    AKASO brave 8 action camera and its unusable Remote control
    I bought the AKASO brave 8 action camera from amazon 2 days ago. So far I have noticed the batteries last not very long at all. So you need to buy good few more of spare batteries. The other issue I have noticed is that it has a very nice looking remote control, but I have not been able to check it yet as unfortunately as you can see in the pictures I have added, that its charging slot is micro USB, which is a very old type of USB and although the camera came with a lot of accessories, but there is no micro USB connector/adapter in it and at first I thought it must have been a simple mistake and they had put an old version of the remote in the box. So I contacted AKASO directly and to my surprise they replied to me: "We regret that the camera does not include the cable for charging the remote control, we will consider adding it in the future. You can charge the remote with a USB adapter. It needs a micro USB cable to charge." Very disappointing, putting so many (possible unnecessary) items in the box but not thinking through to add a must charger cable in.

      Bought this to fit to my cycle helmet after one too many near misses. For the price I wasn't expecting a top of the range camera, and to be honest it isn't. However, for the purposes of recording my journey to and from work every day it fits the bill perfectly. After using it for a week I'm more than happy with the footage taken during in daylight, and pleasantly surprised at the quality of recordings taken at night too. Okay, so if you cycle down a near pitch black cycle path you won't record much, but down well-lit streets or on the road it was more than adequate. The camera itself is lightweight, but can look a little bulky when attached to a helmet and inside it's waterproof casing. On the plus side I've already had car drivers who appeared to be about to jump red lights suddenly slow and stop when they spot the camera on my helmet. Operation is simple and straightforward, which is handy as the instructions, while basic, are printed so small that you might struggle to actually be able to read them. Coming with a mass of attachments it would have been nice to have had better instructions as to what each one could be used for. Thankfully Google came to the rescue on that front. The only real downside to this camera, in my opinion, is the battery life. So far I've been lucky to get just over an hour's use out of each battery before they need recharging. Maybe this is why you're given two though? Final thoughts then. For the price, this does exactly what I want, at a quality I'm happy with. If you want a cheap, cheerful camera that won't break the bank, and you won't be too upset about breaking if the action becomes too rough, then give this one a go.

      Great camera, well made and with easy to use features. I bought this for a motorcycle road trip later this summer so have yet to use it in anger but nothing I have seen so far makes me think it won’t perform admirably.
      Setting it up was a breeze and using the on screen menus is a piece of cake. The remote is a doddle too. It was all ready to use in minutes.

      The unit looks good and the build quality acceptable, the menus are ok once you have “fiddled for a while “. The unit takes an eternity to download and convert 4k to phone and great for keeping you warm in winter because the unit gets extremely hot, worryingly hot. and eats the battery whilst downloading. Don’t expect to down load more than 3 or 4, 3 minute videos as the battery will be flat you have to start again . I have not found a way to get it to do a longer recording, they seem all to be 3 minutes long, the file structure is awful, trying to find which video is which is nearly impossible.
      There seems to be no waterproof case available to purchase to fully encapsulate the device when in the water, if you want to go deeper, the £50 cameras have one included from other manufactures?????but do not fit this.
      When in the water the water tends to affect the touch screen change the settings on the device, many times during our holiday my wife went snorkelling with the camera only to find when she got back settings had changed and she recorded nothing, only way we found to use was to turn on the small screen on front of camera, but then you cannot compose your shot on main screen. If we had not been on holiday when the return time was still available, this would have gone back without hesitation. Be wary what you want this for before you buy, we got stung with a camera not fit for purpose. Has been n drawer since not even managed to download the videos we did manage to take. Basically ruinös an expensive holidays as we cannot see our videos. Disappointed and angry to be honest.

