AKASO - AKASO EK7000

I also use the same camera. I get between about 1-1 hour and 20 minutes per battery. It came with two. Make sure you charge them before first use The camera came with a handle bar mount and a steel cable with zip ties to secure it to the bar if the mount breaks.

I have the same model. It's good *for the price*. The image quality is great, but I have a lot of quibbles. * There is no way to tell if it's recording or not without taking off your helmet, because the speaker is so quiet that you can't hear it unless you're in a silent room. There isn't even a mode to start recording when powered on, so you really have to look at the screen to know what's happening. * The microphone sucks (quite normal, my Ghost Drift XL had this problem too) * The camera often won't charge through micro USB, so you have to remove the battery and use the little desk charger. One more piece of clutter on my desk. * The battery life is about 2 hours. The batteries are cheap but I'd rather have a bigger camera that I don't have to charge every day. Good things: * Compatible with gopro mounts. * Great daytime image quality, good enough at night * So cheap * There is a noticeable change in driver behaviour when I have the camera sticking out of my head. (My ghost drift XL was more subtle and didn't do this) I would absolutely recommend it as a first camera, but I'd get 2-3 batteries and swap them out every day.

Akaso EK7000 is my daily use camera, because it captures pretty good video and they're cheap so if I lose it, no big deal.

Chin mount, I can count on 45 minutes per battery (I use it as a dashcam so that's good enough for my commute, and I carry spares, they're tiny.) Most action cams have awful battery life, 2 hours would be incredible for an action cam.

I use an akaso ek7000 as my daily "dash cam" because they're cheap and it wouldn't break my heart if it fell off my helmet. Insta Ace Pro 2 for recording things I actually care about the quality of. I do a little moto vlogging as a creative outlet, don't care if anyone watches anything I make but I do want to make it as well as I can, so when it's intentional I use the good camera, but the cheap one is on my helmet 90%+ of the time.

Depends on why you want it. For vlogging, the ace pro is a great camera. If you want it as a dashcam, I personally wouldn't want an expensive camera on my helmet all the time, so I use a cheap Akaso for that and switch to the insta when I actually care about my footage.

I have an Akaso EK7000 I got for like 40 quid - thought it would be rubbish but it's actually pretty good and has always picked up number plates etc when needed. Depends where you live as to whether the Police care - in Warwickshire they're pretty good - respond to every submission and I'd say they're generally pretty fair in outcomes (either warning letter or NIP). West mids Police I never heard anything back even when I submitted outright dangerous driving. Even if they don't really care I think it's worth submitting particularly troublesome areas so theres a record of the issue.

Amazon special… Akaso EK7000 with waterproof case and suction cup mount kit. Less than $100.

I’m Dad, my son (14) is the goalie, so usually I have it on the other side of the glass. But, the few times we’ve put it on the inside it’s held up well (I have to pry it off the glass normally). That said, one of my screws in the neck of the setup was loose once and a shot did knock it off angle and we have 20 mins of waist up only footage!

I've got an akaso ek7000 on my helmet (£45+20 for chin mount) and I also have a hardwired front and rear dash cam (£50 can't remember the brand). Both seem to be doing a good job and I think it's the only way to be fully covered these days.

I fly with akaso 4k, if you get the settings right it's really not terrible... its the only camera I've used on my drones so I don't have much to compare against.

Anything off Amazon will do, the EK.... Cameras are pretty cheap and cheerful, and anything of 1080p or more will be good enough for police reports. Just don't expect to pick up any numberplates in anything but perfect conditions with a cheap camera, the expensive action cameras really do come into their own in low-light. Try to get one with the date time displayed and makesure it's set correctly, and loop recording is a godsend if you're just using it on the off chance rather than how I use it, to record every traffic offence that happens around me.

That's funny, I can do loop recording on at least 2 of my action cameras, and with a pass-through door to the charging port I can make my action camera run for at least 24hrs uninterrupted - [Hidden Road Gem: Use Insta360 Ace Pro 2 as Your Car Dashcam](https://www.insta360.com/blog/tips/insta360-ace-pro-as-dash-cam-tutorial.html) (The EK7000 supports loop recording too, just google the manual). My GoPro batteries, when I had one, used to last just over an hour (I used to miss the last 300m to work if I wasn't pedaling hard). My Insta360 Ace Pro & Ace Pro 2 batteries (aftermarket versions) last about an hour and a half.

Hey, just wanted to share this with the community. It’s a new set up I’m playing with by mounting an off brand 4k action cam to my stream light. Decided to not use my GoPro or my Osmo and instead get one of those 60 buck akasotech EK7000’s as a “disposable” go pro. Has some built in image stabilization, mic, 4k30fps at 170º and is complete peace of mind in case I break or burn it. Comes with the mount hardware and the waterproof case. I have it tilted on purpose a little left as the stream light likes to point off center to the right. Mount is by OldLineLeather.com. Really happy with the mount and takes only a couple minutes to install to the back of the stream light. The day I mounted it, we got a first due working basement fire with entrapment. Found the victim and dragged her out with another member. I only say all of that to say it would have made a great video had I not remembered to turn the camera on after the rescue! HA! The point being, the only thing worse than not having a camera on you is forgetting to hit record.
