Thank you for making this video. I just bought the Brave 4 and had no clue.
Excellent unboxing and comparison video. I also liked how you checked the various settings (like 60 hz for USA frequency; and the difference between the gyroscope (video) and stabilization (photos).
i really appreciate the video and going through all the details. just got this camera and this helped more than you know. Happy holidays Sir.
Thank you. I couldn't even figure out how to get it off the stand until I found your video. My first one! Very helpful video!
Thank you for making this! I was thing about buying one for making fishing videos, but I just wasn't sure about the quality. But this really helped so thank you!
Thank you for this video!!!!! I was scared to touch it! This was very helpful and appreciated!
Just received this camera. Vid was very helpful. Thanks!
Amazing review! Thank you very helpful
In order to get a low price cam with outstanding 1080p, shop for one with 4k/60 fps.
Thank you i need one
Thank you such a detailed review
Congrats sir! & thank you for the review this item!
Great review thank you
The walk test looked good for the brave 4 im impressed as well☺️
I have viewed several videos on the brave 4……And yours is by far the most thorough! I really enjoyed it …. it was helpful. I have never used a device like this as I usually just take my digital cameras. There’s something about this that intrigued me so I’m giving it a try.Thank you
I really enjoyed the video. I just received my camera today and wanted to get some input on how to use it before trying it out. I learned a lot and am not as overwhelmed as I was. Thank you.
Good video, did help me with my decision to buy this camera.
It is always nice to see people who like animals! Give your dogs a big hug.
Appreciative greetings from the Netherlands. Your video is a big help. Now I'll get my Brave 4 easier going..... Thanks!!
Thanks for the video, good stuff. I have watched the video since I bought brave 4K. I like it. Thanks again
Watched a dozen videos on the Brave 4. Your was absolutely the best. Very helpful. Will be diving in Roatan in a few days hopefully with Whale Sharks .... not known for giving you a second shot at filming them, so it all has to come together. Thanks you!
this vid was SUPER helpful thank you
Good video man. Informative.
Thank you for the very informative, detailed and helpful review! I picked up the EK 7000 last week and will be going for the Bravo 7 very soon! It’s great to know that I don’t have to shell out hundreds $$$ for a Go Pro! 🎥👍🏾
Thank you that was very helpful!
Excellent review......thank you!
Good video thank you, I appreciate the information going to order one right now
This has the exact same accessory pack as a Campark X30 4k. I think all these cams are made in the same Chinese factory.
thanks for the review bro i actually buy this action cam today because of your videos hehehe thanks
Just bought my new akaso brave 4 .i haven't opened it yet for my unboxing vlog...i hope it would work well as i will use it tomorrow.but as i watched your very thorough review and comparison i believe i'm not gonna have problems with it..good work sir..
Thanks for the great review! I think your old camera has a better picture. I'm disappointed I bought the Brave 4. I wish some of the questions people asked here were answered- they're good questions. This is my first "GoPro" type camera.
thank a lot ! i just brought this Akaso Brave 4 4K
thank you! your review is very useful
Great review!
I’m looking for an action camera to record four wheeling in the woods to put on UA-cam and this video helped me a lot.
Nice instructional video bro 😷👍🏻😎 thanks 🙏
EK7000 does have FOV adjustment on 3rd page of settings between Diving Mode and Effect. It works by cropping the video so you do lose sharpness.
Good video thanks for the comparison
Can I use 128 GB SD card?
Videos like these are so informing...got a love m..
Thanks just bought our 5 year old the brave 4 that he asked for from Santa. I think he will like it.
The static sound from the mic can be removed/reduced with audacity, depending on the audio format you may need to get the 2 plugins in order to import the audio file. Plenty of tutorials along with links to the plugins on yt.
Nice backyard you got there... however, i did observe one thing that the image stabilization was not working .. was it activated while recording ?
Thanks for this thorough review. I just picked up the Brave 4. I have Gopro session and 5 Black but wanted one more camera angle. I didn’t want to break the bank either. I have a gimbal that I will see if this camera fits into as well. I know you mention the stabilization was an important feature for you. It is for me as well and I was satisfied with the Hero 5 Black but it was a bit lacking. I’m not assuming the Brave 5 will be any better, but if I can get it in my gimbal then it’s a nonissue.
Again, thanks for your work on this.
