really good video pal watched the whole thing probsbly the best most well thought out analysis survey of this camera ive seen yet u really helped me out here
Another brilliant product review Bobby Gene! I couldn’t believe the price and tossed one in my Amazon cart for the hubs! As always you’re Da Bomb Diggity! Stay cool! 😎
I’m retired from the prison system in Ohio and I’m going to travel with my wife. I was injured on the job by getting into an altercation with an inmate and was forced into retirement. I’m not complaining I loved my job but now I need to move forward in my life. That camera was so nice and would be great for our journeys. Thanks for showing it to us. Love your videos. James. P.S I told you my story not to get anything but just to introduce myself and hopefully because friends.
I really appreciate that James thank you, it's good to have some background to add personality to the name. My memory is not what it used to be, but I try to remember most everyone. I'm retired with Orlando PD, good timing by looks of todays America. Thank you for you service and welcome to the fam!
I've decided to give away two of these. Link in the description! Super low price for this and all that's included, it's hard for me to give this away!!!
Man if I win one of these, I will film some mountain biking, inline skating, more stuff to actually see how good it performs while bouncing around lol, all in all, seems like a good camera for the price
Good luck to all!! The beach looks much more impressive with this cam. I would prefer a mic port. It's the only thing missing on this cam. I have a ThiEye T5e, which this little cam reminds me of. I usually buy bundle deals that include extra batteries. Downside to my little cam is, it will only shoot at 720p if you want to get out of wide mode, which is a bit strange. It took a trip to PA to figure that one out. I've been extending my gear for my Lumix camera, next a 7" monitor for that. Then done. Ha! I keep saying done, then I find more gadgets! Like the new camera bag...outgrew the last 2. Anyhow, I hope someone very deserving wins!! The dogs goggles- priceless!!
So true, a great camera comes along and checks all the boxes but they didn't put in an audio jack. Another camera comes along and it has an audio jack but doesn't have a touchscreen or built in ND filter. We're always chasing that ONE camera that nails it. Like to Canon G7X Mk II I showed. My favorite camera! But it doesn't have a audio input, ugh! So if outside I would usually use a lav mic and record onto a voice recorder and sync it in post. I don't think we will ever be completely done lol! Cheers!
I just bought mine from Amazon for $112 + tx. Delivery is today. I want to do a side-by-side comparison of this and a V50 Elite that I bought a couple of weeks ago.
That camera looks amazing. That would be an Awesome thing to have to record our van conversion and the trips we take in the van once it is converted. That could also capture our new First Grandson grow up. Thanks for all your videos. Peace and Blessings.
I've been a subscriber since the nearly the beginning. You're one of the reason's I became a creator. The camera looks amazing. I'd love to use this camera to attach to my Piper Cherokee to show people to how cool flying is to encourage more people to learn to fly.
Thank you so much for the info. We have a really old go pro, but this looks amazing, We always learn so much from you. Thank you! We are setting off for our full time RV adventure on August 15th after planning it for over 5 years. We really need this camera to Vlog our journey.
Im very sorry about your wife. I am very sure you have a lot of memories of her and that she was wonderful on the inside and outside.. I am excited for the giveaway and good luck whoever wins..
This looks like a great addition to my camera equipment. I've been using a SLR but I've been looking for an action camera. I'll be using it to film our travels in our new to us rv. We always enjoy your videos. Been following you for a couple of years.
Thank you for an excellent report. One thing I'd like them to add....a green light on the wrist remote control to see if it's recording or not....for forgetful people like me! Very sorry to hear about your wife! My wife, cancer too, but she recovered.
This is the best review, because here you are teaching how to actually use it 😄😄 other UA-camr maybe just show quality but here first time I saw a UA-camr teaching us about camera,... And I am actually waiting for new akaso brave 7 because there we can use external mic , I wish I get that soon so this handicapped guy can start vlogging like my all others
@@GenesTherapy yeah , right sir, can you tell me , before we upload Video how can we make thier size small with same video quality , bcz here in India, I'm using plan 1gb per day, I don't have pc, just mobile to make n edit Video. So any app that can make video size small , on play store there are many apps but Video quality goes bad whenever I use them
@@skdhiman8401 DD, try mobile app 'Powerdirector' I believe they have a setting where you can upload at resolution best for web or mobile users. Also check 'Filmora'. I don't do much on mobile so I am not sure. Good luck!
I’ve been looking for one to learn how to video. I’m hope to be going full time later this year after down sizing and selling the house. Wife and I just purchased an RV in February but have not been able to use it because of vivid. Enjoyed your past videos in your RV. Thank you and stay safe!
Hiya Ed! Congrats on your future plans. Yes Covid has us all out of whack. You will love the decision to downsize and hit the road, I miss it big time! Safe travels!
Hey BG, I am in the army reserve and just returned home from deployment to my family after about a year away. We have a new baby boy and another baby on the way. I am in the medical field and I am currently back on the front lines in our local hospital in the battle against the pandemic. I would enjoy having this camera to record my family adventures and experiences as we get through these difficult times. Love your videos!!
First of all welcome home. Thank you for your service, military and on the front lines in the hospital. You've got a lot going on! Thank you for your comment!
Email me your mailing address please. My email is in the desctription below the video, and can be found on my home channel page under the ABOUT tab. Thank you!
Hi, Great video. For about the same price, I can buy a lightly used GoPro 5 Black with one battery and case, or buy a new Akaso Brave 7 LE with everything it comes with. Which would you buy?
I’m not a photographer but wondering, was your color correction done on the camera itself or in post production. I would appreciate an in depth look at the settings such as the ISO, White balance and it’s effect on the video. I know GoPro has protune and you can get even better colors, white balance through the camera before post production. Anyways I do realize it’s a budget camera and am probably reaching a bit. Good video and you’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
Hi Gordon, welcome to the fam. Color correction done on this little guy is all in post, as is with any camera I shoot with. I never use the preset modes that come with most cameras, I shoot in manual. But with action cameras time is of essence so most settings are done and let's go shoot. Auto W/B, ISO. I just choose the resolution and frame rate to get the effects I want. I have protune on my GoPro and never use it. It's not that you can get more colors with it, it's that you have more control over the colors you have, pushing them this way more or that. More work than I need for acceptable videos for the purpose I serve. Now if I were shooting pro stuff for a pro studio, tv commercials, etc. then it would be a different story. There are a few other reviewers out there that have done vids covering the three, Brave 7-GoPro 8- and DJI. Considering the Brave 7 would be looked at as the 'new guy' or little dog on the porch....it gives the others a serious run for their money. Making gopro drop it's price a hundred bucks when Brave was released, the Brave sports a 20 MP photo that is clearly better than the Gopro 8 12 MP, the only place that GoPro ranked a bit higher was in IS (image stabilization). I love competition! Keeps everybody on their feet eh? Anyway, tons of value here for this camera and bundle, enough that I've decided to not pay extra for the GoPro. Cheers, be seeing you around!
Looks like everything I need except for the tripod. I just retired and bought my first RV, a class C and can't wait to get out there and see the world. I want to take my daughter and go to Alaska once Canada opens the borders and this camera would be well used.
Great little camera. I would like to have it because I'm just starting out with my traveling life and I would like a good camera to record the things I do just for my family and to keep a video diary. Thanks for the demo of the camera, it seems pretty simple even for a beginner. Happy trails.
I already bought one and was looking for a good video on how to use it and stumbled upon yours. Excellent job. Thank you very much.---///---update I just spent the last 30 minutes looking at other videos and yours is absolutely the best just wanted to let you know you have such good detail and it’s so thorough I really appreciate your work
Hey Draydur thank you for that, if would caught it earlier you might have won 1 of the 3 I gave away! Oh well, check back again I'll be doing plenty more giveaways in the future. Good luck with your cam, I hope it treats you well! Cheers!
