Very good offer for sports and action camcorders

I've compared this to a GoPro Hero 6 at 4k 30fps and this device isn't great when it comes to image quality and image stabilization but it comes very close and at less than half the price it's a much better deal . . Since 4k 60fps has no image stabilization, I think this setting is only suitable when used on a tripod. I also have an Akaso V50 and the Elite's image stabilization is much better, as is the low light capture quality and sound. Scalability is also a nice improvement over the Elite. I also like the fact that the Elite uses the same battery as the V50. I used the Akaso V50 as a travel cam and dash cam, not as a traditional action cam. Using this camera on a tripod lets you capture videos that almost feel like you've stepped back in the moment when viewed on a virtual reality system (like the Oculus Rift). I used it to record a few locations on a trip to Italy and watching the video in VR really helps bring back memories. It's certainly not 3D, but it captures good wide-angle video. The Elite camera still has some of the issues that the V50 had, such as B. A file size limit of 4GB (approximately 8.5 minutes at 4K 30fps). This is probably done to make the files compatible with older FAT32 style drives. However, this is inconvenient if you want to record longer videos. Also, the battery only lasts 35 minutes when recording 4K 30FPS. The Elite has a cool distortion calibration feature that eliminates fisheye, but it doesn't work when shooting at 4K 60fps when image stabilization is on or when the date/time option is on, so it's rarely used. Because of the way I use the camera, I wish it had a lens cap so I could easily carry it in my bag without worrying about scratching the lens. I would also like to have a pause button on the camera itself that I could use while recording. Normally, I rarely use the remote control. While it's not perfect, I still think it deserves 4.5 stars for value for money as long as you have unlimited cash for a quality GoPro. I love the camera and will continue to use and recommend it.
