I was hesitant at first to order this because the price was so good. I made the purchase based on the reviews, and I can happily say that I am glad that I did. It performs great for what I will be using it for; recording motorcycle rides. I will probably end up getting another one to keep in my truck so I can have it pointed out the side window and shame people who drive while looking at their mobile phones!The video quality is extremely good and even the still shots are nice and clear. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest this video camera to anyone who is looking for an alternative to the higher-priced big name video camera.

I had an issue with an Akaso V50 camera I purchased on Amazon and wrote a review explaining a very minor point. Weeks past and I forgot about it. Then to my surprise Akaso sent me an email asking if I wanted a full refund or a replacement camera. WHAT A SHOCK! I, of course, wanted a replacement. I received the replacement two days later, and am now creating beautifully smooth slow motion videos of birds using the 1080p @ 90fps setting. Thank you Akaso for your unsolicited offer and restoring my faith in your corporate ethics. And thanks to the representative who contacted me and quickly evaporated my suspicions and trepidation.

The first item I used from this kit was the handlebar attachment for my bike. During that one bike ride, it worked well. The next bike day, I had not attached my camera (thank goodness) and while riding to my destination, it fell off onto the ground. I thought it was just the vibration but when I tried to reattach, I realized that instead on one solid plastic piece, it was three pieces taped together, the tape came off one side. I re-stuck the tape, but I wouldn't trust using my camera with this mount again. The selfie stick has worked great, no issues. I have not used any other accessory.

