AKASOBrave 7 LE Action Camera, 40M Waterproof Underwater Camera EIS 2.0 Native 4K 20MP Touch Screen WiFi Sports Camera Remote Control Vlog Camera

Got this for my nephew as a gift. He loves making videos and wanted to put it on his bike.The video quality is actually really good especially for the price. i've had and still have gopros and this has better quality than my earlier versions by a long shot. the user interface is good on it. The one downside is he struggles to push the buttons which i must admit are a little stiff. So far he's not broken it and we know with kids they arent exactly gentle creatures. so yeah really impressed.

Camera feels well made and solid.rear touch screen is easy to use to navigate through the settings menus. My fat fingers did occasionally change settings between shot while holding (more user error, but be careful when holding and check the settings read out on screen)Dual screens is a bonus. Only the rear camera is a touch screen.Battery life so far has been about hour per battery. The rear screen turns itself off after a couple of minutes when recording and the camera can be set to power off automatically when not in use.That the camera comes with 2 batteries & a charger that will take both batteries at once is a great addition. Additionally, a power cable can be connected while in use, with a driving setting and loop recording mode means it could be used as a dash camera. (Driving mode the camera will automatically switch on and start recording when it gets power, loop mode means it will automatically split videos into 1/3/5min segments and overwrite the oldest video file on the card when the card is full.)Camera comes with a wide variety of mounts, couple of straps & waterproof case. Though it doesn't come with a hand grip or tripod.Have put in a 128Gb SD card which will hold around 5 1/2hrs at full 4K @ 30fps or around 12hrs at 1080 @ 30fpsUsage wise - the picture is very good. Image stabilisation is a must. Have found while the wind reduction helps a little, the microphone still suffers from picking up a lot of wind noise, and as the camera is not compatible with an external mic, alternative methods need to be found - either fitting a foam cover over the camera, or using a separate sound recorder.The included remote on a watch strap means you can start/stop videos and take pictures without touching the camera. In addition there is an app from which you can remotely control the camera and change settings.

Update after more than a year of useThe camera may be old but, after a year of use, I decided to update the review because I actually grew very fond of it.The camera offers an amazing value for money and a rich set of features. The other positive reviews cover the gist. It is very reliable and well made. I never had any issue with it and it survived a couple of hard falls at speed on tarmac. During daylight, the video is clear even at the low resolutions and the colours bright and pleasant. Lots of settings to play with and get the desired results whether it's video, photos or slow mo etc.The killer feature for me were the two batteries and the dual charger. That would give me more than two full hours of solid video recording, which matters to me.It also comes with an extensive set of mounts and adapters covering very different uses. It's also easy to attache it on some gopro mounts which was useful for me as I had a set of 3d printed custom mounts and the transition was seamless.For the record, I had two complains: One was solved after a bit of experimentation and it was that I would often stop the camera unknowingly by touching the screen. I figured out that when you have lock enabled AND start the recording with the button instead works perfectly as it will only stop the recording by pressing the button. The second was that it would lose the date/time when left without batteries an issue. This may be solved by their support, in which case I will update.Finally, the communications I had with the company regarding had been top quality indicative of a top notch support.
