AKASO EK7000 Pro 4K Action Camera - Touch Screen EIS Adjustable View Angle 40m Waterproof Underwater Camera Remote Control Helmet Camera with Accessories KitGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

I've bought three of these and have had to return one because it was faulty. I start with this comment, to let you know if the sound and video quality aren't good, then you should return the camera, because when they are working correctly, this little action camera is very good indeed.The EK7000 Pro seems to have gone through a slight design update, as some have the awkward little panel on the bottom that you have to pick open with your fingernail to access the battery, much the same as the standard EK7000, while others have a much nicer sliding panel which you slide sideways until it springs open to reveal the battery and then remains attached to the camera body. Much better! In addition to that revision, the sliding panel EK7000 Pro cameras have a tripod thread on the underside, while others don't. It's not a big issue, as the kit comes with a tripod mount cage for the camera, but it's a nice addition to keep your set-up as small as possible.If you're on a really tight budget, the standard EK7000 is a great buy, but if you can stretch to the EK7000 Pro, you get a touchscreen, electronic image stabilisation, the ability to change the field of view in camera (okay it's by cropping, but it does mean you don't have to do it later). You can take 20MP pictures with the EK7000 Pro where you're limited to lower res still images with the EK7000. IMO, the touchscreen makes the Pro worth the extra money in itself. (You MAY also get the better battery cover and tripod socket, depending on which revision of the EK7000 Pro you get, but don't count on it.)Power-up is quick, the camera checks the memory card is okay prior to being ready for operation, and then it's ready for you to hit record to start recording. One downside for me is that this camera only records in .MOV video format. I prefer MP4 for convenience and compatibility, but it's not a deal-breaker.The camera itself has a soft-touch finish which means it doesn't easily slip out of your hand, and the accessories are all good quality and there's a big selection of them so you have a way to attach the Akaso EK7000 Pro to just about anything. One notable omission is that of a sucker-mount for glass and other smooth surfaces. Adhesive mounts are provided, but for using this camera in and on vehicle windows, you might want to get a decent sucker mount.Battery life is excellent. After 1 hour 12 min continuous recording, the battery life was still indicating 2 bars, which is way better than I expected. Talking of continuous recording, the largest file the Akaso EK7000 Pro will record to is a file of about 4GB, which works out at about 21 minutes' recording. After that it starts recording to a new file. It will record in shorter recording durations if you wish in "loop recording" mode. This allows you to record in 1, 3 or 5 minute video files, which will continue to be saved to the memory card until the card is full, at which point the video writing "loops" around and starts over-writing previously recorded video, starting from the oldest file onwards. It's much the same as a car dash camera.I can't fault the Akaso EK7000 Pro. I didn't have very high expectations of the camera, as I've had budget GoPro clones in the past, and some have been okay for limited use, others have given terrible video quality, though Akaso came highly recommended. Not only did the Akaso EK7000 Pro not disappoint, but it far exceeded my expectations and is an absolute bargain budget action camera. Clearly there are some quality control issues, as I had to return one faulty camera , but I immediately ordered another Akaso EK7000 Pro to replace it, such is my appreciation of the camera. If you're buying one to take some important footage, make sure you test the camera is working perfectly prior to the big event.Sound and video quality are more than acceptable at this price point (I also have a Panasonic GH5M2, so I know what great 4K video looks like) and battery life is exceptional. All in all, highly recommended at this price point!

Easy to set up . Brought to record horse rides .Loads of different attachments . Pleased with purchase and looking forward to using it .

“No Pro“To be fair, this isn’t a bad little camera. It comes packed with a decent array of features and accessories, which initially caught my attention—especially considering the price point. However, if you can stretch your budget just a little further, I’d highly recommend going for the Pro version.The standard model lacks some key upgrades, like image stabilization and a touch screen—both of which make a big difference in usability and video quality. Also worth noting: while it’s advertised as 4K, it’s actually interpolated 4K, meaning the footage is upscaled from a lower resolution. So don’t expect true native 4K clarity.The companion app, unfortunately, leaves a lot to be desired. It frequently drops the connection, which makes reviewing or editing your footage a frustrating experience.That said, if you’re on a tight budget like I am, this is still a solid option for casual use or as a starter camera—just manage your expectations. It’s not GoPro-level, but it gets the job done (mostly).

Looks well made and plenty of accessories

Really pleased with this camera highly recommend this is by far the best underwater camera we have had and got some amazing underwater photo's and video's. If your thinking of buying one don't hesitate you wont be disappointed!

Amazing I really enjoyed and recommended

The media could not be loaded. So hopefully without sending any reader to sleep, boy do you get a lot for your money, various mounts including things like a handlebar type mount, belt clip (as I call it) and tripod fixing to name but a few. On top of all of this the camera itself is tiny in size but not in capabilities, various video & image formats, special effects, sepia, negative etc are available amongst others. The touch screen is full of information so you have everything you need to know right in front of you and it's well placed & simple to understand. Now on to the app, it's better than I expected, has been well thought out and designed, and again like the screen, it displays lots and lots of info and control, but what I wasn't expecting is a real time view of what the camera sees whilst it is recording including being able to change various recording modes from the iPhone screen and when holding the phone in landscape mode you are provided with a full screen view but still have camera info and controls. Just to explain my final two images, a lot of users suggest for faster transfer it is suggested that the memory card is removed from the camera and placed in a card reader, but i have found that with an iPhone and a USB C to USB C cable I can plug the camera directly into my iPhone letting me view and transfer files super quickly. Now finally for anyone still reading, my comment in my title on the company support stems from at least two if not more things, the first is how quickly the support team responded when I asked for advice, but not only how quick they responded, but that that initial response also included the advice I needed. And secondly, there are lots of Facebook groups out there created and run by users only that are listed as being unofficial, whereas Akaso have not only created the Facebook group but are fully involved in the site, which I think is going above & beyond. At the end of the images is a very short time laps taken with the EK7000 Pro and i have to say it was very very easy.

I never EVER want to be a moaner. But I cannot believe that a small camera should be this complicated to set up. My son ( Technically educated ) tried for over 6 hours to get this to link up. Our WiFi is probably the best in the country UK. It will not connect us.Its a problem with this camera without doubt. Therefore ist being sent straight back, and now will never try a cheap camera again. GO PRO all the way from now on. Buy at your own risk.