I purchased this camera to replace a gopro hero3+ black that died. I was pretty disappointed with the customer service, or lack of it that I received from gopro. I will admit that I have only had this camera a couple of days but I wanted to start posting a review for this camera since as of now there are only a handful of review. I will continue to update the review as I play with more features.****This review is getting rather lengthy so I think I will put up a pros and cons for those that don't quite have the time to read the entire review****Pros:GPS enabled trackingANT+ PairingBluetooth compatibilityTravel lapse modeVariety of video and photo modes, including night settingsAuto orientation so you don't have to remember to flip your videoStandardized mount that can work with gopro and 3rd party mountsg-metrix use with virb editcompatibility with other garmin devicesSeparate controls for photo/video very easy to useVoice control works very wellCons:Battery gets very hot and con produce fogging inside of the case if you don't use the desiccant.The first camera I received wouldn't pair with the fenix 2 watchSome settings such as continuous time lapse are only available in extended time lapse mode.As far as cons go that is really all I have right now.I have to say I love the g-metrix overlays they are awesome and make my cycling videos a lot more interesting for others to watch. So far when I have used the altimeter door my elevation and grade have been fairly accurate. The video and picture quality seem very good, and I am more than happy with these. I also like that the orientation can be set to manual so that I don't accidentally film an entire trip upside down.The touchscreen is nice and big, bright, and responsive on a camera this size. The menus take a bit to get used to coming from a gopro but nothing too terribly crazy. I do like that you can use the touchscreen even inside of the waterproof case, but sometimes I just get frustrated with having to do the same swipe several times to get a response so I start using the buttons which work great.The separate button/lever for photos and video respectively are great. I also like that you can just flip the lever forward and it will power up and begin taking video. It takes a couple of seconds for this to happen but it is great for when you are in a hurry and you can also turn the camera off as long as this is the way it was turned on.Travel lapse and time lapse have seemed to work great so far. I have only messed around with them in the car and a bit on my bike. The one thing that I am at least so far disappointed by is the virb edit software when editing travel and time lapse photos. I wanted to edit how long each picture stayed up but I couldn't figure out how to select all of them and change the time all at once, instead I had to change the time on each individual picture. At least so far I am not a fan of the edit features available for travel and time lapse. This is more an issue with the editing software than the camera so I'm not really taking points off for that. One thing to note with the travel and time lapse is that if you have the camera set to auto shut off it apparently will do this while travel lapse is going. I had to change that setting to get the travel lapse to record correctly. ****I wanted to clarify that this was using the time and travel lapse features in the photo mode. I have yet to play with them in video mode.****The slomo feature is nice in that you don't even have to think about what setting to use, you can just select one of the presets. I set that and filmed using a circular saw and then slowed it to 12.5% in the software, which is the lowest you can go. The blade was still moving way to fast to make out individual teeth but the way the sawdust swirled around when it was that slowed down was pretty awesome to watch.One disappointing thing with the camera has been the night photo and night time lapse. Maybe I just need to get into the pro settings and adjust some of those settings but compared to when I was messing around with a gopro hero4 silver the night photos from the virb are nowhere near as good as those on the gopro. I may change this part of the review after messing with more of the pro features. I also wish the delay feature was available on all of the time lapse settings rather than just extended. It would be nice to be able to set up a night lapse photo shoot and then go to bed and let it start in the middle of the night.I have also messed around with the loop video just using the camera as a dash cam. This worked great and I think could come in very handy while cycling. I have had issues with a bunch of kids running me off the road that I would have like to have a license plate number. The only issue is that the camera gets really hot on the dash and inside of the waterproof case it really heats up. You also can't plug in the camera meaning it eats through the battery. I have orderd the cage and I think this should take care of a few of those issues.On a rather odd note my wife said the camera looks more masculine than the gopro so I guess since I'm a man that is a plus, who knows, just thought I would mention it since she said it.So at least to date my main issues are with the night photo/night time lapse modes and also with the virb edit software. As I mentioned both of these may be user error as opposed to issues with the camera or software.I plan to take the camera out into the high Uintas this weekend and see how it does on some hikes, drives, etc. Then down into the red rock area and see how things go down there, including some night time lapse to try to get some star photos. I will continue to update this review, I just wanted to make sure to get some more reviews up for the camera.9/30/2106I have been messing around with voice controls and overall they seem to work pretty well. The only issue is just getting used to using the proper phrasing. It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't get voice control to record a video. It is because I would say "OK Garmin, Start Video". The OK Garmin part activated voice control but start video isn't the proper phrasing. You have to say start recording or the video won't activate, you also have to say "OK Garmin, Stop Recording" to get it to stop. With taking a picture it is nice because you have 2 options, take a photo and take a picture both work. Once you remember that the voice controls work really well and from quite a distance even with the case on. That mic on the front works really well I have been impressed with how clearly sound is recorded through the case, much better than the gopro3+ or 4. I haven't tried the highlight feature with voice control or without so currently I can't comment on that. I will continue updating the review as I use more features.10/2/16New update. We went hiking in the Uintas and I took the Virb along. I used the altimeter door because I wanted to make sure that we had all the info for the hike since it was entirely above 10,000 ft. I also tracked the hike using a Fenix 2 hike mode with smart gps on. In hindsight I wish I would have changed this to record every second. I took photos and recorded video. The sound on the video was surprising good with the case on considering that at times it was fairly windy. We only took small sections of video which when editing together shows little dots and small sections of the overall trail. I have been trying to use the overlay metrix from the fenix so that I could get the entire trail to show up and then have a glowing dot show where on the trail that the clip was shot. So far I haven't figured out how to do this and it is pretty frustrating but again not an issue with the camera if anything it is not being familiar enough with the software or the software not having that functionality. I did use the auto make video feature where you select music, theme, clips, etc and the virb software just pumps out a video that matches the length of the music. This worked out surprisingly well and if you are feeling lazy is a great way to put together a little video of a trip. I again used the voice controls to take pictures of us together when we were in the Notch. It was pretty windy up there but I was still able to get the virb to take photos from a good 20 feet away. One option that I wish was available was the zoom and ultra-zoom in photo mode. All I have been able to find is changing from 12 mp to 8 mp. The pictures turned out really well and I liked being able to add some of the overlays so we could have the elevation. On the way back down it started raining and hailing pretty good. I was a bit worried about having the altimeter door and started noticing a fogging on the lcd screen. Garmin does provide a desiccant pack I just neglected to put it in the case. I can't comment yet on how effective this is or if I would have had the fogging issue if I had used the waterproof door. On the trip out I turned the auto off feature back on and set up travel lapse in video mode. I wanted to see if the camera shut itself down like it did in travel lapse in photo mode. The travel lapse in video mode stayed on and took great pictures every 1 mile. I also messed around with the live streaming to youtube. This isn't really a feature I see myself using a lot but it did work fairly well. I was using my home wifi network for my phone and camera and had a bunch of other things on the network so there was a pretty good lag. I decided not to try it using my data on the phone because it seems to use a pretty big amount of data. Features that I still need to play with are trying to control the camera from my watch as well as pairing some of the ant+ devices to the camera. So far I have been really happy with the camera and people that have asked me about it have seemed very intrigued by all of the options and possibilities.10/4/16I tried to pair the camera with my fenix 2 watch using the virb remote instructions in the manual. For some reason the watch just continually says no Virb found. I have tried to use the New Virb selection but it still is unable to pair with the camera. This is a frustrating discovery because this is one of the features that I was really looking forward to trying in the hopes that I could use my watch without having to buy the remote or always use my phone. If I am able to remedy the issue or I discover why the pairing isn't working I will update this section of the post. If anyone reading this has any suggestions on what I might try please let me know. The firmware on the watch and the camera are both up to date as of 10/4/16 when I tried to pair. Oh and I also tried with the Edge 510 even though it isn't listed as a compatible device. Since it had the virb section under sensors and I couldn't get the fenix to work I figured I would give it a shot. No luck with that either. I have been able to detect ant+ heart rate monitors so I know something with ant+ is getting through, just no luck with the remote features. If I can't get this figured out I may have to adjust my rating down. One of the big selling points was the ability to work with some of my other garmin devices and let me control the camera with them. I knew the edge 510 was possibly not going to work but the fenix 2 is listed as compatible.10/9/16 *****After many days of communication with garmin customer support it has been determined that the camera is most likely defective since I have been unable to pair it with the fenix 2 after many attempts at troubleshooting with customer support. I should receive a replacement shortly and I will give this one a thorough run through. I am still pretty happy with the camera and if I can just get this pairing thing taken care of I am still comfortable with my 4 start rating. Garmin customer support has been extremely helpful. I will update the review to reflect any issues or lack of issues with the replacement camera*****10/13/16I received the replacement camera and have been playing around with it. It quickly paired up with my fenix 2 watch so that is working. I will run it through all of the other features but so far everything seems to be okay. I went for a bike ride and used the electronic image stabilization. This worked really well on the road ride, although one section of road that is really rough had pretty choppy video. I went for a short ride so the battery wasn't an issue. I do worry that it will be difficult to record longer rides because of the battery life.11/28/16Camera number 2 is going back as well. Unfortunately I am a bit outside of being able to return it to Amazon. This camera is having issues with the video record switch now powering up the camera and starting video. If the camera is powered on the record switch works fine. I thought I had tried out this feature when I received it but either I didn't or something else is going on. Garmin has authorized return but it looks like I may have to pay for shipping which is a bit frustrating for a camera that is less than 60 days old. I am still a fan of the camera and Garmin's customer support but it is frustrating to be going on my 3rd camera in less than 90 days.