What an awesome review Gene... Im a EK7000 user currently and looking to upgrade to another AKASO....RC race boats are my deal...and this would be an awesome addition...thanks for the review...yep..im now a sub and follower
Wow love those boats you race, that would be a ton of fun. Hey you should keep an eye out, there is a new Brave 7 about to come out with same improved features and with an external mic input! Stay tuned!
Brave 7 le is great in bright sunshine, I have seen other reviews in dim or cloudy days. The clarity and sharpness of image is not there. How do u feel about video of 7le in cloudy days. Great video and very nice editing.👌👌👍👍
I could soooo use this camera! I am getting into whitewater kayaking but budget is tight as I’m saving everything I can to send my daughter to college next year. Great review and looks like an awesome camera. Hope to get my hands on one at some point.
Hi Bobby Gene , great camera that would be great to have one , just got a new to me motorhome , really miss you on the road , loved seeing where you and Pippy explored , hope you think about it again . Thanks Jim
Hey Bobby Gene, does it come with a micro USB card? Was the colour correction done on your computer or on the camera? Does it do the image stabilization on 4K? Might get one for the Vic. Stay safe.
Mike hold off a bit if you can. They are coming out with a new Brave 7 (maybe in Jan) with those features improved AND and audio out port! You will need audio out for the bike ops. Lemme know
Having a small action camera would make it much more simple for me to record my daughter and grand daughter’s outdoors activities, archery, target shooting, fishing. A Canon Rebel t2 is all i have been using. A bit clunky. Thanks for the great video.
Great video....I plan on using this for hunting....Is there a way to make it so the front screen is completely off and only the back screen is illuminated? (so the light of the front screen can not be seen by what ever you are filming)
Hi Bobby. Hope you are doing well. Stay healthy, safe and happy. Thank you for sharing the video on the camera. That was very informative. I could use one to shoot nature, different things that are worth shooting. I only have a cell phone to shoot videos and take pictures with. Thumb up...
I’m waiting on my HIMIWAY Step-thru to arrive. Super excited! I would love to use it while riding my new eBike down the country roads in Ohio this summer and fall.
Just got my Bobby Gene's Therapy with another terrific product review. Really a killer price with accessories included, i would personally use the Action camera for all sports video recording functionality. Mounted on a hat, I could really see it used as a critical incident camcorder, capturing precious evidentiary footage in a home defense or other personal protection scenario. Such footage documenting appropriate use of force can potentially save a prison term and or tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Weapon mounted cams cost many $$hundreds more, and I trust the AKASO with its very modest cost, image stabilization, and features might do a bang up job. Another wonderful review. Hope you're doing great Bobby Gene, and smiling Supernova Style. Stay safe brother! phil
@@GenesTherapy Hey Bobby Gene I mentioned trying a Hat Mount possibly first since it would obviate the G forces inherent in weapon mounting especially for heavier recoiling firearms like slug & buckshot loaded 12 gauge shotguns. Engineered specific weapon cams/tac lights are, of course, purpose designed for recoil/g force attenuation with shock isolation to mitigate damage. They are quite expensive, but worth every penny as they can save a prison term, catastrophic legal fees along with the possible liquidation of home and all assets to pay for attorneys, in the aftermath of a critical defensive shooting incident that has gone wrong in the courts for whatever reason. Legendary Police/Civilian Firearms & Tactics trainer Massad f.Ayoob(latest book DEADLY FORCE) has promulgated this worldwide. Same for Dashcams which AKASO also manufactures and you have reviewed. The price and features for the AKASO Action Cam is just so reasonable. Stay safe brother, phil
Email me your mailing address please. My email is in the desctription below the video, and can be found on my home channel page under the ABOUT tab. Thank you!
Hi Gene, glad to see you’re doing so well. Loved your review. We were going to buy one to complement our go pro but then you said you were giving some away. Am I too late? We want to make videos of our travels after we can travel again. Meanwhile, we’re getting ebikes and plan to video our experiences with those. We may also video some boating in the Puget sound here in Seattle.
Wow I can't to see some results of your videos! Yes you are a bit too late, check the videos on my channel page and you'll see the announcement of the three winners! Be sure to click that notification bell so you won't miss out next time! Cheers!
That camera would be perfect to video my grandson when we take him to lake Michigan for the first time (planed for Sept) I was looking for a GoPro to take there. By the way keep up the great videos I've been a follower for almost 3 years now. Stay safe and thank you for your service Bobby Gean...
Awesome looking little camera, this would be great for when I'm or hiking or for filming my nephew doing just about anything - the kid has no fear at all.
Hi there, thank you for the review. I work in the school sporting arena. In lockdown I had use my phone or a school Webcam. I will use the camera for shooting training sessions and games for video analysis and highlights for the players.
I am amazed at what you can get in a small camera like this. This looks perfect to put on husky during a walk to see what he sees during his walk. Love the wrist control part too. I see red lights on your desk that I guessing is maybe a video editing deck? If so what do you have how do you like it?
so I love this thing so far, I do plan on getting one eventually, I cant find any video of people actually beating this thing while mountain biking like more action, i wanna see how good it is under water also, If I win this, I will film some trail rides with my buddies, maybe some other kind of sports kayaking maybe
That sounds great. I would have loved to have taken it out on some bike trails but the video would have been that much longer, most people would probably click away. I did see a review where he plunged it into a few pools with Koi fish swimming around (without the case), he reported all went well, the color looked great as it does have a 'diving mode' on it to compensate for underwater color loss.
Wow, I'm sold! Great review as usual Bobby! What a difference between the GoPro and this in picture quality! I especially liked the way you showed the slow motion effect as you pulled away from the shore. Gotta love all the extra attachments that come standard! I've been looking into getting a few GoPros for use when I start full timing, but also to use and start using now on my motorcycle to practice filming from the bike and editing. I was thinking to have perhaps even 3 cameras on the motorcycle.....1 pointing at me, 1 on the helmet or handle bars for a forward pic, and one on the lower crash bar for a shot from he road with part of the front wheel showing. I'd also like to be able to narrate while I drive. Even if I don't win it, for the price, to get 3 won't break the bank!
Hey Jud! It's hard to see but in the shot of me riding on The Dragon, I had a mic clipped under my helmet that worked out pretty good but would have been much better with a full face. Also, if you have one of the cameras on a bendy monster clap kind of thing, you can periodically stop and detach the cam from a crash bar and move it to somewhere else on the bike, in the end you'll have an assortment of different shots to mash up, very cool. Be safe brother!
@@GenesTherapy Perhaps then only two cameras will be necessary, thx. Btw...made an offer on that Newmar 3103 a few weeks ago...went back and forth, but she didn't accept my final offer....and the search continues. Thx for your support!
Thank you for the video. I was unless surprised that you compare 2 different views at different time of the day at the beach with the Gopro). The luminosity is obviously not the same. It would be interesting to compare them at e actly the same moment and place...
Hey Bobby Gene!! Thank you for the great review! I would use this excellent little camera to start my UA-cam channel, and for just about any outdoor adventure. I love snorkeling with turtles, stingrays, and lots of different species of fish. Boating, sporting events, fireworks, and a ton of other photo ops!!! Did you try this camera in low-light or any night shots? It looks like an all-around camera for a ton of different uses (not to mention what a great value it is!!!)!!! Thanks again, and Aloha!!!!
Hi! It does pretty good in low light, I didn't do much there but it does also have night long exposure mode (tripod). Lots of turtles here where I live, lots of nests this morning on the beach. Yes you need to get some videos up on that channel of yours! Cheers!
