We've all seen the GoPRO cameras that let you take photos and videos on the go with all kinds of action shots. But you don't need to get the brand name because you can get all these options with the Akaso V50 Pro action camera.
ContentsUnboxingInaugural tripMedia downloadSettings and optionsPros and consLast wordI had the chance to use the Akaso camera, and I have to say I couldn't be happier with all the options. There are so many that if I covered them all, this review would be way too long and not delivered on time. But it certainly does the job of capturing photos and videos of all your fun.
On top of that, there's a waterproof case for the camera, a remote control on a wrist strap, other straps that include a buckle or Velcro, and zip ties. There are also two batteries, a battery charger and a charging cable. Although there is a very brief instruction booklet, there is a much more detailed user manual provided online in a PDF.
The only thing I needed to add to the action camera was an SD card. If you want to be able to save the videos and photos you take, you have to use an SD card, so I had to buy it separately.
The camera has a power/mode button and a shutter button on the top, ports on the side to connect it as well as an SD card slot and a large touch screen on the inside. 'back. Thanks to the touch screen, you can choose options through different menus.
For my maiden voyage, I decided to get a video of my walk with my dog. But with all the different ways to set up the camera on a helmet or handlebar, I had a hard time figuring out how to attach it to its collar.
I could probably take a trip to the hardware store and find something to do it more properly, but I found a way to get it up to his collar, but it wasn't very stable and wouldn't move.
I didn't use the remote control on the wristband but I should have. It would have made control so much easier. On another walk, I stuck the camera in a belt I wear when I walk that holds my phone and used the remote.
It worked fine, except it was sometimes hard to tell if it was working or not and if I was starting or stopping a video or it was taking the photo, as the auto shut off would break the connection I believe. Although there is a beep in the settings that you can enable for this purpose, it can be difficult to hear when you are in the elements.
The download process is very simple. It works with a free app and Wi-Fi. After downloading the app, turn on the camera, choose Wi-Fi in settings, then choose Akaso Wi-Fi on your device and enter the provided password in the user manual. I did this on my iPad, but it could just as easily be done on your phone.
After you launch the app under Wi-Fi and it connects, click on the camera option and you get a screen with all the videos and photos you have taken and stored on the SD card. You can watch them on your device or download them. Downloads can be stored directly on your device or in an in-app photo album.
Again, there are so many settings and options that it would be too difficult to cover them all here, but I'll give a very brief overview/mention.
When shooting video, you can set image stabilization, resolution, code, video length, time lapse interval and duration, acceleration, wind noise reduction, scene, timestamp, and automatic low-light adjustment.
Photo settings are basically the same, allowing you to set resolution, interval and duration, timestamp and scene, as well as photo burst, quality, long exposure, effect, filter, white balance, exposure value and ISO.
In general settings you can set sounds, distortion calibration, angle, power frequency, dive mode, date and time, screen saver, power off auto power on, auto video start, SC card language and format, and other features already used. mentioned.

The disadvantages
If you are looking for an action camera, something similar to a GoPRO, you will probably find what you are looking for with the Akaso V50 Pro action camera. I only wish I had done more interesting activities on the days I tested it rather than walking. However, it definitely got me excited and gave me lots of ideas for different activities where I could use it.
I give the Akaso V500 Pro Action Camera a 4 out of 5 star rating.
