I was looking for an action camera to give me safety confidence while biking. After taking the camera out a few times, if I needed to report a vehicle license plate to the police I am sure it will be no problem in the future. The camera worked so well, my wife and I bought a second camera. Now we have a camera for the front and rear. This camera is an excellent value as we bought two cameras for less than the price of one top name brand.

Excellent value! Extremely impressed with image quality! Works great underwater, kids loved playing with it in the pool this summer. Attached to bike helmets and ski helmets with all the different attachments that were included and videos were very smooth with image stabilization turned on.

Got it to use as a webcam as I am working at home. The video is super crispy and controls are great. For this price, it works great.

Great price but there is several issues. After every recording that is longer than 30 minutes, it will always think the SD card needs to be formatted again. Every time. Support tried to help with older firmware, replacement camera, and gave me a new SD card to try. Kudos to them but this is a software issue. I see several reviews with the SAME problem. It is not limited to the two cameras I have tried. Fortunately, even though the camera thinks the SD card need to re-formatted, the recordings do finish and can be extracted to a PC via an SD card reader.The battery door cannot be opened when the camera is mounted. No big deal as I power the camera with an external battery anyway. Camera battery can charge in camera as well.Buy if you like the price and don't mind these issues. Even though I have spent way to much time troubleshooting, returning, replacing etc - it works for my application to record tennis matches.

I purchased this camera on the recommendation of several review sites that I researched for purchases that were less cost than a traditional GoPro branded camera. The V50X is a capable little camera. I used mostly the 1080/2K/4K video modes as we took it on a trip to the Southwest US. I attached it to a shoulder holster of my backpack for some great hiking video.It performs very well in good lighting and acceptable in low/dim light.The microphone is acceptable when recording audio within say, 6 feet of the camera, beyond that is very faint. This can be augmented with two things:1) the alternative back cover for the housing (however this negates the waterproof ability and and dust protect from the fully sealed back.2) the optional $10 microphone, but this however isn't able to be used in the housing at all, as the USB port is covered when in the housing.It does have an accessory mounting screw hole directly on the camera (see pictures) so you can attach it to accessories without it being in the housing, which is good because there is no alternate housing available, that i could find at least - as you can find for GoPro cameras.Just a couple things to keep in mind or that effected our use.1) There is no alternative housing that I could find. You must attach it to accessories via the on-board screw hole and leave it bare-naked. it is rubberized so it might withstand mist/dust, but without the waterproof housing it is in now way resistant to much else, especially drenching or submerging.2) It is very particular about SD cards. The FAQ states that it needs UHS-3 SD card of 64gb max size. But I found that I only had modest success with these requirements.I took 3 cards with me on the last trip (2 @ UHS3 and 1 USH1) all name brand Lexar, Samsung, Sandisk. I was faced with two problems, as might be expected the USH1 would only record at 4k for 15-30 seconds before giving me an error regarding speed. I could lower the bitrate to 1080@20fps and have more success.Most disappointing was the cards legitimately marked USH3 exhibited the same issue, although less often. I would often have to restart video recording because of hte "slow speed" error. And 2/5 times the recording could not be started again and i wouldn't be able to record until I tried a new card.What I ultimately had to resort to was brand new USH-3/A1/V30 and V90 cards. (see the SD Association's guide to video recording on SD - https://bit.ly/2KKAqQQ). What you really need are V30/60/90 rated cards (UHS3 as well). Once I replaced any of the cards I took with these, i have yet to have issues.My last and only true frustration: probably related and connected to the SD card performance, was when changing cards the camera always insisting on formatting the card for usage. I could have used that card for a short video earlier that day (aka...not using very much of the 64gb) and it would insist on formatting before it would let me record later on that day or if I changed the card. It meant that I had to be very attentive to saving off any video the preceding evening before wanting to use it the following day, making sure the cards were empty or able to be formatted for the following day.It seemed that if the SD card had any recordings already on it that it could not index or calculate how much space was remaining to be used and resorting to telling you to format. This messed up several mid-trail hikes footage.Once I replaced the cards with the V30 rated cards, I have not noticed this behavior again.I can recommend this camera as an effective, budget conscious, quality alternative to more higher cost "name branded" action cameras. In my opinion it is a perfect option for those on a budget yet still have 4K video performance needs.An Excellent value for the cost.

I like it a lot, bang for the buck. Only problem is the case when mounted on windshield I cant 360 the screen or the case should be able to rotate to acomodate 360 rotation

I bought this product because the price seemed much more affordable than similar products of well known brands. I'm a novice photographer, and started recently traveling more, so I needed a camera that would be resistant and waterproof.This Akaso camera did not disappoint. It's a great product came just as described, the battery holds the charge amazingly well, was able to use the camera for almost three full days on/off without needing to charge. The quality of the pictures is more than great for the price, the video and sound is good too, but for better sound definitely use a microphone. The zoom capabilities are also good for this product. I'm overall very happy with the purchase, and definitely recommend this product, specially as a start up sports camera. I wish there was instructions on the way to use the accessories that came with it. Also recommend using a case or a cover to protect the waterproof case against scratches when storing it.
