Sorry the video is long! Had a lot of stuff to cover. =) The camera also takes decent 20MP pictures but I removed it from the review to shorten the video length!

That was the best detailed and accurate review of the AKASO BRAVE 7 on UA-cam, hands down!!! I have the entry level EK 7000, but I am looking to upgrade to either the Brave 7 or the Brave 7 LE. Also, after doing some research I found the AKASO 50 Elite to be a great option as well! Alex, out of the 3 for mentioned action cameras, which one would you give the highest rating for performance, reliability, quality and overall best bang for the buck? Thank you again for the outstanding review and I am glad to have subscribed to your UA-cam channel! 🇺🇸👍🏾
Hello! I haven't tested the Brave 7 LE or the V50 Elite myself but I believe the Brave 7 LE is a slightly lower version than the 7 and the V50 has no front screen. I believe the 7 shoots better quality but that's just from seeing other reviews since I haven't tested them myself. Hope that helps!
The image is so soft that it looks like a plastic film is covering the lens. The reality might be it’s just upscaled 1080p to 4k shenanigans from Akaso (again).
is it possible to use it to go in live streaming ? in pair with my smartphone, using that with streamlabs/prism and with the hotspot mobile data on . i need to go live on twitch
Hey. Good detailed review. On your comment about the cage , that’s definitely a bit of an issue. The brave 7 I got developed a crack at the left hinge where the back piece connects to the main part of the cage. Akaso is not very helpful for either the brave 7 or the 8 for that matter. They will not sell you the cage nor will they replace it as they do not have it as a replaceable part. You have to buy the waterproof case and have no audio or have to buy a whole new unit. This is where being a GoPro or a DJI Osmo would be better as there are plenty of 3rd party cases available. Also depends on how much you pay for the brave 7. I managed to convince Akaso to let be but a whole new unit for 50% off ( $115 CAD discount ). At that price it’s worth trying again for me. I was that close in picking up an Osmo but it would have been $350 CAD after taxes.
Yes you're right. Akaso should offer the frame and the side door for sale. The bigger names like the GoPros definitely would have no issues when it comes to third party accessories, but Akaso will. Down the line people will need more batteries too, and maybe a replacement lens. Ultimately the Brave 7 might be replaced by it's users when these things fail. Thanks for watching, and cheers! =)
Does this camera support ‘night vision’? Can anyone comment whether I can use as a personal protection while walking attachment? How would one mount to your person? Can it be worn as a secret camera? Any help would be much appreciated.
In my opinion I’ll just save the money and go for a more premium cameras like the GoPro or DJI, if budget gets in the way there is always used Cameras that is fairly priced
Hey! Good afternoon! Very nice and detailed review! Thank you for that. I have been using a V50 Elite for some time now. But there's this loud hum that all my videos have. Would you, by any chance, know what this is, or how to fix this? Thank you!
Hi there, I don't have experience with the V50 Elite so I don't know what the problem is with your audio. I assume you've tried different camera settings and accessories and environments? Hope it gets fixed soon.
@@TechInspected Yes, I have tried all possible audio settings. I still get than annoying hum. I tried messaging Akaso, but I have yet to receive a reply. Thanks!
Great vid thanks. Two questions. 1. What is the quality of 1080 60fps like? 2.Can cam record video with cable connected to usb charge for longer recording? Thank you.
1. There's a very short 1080p60 clip at 22:44 but rendered at 30fps for the upload. But, I'll record a new 1080p60 sample for you, give me a few hours. =) 2. Yes it can record while charging.
The Akaso Brave 7 sound recording is low. Which microphone are you using for this Akaso Brave7 for recording when indoor and outdoor usage to boost the sound level higher?
Yeah I think I know where that "rumor" came from. The PDF manual I downloaded has a note: "The camera does not record sound when it is in the waterproof case." So I think it just means if you buy the sealed waterproof case it won't pick up any audio. The open air case definitely records audio for me even when inside the frame. I think that lead to a misunderstanding that it doesn't record audio, especially on the earlier variants when the microphone was so very quiet. Anyway, cheers! =)
hi, po. ask ko po. first time going to buy a action cam po. good for cycling po?. sabi niyo po ay my bluetooth connection yun remote po, kaya po mag connect ang bluetooth mic or bluetooth headset para ma-record yung sound po? ask ko po replacesable yung battery ng bluetooth remote po, if ned to replace the battery kung over-use n? po. ok po yung regular charger (hindi po fast charger n oppo phone ko po ). ask po rin po. nag-auto save po kapag na low bat po? puwede po 64g n sandisk extrm pro po? pasenya po kung maraming tanong po :) matagal ko po inipon to buy a action cam po.😅at like ko ang video po.
1. Good for cycling? yes 2. Bluetooth mic or headset? no 3. Bluetooth remote replaceable battery? no 4. Regular charger? Yes 5. Auto save? Depends, usually yes 6. Sandisk extreme pro? yes Hope that helps!
ok sana to, pinaka mura sa market kaso - poor customer service as per feedback from FB groups - super basura na on board mic & even lagyan ng wired or wireless mic, super basura pa rin SUMMARY: sobrang sayang kc mura... STAY AWAY from this product until Akaso improves the mic
This channel is so underrated when it comes to tech reviews, no cringe commentary and annoying background music. More power to your channel sir.