Its nice...but i think the dji osmo action is the best value u get...i do have the akaso brave le...i use this for mountain biking and the eis isnt as good as i thought
Hi Bobby Gene we just bought a Motor Home and our selling our house to go full time. It would be great for making videos to share with friends and family of all the wonderful places we hope to see. We Go to the Daytona 500 ever year and it would be great to use it for that. I love nature so I would love to use it for manatee and Dolphins whales cool stuff like that, Eagles. Adventure is awaiting me and I would love to be able to save and share great memories. Thanks Bobby Gene 😊 Have a blessed day.
You transfer via wifi built into the cam, or you can remove the micro SD card and plug into computer etc. (faster). The phone app walks you through it. I would suggest waiting on the new Brave 7 available soon, extra features.
Great review been eyeing on this camera like I join every single giveaway of this haha I want them to finally kickstart youtube and make travel vlogs and supporting local by making content featuring local stuff hopefully I will be equipped with vlogging gears dream come true
I have been freediving with my dad for years. We have been using his own gopro to film underwater and in our adventures. He didn't let me use his own and i couldn't just buy one myself because he says i need to put my money to college. So i was dreaming if i would win this awesome camera to film videos and get into photography. And capture fishes of course. Stay safe everyone!
Hi Samu, I did another video (check my channel) of three of these I gave away, you have to comment sooner, that's a good comment and you could have won! I'll be giving more away in the future, stay tuned!
Hi Robert, I've seen a few comparisons with the Hero 8 out there, and they found stabilization was pretty much the only area the GoPro slightly out performed the Brave. The Brave really shined with it's 20 MP photos compared to DJI and Hero 12 MP. I noticed Hero 8 price dropped a hundred bucks when the Brave was released. With the comparisons that close with this little camera, I'm not going to buy gopro any more when there is something this good, with all that's included, for the price. The Brave doesn't have the protune and all that which I've never used on my Hero 5 anyway. I love competition! Anyway, take a look for those other reviews and let me know what you found out! Cheers!
@@GenesTherapy @Gene's Therapy Great information! does it mount into the go pro screw holes? I recently bought a US Divers go pro ready snorkel set. I also saw the GoPro Hero 8 for ~$220 on sale recently. Could you do a side-by side with your go pro and this while moving? I want to use it on my moto as well.
@@robertberin4872 I got the screw holes to match up on some attachements from the Gopro hero 5 black, but the case itself is a no go. Yes when this Brave 7 was released gopro dropped it's price a hundred bucks, don' think it's permanent however. The gopro has slightly better image stability as I saw on other reviews, but not better enough to justify the extra cost in my opinion. The Brave outperformed everyone in regard to photos, 20 MP to their 12 MP. Cheers!
When taking a photo with the remote control does the camera have to be manually setup in photo mode or does it matter if its in video or photo mode as long as i hit the photo button on the remote it will take a pic regardless of the setting on the camera itself.
Correct, touching the photo button on the camera fires the camera in the mode you have it set up for, burst/time exposure/self timer/ all the resolutions, etc. Here's the manual from their site. www.akasotech.com/usermanual/brave7le.pdf
I used a 64gig card Phil, I usually pick those up they seem to have a little better value when larger. Be sure to get a newer card, Scandisk V30 micro SD
I've been on a keto diet for 2 years and i would love this camera to blog my journey with as i have lost 100lbs and have not been able to share this with anyone. This camera would give me the tools that i need to make this happen and it would allow me to share my story with others. As always Bobby Gene you are an amazing videographer and i idle your skills in becoming a great blogger such as you !! Keep up the great work thanks for my entry i would truly appreciate this 📷 camera !!Robyn B.
@@Keith80027 hi actually reference keto connect youtube channel and highfalutin youtube channel and wholesume yum recipes and you can also google tons of keto recipes. I eat alot of bacon , eggs and sausage lol and i really am enjoying the keto lifestyle i hope you find what you are looking for in the diet and by the way i dont get sick either the diet builds your immune system and gives you lots of energy and i will never look back. I went from size 28 to size 3 its really amazing . Robyn B.:)
I would love to be considered for winning the camera, my kids want me to help them get things going for some UA-cam content. Seems like a great camera for the task! Keep up the good work, hope to see you out exploring the country in an RV again!
Andy you need to get you about three of these and mount at different points if they'll let you. It would be an awesome youtube channel dude! You would have a huge following. Give me a shout if you want some tips ;)
2:21 the doors on this cam are so difficult to open they need cutaway shots to keep the video short enough 😉 They sure don't make it easy with the slippery surfaces-
Lot's to do with this action cam... Going for adventures doing some sick slow Mo videos and underwater photography. *A DREAM COME TRUE IF I WIN THIS* 🤞🏻
You missed the giveaway Vide, check out the video where I announce the three winners on my home channel page. If you're a subscriber, hit that notification bell so you won't miss out on the next giveaway coming up soon! Cheers!
That's great Travis, hope to hear how it works out. Keep an eye on Image Stabilization setting when switching shooting modes. Photo image quality smokes every one else for sure as well.
@@GenesTherapy Heard that. I have been watching videos on budget cameras for about two weeks now. It came down to this one vs the V50 Pro SE. Both look like solid choices but I like this one because it is water resistant without a housing. I kayak fish so that will do wonders for the audio issues I experience when in housing units. Thanks for sharing.
@@TravisDoesKayakFishing Yes it seems to perform well there. Me personally, if I film anything deeper than say 10 feet or so I would definitely wrap it in the case, water proofing anything without the special coating such as my iphone has, the camera integrity is only as good as the seals. Hope to hear back!
Hope you pick a good home for this one. I will not enter the give away. 1e I live in Europe 2e there must be a couple or person. Or a starter UA-camer Who really need this. To make better content good luck and may god bless you for this great gift.
I would love to win one of the cameras you are giving away. I used my old Camera Digital and phone to start making a few UA-cam videos so that our Grandkids could keep up with our RV travels. We used my phone for our E-bike rides, but it fell out of the phone holder and broke in Colorado. This would allow us to film on our bikes again and get more creative and better quality video that we can get with our Old Digital Camera (and a much smaller camera too.)
Roger that Mike, I've had my phone hop out of the holder after hitting some big bumps and went skidding across the pavement, luckily no damage. I need to get a monster clamp holder for the gopro, but I like having my phone right there to monitor weather and have my tunes on earphones. I love grandson time! Cheers!
Great review and you know how to sell...Appears to be a Great camera and would love to have to record my travels after Covid-19. Have a 2003 29 foot Grey Hawk that is my happy place Therapy.....
Hi! I want this camera because I want to start my own vlog. It will be very useful for this purpose! Thank you for your giveaway! Good luck to everybody.
