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 have an Akaso, i think it is the model you have listed. It is a good choice, full potato on still pics. there is good contrast between both pixels. You would be better with crayons and a sketch pad back on the beach.
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.
