AKASO V50 X Action Camera with 64GB microSDXC Memory Card, Native 4K

I was going on quite a good holiday and was planning on doing lots of snorkelling so wanted to capture clear underwater footage. Was thinking of going with a popular brand like a Go Pro but couldn't really justify the price for potentially one holidays use, so bought this. Very pleased with the outcome and very clear underwater footage. I tested it in my pond before I went on holiday just to check footage. I never really used this camera out of water. Very pleased with outcome at a fraction of price of dearer brands. It depends on how much you are going to use it, as like I say it was for potentially one holiday so opted for the cheaper option, but very pleased.

Nifty little camera just setting up now easy to do planning to use on my upcoming holiday.

This is a great camera for the price, the picture quality is really good it is simple to use the only reason I have not given it 5 stars is the water proofing claims i think it claims it is waterproof up to 30m it is not , I took this scuba diving and if you plan to go deeper than 5m this camera will leak this was disappointing so if you are buying this camera just for scuba diving i would look at other alternatives.

The camera and attached kit is fabulous so many different gadgets to allow you to use the camera in different ways. It's easy to use and has a back screen to view. Fill clarity is up with other simular cameras but is a more affordable purchase and stands alongside other simular cameras. Underwater shots are great with various attachments to use while snorkeling. Two batteries give plenty of recording time. Definitely a great product with great responses from customer service.

Had the camera for a little while now and can offer a good review. Is easy to use and quite straightforward menu. Good quality for pictures and video, and you can change while under water from one mode to another. The SD card is good enough for around 3 hours of video or over 2000 pictures. One battery was enough for a day in my case with what I used camera for, but as you have a second battery included in the pack, if you need extra power, is very useful. Recharging the battery takes around two hours in the battery case. Unfortunately while I was in holiday one of the button stopped working properly (I think one of the spring inside broke), but when I got in touch with their costumer service they tried from the begining to understand the issue and to find the best way to resolve. In the end it had to be replaced with a new one which until now works properly. Overall for what would majority of people use the camera is a very good option, at a reasonable price and which provide a good quality to record memories.

So far it has been great. Bought for my wife for cycling. Fits in the helmet well. Lots of fittings for different helmets or handlebars. The instructions are just for one particular fitting but you can vary by using different sizes, heights of the one shown in the instructions. Great image quality. Still working out how to get a continuous playback but hey that’s half the fun in fiddling with it. There’s always someone somewhere with a YouTube video to help.

This certainly feels the part, the packaging is solid and premium, it comes with loads of extra mounts and a remote control, and the design of the unit itself is reassuringly solid.I primarily wanted this to record bike rides, as well as surfing and snorkelling adventures in summer time. I decided to try it out with a little test bike ride, and hit the first stumbling block: you’ll need a U3-class memory card, which I didn’t have. A trip to Argos later and I had the camera up and running.The next sticking point is the bike mount, which wouldn’t fit around my (fairly standard) handlebars. I prefer to bolt action cameras to my bike computer mount anyway, but it is disappointing that it doesn’t come with a better option in the box. I love the magnetic mounting option with the DJI Action 4, and it’s a shame this isn’t more readily available. I also get the feeling that Akaso has just bundled cheap accessories without giving much thought to how well they work.Instead, I mounted the camera on my helmet with one of the provided straps, which felt secure but looked completely dorky. I did a little test ride around the block and it stayed in place, although I couldn’t find a way to turn the light off, which made me look like some kind of blinking cycling Terminator.Back at home I took a look at the footage and it’s passable in daylight conditions. I had the image stabilisation turned on, which resulted in a robotic panning all over the place — I think I’ll turn this off next time. The image quality is nowhere near GoPro, and it looks suspiciously like upscaled 1080 rather than native 4K; it has that blotchiness in large areas of colour and smeariness around moving edges. But it is passable and, crucially for me, it shows number plates clearly.Low-light performance is something else, though; I ran it in my dimly lit kitchen and I could barely make anything out. I did find a low-light setting, but it didn't make a huge amount of difference. Definitely not one to count on for night rides!Overall, I’d rather spend a little more and get something that matches good looks and design with great performance.

Good for value

Very good camera, really impressed and easy to setup.
