Here, listen. 1. You open it from the bottom. 2. There is a SECOND PROTECTIVE PLASTIC STICKER on the screen.

it's not a knockoff, legit most action camera makers go with the gopro design, akaso isn't tryna knockoff gopro, their more like a cheaper option to gopro

I have an older $30 "Momba ME10" action camera that looks comparable in image quality to the Akaso, though it doesn't have a touch screen. Doesn't seem worth it even at 1/3rd the price of the Gopro. I know you did a first look video of the Insta360 One R, but I'd like to see a detailed look at their internal audio quality. I'd imagine the sound from the One R could be different between the various modules in that system too unless all of the mics are in the screen piece. The 1" sensor module plus the extended battery pack look pretty appealing from a specs standpoint at least. EDIT: I noticed the Insta360 One R forces the use of their app. That a big nope to me. I'm looking at the DJI Osmo Action instead now that they've been updating the firmware to reduce the "rock steady" lag a lot.
I've filmed all of my KZread videos so far with the Akaso Pro and never once had an issue. The video quality is good and the audio is usable

I've got a Akaso EK7000 laying around, but I don't have a fast enough storage card to record at decent quality. I was thinking of just getting a GoPro but yours looks far better than mine in quality. My videos are grainy (Newer dell webcam integrated into laptop) and look like they are shot on a flip-phone camera, I think tomorrow I'll get a card for my Akaso. Might film the sound a different way though. Iono.

@@mervinted hey that was six months ago. I stopped using the Akaso Pro a long time ago and have a proper set up now.
The bundling of the accessories and extra batteries by Akaso is an example of how the big guys should bundle their products as well, instead of making people pay through their nose for the extras. A big thumbs up for that!👍
I bought the Akaso V50 pro SE between christmas and new year 2019 for €81, it was on sale on amazon. Bought the external mic as well for €9,95. Pretty decent for the money.
Is this a GoPro ad? The other one looks like cell phone footage from 10 years ago.

Just bought the V50x and it's a great entry action cam. They did the update on the button where the record button is on the top. However, the noise on record and stop record is still the same! They should really make a different beep for stop record. The trick is to press PHOTO to stop the video as the photo makes a different noise and stops the video recording.
@jayryan7473

This is a weird comment. There's no photo button, and there's no record button on the v50x LOL. There's only a shutter button, and it's to start or stop the video if you're in video mode, or to take a photo if you're in photo mode. It's all the same button.
Is this a rebuild Rollei 560 Touch? The Menus and Button layout looks exactly like the 560 TOUCH.
My tinnitus became active when you switched to the built-in mic. Thanks!
This $100 camera is not as good quality as a $400 camera. I'm shocked. Thanks bro.
Hey potato Jet u don't need that camera just give to me ................ that's all i have to say ........... your great, thanks Man ....
Thanks! Thorough comparison of the two cameras. Lots to think about.
Hey Potato Jet! Thanks for the great vids and entertainment! Love your channel. When will you share your thoughts on the S1H?
Wanted to try an action camera without investing as much as a GoPro. Picked up the Akaso V50 Pro for the value-to-money ratio, must say I was pretty impressed for the price. But that's also where it went south. Like you mentioned, it does suffer terrible audio issues, to the point, that I actually shipped an external mic from the US to India to get it sorted. (Also, it only supports the proprietary mic and the availability is terrible). Few months down, I think it's still a good buy and today when I came across this video, I was genuinely suprised that you reviewed it. Great stuff man, like always. Pointed out the right things that I feel a lot of reviewers have missed out! 🙌

I know this is a very old thread however I do want to point out my Akaso had a terrible speaker when playing from the camera, however when playing from my computer the audio is GREAT.
i have the akaso v50 pro se and it fixes the screen issue were it gets scratched really easy and i don’t have any issues for a budget action camera it’s amazing
But if you shoot in 1080p 60fps and stabilization does it crop the wide angle?
what do you mean" deep in the menu?" how to access it?
Akaso is ok... would make a good addition to my interview rig. Ill throw my hat in
Loved the tangent about the lighting at 5:20 😂
Could use y'all's advice. I have a small auto channel and am moving towards doing reviews. Would like an action cam I can attach to the dash/window to record when I'm test-driving and can not bring myself to pay for a gopro. the Akaso has caught my eye, but if anyone has a suggestion for a better and affordable option I'd love to hear it!
Potato Jet, on the akaso what would you recommend as the best config for definition? I use it for a ride.
I'm surprised you were able to figure out that "watch" considering I didn't see the blue record button on it. Haha

I would love that Akaso. I only have one camera in my bag so having a second one would bring me the possibility of having different angles of all the projects I try to do. And I have never had an action camera, but I do climb and freedive, so I guess it would be AWESOME to add in my favorite sports to my videos! Greetings from Europe! (spain!)
Hi, may I ask whether the AKASO Cam fits the same mounts and accessories as the GoPro? I wanted to buyer a cheaper option for cycling and was looking at the AKASO. Thanks
Would be interested to see a video comparing this to an older gopro that you can buy for a similar amount. My guess is that even an older gopro would come out on top, maybe not in terms of features but in image quality. Similar to the way the image quality of your old Alexa is much better than newer cameras costing a similar amount
Akaso would be a good "stunt camera" especially if it was mounted securely.
Yi 4k+ was an amazing hero 5/6 competitor but it looks like the stopped making all action cameras.