Hi Bobby Gene, First of all, I'd like to state a couple of strange coincidences. When I was about five years old my brother and two sisters and I had a babysitter named Bobbie Jean, except she was a female. I am also a caregiver - for the last 20+ years. I was a secondary caregiver to my mother (my father was the Primary) from 2000 until she passed in 2012. My mother had Parkinson's disease for a little over 20 years and dementia for a little over 10 years. It’s dementia that eventually kills you - it starts to shut-down other parts of your body. After my divorce in 2000, I moved in with my parents because I could see how Parkinson's was starting to affect my mother, she was in her sixth year of Parkinson's. I made a commitment to stay with both of my parents until they both passed on because I could not see putting either parent in any type of Nursing Home. And since I was the now divorced sibling it was easiest for me to make that commitment to give back to my parents what they had given to me throughout all these years. And my brother and 2 sisters were each married and had families with children, etc. My father who is now 84 years old has had a number of medical difficulties within the last year, also mentioning that he beat cancer and has been in full remission for 12 years. It took the medical establishment a little over a year to finally diagnose him with Myasthenia Gravis which is an autoimmune disease. And then almost one year ago he had a full-blown heart attack right in front of me and I got him to the hospital in time. They put a stent in immediately where he had 100% blockage and two weeks later they put in two more stents. They had to wait two weeks because when an individual is at that age it's less traumatizing on their body. Then they put him on blood thinners for and with the myasthenia gravis they put you on steroids and both of these things have numerous side effects, from bleeding all the time on the arms or legs to dizziness anytime you're moving or try to stand up, etc. So it's been pretty complicated, but fortunately, a month ago they finally took him off the blood thinners and that has helped him to feel better, except that he still has some dizziness, unless he's sitting down or driving or something like that. I've been trying to get my father to purchase an e-bike for the last 4 years. He kept putting it off because at that time before he had these major health concerns he was able to do his 10,000 steps a day and always monitor his Fitbit, he and his friend were always in a friendly competition. So he was always on the move and he just felt like he wasn't ready for any kind of bicycle, because he enjoyed walking so much. But now he cannot walk as easily, and he uses a cane to help give him support from dizziness, or when he feels a little out of breath because the doctor’s don’t tell you how much (percentage-wise) of his heart has died off. Within this past week, he told me that he was now interested in getting an e-bike and once I showed him your review on the Himiway e-bike he said that's the one for him, and the pricing is perfect. Their model ‘The All-Terrain Step Through' is perfect for him, because he can't raise his legs too high, so with this bike, you can step your leg right through and get on the pedal and start riding. I also shared your review with my sister and her husband and they also fell in love with the Himiway. So right now it looks like all three of them will be getting the Himiway, except myself. I'm a very experienced rider and therefore I have chosen the Juiced Cross-Current X, by Juiced Bikes as the e-Bike I will be also getting. I do not currently own an e-bike. I have a crossover bike that I put together myself and lost 175 pounds in one year by riding 30-40 miles daily (except in heavier rains, etc.). I have ridden almost 40,000 miles since my weight loss adventures began! I live with my father, six months in Illinois, and six months in Florida as a snowbird. And I am doing this full-time for the last 17 years. I was working full-time for an employer until 2007 which made it difficult being a caregiver because I had to coordinate my time with my father so that he knew when he could go and do the things outside of the home that he needed to do, but we made it work. I appreciate this video camera give-away that you are doing and I'm sure anybody would be very happy to receive it. What I would like to be able to do with it is to capture these last year or two or three of memories with my father while he's on his e-Bike in Illinois and in Florida, and also capture the different memories in different areas that we will be in. We have some trails that are off of the road and would be very nice to ride on; one is called a Legacy Trail, which, when including the Venitian Waterway has about 17 miles one-way and from Venice Florida they are currently extending the trail so that goes all the way to the Ringling Bridge which is right there in downtown Sarasota. In Illinois, we have the new Cal-Sag Trail which is 26 miles (52 miles, round-trip). My sister and her husband are recently retired (31 days for my brother-in-law) and with their e-bikes and my father’s and my e-bike, we will travel to a few places in groups. My father's condition has him losing energy but we'll just take our time and ride and enjoy the sights and the scenery. Because along the Florida trails there are beautiful areas to investigate and areas along the road and the Gulf of Mexico where you can eat right on/by the water. So I would love to just document and capture those memories. With my mother, it was more difficult to capture anything because she had dementia and for the last five or six years she didn't know any of us. She just knew that there were nice people taking care of her, so it was very difficult to capture anything like that as a memory and it was a full-time job with her Parkinson's and dementia, along with all the meds that she was on and the pain that she was in. I was also working full-time. So now that I'm self-employed through the internet I have that freedom to be there for my father as he needs me. And, because he does not have dementia he's able to at least enjoy the sights and sounds and do some minimal bike activity on the bike and that's why we're getting the e-bike, so it'll make it easier for him to move around and enjoy everything around him. I would be very grateful to receive this action video camera. I'm sure whomever you choose will be grateful. I thank you for the opportunity and I appreciate your channel Bobby Gene, You have a very mild and laid-back and caring approach and I appreciate that in your channel. I've always enjoyed watching your vids. I watched all of your RV videos and loved your interaction with Pippi. And now that you've crossed over I've been watching your recent videos... thanks again and have a great week.
Thank you for your kind comment. Please be sure everyone is carefully schooled on riding the ebike. It's a tall bike, and while making a slow turn around (180) with pedal assist turned on, it will jerk you forward if you are not expecting it. So it's best to perhaps start off only using the throttle just a bit to get going before peddling, and don't pedal when turning back around, just slightly use a little throttle to come around. Other than that, it's a blast. Have fun and be safe!

Hi Bobby! We are small channel. We are starting our 3rd season and would love to improve our video quality. Help us start the season in style! We are in South Florida. Lou & Angie
really good video pal
watched the whole thing probsbly the best most well thought out analysis survey of this camera ive seen yet
u really helped me out here
First video I have seen where someone actually shows ALL the features and how to use them. Nice work fella, I have subscribed.
Another brilliant product review Bobby Gene! I couldn’t believe the price and tossed one in my Amazon cart for the hubs! As always you’re Da Bomb Diggity! Stay cool! 😎
Hiya Gwen! Great happy for the hubs, he'll have fun with it!
I’m retired from the prison system in Ohio and I’m going to travel with my wife. I was injured on the job by getting into an altercation with an inmate and was forced into retirement. I’m not complaining I loved my job but now I need to move forward in my life. That camera was so nice and would be great for our journeys. Thanks for showing it to us. Love your videos. James. P.S I told you my story not to get anything but just to introduce myself and hopefully because friends.
I really appreciate that James thank you, it's good to have some background to add personality to the name. My memory is not what it used to be, but I try to remember most everyone. I'm retired with Orlando PD, good timing by looks of todays America. Thank you for you service and welcome to the fam!
I've decided to give away two of these. Link in the description! Super low price for this and all that's included, it's hard for me to give this away!!!
No description, no linkie.
@@nancykay6318 In the description section below the video Nancy. :) amzn.to/30Qom4S
Thats great but I can't win this but no worries someone else and better get this
Man if I win one of these, I will film some mountain biking, inline skating, more stuff to actually see how good it performs while bouncing around lol, all in all, seems like a good camera for the price
Make that three
Good luck to all!! The beach looks much more impressive with this cam.
I would prefer a mic port. It's the only thing missing on this cam.
I have a ThiEye T5e, which this little cam reminds me of. I usually buy bundle deals that include extra batteries. Downside to my little cam is, it will only shoot at 720p if you want to get out of wide mode, which is a bit strange. It took a trip to PA to figure that one out.
I've been extending my gear for my Lumix camera, next a 7" monitor for that. Then done. Ha! I keep saying done, then I find more gadgets! Like the new camera bag...outgrew the last 2.
Anyhow, I hope someone very deserving wins!! The dogs goggles- priceless!!
So true, a great camera comes along and checks all the boxes but they didn't put in an audio jack. Another camera comes along and it has an audio jack but doesn't have a touchscreen or built in ND filter. We're always chasing that ONE camera that nails it. Like to Canon G7X Mk II I showed. My favorite camera! But it doesn't have a audio input, ugh! So if outside I would usually use a lav mic and record onto a voice recorder and sync it in post. I don't think we will ever be completely done lol! Cheers!
I just bought mine from Amazon for $112 + tx. Delivery is today. I want to do a side-by-side comparison of this and a V50 Elite that I bought a couple of weeks ago.
I'll get an action camera anyway - big time kayaker, hiker and sports watcher. Great videos! The Brave 7 LE looks like an amazing deal.
That camera looks amazing. That would be an Awesome thing to have to record our van conversion and the trips we take in the van once it is converted. That could also capture our new First Grandson grow up. Thanks for all your videos. Peace and Blessings.