      After reading many of the reviews and knowing I couldn't justify a Go-Pro I thought I'd give this a whirl. After all it isn't prohibitively expense! It arrived when expected and the packaging was very robust; professional looking and held all the parts securely.
      This is my first foray into action video cameras as I've recently started doing DH biking again. Once it was unpacked I was impressed with the quality and the additional mounting accessories it came with, which for a cheap camera is a huge bonus and allows you to mount t pretty much any where you want without having to spend more money.
      I set up the camera, which was pretty easy and also the wifi connection so I could control it with my phone (iPhone 6S plus) the app and wifi functionality work as expected; so far so good.
      I then put a mount on my freeride bikes handlebars and one on my helmet - I haven't used this one yet so cannot comment on how secure the sticky pad holding it on is.
      I get to the start of the DH run and turn the camera on and start riding. It was hellishly bumpy with drops jumps and big rocks but apart from horrific wind noise it recorded everything including my crash which didn't damage the camera. The mounting was secure and the picture was more than acceptable. The only downside was the sound. I wonder if the proximity to a massive DH tyre and the track itself contributed so I'm going to try the helmet mount next time I go.
      I've used it several times now and it works exactly as you expect. It definitely isn't a Go-Pro and is quite basic compared to their offerings but it's about a tenth of the price so as long as you're okay with that and accepting of the limitations it is a more than capable little camera. I'm actually thinking of getting a couple more so I can record multiple angles to edit into one and also to help me study my form on the bike and see where I need to improve my riding. Happily recommended.

      Inizio a dire che questa piccola fotocamera mi ha davvero stupito in quanto la sua consegna è stata una vera e propria odissea, ma ne parlerò dopo di questa cosa, in modo che anche le altre persone che hanno acquistato beni di valore non incorrano nuovamente nella situazione in cui mi sono trovato per riavere questo oggetto.

      I pregi di questa macchina sono quelli che il prezzo consente, e per il prezzo pagato sono molto soddisfatto, produco video didattici e la mia risoluzione ideale è 1080X60, quindi per il lavoro che devo fare questa macchina va più che bene.
      Infatti tutti consigliano di comprare delle Go Pro, ma un'altra esperienza negativa mi ha fatto desistere dallo spendere una cifra per qualcosa che poi non avrei mai usato come ho usato invece negli anni le fotocamere Akaso.

      un comando utile è il blocco dello schermo che impedisce configurazioni accidentali, per toglierlo basta scorrere il lucchetto verso l'alto.

      Configurate il salvaschermo, è utile al mantenimento delle batterie, consiglio sempre di averne almeno altre due di scorta.

      Le impostazioni sono semplici e intuitive, e comprendono tutte le impostazioni per ogni scelta da parte dell'utente.

      La confezione è dotata di molti tipi di attacchi, che sono davvero utili per ogni situazione di ripresa.

      Il test di durata delle batterie:

      Dopo avere caricato e scaricato per due volte le batterie originali inserite nella confezione, ho fatto il test di durata per capire come e per quanto tempo avrei potuto usare la fotocamera.

      Il test è stato svolto con impostazione della fotocamera sempre accesa, salvaschermo a 15 secondi e risoluzione video 1080X60 con fattore di nitidezza a 6.

      Con questi parametri, la telecamera è rimasta accesa per un'ora e 10 minuti, mentre nel frattempo ho registrato sette(7) video alla risoluzione di 1080X60 arrivando a 20 minuti di registrazione prima che la fotocamera segnali la batteria al 19% e richieda all'utente di spegnersi.

      Questo test, è servito a comprendere bene quanto tempo ho a disposizione per produrre video mantenendo la fotocamera sempre accesa, infatti ho tolto subito l'auto-spegnimento perchè devo avere sempre la fotocamera pronta all'uso.