Yep hands down great camera. I have the regular 4k and for 100 bucks and 4 battery. It's pretty darn good.
which is better dslr or go pro is for recording cooking video?
Damn man you're such a unique and entertaining youtuber. I love your videos even if I am not interested in items you're reviewing. Keep it up and many many success in the future.
Here’s a simple solution for those who need a camera. 1. These cheap cameras offer 4k and they lie. At best they are 720. 2. The batteries are crap. 3. Look good on small screens but horrible on larger screens, like a laptop or tv. 4. If you want true 4k quality, stabilization, etc... Buy a refurbished IPhone SE or 6s. I use the SE because it’s small and less expensive than the 6s BUT has better camera options (like slow-no). I have an IPhone 11 Max Pro but needed a 2nd camera to do live streams and range videos. The 4k on the SE is excellent and true 4k. It also has better audio and can accept external mics. Plus there’s an abundance of waterproof cases, gimbals, and rigs for attaching accessories.

ShironTHPS ShironTHPS Those cameras are not cheap. You’d pay $140 for Thieye T5e with a true 5mp sensor (not 10 as it claims) and crap Ambrella chipset... versus a $70 IPhone with a true 12mp sensor, phase focus, A9 processor, touch screen, longer battery life? iPhones have great stabilization, much better ISO, better video frame rates, better quality video, better build quality and the added benefits of being able to use various apps + connect to WiFi.

Big fan of Gopro and got the 8 a few weeks ago. The 8 is so versatile, took it to Japan, and used it for 'tourist' shots. This is a great video, just confirmed I had made a good choice. You get what you pay for. I use the go pro for cutaways on shoots, its a really great camera. Love the videos! Will hunt down your archive!
Which is the best Eken with stabilizer at the moment? Which is the best Akaso with stabilizer at the moment? Any other competitor in this price range with stabilizer? Thank you!
Why is it a knock off just because it's another brand? A knock off would be a fake Go Pro branded camera that wasn't actually a Go Pro.
I think we all predicted this one.
Made a review on this also - the V50 has a second sticky plastic film protector on top of the glass, that's what scratched up so fast - I thought the same. Almost impossible to peel off with fingernail but you can see it.
Hello my videos with it comes up like pixelated do u know how to fix it or is it just like that

Hello (: I have a question, it is possible to switch from normal video to slow motion with the waterproof case on, per example? Meanwhile you are diving and you can't take the case off. I have the feeling that, since the screen is not working meanwhile the case is on, the general options are really limited with just the two buttons on top... Thank you for your help!
I would take that Akaso :D having that vs having no action camera akaso wins :D

An older Yi Action Camera 4K would be cheaper ($75 or less) and have better image quality than the Akaso. You'll lose out on some features but ultimately image quality wins the day.

This is considered GOLD in the budget action cam segment. The mic is surprisingly good compared to its competition. Just take note of the model and wait for price to come down. Two hours is too short for me on the other side of the planet! You are the first video i watch when i woke up and it's too late!
Oof I would love to have that akaso or what ever it's called.
Potato Jet talking about something people can afford. Thats new. lol
So how's the stabilization when it's turned on?
I have an older Akaso EK5000 that's apparently supposed to shoot 4k but welp. I can do a review of how Akaso has improved compared to its older hardware. What I'd say is the image quality of the V50 isn't all that different from the EK5000 but I'm curious to compare the two.

Great info on the v50. While i don't think it's fair to compare the current gopro with something 1/3 the price. Since you mentioned you can pick up a Hero 5 for the same price how does it compare to the v50.
Akaso is a WASTE OF MONEY. You've done a great job at absolutely roasting the knock-off. Go Pro will be pleased with you.
I had a Yi 4k but within 3 months it had gone off, wouldn't start and Yi service tried to give me a big runaround for 2 months. Filling questionnaires. Handovers. Ignoring. Finally Amazon replaced it and the Yi rep was angry. Conclusion : *NEVER BUY A YI CAMERA.CHINESE COMPANIES RIP PEOPLE OFF DELIBERATELY*
For a future video I’d love to see some comparisons of LED tube lights! I trust your reviews / comparisons more than anyone!
I'd take also take a look at the akaso v50x. The picture isn't as sharp but the stabilization is the best I've seen on a budget action cam.
Thank you for your inputs, I always look forward to your videos
Always fun Gene! Have you been to highway 2 through Angeles National Forest? It is awesome on a bike!
Is there a gimbal option for akaso you would recommend? Thanks 😊
i am kinda in a low budget, the akaso would be my option but still have to save a little. would you be kind to throw that one in for me.🤟🤟🤟 watching from the philippines.
Can we turnoff screen of v50 pro while recording......To save battery......
I’m using akaso on almost all my in-action cycling vlogs. It’s not a great action cam, but it works fine to me, serves its purpose. Even if it fell on the ground, it hurts less. Been using it for few years, and it broke few months ago. Good thing, potato jet is giving me an Akaso V50. 😇😇😇
