I just bought a brave 7 LE and don't think from the reviews of other action cameras... ESPECIALLY GOPRO'S, that I'd EVER pay an extra $260 more for that camera!!! My $118.99 was well spent.

Really appreciate your presentation in this video. I've been using this camera for a couple of months, it's true that you have to be careful on the bright contrast setting, but surprisingly when the background is bright and colourful the images turn out to be very sharp, other than that the faces are dark. So set to normal is the best. Now I use 1080P60fps most of the time and it's great. Thanks again.

I'm starting a channel that's indoor and about an idiot animal I have (no, it's not my wife). So to pull it off I figured I would need multiple cameras strategically placed . It turned out my timing was perfect because I picked up three of these at Amazon for $111.00 ea., about the cost of one GoPro I believe.

Stop doing that when we left Detroit some fifteen years ago and the wife and I thought it was time for a "little one" in our home again. I researched (Google, YT videos and vets) Savannah cats for more than a year and decided to get one. I thought of starting a channel about him because after watching what seemed like every video out there on the breed, I never seen one with close to the personality this one has. I figured the hardest part about conveying that personality on video will be the editing because it wouldn't seem to difficult to place cameras and record what we see and our interactions with him. We wound up naming him, Shredder, so I thought a good name for the channel would be, Shredded. Thanks for your input and your open ear.

One thing that anyone using the remote control should keep in mind. If you have the screensaver enabled and it has been long enough for the screen to blank out, you have to press the remote once to cancel the screensaver and then a second time to perform a function. This quirk cost me some video footage on my last trip. I had the camera mounted on the passenger side, rear window of the Jeep where I could not see it. I had the screensaver set for 3 minutes. From the driver's seat I pressed the record button on the remote and since it had not been 3 minutes of inactivity the camera started recording. When I got to a boring section of the trail I pressed the remote button assuming the camera stopped recording but since it was over 3 minutes and the screen had gone blank all that happened is the screen woke up and the camera kept recording. Now the camera and my brain are completely out of sync. Less than 3 minutes from that point I reached another place I wanted to record so I press the remote again but this stopped the recording. I have since started turning off the screensaver when I know I am going to be using the remote or at least remember that if it has been long enough for the screen to blank out it is going to take 2 presses on the remote to start or stop recording. I guess this should not be a surprise since the record button on the camera acts the same way but I sure missed this operational quirk. Hopefully this helps someone else not miss some video they thought they were getting.

@HayesTech

3 жыл бұрын

You are very correct. If the screen goes out, touching the stop button in the remote just walked the screen up. You will have to hit the stop button again, after it wakes, to stop recording. The same holds true if the screen is off and you want to record. I noticed my GoPro Hero 7 Black is the same way. One way to stop this is to disable the screen from shutting off. But remember that this will have an effect in your battery usage. Thanks again for the comment, we all really appreciate the information.

@@HayesTech Interesting that your Hero 7 takes 2 pushes to start or stop recording once the screensaver has activated. Neither my Hero 6 or 7 does that. On either GoPro it takes only one press of the record button to turn on the screen and start or stop recording. They both turn the screen back on as soon as the record button is pressed but the Hero 6 starts or stops recording quicker than the Hero 7 does. There is a 1 or 2 second delay before the Hero 7 reacts. I get the same results with voice command. It does not matter if the screensaver is active or not they both start or stop recording when asked to do so. The Hero 6 is immediate and the Hero 7 thinks about it for a second and then acts. You have to love electronics! There is always something that you wonder why. As for the Akaso Brave 7, I have just learned to not use the screensaver because the battery life is so good anyway.

But I don't use the audio out of any of my cameras, including my Canon 90D, without plugging in a good quality mic. And even then, I normally use my Zoom h1n and Sony lapel mic for all of my outdoors audio. But for what these cameras cost, the video quality you get and their features are very good. You can use the Akaso for a vlogging camera and your video quality will be good. Other than my GoPro though, I still recommend the XTU X1 action camera, if you can afford to go the extra money.

Hi. Power frequency doesn't let you "record in 50Hz or 60Hz" and it doesn't have any influence on video quality. This is supposed to eliminate flicker when shooting indoors. You need to synchronize it with your power grid frequency (60Hz in the US, 50Hz in Europe).

I'd like to cut down on wind noise being recorded and will use a small piece of microphone foam and some double stick tape to attach it.

Thank you very much for the positive comment. As it goes for microphones and cutting out wind noise, just putting on a good, thick piece of foam around the mic itself works great. But the thing that really works best for wind noise is to use that fake hair. They sell it specifically for covering microphones. You might want to try that too. But don't use foam and the fur together as it will really muffle your audio recording. Bottom line is try different things and see what works best for your specific recording scenarios. I'll bet the fake fur/hair will work the best. Foam works best for getting rid of popping noises from saying words that start with "P" and "T"...

Hey I don’t understand how to keep the camera rolling on it’s own without it pausing the video and the screen going black. I just want it to keep rolling.

It should keep recording until you hit stop. It does create several shorter video clips though you can still connect them all together and you will not lose any time. I think they are like 5 or 10 minutes long. The screen shutting off doesn't stop it from recording either. Just touch the rear screen again and it will come back on. In settings you can change the screen saver settings, I usually set mine too not shut off.

How do i review my video from the camera on my laptop? Do i have to take the memory card out?

@HayesTech

You can review your video right on the camera itself, but the audio is very hard to hear and it is so small that it's hard to determine whether or not the video was of the quality that you want. So I always pull the SD card out and put it in my computer and watch it on the computer so I can see if it is what I wanted or not. I hope that makes sense. But yes I would pull the SD card and use your laptop or PC to review your video footage.

How do you pause video when recording

@HayesTech

11 ай бұрын

These type of action cameras don't have a pause. You just stop it and start it again. You will have to stitch it together in your video editing program.

What video settings have you found for the best looking quality? The default settings are too saturated in my opinion. The greens looked blown out. My favorite settings so far has been 4K 30fps, Video Quality - High, EV - 0, Distortion Calibration - ON, White Balance - White Fluorescent. The White Fluorescent is the key. The rest is preference. Somebody give this setup a try and let me know what you think.

It would be the same as watching a 4k video, on KZread, on your 1080p phone. You actually get better video quality when you record in 4k and then watch it in 1080p. Well, better than it would be if recorded in 1080p. When recording in 4k, you get way more video information than what you would get if it was recorded in 1080p.

It's also able to get wet (but not submerged according to Akaso) without being in the waterproof case. I hope that helped a little.