      ++++++++++++++++++++++++
      I difetti di questa nuova versione sono che lo sportello per la scheda SD e il cavo dati/alimentazione non si può aprire come nella versione 7 anche con il supporto montato, è necessario quindi estrarre la camera dal guscio di supporto e poi aprire lo sportello per collegare il cavo dati.
      Devo dire che questa procedura è un pochino macchinosa, ma ho visto che lo sportello ha un' altro profilo e che quindi forse non era possibile tagliare di più il guscio di supporto.

      un ulteriore difetto è che la fotocamera può essere ricaricata con il cavo da un pacco batterie solo estraendola dal guscio e molte volte non è possibile farlo come accadeva per la versione 7 in cui si apre lo sportello mentre la fotocamera è montata e si ricarica la batteria al volo senza dover smontare tutto come per la versione 8 di Akaso.
      ++++++++++++++++++++++++

      Mi ritengo in ogni caso estremamente soddisfatto di questa nuova camera, anche perché la sua consegna ha subito diverse vicissitudini dovute alla negligenza del corriere che ha messo in consegna questo oggetto senza ricevere da parte mia il codice di sicurezza inviato da Amazon.
      La camera è stata riportata al mio indirizzo da una persona onesta che ha trovato il pacco sul ciglio della strada a circa un chilometro dalla mia abitazione, lo ha raccolto e gentilmente restituito.

      In questo caso Amazon non risarcisce l'utente proprio perché il pacco risultava consegnato all'indirizzo specificato, il problema è stato che io non ero presente alla consegna, per cui non ho potuto fornire il codice di sicurezza per ritirare la merce, ma in qualche modo il corriere ha potuto sorpassare la procedura del codice di sicurezza di Amazon, mettere il pacco come "consegnato all'indirizzo di riferimento" e poi la merce è scomparsa, per fortuna esistono ancora delle persone oneste e grazie a questa persona, ho potuto riavere la fotocamera.

      In questa incredibile vicenda devo dire che anche se il pacco ha subito dei danni come vi mostro nelle foto, la camera non sembra averne risentito molto anche se è stata schiacciata un po sopra l'obiettivo, l'involucro della Akaso ha protetto bene la fotocamera, mentre gli accessori anche quelli schiacciati, hanno resistito molto bene agli impatti subiti.

      Se vi capita che un corriere non rispetti la politica dei codici di sicurezza, avvertite subito il servizio clienti di Amazon, perché questa è una grossa falla nel sistema di sicurezza delle consegne, infatti se un corriere può mettere la merce come "già consegnata", Amazon non risarcirà l'utente e di conseguenza come nel mio caso, la merce finirà da altre parti.

      La violazione di questa procedura di sicurezza da parte dei corrieri, rende il sistema di consegna tramite codice e-mail fornito da Amazon una grave insicurezza per l'utente finale che poi perde fiducia negli acquisti e abbandona la piattaforma.

      Ringrazio il servizio clienti di Amazon per il supporto offerto e ringrazio Akaso per i materiali costruttivi usati sia per l'involucro esterno sia per la fotocamera ben costruita che ha superato tutti gli impatti dovuti a questo particolare caso di negligenza da parte del corriere durante la consegna finale.

      Habe mir die Kamera vor meinen Ägyptenurlaub gekauft, um beim schnorcheln und tauchen die Unterwasserwelt im Roten Meer zu filmen und Foto's zu machen.
      Das Ergebniss ist beeindruckend schön geworden.
      Auch bei Flugzeugaufnahmen aus dem Fenster heraus war alles Qualiativ gut, obwohl ich nicht die höchste Aufnahmeeinstellung hatte.

      J'ai récemment acquis une GoPro et je suis complètement ravi de ses performances ! La qualité d'image est incroyable, même dans des conditions de faible luminosité. Elle est très robuste et étanche, parfaite pour mes aventures en plein air, que ce soit en randonnée, en plongée ou même lors de mes sessions de vélo.

      Les options de montage sont infinies grâce aux nombreux accessoires disponibles, et l'interface utilisateur est intuitive, ce qui facilite la prise en main. J'adore également les fonctionnalités comme le mode ralenti et le timelapse, qui ajoutent une touche professionnelle à mes vidéos.

      En résumé, la GoPro a vraiment dépassé mes attentes et est devenue un incontournable pour capturer tous mes moments d'aventure. Je la recommande à tous ceux qui aiment la vidéo et la photographie !
