We got this camera for one of our kids for Christmas, so he could take some "action videos". We were looking for something like a GoPro but weren't willing to spend hundreds of dollars for him to run around and possibly lose or break an expensive camera. Since it is his first exploits in this, we were willing to take less features and lower picture quality.However, what we got was an amazing camera for very little money that offers a really good picture quality (in 4k as well!), features like time-lapse, slow motion, the ability to adjust exposure and ISO and many more things. On top of that, the camera comes with lots of extras like different mounts, a spare battery with external charger and obviously the protective case. We have used it to take bike riding and underwater videos and many other things. We are really pleasantly surprised by the value of this little camera.The extra battery with separate charger is priceless, since you can swap batteries and keep charging your spare. The little charger can charge two batteries at the same time. The battery life itself could be better, but since you have the spare and charger, it more than makes up for it.While the GoPro's are still the high standard, these little Akaso's are a great alternative that does not break the bank - especially if you are just getting into action cams.