Wow Dan that sounds pretty exciting building your conversion. I love grandson time!
I've been a subscriber since the nearly the beginning. You're one of the reason's I became a creator. The camera looks amazing. I'd love to use this camera to attach to my Piper Cherokee to show people to how cool flying is to encourage more people to learn to fly.
I like your thumbnails David, cool
@@GenesTherapy Thanks!
Hey Gene, great video and truly informative. So that said, what do you use for your video editing/editor?
I use the Adobe premiere Pro.
This was the best presentation of a product online. In-depth and to the point. Thanks
Back at ya Kevin, thanks. New Brave 7 version coming soon
Leaving in the fall for a 2 year trip around the US, for my own therapy. You've sold me on both. Thank you.
Aw :) Excited for you!
Thank you so much for the info. We have a really old go pro, but this looks amazing, We always learn so much from you. Thank you! We are setting off for our full time RV adventure on August 15th after planning it for over 5 years. We really need this camera to Vlog our journey.
Wow congrats on the big adventure Brent, 5 years of planning it's going to be awesome I'm sure! Safe travels!
Im very sorry about your wife. I am very sure you have a lot of memories of her and that she was wonderful on the inside and outside.. I am excited for the giveaway and good luck whoever wins..
Thank you Jazzie, very kind of you to say.
This looks like a great addition to my camera equipment. I've been using a SLR but I've been looking for an action camera. I'll be using it to film our travels in our new to us rv. We always enjoy your videos. Been following you for a couple of years.
Hi John, always love to see a core viewer comment, thank you!
Thank you for an excellent report. One thing I'd like them to add....a green light on the wrist remote control to see if it's recording or not....for forgetful people like me!
Very sorry to hear about your wife! My wife, cancer too, but she recovered.
Thanks back to you Bill! Thankful your wife pulled through! Cheers!
This is the best review, because here you are teaching how to actually use it 😄😄 other UA-camr maybe just show quality but here first time I saw a UA-camr teaching us about camera,... And I am actually waiting for new akaso brave 7 because there we can use external mic , I wish I get that soon so this handicapped guy can start vlogging like my all others
That's what I try to do DD is how exactly how to use it, yes looking forward to the brave 7!
@@GenesTherapy yeah , right sir, can you tell me , before we upload Video how can we make thier size small with same video quality , bcz here in India, I'm using plan 1gb per day, I don't have pc, just mobile to make n edit Video. So any app that can make video size small , on play store there are many apps but Video quality goes bad whenever I use them
Or have to use office wifi for large Video :)
@@skdhiman8401 DD, try mobile app 'Powerdirector' I believe they have a setting where you can upload at resolution best for web or mobile users. Also check 'Filmora'. I don't do much on mobile so I am not sure. Good luck!

Idol paano mag adjust Ng brave 7 le pang night diving para malinaw Ang video pa comment naman
Lahat talaga ng action cam pag gabi yan ang sakit. Mamahalin lang tqlaga ang mga kahit gabi kaya ng cam
I’ve been looking for one to learn how to video. I’m hope to be going full time later this year after down sizing and selling the house. Wife and I just purchased an RV in February but have not been able to use it because of vivid. Enjoyed your past videos in your RV. Thank you and stay safe!
Hiya Ed! Congrats on your future plans. Yes Covid has us all out of whack. You will love the decision to downsize and hit the road, I miss it big time! Safe travels!
Hey BG, I am in the army reserve and just returned home from deployment to my family after about a year away. We have a new baby boy and another baby on the way. I am in the medical field and I am currently back on the front lines in our local hospital in the battle against the pandemic. I would enjoy having this camera to record my family adventures and experiences as we get through these difficult times. Love your videos!!
First of all welcome home. Thank you for your service, military and on the front lines in the hospital. You've got a lot going on! Thank you for your comment!

Hi,
Great video. For about the same price, I can buy a lightly used GoPro 5 Black with one battery and case, or buy a new Akaso Brave 7 LE with everything it comes with. Which would you buy?
GoPro :)
I’m not a photographer but wondering, was your color correction done on the camera itself or in post production. I would appreciate an in depth look at the settings such as the ISO, White balance and it’s effect on the video. I know GoPro has protune and you can get even better colors, white balance through the camera before post production. Anyways I do realize it’s a budget camera and am probably reaching a bit. Good video and you’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
Hi Gordon, welcome to the fam. Color correction done on this little guy is all in post, as is with any camera I shoot with. I never use the preset modes that come with most cameras, I shoot in manual. But with action cameras time is of essence so most settings are done and let's go shoot. Auto W/B, ISO. I just choose the resolution and frame rate to get the effects I want. I have protune on my GoPro and never use it. It's not that you can get more colors with it, it's that you have more control over the colors you have, pushing them this way more or that. More work than I need for acceptable videos for the purpose I serve. Now if I were shooting pro stuff for a pro studio, tv commercials, etc. then it would be a different story. There are a few other reviewers out there that have done vids covering the three, Brave 7-GoPro 8- and DJI. Considering the Brave 7 would be looked at as the 'new guy' or little dog on the porch....it gives the others a serious run for their money. Making gopro drop it's price a hundred bucks when Brave was released, the Brave sports a 20 MP photo that is clearly better than the Gopro 8 12 MP, the only place that GoPro ranked a bit higher was in IS (image stabilization). I love competition! Keeps everybody on their feet eh? Anyway, tons of value here for this camera and bundle, enough that I've decided to not pay extra for the GoPro. Cheers, be seeing you around!
Another great review! This unit would be a great way to catch al the action videos of our granddaughters. Thank you!
Hi Phil! I love my grandson time! Cheers!
Looks like everything I need except for the tripod. I just retired and bought my first RV, a class C and can't wait to get out there and see the world. I want to take my daughter and go to Alaska once Canada opens the borders and this camera would be well used.
Congrats on your retirement Carol! Your Alaska trip sounds exciting, so jelly!
@@TrippinTraci Happy and safe travels Traci, your mom sounds like a hoot! I was close to my mom like that. Cheers!
Great little camera. I would like to have it because I'm just starting out with my traveling life and I would like a good camera to record the things I do just for my family and to keep a video diary. Thanks for the demo of the camera, it seems pretty simple even for a beginner. Happy trails.
Sounds good Linda! Yes it's super simple!
I already bought one and was looking for a good video on how to use it and stumbled upon yours. Excellent job. Thank you very much.---///---update I just spent the last 30 minutes looking at other videos and yours is absolutely the best just wanted to let you know you have such good detail and it’s so thorough I really appreciate your work
Hey Draydur thank you for that, if would caught it earlier you might have won 1 of the 3 I gave away! Oh well, check back again I'll be doing plenty more giveaways in the future. Good luck with your cam, I hope it treats you well! Cheers!
What an awesome review Gene...
Im a EK7000 user currently and looking to upgrade to another AKASO....RC race boats are my deal...and this would be an awesome addition...thanks for the review...yep..im now a sub and follower
Wow love those boats you race, that would be a ton of fun. Hey you should keep an eye out, there is a new Brave 7 about to come out with same improved features and with an external mic input! Stay tuned!
@@GenesTherapy I have been watching that and called Akaso....i will keep looking
wow what a great camera...this would be great as my wife and I are kicking off our retirement journeys...small and simple
Congratulations Richard and wife! Safe travels to you!
Brave 7 le is great in bright sunshine, I have seen other reviews in dim or cloudy days. The clarity and sharpness of image is not there. How do u feel about video of 7le in cloudy days. Great video and very nice editing.👌👌👍👍
Thank you, unfortunately I didn't get the chance to test cloudy days before I gave it away to a viewer. Cheers!
