AKASO Brave 4 4K30fps 20MP WiFi Action Camera Ultra Hd with EIS 131ft Waterproof Camera Remote Control 5xZoom Underwater Camcorder with 2 Batteries and Bicycle Helmet Accessories Kit

Great Value! Great Quality
This is my second Akaso Camera. I love the Overall Quality and Picture quality. Great value! Comes with every mounting accessory you could think of including waterproof case and two batteries.

Works great, video quality is good
Brave 4 camera works great! Pictures with the waterproof case look a little washed out but I kond of expected it with the plastic housing covered the lens. Nice and small, easy to figure out the controls. I like that you can load and edit the pictures and video on the app when you connect your phone to the camera

My First Action Camera: An Awesome Surprise!
I had been holding off with purchasing an action camera until now, largely for two reasons: the picture quality / specs were comparable to those of my phone camera, and they were very expensive, even considering the idea of being water proof. Thanks to the alternative I found with this brand, I’ve discovered a great camera that really exceeds the specs of the GoPros that I’ve read. And, it lists just at the top end of what I am comfortable paying.To clarify, 20 MP is a dramatic improvement in detail over my 13 MP phone, or our 16 MP Kodak. The 4K video is likewise a vast improvement over our other cameras. It is worth noting that we do not own high end cameras in general, as they are well outside of our budget, so the depth available to us provides challenges when conditions aren’t perfect. So the differences in image quality are absolutely visible under the same conditions.Notably, the video quality settings I have tested so far are 4K and 1080P (which I believe is “HD”). There are a few other settings for quality, and the balance is really a trade-off between frame rate and image quality. At 4K, the frame rate maximum is 24fps. At 1080P the maximum is 60fps. The greater frame-rate can be useful in the case of converting existing regular speed footage to a slower playback rate. Also notable, I haven’t discovered a setting that is explicitly described as “slow motion”, so this effect may be exclusively relegated to the editor’s station.As this is my first action camera, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. It surprised me how very light weight and small the camera body really is. I was very apprehensive about testing its waterproof casing, but I did, and it definitely is.Additionally, I really appreciate the ability to use my phone as a remote viewfinder, and remote trigger.Okay, that’s the gushing praise for the product. The things that I encountered that seemed to be less “gush-worthy” are a few:First (and I accept this as typical of the form), there isn’t a “macro” setting. This means that this camera is really intended to capture a wide field of view in good detail. It doesn’t really have the ability to capture those intimately close-up images that a macro lens / setting would assist. The depth of field is broad, and it captures images sharply both near and relatively distant, but a macro setting would improve the performance up close.Additionally, the aspect of the images are square. I haven’t yet found a setting with which the aspect can be adjusted, and with modern monitors / televisions emphasizing ratios like 16:9 (not square in any case), the result is a video / photo with broad black stripes on either side when viewed on such a monitor.Moreover, the manual is fairly explicit in contrast with the other manuals for similar cameras I purchased very shortly after this one. But, the thing it really lacks are in-depth descriptions of the specs of the camera. Items like focal point measurements can be useful.It is also pretty common for the “time-lapse” setting to have its greatest interval be limited to 5 seconds. I would actually love to see longer intervals become available, up to as much as 24 hours. The idea being that it would be useful to monitor things like plant development at consistent times of day / lighting conditions. The size and versatility of this camera’s form would lend itself quite readily to such applications.So the summary is this:Pros-Good quality imagery for the priceSmall and lightweightWaterproof (with the included casing)InexpensiveManual is more explicit than other brands for similar productCons (or not-so-pro)Square aspect videoMissing camera specs in manualShort interval limitation for time-lapse setting.Overall, I’m very pleased with this camera.

Ótimo

Me sorprendió su calidad de imagen, e incluso de sonido bajo el agua.El kit es muy completo con todos los accesorios que incluye.La carcasa hermética, funciona a la perfección debajo del agua.Obviamente existen mejores modelos, incluso de la misma marca, pero si te vas a iniciar en videos acuáticos, empieza por algo normal como es esta cámara, y ya iras subiendo cuando lo tengas dominado.

I wanted a little waterproof video camera to record video and take photos on my motorbike. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, but wanted semi-decent video and images. So far this little beauty has exceeded my expectations. I’m a bit of a geek by nature and film a lot of videos (underwater), so I have a fair idea of what is good and what is not…I’ve had the camera for a few days now and my initial impressions are:- Quality seems excellent. I really only need to shoot in 1080p (4K is really too large for most purposes) and having 60fps is desirable, the right boxes are ticked already.- Video stabilization is essential on the motorbike, and this little camera does an excellent job with the footage.- The remote control is very useful and functional. I’ve attached it to the handle-bars, so I can easily stop and start recording video…PLUS, if you are recording video, you can hit the photo button on the remote and it takes a 20MP photo without interrupting the video. This is so useful for taking quick pictures of lovely scenes and still get the video you want- The camera has loads of different functions, so easy to change resolution, go to Underwater Mode, take burst shots, loop your video and take time-lapse (see example video)- It comes with a large range of including mounting options and accessories. I’ve easily attached it to my motorbike, securely, without having to purchase anything additional- It comes with two batteries and a charger that charges both batteries at the same timeI honestly can’t believe how good value this is, highly recommended,
