Akaso sent us the V50x action camera to check out. They say it can ALMOST replace a GoPro. After checking it out, it’s definitely not the same as a GoPro, but when it’s significantly cheaper, it’s definitely a good buy for tons of people.

    Live in Canada so prices are high. Will be using this camera possibly for offroad motorcycling. Current have an EK 7000 and it takes forever to use stabilization to make it watchable. Need to have some stabilization at least.

    (Update) AKASO V50-X Update: After much experimentation, I have found that this Camera performs very well with the latest firmware of Nov 2019 except that when using the APP "ACASO Go" or "RoadCAM," the issue is that the soundtracks with either internal or external mics have Pops and Crack sounds. I have not been able to find a workaround for this issue. If you make movies without using the App(s), no problems using this Camera. In this mode, I would give it a 10 out of 10, including video quality (4k) and sound (internal or external mics.) Let us hope they fix this sound issue with their App in the next update

    in my life until now I follow one basic rule when I want to buy something. I buy everything I see that has a lot of negative comments, and ? IS THE BEST . You see comments everywhere for every product comparing it to something else that is 5 times more expensive and they are not satisfied with anything less. the camera for making your videos on KZread and for personal use is fine.where are the huge differences from gopro to justify such a big difference in price? I will tell you, because is GoPro . GoPro for 200 is ok but 550 with one batery ,without charger , 0 almost extra ? finally you need plus 150 euros only for one more batery and charger, and total amount 700. with 700 you can buy one really good dslr not one matchbox . several years ago it was playing football alone in the market, but right now there are many valuable companies in the competition. come on guys ... enough . nice video my friend.

    Question. I have watched this video and the one you have posted for the EK7000. Doesn’t sound like you are overly enthusiastic about either. I have never owned an action camera but I am looking to purchase one to record Slowpitch softball games. Probably either mounted on a tripod or attached to fencing. What action camera would you suggest for something like that? I am not looking to post to KZread but want to make the videos available for my team to watch on Facebook or something. Don’t really want to spend the money on a GoPro because I didn’t realize how expensive they were. Would you say go with a Yi camera, this v50x, something else all together, or just bite the bullet on a GoPro?

  • @DetroitTech

    @DetroitTech

    4 жыл бұрын

    The V50x will serve your purposes just fine, especially if you want to use a tripod. The camera doesn't support the video stabilization at 4k so the tripod is a must. Or you can drop it down to 1080 and getting a higher framerate if you want smoother slow mo. The Yi cameras I've used have been good as well. Either will work for what you need, I think.

    This camera has major issues when recording in 4k. most of the videos come out grainy and have video and audio dropouts. many people here on KZread have reported the same problem. Akaso for some reason fails to recognize this. Their answer is use a specific SD card to help eliminate that problem. Unfortunately there really has been no fix for this at all. other aspects of the camera are not bad at all however it is useless when you record in 4k to get a decent quality video that does not have freezing dropouts in audio dropouts.