Great video presentation on how to use the camera. So easy! 👏👏👏😊🎊
I could soooo use this camera! I am getting into whitewater kayaking but budget is tight as I’m saving everything I can to send my daughter to college next year. Great review and looks like an awesome camera. Hope to get my hands on one at some point.
Be sure to hit my link in the comments below the video, $118. I'll be announcing 3 winners at 7pm this evening Eastern
Hi Bobby Gene , great camera that would be great to have one , just got a new to me motorhome , really miss you on the road , loved seeing where you and Pippy explored , hope you think about it again . Thanks Jim
Hiya Jim! Congrats on the motorhome! I hope to see you sharing some nice vids of your travels.
Hey Bobby Gene, does it come with a micro USB card? Was the colour correction done on your computer or on the camera? Does it do the image stabilization on 4K? Might get one for the Vic. Stay safe.
Mike hold off a bit if you can. They are coming out with a new Brave 7 (maybe in Jan) with those features improved AND and audio out port! You will need audio out for the bike ops. Lemme know
@@GenesTherapy thanks. I will probably wait and put it on my Father's Day list ;)
@@mikemills5144 Roger that Mike, good idea
Having a small action camera would make it much more simple for me to record my daughter and grand daughter’s outdoors activities, archery, target shooting, fishing. A Canon Rebel t2 is all i have been using. A bit clunky. Thanks for the great video.
Wow! Some talented grand kids there!
Great video....I plan on using this for hunting....Is there a way to make it so the front screen is completely off and only the back screen is illuminated? (so the light
of the front screen can not be seen by what ever you are filming)
If I recall there is not with this model, unless they've changed it now in newer models.
Hi Bobby. Hope you are doing well. Stay healthy, safe and happy. Thank you for sharing the video on the camera. That was very informative. I could use one to shoot nature, different things that are worth shooting. I only have a cell phone to shoot videos and take pictures with. Thumb up...
Roger that thanks Mike!
What size SD micro card did you use? I don’t remember your saying so getting 9999 photos is of no use without knowing. Tks
I’m waiting on my HIMIWAY Step-thru to arrive. Super excited! I would love to use it while riding my new eBike down the country roads in Ohio this summer and fall.
Congrats on your Himiway Audrey, I'm going to get back on mine after responding to these comments. Be safe!
Just got my Bobby Gene's Therapy with another terrific product review. Really a killer price with accessories included, i would personally use the Action camera for all sports video recording functionality. Mounted on a hat, I could really see it used as a critical incident camcorder, capturing precious evidentiary footage in a home defense or other personal protection scenario. Such footage documenting appropriate use of force can potentially save a prison term and or tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Weapon mounted cams cost many $$hundreds more, and I trust the AKASO with its very modest cost, image stabilization, and features might do a bang up job. Another wonderful review. Hope you're doing great Bobby Gene, and smiling Supernova Style. Stay safe brother! phil
Roger that Phil, very interesting usage there you mentioned, and very honorable indeed. ;)
@@GenesTherapy Hey Bobby Gene I mentioned trying a Hat Mount possibly first since it would obviate the G forces inherent in weapon mounting especially for heavier recoiling firearms like slug & buckshot loaded 12 gauge shotguns. Engineered specific weapon cams/tac lights are, of course, purpose designed for recoil/g force attenuation with shock isolation to mitigate damage. They are quite expensive, but worth every penny as they can save a prison term, catastrophic legal fees along with the possible liquidation of home and all assets to pay for attorneys, in the aftermath of a critical defensive shooting incident that has gone wrong in the courts for whatever reason. Legendary Police/Civilian Firearms & Tactics trainer Massad f.Ayoob(latest book DEADLY FORCE) has promulgated this worldwide. Same for Dashcams which AKASO also manufactures and you have reviewed. The price and features for the AKASO Action Cam is just so reasonable. Stay safe brother, phil

Hi Gene, glad to see you’re doing so well. Loved your review. We were going to buy one to complement our go pro but then you said you were giving some away. Am I too late? We want to make videos of our travels after we can travel again. Meanwhile, we’re getting ebikes and plan to video our experiences with those. We may also video some boating in the Puget sound here in Seattle.
Wow I can't to see some results of your videos! Yes you are a bit too late, check the videos on my channel page and you'll see the announcement of the three winners! Be sure to click that notification bell so you won't miss out next time! Cheers!
That camera would be perfect to video my grandson when we take him to lake Michigan for the first time (planed for Sept) I was looking for a GoPro to take there.
By the way keep up the great videos I've been a follower for almost 3 years now.
Stay safe and thank you for your service Bobby Gean...
3 years already?! Time flies Mark! I love grandson time!
I only want the front screen feature.
Awesome looking little camera, this would be great for when I'm or hiking or for filming my nephew doing just about anything - the kid has no fear at all.
Your nephew reminds me of me in the day lol, cheers!
want to have it for my future adventures...
looking forward to it... 😊
thanks for the review...
Hi Jerome sorry you missed the giveaway, I'll be doing more later on. Meanwhile have a 15% coupon code at checkout with this code :) Sep15OFF
Hi there, thank you for the review.
I work in the school sporting arena. In lockdown I had use my phone or a school Webcam. I will use the camera for shooting training sessions and games for video analysis and highlights for the players.
That's a great comment Keegan. Check out my UA-cam channel and you will see a video of the winners announced. I gave away three cameras! Stay tuned.
I am amazed at what you can get in a small camera like this. This looks perfect to put on husky during a walk to see what he sees during his walk. Love the wrist control part too. I see red lights on your desk that I guessing is maybe a video editing deck? If so what do you have how do you like it?
Ha, that's a great idea Keith, I've seen a few vids like that, hilarious!
so I love this thing so far, I do plan on getting one eventually, I cant find any video of people actually beating this thing while mountain biking like more action, i wanna see how good it is under water also, If I win this, I will film some trail rides with my buddies, maybe some other kind of sports kayaking maybe
That sounds great. I would have loved to have taken it out on some bike trails but the video would have been that much longer, most people would probably click away. I did see a review where he plunged it into a few pools with Koi fish swimming around (without the case), he reported all went well, the color looked great as it does have a 'diving mode' on it to compensate for underwater color loss.
Wow, I'm sold! Great review as usual Bobby! What a difference between the GoPro and this in picture quality! I especially liked the way you showed the slow motion effect as you pulled away from the shore. Gotta love all the extra attachments that come standard! I've been looking into getting a few GoPros for use when I start full timing, but also to use and start using now on my motorcycle to practice filming from the bike and editing. I was thinking to have perhaps even 3 cameras on the motorcycle.....1 pointing at me, 1 on the helmet or handle bars for a forward pic, and one on the lower crash bar for a shot from he road with part of the front wheel showing. I'd also like to be able to narrate while I drive. Even if I don't win it, for the price, to get 3 won't break the bank!
Hey Jud! It's hard to see but in the shot of me riding on The Dragon, I had a mic clipped under my helmet that worked out pretty good but would have been much better with a full face. Also, if you have one of the cameras on a bendy monster clap kind of thing, you can periodically stop and detach the cam from a crash bar and move it to somewhere else on the bike, in the end you'll have an assortment of different shots to mash up, very cool. Be safe brother!
@@GenesTherapy Perhaps then only two cameras will be necessary, thx. Btw...made an offer on that Newmar 3103 a few weeks ago...went back and forth, but she didn't accept my final offer....and the search continues. Thx for your support!
@@JR828 Well as you and I both know, everything happens, or doesn't, for a reason brother. Keep on keep'n on!
Thank you for the video. I was unless surprised that you compare 2 different views at different time of the day at the beach with the Gopro). The luminosity is obviously not the same. It would be interesting to compare them at e actly the same moment and place...
