SD card up to 32 gb and 8 AA batteries
Got this camera bc it was cheap, I wanted a camera in my backyard and also always wanted a trail camera. So, I'm not using this as a trail camera, but as a security one. It may not be the best, but it was super cheap and it works. Got this camera and tried to install it when I realized it would only take a sd card up to 32 gb, I had the 128. In the next day I had my back yard burglarized and they took a saw, my fish tank light, a flood light and IDK what else, it was a mess. So, if you're short of money and do't want to spend 1000 bucks on a security system, at least get this. It's dirt cheap and it's coll to catch the cats and your roommate on the camera lol. Image is pretty good. Next time I go camping I will take this with me. Working for like 2 months now. Batteries are still going, under Florida rain and sun. So I do recommend this product.

Nice kit, needs instructions
I honestly only bought this for a few accessories, but those accessories are amazing. I love using the clamp, the chest mount, and the head mount for filming. I like clamping the camera to my dogs harness to see what she sees. For the most part I think this kit was well done. My big issue, like most issues I’ve read is that there aren’t necessarily any instructions that tells you which pieces go together. I really enjoy this accessory‘s kit and I’m sure I’ll update my review as time goes on to let you all know about their overall durability through time.

Ideal cycle cam
Once I mastered the instructions and got the video working the camera was great and did exactly what I wanted. The initial problem was unclear on/off instructions which were not obvious from the limited text supplied. Basically all that was needed was to set the mode from the back switches and press the on button until there was blue and red showing and the results were fine. I thought about using the handlebar mount (supplied) but on testing and evaluation the most useful videos were gained from use of the helmet mount - just personal preference.Video quality is very good for the price and more than adequate for monitoring safety issues, so I am very pleased with my purchase.

A little complicated to set up, but fantastic cust
Overall, very happy with this camera. Setting it up is a little cumbersome, and remote access from the internet or the AmcrestView mobile app was inconsistent until I set it up for UPnP/DDNS remote web access. But the customer service is fantastic. I've called 2 or 3 times and always speak with a real person who has been able to solve my issues. Today I called and spoke with Jay Mills about setting up email alerts for motion detection when we are on vacation. The solution was not something I would have figured out on my own, and Jay had me up an running in about 10 minutes. I would recommend this product just because of the customer service.

a great angle! I Highly Recommend this Accessory K
The accessories in the kit make filming in any situation easy and in some instances hands free. The case is very durable and so are the high quality accessories inside. This one bundle saved me who knows how many headaches! All of the accessories are very useful and work very well with my GoPro HERO4. This kit makes it easy to film and journal my garden, family events, sporting events, and driving (as a dashcam! Do not operate a camera while driving. Distracted driving has proven fatal and costly!). I even use the handlebar mount with a proper directional mount on my fishing pole for a great angle! I Highly Recommend this Accessory Kit

Good Value For An Add On Flash
I needed to get more flash than was produced by the stock flash on my Canon EOS Rebel. I did not want a large, heavy (4 or more batteries), mounted on the camera.This unit solved the problem! It only uses 2-AA batteries and makes a big flash for a smaller unit. I'm a realtor and it fills the room for color rich pictures.I love the bounce feature and find I'm using it whenever I have a white ceiling in a room. I'm not a photo artist but this Speedlite in combination with my 10 to 20 wide angle lense has helped me to produce wonderful listing photos. I love the compliments from the other agents in my office!

Good, non wallet breaking alternative to a Go-Pro.
Likes: Small, compact form factor. Makes the camera unobtrusive. Very good picture quality for the price. There's also a wide range of accessories for the productDislikes: Akaso EK-7000 is so tiny that you run risk of misplacing the product quite easily. I guess it's a pro/con dependent on how clumsy you are. Not the biggest fan of the plastic waterproof casing it comes with. Wished the bottom helmet attachment didn't come soldered onto the thing and i can use the waterproof case as a standalone.Final assessment: great product for those who want to get into go pro like photography/video but don't want to cough up so much money.

good flash with the ability to bounce
Pros:Excellent flash for the price. I've used it indoors and outdoors at events with my digital Canon SLR. I enjoy the comparatively smaller size of this flash - less weight and it packs a nice punch. The moveable head gives you the option to bounce the flash off the ceiling. Easy to use - slide it on and go.Cons:No battery life indicator. I find it easy to get caught up in the event and not realize that my batteries need replacing and then it's too late.Tip:When using this flash straight on, I turn down the flash exposure in my camera's menu to -2/3 and also use a diffuser. I find this gives more natural skin tones.

Excellent value, sharp images/videos
Very sharp images and videos from this little camera. Used it for a lot of underwater shots while snorkeling and scuba diving on vacation and it held up really well. I was very impressed with the quality of my images. There was a slight malfunction on one day where it kept on refusing to change mode, but that might of been due to scuba diving at around about the limit of its depth. Its fairly easy to use, although the app isn't the best IMO. Haven't used it on my motorcycle yet because it doesn't come with a curved mount for chin mounting, but you can get one for $20 which I'm in the process of doing. All in all a bargain for the price.
