    We had to re-upload due to an audio issue in the original video.
    This little guy has 4.2 stars out of 5 on Amazon. It’s a great selling and has a very high customer satisfaction. But can an action camera that is so cheap really shoot good 4k video? Does it really perform as well as a GoPro or a Yi action camera? The Akaso EK7000 really tries but it may fall a little short.

      Yes. Exactly. It’s almost a gateway to a better camera. If it never gets used because sucks then It will gather dust. For 70 bucks - whatever. But has already proven to come in handy just to have around.

    Sounds like you were going to hate on this no matter what. I bought the Hero 5 Black for £350 quid when it first came out and sent it back, utter trash. I got this for £60 on Amazon ... Is it a GoPro? No .. but it's 60 quid.

    Question. Will this make everything seem far away and slow. I need a different camera. Because I got a dashcam but it makes it seem liks cars are miles away when they're almost hitting me. And like im going way slower then I am. And my dash cam has 170 view. So will this do that to. Since it also has 170 view

    The quality for a $70.00 camera is not bad at all which is the results of the high ratings on amazon. You’re expectations were too high of an in expensive camera. Of course the quality is not of the GoPro but keep in mind you’re talking about a camera that’s several hundred dollars less. And for $70.00 it’s a great bang for your buck.

    @sumla2010 3 роки тому

    Thanks for taking the time to review this camera. I'm sure for people who think they can get something for nothing, this is very helpful. We have 3 of these cameras. One for each kid to use for vacation or beach days in the summer or whatever. Why? Because it is perfectly adequate and inexpensive. I don't have a $300-400 action camera because I don't need one. We use these cameras once or twice a year. They're lots of fun to take snorkeling or to the bike park. Kid loses one or breaks it? No big deal - it didn't cost that much. The picture and video quality is perfectly fine for some cool memories. I see a lot of reviews on here wanting to compare it to something much more expensive, but it's comparing an apple to an an orange. Once you get past the fact that they're both fruit, the similarities end, but they can both be good in their own right.

    I stopped paying attention to Amazon ratings a long time ago. Most are either fake or ill-informed. I can't tell you how many companies have approached me over the past few years and offered free or discounted products in exchange for five-star Amazon ratings and positive video reviews. It's all a game at this point. Anyway, I found yours to be a nice, honest overview. Thanks.