Thanks
The large alligator clip piece mates to the open back clip that has the top & bottom threaded tripod holes. Got the Brave 4 on lightning deal at Amazon for $67. My two selling points were the adjustable angle on the lens and being able to power the camer via USB.
Thanks from Italy....one question ....you know name of sensor and chipset from this camera ?
Thanks for this video very easy to understand and the comparison makes it an easier choice. Looks to me as though the 7000 has a better pic IMO!
Excellent review. I want to purchase an action camera but for an old gal I do not want to spend a lot. I appreciate all your input.
Thanks for the video, how does the Brave 4 compare to the Hero 10?
you have done a good video im going to buy one
Gyro is a gimbal setting. The stabilization is for shake stability.
My brave 4 came with a seperate clear door that has two open slots for audio on the door where the bumpers belong.
Excellent
Thanks!
Nice video mate .Subscriber from Kerala ☻
Does the remote or in the phone app allow you to turn on the camera without you physically pressing the turn on button on the camera?
do you know how to use this as a webcam replacement on an iMac? Is that possible?
You have some very useful encyclopedia
What did you use to get the protective cover gunk off of the lens?
Hi
Great review. Lot of informations about this cam on your video, great job.
I have a questions:
Have you try to plug this camera on your iMac. Does it work with OBS? With HDMI port or USB port?
I know to you can use it on a tv with a hdmi to mini hdmi adapter
The front display is really useful if you do film yourself and need a timer to see how long your video segment is.
the best video on this camera, thx :)
what video editing software do you use when editing video from that camera?
This unboxing experience was like mine (7000ek). I had to guess, suppose, or assume the purpose of each accessory because instructions certainly don’t make it clear. After a few months I still have not figured them all out. I appreciate your effort. Seems to me that for one just wanting a basic inexpensive camera to get started the 7000 is sufficient. For those wanting notably better audio and video, skip the Brave and shop for another brand, probably GoPro.
Can you please tell me if the camera Akaso Brave 4 supports power from the Powerbank? Thank.
Nice video. I have to buy an action cam, since I need it on my motorbike, and I think I will get the EK7000.
The 7000 seems sharper while the 4 seems more stable. Could it be the film on the Brave 4 that is causing it to be less sharp? Have you tried the wifi? My iPhone will not connect to the Victure that I have.
what software you use for making the movie etc.
Do you have to change the batterys on the charger are can you also charge them while inside the camera with the USB?
Can someone help me i dont know witch take between the brave 4 and the ek7000 pro
Much obliged
Best review of this camera on UA-cam!!
I buyed Brave-4 so not the best but I like it it's cool especially night view recording wonderful
Nice unboxing video.
I'm planning to make video channel for acoustic covers, I'm a bit confused about what camera and mic do I use that is on the affordable budget. I need your opinion Sir thank you in advanced.
How is video quality better than Brave 4 or Ek7000? Thank you
Hey, i have a question for my akaso brave 4 pro.
I bought the camera to geht nice and wide video shootings for my holidays.
When i go to video mode, i can't change the angle view.
On their side, they said it can change to 170 degree angle but when i go to settings, the "angle" button is greyed out and can't be clicked.
Only in Foto mode i can change the angle. Is my camera broken
I Bought a Soocoo and love it
Terrific. Thanks.
Hi, the microphone is inside or need of one a part?
Good video....thanks
Is this camera compatible with a gopro suction cup mount or do they offer one?
get the GEEKAM brother is a good camera good video any way ! keep the good work
I have this camera (brave 4). It works great. Recently I have been trying to use the Time Lapse function. However, I can't seem to figure out the steps. I go to the settings menu and select "time lapse". Then I select a time, say 1 picture every 5 seconds. I then get out of the settings menu and select "camera". If I then press the top button (OK) it will take one picture but never repeats at 5 seconds. What am I doing wrong? Also, time lapse is a camera (picture) function and not a video function, right? I called Akaso's phone help number in Maryland but they could not help. They never had my question. I sent an email to Akaso in China and am waiting to hear back.
Hi, nice review, about microphone, i believe you can connect external microphone through a HDMI to female connector....
