A little confusing
It sounds great. I like the look. It was easy to setup. But it’s kind of confusing when trying to adjust the volume and using other functions

Amazing customer service if you buy with Akaso Dir
I've had given a 1 star review to the Brave 4. However, Akaso kept contacting me to offer a different product to make me a happy customer. Let me tell you something, Akaso is ALL about satisfying customer. I am extremely impressed with their devotion to our 100% satisfaction. It gives people peace of mind on buying their products, knowing that they will do their best to make everyone happy. Two thumbs up to Aakaso.The Brave 4's video quality was very disappointing, but the V50 Pro is a whole another level. Real 4k footage. I have a 4k laptop, and the footage looks stunning. I haven't been able to try the under water option, but I am definitely looking forward to it when we go back to Costa Rica for the summer.The camera comes with a water proof casing, a water resistant (not water proof) watch for taking pictures and videos remotely, and lots of base options for different things like bicycle mounts, helmets, etc.Be confident to buy Akaso products. They really stand behind their products, and make sure you buy from Akaso Direct here in Amazon, and not other sellers.

Great usb mic
Sound quality is great! So far I'm using this for web conferencing so this is way overkill... However there is a plan to work in some YouTube videos, we'll see if that ever happens, however I'm certainly prepared now. I've yet to test and understand all the sound settings, however the build quality of the mic is awesome. If someone ever breaks into my house I could certainly use this as a weapon. Joking aside it is built well.Some down sides I've noticed, it has to be directly infront of you if you want the optimum sound quality. It is a bit of a learning curve for positioning and gain control and camera positioning so that the mic isn't blocking you. I also notice it does pick up sounds from hitting or banging the desk. A boom would solve this but I'm already overkill for my current need. Obviously it will still work great far away but you do notice a huge downgrade in sound quality as you compensate by turning up gain and picking up room echo and background noise. Close up low gain is the way to go.

great for those of us on a tight budget.
Being a poor college student in school for Photography, our teachers often recommend several items we might need in our gear bags for our practice shoots. One of the first things one of my teachers suggested was an external flash and a hot shoe extension. I was looking around for some of the ones he suggested, i couldn't believe how much a major branded flash cost. Now, i've not really used a branded flash yet, and i am pretty sure i would love it if gifted one, but for now, this does what i need. Throw in a set of rechargeable batteries and you're good as gold.My teacher was right. It does give much more dramatic lighting to my photos. I have better control of where my light falls.This gets me by until i can afford a much more expensive flash, possibly one with an additional model light included.My set up is a Nikon D5100, and i use this flash with a hot shoe extension attached to my camera, or i use it as a slave with my built in flash with a diffuser. it works both ways.

Super cute!!
I never knew anything like this existed until I saw it online at Amazon! We have the typical mirror attached to the backseat to keep an eye on our nearly 6 month old, but at nighttime you cant see what he's doing or if he's sleeping. Being a first time Mom, I worry, all the time. I also find the need to check and make sure he's breathing at all times. Perhaps that anxiety will ease up over time, but I HATE not being able to see my baby while I'm driving. We got the mirror to help ease some of that anxiety, and it does, but this little wireless video camera for the car is even better. The stuffed Giraffe is SUPER cute and my boy loves looking at him and giggling at him. The monitor is small, doesn't take up a ton of room, and gives a clear picture of whats happening in the back of the car. I didn't have any issues getting it hooked up, and I haven't had any issues while using it. Overall, I am VERY happy with this monitor and recommend it to any new parent!!

Product and customer service are amazing!
Edited 4/30/2020- Hello Baby was amazing to work with for customer services, and sent us a replacement camera that fixed the issue completely. We are excited to use this monitor for longer!Edited 4/11/2020- I have had this monitor for 11 months. It had been great for us, but it is now darkening and making it harder to see our baby, and there are increasing random black outs. These are getting worse and we now cannot see our son clearly at all. I am disappointed. Contacted the company. We purchased this for the Pan/tilt/zoom features, and it works well. The mounting kit was missing when we initially received it, and I had a difficult time reaching customer service. I ended up messaging on Facebook and they were receptive. My emails were not answered, but they said the new email on the website is current! Great range, sound, and picture quality. It does occasionally blur out momentarily with lines on the screen. But minimal connection issues. This monitor is a great find, and much more cost effective than the infant optics. The screen size is great as well, the mounting is not a shelf, it’s just a screw into the wall but it works better than anticipated. I would purchase again!

A simple solution for light to medium rigs
This is made for simple to medium setups. A nice light tripod and a camera. Don't lean into it too much or rest your weight against it while moving around as it will likely put more wear on it than you'd like. Also, don't hit any small bumps in the path like cables under the carpet or anything as that could cause issues as well as it won't always roll over them nicely (don't want to tip your rig).We have used a number of dollies that look and feel just like this one. It's really hard to find a super heavy-duty option for some reason. It's like they are all made within the same two factories and then rebranded dozens of times.However, if you avoid overloading it with weight, treat it right and push it carefully, you will be fine. We tend to buy into models just like this to bring to conventions and other mobile locations where we capture a lot of interviews. It makes it a lot easier to drag the gear around. Eventually, the parts that keep the arms expanded will start to fail and you'll be looking for a new one. We have yet to find one of these that lasted forever.

Stabilizzatore per fotocamere
Stabilizzatore per fotocamere-Devo dire che è veramente difficile da calibrare, ma forse è perche lo sto usando per stabilizzare uno smartphone ed ho dovuto aggiungere pesetti personalizzati per arrivare all'equilibrio perfetto.AGGIORNAMENTO: Ho utilizzato questo oggetto per vari mesi( con una action cam) e ammetto che sono rimasto soddisfatto di questo prodotto.PRO:Robusto (materiale: Alluminio) Leggero Sicuro Smontabile (intendo che si possono ricavare molti accessori utili scomponendo lo stabilizzatore, per esempio: varie viti per cavalletti, un piccolo pole molto comodo e una piccola testa a sfera)CONTRO:Difficile da calibrare La testa a sfera va oliata spesso per garantire un ottimo funzionamento Con le action cam si nota un pezzo di alluminio rosso nel lato inferiore (nulla che non si possa risolvere girando il la camera) Ho notato che dopo movimenti veloci bisogna aspettare pochi secondi che esso ritorni in posizione opportuna.

Awesome flash, but here are the differences betwee
I sold my Canon 430 EX II and picked up this flash, and here are the differences I can tell. I've decided that the features that are missing are not worth $200, but your situation may be different.- First and biggest difference to me is that the flash doesn't "lock" on to the camera, it screws on. The screw is plastic. It isn't as easy to put on quickly.- Biggest gripe: changing the direction of the flash is NOT easy. I was afraid I was going to break it the first couple of times, but now I'm just using the brute force necessary to move it. Moving 430 EX II is like slicing butter with a hot knife compared to this. This still isn't a deal breaker for me, though, just because I don't use flash all that often and I don't find myself needing to change positions that often.- Second big difference is that there is no LCD screen and there is just a +/- button system on the back making your flash more or less powerful. In some ways, a lot easier to understand than the 430 EX II. Slave mode is easier to access.- Nice plus - the clip stand has a tripod screw mount in the bottom. I never noticed that on the 430 EX II.
