Great and convenient little camera, wish the micro
My wife and I are really impressed with the picture and video quality. For us the ability to speak through the device is really important... That's the weakest point of this camera. The audio comes out unclear and garbled.

Great Camera at a great price
PositivesMy first camera of it's kind. Well made and easy to use. Great price. I still haven't used all the features yet and am still learning. It's a cool companion to my SLR camera.NegativesMicrophone is not that great and needs a limiter. I tried to record a band and the audio was a disaster.I was disapointed that among all the accessories there was nothing to attach it to my car's dash or to my shirt. Those were the two things I bought it for!OverallA really nice buy!!!!

Amazing customer support
When I first received this camera I was really disappointed with the sound recording volume and quality. After clicking on the get product support and getting no solution I was about ready to give up. I finally decided to try support@cooau.net. They were very patient with my frustration and finally offered to send me a new camera. I received it today and was astounded by the audio volume and quality but I was even more surprised at the video quality of the new camera. Great customer support and service from COOAU!

Just received but looks like it's right for us.
Just received our Akaso Brave 7, so far it's exactly what we were looking for. We were looking for something to take on our travel adventures- planning to do some snorkeling and sightseeing, really didn't need to spend the top $$ . After checking several videos- the Brave 7 (with the updated audio) seemed to be the one for us. This model does seem to have the updated audio- sound was great. We were able to connect to the wifi & update the firmware on our own. Will say it's a little challenge to find the Asako Go app for Android- the one in Google Store is called Akaso DV- not sure it's the same but downloaded the Akaso Go from their website and it's working. Only have had it for a day- so will update after we've used it for a few weeks.

Conference speaker that just works
It is easy to connect to BlueTooth. Range was about 12ft and audio quality for zoom has been excellent. I could not use camera mics because of the distance, and this was a perfect replacement. Definitely worth the money.

A lot is good, but disappointing battery life, rec
I bought the 360 and 4K camera option.There are lots of reviews about so I'll limit my opinions to some more obscure points. This is a great action camera. Quality is great, even just leaving it in its default settings. The app is great for setting up, taking the shot and plenty of inbuilt effects and editing. You can view results even without downloading them from the camera.360 pictures look good without ever having to worry about the front-back seam (unless objects are with a meter of the camera). Great for getting a large number of venue 3D shots - place the camera, move out of shot, hit the button on phone to take a photo (or use the timer) and repeat. You won't want to zoom them too much but no reasonably priced 360 camera lets you do that well.Whilst you can do a lot with the camera's touch screen it is awkward to use. You'll want to use your phone/tablet to control it. Whilst connected to the camera, your phone/tablet will lose wifi connection to your router. The app does its best to make this straightforward, but it is still clunky.A big disappointment for me is the limit on recording length (30mins). You can't use this to record continuously regardless of the size of the SD card you put in it or the quality. After 30 mins it will resume recording after a short 1-2 minute break whilst it "finalises" the previous recording. However, you can do time-lapse.Battery life is quite short, after an hour or two, you will be looking to recharge it. The camera is not recommended to be used whilst it is charging (apparently a risk of overheating). Sad given the short battery life. However, you can power it via the USB-C port without the battery.Audio is at best adequate. You can get an adaptor for an external mic which works well but is expensive for what it is. This prevents you from powering it via the USB-C port. For best quality, you'll probably want to record audio separately and overlay it with a video editor later.A small annoyance is the camera case for mounting on a tripod. You are constantly taking it in and out of the case to change the cameras. A simple screw thread on the bottom of the battery would have sorted all that.

If you’re still shopping around...you can stop her
This small baby...omgeeee! Easy to install...just plug and play....great picture/video quality...great audio quality! Perfect for my old work computer that isn’t equipped with a camera. And due to all these virtual meetings because of COVID-19, you cannot live without having a camera. If you’re shopping around for one, I promise...stop looking...you won’t be disappointed. I’ve already shared this with several co-workers and they’ve purchased and have been pleased!

Decent value
For the price, audio and video quality are good enough. The color fidelity is pretty weak: it’s yellowish, compared to my MacBook Pro’s camera. Too bad there’s no Logitech software to adjust that.