Good point, I need to get a universal mount of some kind so as to film simultaneously. If you've got the $ go for the gopro 9 ;)
Hey Bobby Gene!! Thank you for the great review! I would use this excellent little camera to start my UA-cam channel, and for just about any outdoor adventure. I love snorkeling with turtles, stingrays, and lots of different species of fish. Boating, sporting events, fireworks, and a ton of other photo ops!!! Did you try this camera in low-light or any night shots? It looks like an all-around camera for a ton of different uses (not to mention what a great value it is!!!)!!! Thanks again, and Aloha!!!!
Hi! It does pretty good in low light, I didn't do much there but it does also have night long exposure mode (tripod). Lots of turtles here where I live, lots of nests this morning on the beach. Yes you need to get some videos up on that channel of yours! Cheers!
@@GenesTherapy Thanks for the reply, Bobby Gene!!! Appreciate the info!! Stay well!!
Its nice...but i think the dji osmo action is the best value u get...i do have the akaso brave le...i use this for mountain biking and the eis isnt as good as i thought
Thanks Carl
Hi Bobby Gene we just bought a Motor Home and our selling our house to go full time. It would be great for making videos to share with friends and family of all the wonderful places we hope to see. We Go to the Daytona 500 ever year and it would be great to use it for that. I love nature so I would love to use it for manatee and Dolphins whales cool stuff like that, Eagles. Adventure is awaiting me and I would love to be able to save and share great memories. Thanks Bobby Gene 😊 Have a blessed day.
Hi Peggy, congrats on the big move, you will be living the dream! Ugh, I miss it every day! Great comment! Safe travels!
How do i play/save videos on phone or laptop? Do i need to remove memory card every time? I’m new to these tiny cameras.
You transfer via wifi built into the cam, or you can remove the micro SD card and plug into computer etc. (faster). The phone app walks you through it. I would suggest waiting on the new Brave 7 available soon, extra features.
Hi Bobby Gene, that seems to be a very good camera....it would be the perfect gift!!
Hi! Yes and these are some great comments, not easy! lol
Been considering getting an action camera so I can document upcoming travels. Looks like a great budget alternative to GoPro or DJI. Great review.
I just watched a review comparing all three of those. The Brave come out mostly on top of the others especially in regard to photos.
@@GenesTherapy Thanks for the reply. Now I'll have to go find that review.
Hi, need to buy a same tripod. Would you please share a link ( brand, store, etc.)

A new brave 7 model is out soon, stay tuned!
Great review been eyeing on this camera like I join every single giveaway of this haha I want them to finally kickstart youtube and make travel vlogs and supporting local by making content featuring local stuff hopefully I will be equipped with vlogging gears dream come true
Hi Steffedity, :) Thank you
Nice!! It is so small plus a great deal. I would use it on my property, show my Husband, Horses, dogs, & cat. Use it on our Boat & many more things!
Sounds good Star!
Looks like a super camera. We also have the GoPro 5 Hero Black for us to use.
Dang I wish I would have seen this before my rafting trip in the smoky mountains!
Me too! I gave away three of them!
Looks perfect for wandering about having fun love it
Great! There's a link in my description below if you want to order one. I just put out a video announcing the three winners!
Bro..is it possible to use wifi mode when the camera is underwater while the phone is in land like your in a boat and the cam use by a diver?...
I think that would be possible unfortunately
how do you turn image stabilization on
Hey Bro, going to take that epic motorcycle trip. Would be nice to film it. Enjoying the content of your video's. Stay safe out there.
Hey Fred, you need about three of these on different attach points on the bike, I'm looking forward to seeing some vids! Be safe!
I have been freediving with my dad for years. We have been using his own gopro to film underwater and in our adventures. He didn't let me use his own and i couldn't just buy one myself because he says i need to put my money to college. So i was dreaming if i would win this awesome camera to film videos and get into photography. And capture fishes of course. Stay safe everyone!
Hi Samu, I did another video (check my channel) of three of these I gave away, you have to comment sooner, that's a good comment and you could have won! I'll be giving more away in the future, stay tuned!
I would like to see how this compares against the hero 7 black or hero 8 with hyper stabilization.
Hi Robert, I've seen a few comparisons with the Hero 8 out there, and they found stabilization was pretty much the only area the GoPro slightly out performed the Brave. The Brave really shined with it's 20 MP photos compared to DJI and Hero 12 MP. I noticed Hero 8 price dropped a hundred bucks when the Brave was released. With the comparisons that close with this little camera, I'm not going to buy gopro any more when there is something this good, with all that's included, for the price. The Brave doesn't have the protune and all that which I've never used on my Hero 5 anyway. I love competition! Anyway, take a look for those other reviews and let me know what you found out! Cheers!
@@GenesTherapy @Gene's Therapy Great information! does it mount into the go pro screw holes? I recently bought a US Divers go pro ready snorkel set. I also saw the GoPro Hero 8 for ~$220 on sale recently. Could you do a side-by side with your go pro and this while moving? I want to use it on my moto as well.
@@robertberin4872 I got the screw holes to match up on some attachements from the Gopro hero 5 black, but the case itself is a no go. Yes when this Brave 7 was released gopro dropped it's price a hundred bucks, don' think it's permanent however. The gopro has slightly better image stability as I saw on other reviews, but not better enough to justify the extra cost in my opinion. The Brave outperformed everyone in regard to photos, 20 MP to their 12 MP. Cheers!
@@GenesTherapy Light years better than the cheap Magvox $15 1080p cam I got from Walmart! ua-cam.com/video/vHN6U0LdWPM/v-deo.html
That would be a great upgrade to my fpv drone!
Yes it would be great for that. I see the gopro 9 now has come out with a front facing display, but so expensive.
When taking a photo with the remote control does the camera have to be manually setup in photo mode or does it matter if its in video or photo mode as long as i hit the photo button on the remote it will take a pic regardless of the setting on the camera itself.
Correct, touching the photo button on the camera fires the camera in the mode you have it set up for, burst/time exposure/self timer/ all the resolutions, etc. Here's the manual from their site.
www.akasotech.com/usermanual/brave7le.pdf
What size card did you install? Thanks!
I used a 64gig card Phil, I usually pick those up they seem to have a little better value when larger. Be sure to get a newer card, Scandisk V30 micro SD
Gene's Therapy, thank you! Enjoy your day!
I've been on a keto diet for 2 years and i would love this camera to blog my journey with as i have lost 100lbs and have not been able to share this with anyone.

Winners announce today. working on it now
Awesome review. Great camera for the price as well. I'm sure whoever wins the camera will make great use of it. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Tom and Missy, thank you!
Bobby.... this would be perfect to mount inside the helicopter to get great video of the air crew working!
Andy you need to get you about three of these and mount at different points if they'll let you. It would be an awesome youtube channel dude! You would have a huge following. Give me a shout if you want some tips ;)
I don't need the camera I suggest you find a young person who love the outdoors and give it to him or her....thanks for your kindness.
2:21 the doors on this cam are so difficult to open they need cutaway shots to keep the video short enough 😉
They sure don't make it easy with the slippery surfaces-
I didnt find them any different than my gopro.
Lot's to do with this action cam... Going for adventures doing some sick slow Mo videos and underwater photography. *A DREAM COME TRUE IF I WIN THIS* 🤞🏻

Gene's Therapy No Problem, I just found your channel, great content. Be Safe and Well Brother.
@@ronfoy9618 Thankyou!
Ordering one of this in the morning. I am going to replace my GoPro Hero 3 with it.
That's great Travis, hope to hear how it works out. Keep an eye on Image Stabilization setting when switching shooting modes. Photo image quality smokes every one else for sure as well.
