AKASO - AKASO V50 Pro Action Camera

Hello, I know im a bit late, but The Akaso v50 Pro is a good one for the price, The video quality is pretty good and it has a good battery life, i have both the akaso v50 pro and gopro hero 10 and while not as good as the gopro it comes quite close for the price.

If you want something small with solid battery life, an action camera is a good direction, but GoPro generally holds up better in real use than the cheaper brands. The Akaso V50 Pro works, but its battery life and durability can be hit or miss. No matter which one you pick, grabbing an extra battery or a tiny power bank will make your life easier, because even the best compact cameras don't run very long on a single charge.

I got the Akaso V50 for my first snorkelling trip last year - you can see an example video [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/snorkeling/comments/1k93cp6/snorkelling_at_maldives/). It was sub £100 brand new so pretty cheap, and I was very pleased with it. However my wife wanted to join in so I bought a more expensive camera for this year's trip, the DJI Action 6 this year - video [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/snorkeling/comments/1qunerk/early_morning_maldives_snorkel/). The difference was really very noticeable looking at our raw footage - the Akaso video always had a greenish tinge whereas on the Action 6 the light came through much better. But, until I'd tried the Action 6 I was perfectly happy with the Akaso!

I bought an AKASO thinking it’d be good as a cheaper alternative to a GoPro. I haven’t found an app like TrackAddict, etc. that pairs with it, so I’m forced to record and sync video and data manually by bringing both files into RaceRender separately. I would’ve gotten a GoPro had I known this beforehand which would make video/data syncing sooo much easier.

I record data via TrackAddict. What data are you talking about? My AKASO doesn’t connect to TrackAddict so I need to start data via TrackAddict first, then start video on my AKASO separately

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 and pulling the video and data separately is a pain, but they sync up automatically. Data starts when the video starts.

One cent under $70 and you can get it by tomorrow. Quality is likely shit and 90% of the reviews are fake. I rented a Hero 7 back in 2019 for a trip. Came home and bought an Akaso, had I not had the experience with GoPro I would have probably kept it. Comparing the two it was night and day. It may work for your use case, if not you can just return it. https://preview.redd.it/zpf8gv6acmbg1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa81856dd3fce5483398c88649b504666a1317d5

Don't buy the akaso, underwater pictures are insanely green to a point where you can't fix it. Osmo is way better, have the 5pro and it's insane

I had an Akaso. It was fairly good as a whole and I was happy. When that died, I splurged on a Gopro. I was amazed at the difference. The Gopro was just so much more crisp, but until I had the 2 direct comparisons, I was happy with what I got with the Akaso. You get what you pay for.

I bought an inexpensive Akaso camera to use as a dashcam. While the video isn't GoPro quality, it's decent. The batteries last about an hour and spares only cost $4 each on Amazon.
