Thank you for the very informative and detailed review! My EK 7000 was just delivered today ( Memorial Day) and I am unboxing it as I am watching your video! Looking at your video using the EK 7000, the main feature that is missing is the EIS (electronic image stabilization) which is noticeable when you were walking and with your RC. I believe that this camera will work great on a tripod (stationary) or just limiting my arm movement while recording. I would have to use my wrist like a gimbal. I will gladly work with this camera for a while and then move up to the Bravo. Also, I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to your next video on the AKASO brand of cameras.

I watched this video about 2 months ago and I purchased it. I have been using it for my KZread videos the past 2 months and the only problem that I have noticed is the EIS. I film skiing with it and I definetly notice it shaking sometimes. That might lead to me buying a GoPro but it is definitely great for the price. Thanks for the review