@@GenesTherapy Heard that. I have been watching videos on budget cameras for about two weeks now. It came down to this one vs the V50 Pro SE. Both look like solid choices but I like this one because it is water resistant without a housing. I kayak fish so that will do wonders for the audio issues I experience when in housing units. Thanks for sharing.
@@TravisDoesKayakFishing Yes it seems to perform well there. Me personally, if I film anything deeper than say 10 feet or so I would definitely wrap it in the case, water proofing anything without the special coating such as my iphone has, the camera integrity is only as good as the seals. Hope to hear back!
Will a external mic work on it
Sadly no
can we use external mic?
Not on this one, but you can with the AKASO V50 pro, and the new Brave 7 which is just released.
Hope you pick a good home for this one. I will not enter the give away. 1e I live in Europe 2e there must be a couple or person. Or a starter UA-camer Who really need this. To make better content good luck and may god bless you for this great gift.
When and where are you announcing winners?
Hi, take a look at my channel page and you will see the winner announcement video. :)
great review thanks
My pleasure :)
I would love to win one of the cameras you are giving away. I used my old Camera Digital and phone to start making a few UA-cam videos so that our Grandkids could keep up with our RV travels. We used my phone for our E-bike rides, but it fell out of the phone holder and broke in Colorado. This would allow us to film on our bikes again and get more creative and better quality video that we can get with our Old Digital Camera (and a much smaller camera too.)
Roger that Mike, I've had my phone hop out of the holder after hitting some big bumps and went skidding across the pavement, luckily no damage. I need to get a monster clamp holder for the gopro, but I like having my phone right there to monitor weather and have my tunes on earphones. I love grandson time! Cheers!
Great review and you know how to sell...Appears to be a Great camera and would love to have to record my travels after Covid-19. Have a 2003 29 foot Grey Hawk that is my happy place Therapy.....
Hi Robin, I was eyeballing that Grey Hawk back before I got the Newmar, nice rig! Safe travels!
Nice. You always have great videos
Thanks Cas
Excellent looking camera and very well priced. This would be great to help start my new UA-cam channel. Would love to have this.

Hi Bobby Gene,
First of all, I'd like to state a couple of strange coincidences.
When I was about five years old my brother and two sisters and I had a babysitter named Bobbie Jean, except she was a female.
I am also a caregiver - for the last 20+ years.
I was a secondary caregiver to my mother (my father was the Primary) from 2000 until she passed in 2012. My mother had Parkinson's disease for a little over 20 years and dementia for a little over 10 years. It’s dementia that eventually kills you - it starts to shut-down other parts of your body. After my divorce in 2000, I moved in with my parents because I could see how Parkinson's was starting to affect my mother, she was in her sixth year of Parkinson's. I made a commitment to stay with both of my parents until they both passed on because I could not see putting either parent in any type of Nursing Home. And since I was the now divorced sibling it was easiest for me to make that commitment to give back to my parents what they had given to me throughout all these years. And my brother and 2 sisters were each married and had families with children, etc.
My father who is now 84 years old has had a number of medical difficulties within the last year, also mentioning that he beat cancer and has been in full remission for 12 years. It took the medical establishment a little over a year to finally diagnose him with Myasthenia Gravis which is an autoimmune disease. And then almost one year ago he had a full-blown heart attack right in front of me and I got him to the hospital in time. They put a stent in immediately where he had 100% blockage and two weeks later they put in two more stents. They had to wait two weeks because when an individual is at that age it's less traumatizing on their body. Then they put him on blood thinners for and with the myasthenia gravis they put you on steroids and both of these things have numerous side effects, from bleeding all the time on the arms or legs to dizziness anytime you're moving or try to stand up, etc. So it's been pretty complicated, but fortunately, a month ago they finally took him off the blood thinners and that has helped him to feel better, except that he still has some dizziness, unless he's sitting down or driving or something like that.
I've been trying to get my father to purchase an e-bike for the last 4 years. He kept putting it off because at that time before he had these major health concerns he was able to do his 10,000 steps a day and always monitor his Fitbit, he and his friend were always in a friendly competition. So he was always on the move and he just felt like he wasn't ready for any kind of bicycle, because he enjoyed walking so much. But now he cannot walk as easily, and he uses a cane to help give him support from dizziness, or when he feels a little out of breath because the doctor’s don’t tell you how much (percentage-wise) of his heart has died off.
Within this past week, he told me that he was now interested in getting an e-bike and once I showed him your review on the Himiway e-bike he said that's the one for him, and the pricing is perfect. Their model ‘The All-Terrain Step Through' is perfect for him, because he can't raise his legs too high, so with this bike, you can step your leg right through and get on the pedal and start riding. I also shared your review with my sister and her husband and they also fell in love with the Himiway. So right now it looks like all three of them will be getting the Himiway, except myself. I'm a very experienced rider and therefore I have chosen the Juiced Cross-Current X, by Juiced Bikes as the e-Bike I will be also getting. I do not currently own an e-bike. I have a crossover bike that I put together myself and lost 175 pounds in one year by riding 30-40 miles daily (except in heavier rains, etc.). I have ridden almost 40,000 miles since my weight loss adventures began!
I live with my father, six months in Illinois, and six months in Florida as a snowbird. And I am doing this full-time for the last 17 years. I was working full-time for an employer until 2007 which made it difficult being a caregiver because I had to coordinate my time with my father so that he knew when he could go and do the things outside of the home that he needed to do, but we made it work.
I appreciate this video camera give-away that you are doing and I'm sure anybody would be very happy to receive it. What I would like to be able to do with it is to capture these last year or two or three of memories with my father while he's on his e-Bike in Illinois and in Florida, and also capture the different memories in different areas that we will be in. We have some trails that are off of the road and would be very nice to ride on; one is called a Legacy Trail, which, when including the Venitian Waterway has about 17 miles one-way and from Venice Florida they are currently extending the trail so that goes all the way to the Ringling Bridge which is right there in downtown Sarasota. In Illinois, we have the new Cal-Sag Trail which is 26 miles (52 miles, round-trip).
My sister and her husband are recently retired (31 days for my brother-in-law) and with their e-bikes and my father’s and my e-bike, we will travel to a few places in groups. My father's condition has him losing energy but we'll just take our time and ride and enjoy the sights and the scenery. Because along the Florida trails there are beautiful areas to investigate and areas along the road and the Gulf of Mexico where you can eat right on/by the water. So I would love to just document and capture those memories. With my mother, it was more difficult to capture anything because she had dementia and for the last five or six years she didn't know any of us. She just knew that there were nice people taking care of her, so it was very difficult to capture anything like that as a memory and it was a full-time job with her Parkinson's and dementia, along with all the meds that she was on and the pain that she was in. I was also working full-time. So now that I'm self-employed through the internet I have that freedom to be there for my father as he needs me. And, because he does not have dementia he's able to at least enjoy the sights and sounds and do some minimal bike activity on the bike and that's why we're getting the e-bike, so it'll make it easier for him to move around and enjoy everything around him.
I would be very grateful to receive this action video camera. I'm sure whomever you choose will be grateful. I thank you for the opportunity and I appreciate your channel Bobby Gene, You have a very mild and laid-back and caring approach and I appreciate that in your channel. I've always enjoyed watching your vids. I watched all of your RV videos and loved your interaction with Pippi. And now that you've crossed over I've been watching your recent videos... thanks again and have a great week.
Thank you for your kind comment. Please be sure everyone is carefully schooled on riding the ebike. It's a tall bike, and while making a slow turn around (180) with pedal assist turned on, it will jerk you forward if you are not expecting it. So it's best to perhaps start off only using the throttle just a bit to get going before peddling, and don't pedal when turning back around, just slightly use a little throttle to come around. Other than that, it's a blast. Have fun and be safe!

@@GenesTherapy Thanks... will be following that advice.