Fantastico rapporto qualità-prezzo e prodotto ben fatto.Tantissimi accessori da utilizzare con la camera. Qualità dei materiali buona e qualità video ottima! Le immagini sono nitide anche nell'uso sott'acqua ed è comodo anche il telecomando.Inoltre possibilità di utilizzo con app in remoto. Soddisfatto dell'acquisto!Fantastic value for money and well made product.Lots of accessories to use with the camera. Good material quality and great video quality! The images are clear even when used underwater and the remote control is also convenient.In addition, it can be used with apps remotely. Satisfied with the purchase!

This camera is a great alternative to many of the costlier GoPro alternatives and has many of the same features. Overall the build quality seems good and I like that it ship with 2 batteries so you are always ready to shoot. I have not got a chance to try it out underwater but the case does provide good bumpdrop protection while you travel with it. The image stabilization is good and I can definitely see a difference with it on vs off. I have not tried a microSD card larger than 64GB (which is the max according to the manual) but I think that is definitely a con if you are unable to use larger cards. Overall though for spending ~$120 you can get a better 4K60P camera.

I really like the akaso but I have to give it 4 star rating cause it has flaws it’s a great device it really is I recommend it most features you will never use I don’t know why there there what didn’t work and what you need and action camera for is 4k 60fps and 720 at 240fps it locks up the camera you have to pull the battery and it doesn’t matter how many exchanges you do I did one exchange but for the majority of the recordings you would record in 4k at 30fps and it looks pretty good I’m pleased with it thanks sorry about knocking one star I have to tell the truth.

Took this snorkeling in Cancun and was impressed for the price. It's no Hero, but performs well underwater. I found the battery life to be around 45 minutes for video and the stills were pretty good. The biggest issue I had was trying to figure out if the camera was recording or not as the display doesn't clearly show it. A nice "Rec" would be helpful on the screen when it's recording, or something that's obvious when you're under water. The setup wasn't bad, despite the camera's lack of thorough instructions. The added attachments were also nice, especially the remote for taking pictures. I am pleased with this unit for the things I've used it for so far.
