Akaso's latest 4K Action Camera costs just above $100 and comes with the usual amount of good accessories. You get a lot of mounts, two batteries and possibility for external microphone support.
What did I find out about the image quality? Is the image stabilization good enough to outperform other budget-friendly models? Check out the many samples included in the video and let me know how you feel about the Akaso Brave 4 Pro.

Thanks for this. I have v50 pro and v 50x and they have their strengths and weaknesses. This seems worse than either. That said, I do like the models I mentioned the most for time lapse and an extra b-footage camera or a camera you want to beat up the most. Creative shots where you don;t care about the survival of the camera over the quality of the footage. Akaso cameras are great to add to your main camera as extra angles on your activities.

As always an excellent and thorough review @tech4all. I currently use an aging (and now faulty) Thieye E7 which has served me extremely well, but the USB connector is no longer working so am looking for a new sub $150 camera. Do you have a current recommendation? Currently it looks like the best is an Akaso V50X, but that's over 2 years old now?
@TechMishka

Dave, very unfortunately action cameras are no longer as exciting as they used to be... Better try to bring your camera to a smartphone repair shop - they may be able to recover the USB port. Or - if you can somewhere buy spare batteries? The e& should use such that other models may use too.

@@TechMishka Batteries are a bit of a pain - they're a different size to almost all others (I think there's one Akaso that has the same size). I got a deal on Amazon, 25% off a Surfola SF530 so I've taken a punt on that - seems to be as good as my Apeman Trawo A100, and with a 1350MaH battery (it only came with 1050Mah ones, but ones from my A100 fit) I get 90 minutes in 4K with EIS enabled.

I will think about it. Might be interesting experience. I doubt they will be any better than the original ones.
Was excited to see a new camera emerging from Akaso, but given it's performance they shouldn't have bothered imo. IQ isn't great and EIS seems to be a couple of steps back from a camera like the Brave 6 Plus (and indeed the V50X). Btw: as Akaso always seems to struggle with sound, how was the sound on the Brave 4 Pro?

Try changing the video resolution. Most likely the setting is not available for certain modes.
Just got one to use mainly for kayaking and snorkeling. Haven't tested it in the real world yet, but from a quick look at home, the video looks decent at 1080/60. I have an old GoPro 4, but I wanted image stabilization, so decided to try the Brave 4. Still image quality looks OK, but when viewed at 100%, there is a lot of noise. For the price paid, it seems reasonable. It's a lot lighter than my GP 4, so that's a nice.

@@TechMishka I been looking to buy an Akaso for a really long time now. It's been very disheartening to hear year after year, model after model, that Akaso just can't seem to get it together. So I turn my thoughts to perhaps getting a GoPro, but only to hear they have overheating issues... It's like, man, can these companies not get it together??? It's hard to get in the action when the action camera manufacturers don't seem to be taking any action on getting their products up to par, especially GoPro. Spending almost $500 for a camera that overheats and shuts down is just a deal killer for me. I just need a camera that has great stabilization, great color and great sound and won't shut down on me. Need one for bicycle touring. ANY suggestions?

Thieye T5e to T5 Pro the colour difference was shocking. T5 Pro was washed out and just weird. Great touchscreen menu UI but that was about it. Still use an early "non microphone" T5/T5e as the colour is excellent. Did a test panning from into bright afternoon sun setting to a shaded yellow building frontage expecting a bad fail and it was amazing. Seems the more they try to upgrade the worse they get? Yes I still have an SJCAM SJ4000 early (non logo version) and it still works. 😆 🇦🇺

Oh please, I don’t even think the visuals are initially that bad, I just used it a little too much while swimming for my now scrapped Swimming Series, which makes the water run in the way of the lens even with the case on. Outside of that realm it’s remarkable for a starting “personal” camera as opposed to a KZreadrs’ camera I am contemplating on for the future. Contrary though, I hate that it’s possible its case prevented it from having good audio output, but maybe that was always a possibility. I don’t know what happened. Was it the case? Was it my choice of camera? Does the budget make it look like a mundane, profusely undesired product? I’m just starting to use it again, and it’s safe to say that while the visuals are passable, the auditory aspect is… not all there. 7/10 and that’s me being sincere.
