Review on πŸ“· AKASO EK7000 4K30FPS Action Camera - Ultra HD & 170 Degree Wide Angle - 98FT Waterproof Underwater Camera by Paul Gravely

The camcorder is worth what I paid

I wasn't expecting much for the price. However, the camera takes decent videos. I only use 1080P 60FPS mode and while it doesn't compare to my video captured with my $400 Canon camcorder, it's not bad. I'd happily spend the extra $20 and buy a model with image stabilization, but it's too late. One of the issues I had was that the camera would turn off in auto power off mode and I couldn't turn it back on without removing and reinserting the battery. I disabled the auto battery/power saver feature in the menu and the issue was resolved. The camera has a short learning curve. I wanted a small, discreet camera that could be used openly and also mounted on my bike's handlebars, and it worked just as well as a DVR in my car. Chest the camera and walk around though, without image stabilization there's too much bouncing around. The tone is roughly honest, but it's okay for my purposes since I'm not interviewing anyone. As I said, if I had to do it again, I would buy a camera model with image stabilization. However, I'm happy with the purchase as I couldn't afford a Go-Pro. Decent resolution indoors only in daylight. Battery life is fine for me as I recorded 20 minutes of continuous video using either of the two batteries that came with it.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Functionality