The external mic is really good and worth using. I drilled a hole in the side of the waterproof case so I can use it with the case. Of course not waterproof now but I am not using it for underwater shots.
helpful stuff, man. im a total novice on cameras and am doing a big fund raising bike ride this weekend and wanted to sort of document it all (to the best of my ability!).....so, thanks to your extensive review (and a couple of others), i opted for the akaso brave 4. currently, im playing around with it...the biggest issue im encountering is how the hell to mount the camera to either my handle bar or helmet! any suggestions? thank you again for this!
Make sure you check out my review on the Campark V30!
How many megapix-sells? Haha.
Right, i swear it's pronounced megapixels, not i was wrong!🤣
i pronounce it like meh-guh-pick-suls
Does it not have a clothing clip? Wanted something to clip to clothing so it was less conspicuous but I might just chest strap like you do and try my best to ignore the staring lol.
Hi there, a really nice detailed review and comparison video. I bought the ek7000 cam some time ago to do fpv on a drone I was building, ( its just about finished) unfortunately the ek7000 does not output analog video which is what I need as an input for my drone's video transmitter, I ended up mounting a hdmi to analog converter onto my drone so I could view my cams video remotely, and record onto the sd card. Unfortunately there is no way to trigger the camera to start recording video or take pictures in pic mode when the cam is outputting hdmi signal which is extremely disappointing. I wonder if the brave 4 has the same issue, if not, I would definitely upgrade to the brave 4.
Why don’t you just use a foxeer arrow as your FPV feed and 3d print mount this to your drone? That’s pretty much how everyone os doing it!
@@kwadwadfpv2386 I am using a fixed fpv camera connected to the front of my drone. I have added a video switching module to switch between the hdmi source on my gimbal mounted akaso cam and the source from my fixed fpv cam.
I have akaso brave 4 and when i start shooting videos and timelapse videos, after a few seconds it stops itself, so i can't shoot the videos i want. Can you help me?
GOOD REVIEW! THANK YOU!!! I’ll but it
Syazs I’ll but it 😂😂😂😂
Christian’s Exploring Channel HAHAHA, i’ll buy it🤦🏻♂️
I know but he said but it
Hello, do you know if there is a way for the brave4 to record while its plugged into your car adapter? For me it goes straight to a mass storage screen that I can't get out of. Thanks.
Maybe try a charge only cord without the data lines, so it doesn't think it needs to transfer data -
what camera was this video taken with?
why is your video so out of synch at the end? what camera are you shooting that on? I see you keep editing to see if that makes it better, but it doesn't. is that akaso brave 4 losing synch?
Any feedback when using this cam at night?
How do I turn on the wifi and use the remote bracelet??
Does it have a sony sensor? The EK7000 video is much better than the brave 4.
The piece at 5:58 slides in behind the bare frame holder you will have to take off the waterproof case to place it in there tho. Then you can clip the camera on to your jacket or hat but it won't be very secure thats why its a good idea to get 50 in 1 Accessory kit from amazon that comes with a head and chest strap and even a tripod all that for just $25 dollars
Nice video
Just received this as a gift. Watched this video while waiting for the batteries to charge ... hoping to learn something about the Gyro and IS functions. I think you lost a lot of video quality by switching to the 110-degree viewing angle.
Its great review men so which one u can highly recomend?
I think the EK7000 videos look better but the Brave 4 has stabilization, that's decent but not perfect. it's up to you!
@@FastGadgets thanks bro godbless you
Good video. I appreciate it was a lot of work. I am expecting to open one as a present tomorrow so, I it was good getting a jump on it.
The walking video showed the Stabilization difference in the 7000 beautifully. HOWEVER...The Driving test should have been Apples to Apples meaning, 170 to 170. Not 170 to 110. IMHO.
LASTLY...I am so disappointed in the mic, now :( Although, it should be great for a 2-camera shoot, I was also planing on making occasional videos from my car but, again, the mic quality is sub-standard for this quality of video.
everyone complaining about audio for this... JUST YOU WAIT until you hear the v50x...
Can you use this as a dash cam?
Hello nice Video! Is it possible to attach another microphone to the cam to capture better Sound if yes which ones?
Thanks in advice ! thumbs up
Unfortunately you cannot attach an external mic to either camera. Usually I’ll use a lapel mic and plug it into my cell phone and record audio with my phone in my pocket. I sync the audio later in editing.
thanks for the fast answer !
thanks for the fast answer thumbs up !
Their professional version has mic support, for $100.