Great Review 👍 Excellent Camera 📷 👏
Thank you for the comprehensive review. I decided to buy the Brave 7 based onit.
Glad it helped! Enjoy the new camera. 🙂
Very well done thanks for the detail that really helped me!
Glad it was helpful! =)

It's a great review thanks - picked up some good tips. I wish the remote was waterproof too
I'm debating on this or a earlier version go pro....what would u get
I would rather buy the akaso brave 6 plus if not phase out or akaso V50 X
What is the recommended micro SD of akaso brave 7?
The image is so soft that it looks like a plastic film is covering the lens. The reality might be it’s just upscaled 1080p to 4k shenanigans from Akaso (again).
Kapag masira po yung display saan po mag papaayos...
Bilis Ng panahon hahaha dati pinapanuod KO MGA unboxing mo Ng cherry mobile pero now hahaha grabe ang kinaganda ng gadgets .xd
Yes hehe, salamat sa support at pag panood since then hanggang ngayon. :)
Oks na din EIS nya.
is this better than DJI Osmo Action 1? does it has a wider FOV than Action 1?
is it possible to use it to go in live streaming ? in pair with my smartphone, using that with streamlabs/prism and with the hotspot mobile data on . i need to go live on twitch

Hi do Akaso have a website to connecte like Gopro with Quik?
They have the Akaso Go app for Android and iOS.

i like the part yun no overheating hehe
Underrated na feature yun e hehe =)
The Akaso Brave 7 sound recording is low. Which microphone are you using for this Akaso Brave7 for recording when indoor and outdoor usage to boost the sound level higher?
I only use the internal mics on all of the sample shots except for the one with external mic.
@@TechInspected Thank you. Not sure Akaso had solved the sound issue on Brave7. Looking at getting the 7 or 7LE. Or OTHERS.
I was reading on Aliexpress that with the case it does not record the audio, is that true?
Yeah I think I know where that "rumor" came from. The PDF manual I downloaded has a note:
"The camera does not record sound when it is in the waterproof case."
So I think it just means if you buy the sealed waterproof case it won't pick up any audio. The open air case definitely records audio for me even when inside the frame.

ok sana to, pinaka mura sa market kaso
- poor customer service as per feedback from FB groups
- super basura na on board mic & even lagyan ng wired or wireless mic, super basura pa rin
SUMMARY: sobrang sayang kc mura... STAY AWAY from this product until Akaso improves the mic
Hello be careful while running and do not topple the world please.
Ang panget nkakahilong panoorin. maalog masyado. Mag invest na lang ako sa GoPro10 sayang lng pera ko dyan.
150 usd :)
Oops typo! Haha thanks =)
bro, di ka na maka takbo, nahirapan ka
It's decent, you can hear the karaoke 😂
You move as though a whole army is moving.
sounds like the internal mic worked better then the external mic
YOU CAN CHANGE THE ANGLE OF VIEW ON THIS CAMERA. WHY NOT MENTION THAT? LOL
I thought it was implied when I mentioned that I shot in the widest field of view. =)
