Great no nonsense review, love it. Observation, the video image quality (frame 1:36) compared to that of your review on DJI Osmo Action 4 (frame 6:17), while driving in your truck, seem to be a bit better on contrast, color depth, gray scale and sharpness.
Nice review. I especially liked how you were able to show that on-camera mics are never even close to good enough. The audio is the most important part of any video and an off-camera mic is always required. This is true in all environments, but especially so outdoors. If you get yourself a nice 32bit mini recorder with lavalier microphone taped under your shirt your audio quality will go through the roof. All you need to do is sync the audio in post, which is a simple matter if you use the on-camera mic as a sync source. All the best.
The problem with Akaso is that they increased the price compared to the Brave 7, Which means they are now competing with an used Action 3, however they are closer to the original Osmo Action in terms of quality and features, but an used Action 1 can be had for 100 dollars so the Brave 8 is not that much of a good deal anymore. That and the fact that they do not let you forget they are a Chinese company by releasing a comical number of models, most of which are a step back from previous cameras
Very good observations and yes if I had to choose between the Action 3 and the Brave 8 for the same price I’d take the Action 3 all day. Thanks for watching!
yeah, I was sold on Akaso after seeing your Brave 7 video. Then I see the Brave 8 priced at £249! They just completely lost a customer by pricing so high (yes, that means I won't even now consider a Brave 7, although it is priced £159. Go Pro Hero 12 is £290.
Excellent take on the Brave 8 without any wishy washy over coating. Honest and direct with the goods to prove it. 👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching!

I’ve used the Rode “VideoMic” NGT with the media mod on the GoPro’s and had really good luck with that.

Not even close
I would take the OG DJI Ozmo even if I had to pay full price for it.
