dash cam and even as a CCTV camera, it always rose to the occasion. I am well pleased with it, it's in fact one of the rare cameras I have bought that didn't disappoint me. If people really want a cheap good (excellent) camera this is the one for you.

These cameras can get warm - unless it's hot to touch I wouldn't be too concerned but you could always check with Akaso.

It didn't officially support 128GB and didn't try it - I'd guess not but you could check with Akaso.

Question. Will this make everything seem far away and slow. I need a different camera. Because I got a dashcam but it makes it seem liks cars are miles away when they're almost hitting me. And like im going way slower then I am. And my dash cam has 170 view. So will this do that to. Since it also has 170 view

Sorry not really. Lots of action cams will let you change the field of view though - for example on a GoPro you could choose "Narrow" which would be more what you're after. But sorry not reviewed any dashcams.
