AKASO V50 X Action Camera, Native 4K Wifi Underwater 40M EIS Anti-Shake Cam with Touch Screen, Remote Control, Waterproof Case and Mounting Accessories Kit

Has lots of features but is quite easy to use. The menu is much easier to get around than I have been used to and have had a few action cams at lower price end of the market. [ bought mine for £80] Has image stabilisation which is excellent and you can choose to record in 4K which is the best choice although 1080p is acceptable. In 4K it will use up resources quicker so you will need the max sd card of 64gb [ bought the Akaso one off here] Sound is poor. Supplied with loads of accessories including a waterproof case for underwater or heavy rain use. The sticky pads supplied are useless and so I bought some 3M ones on Amazon for a fiver.You may not be able to play 4K back in acceptable quality on your laptop or PC so I got the free open source VLC player installed on my laptop which can play 4K. The 2 battery separate charger is excellent, so you can take a spare battery with you. At time of writing you could also buy separately from Akaso another charger with 2 batteries for £20. I have used action cameras on a bike before but this time used on a mobility scooter. Altogether totally reccomend this action camera

I have been using an old G*Pr* (model 3) on my bike for ages and was about to upgrade to the recent model (£400-£500).One of the reasons I had hesitated is that the Gpr doesn’t date stamp recordings, or offer the kind of ‘loop recording’ where new recordings overwrite the oldest on the memory card once it fills up. More like a dashcam.The Akazo has these features & more. Image quality is great for me, stabilisation too.It ships with a charger and TWO batteries and more mounts, clamps and bits/bats than I would ever need.Once registered they send you a choice of freebie so I got a second case and now have a mount & case on the handlebars of each of my 2 bikes and just slot the camera in to the one I choose to ride.I have been really impressed with this camera, and saved £££’s.Cons?The only thing which I could mention is that copying movies off the camera to phone via the wifi takes a while - they are big files, but as an example a 3 min movie takes 3 min to copy.So I tend to take out the card & put into the card reader on my computer.

This was purchased to go in my daughter's National Ministox race car to help with improving consistency, lap times etc, but as it's a contact sport didn't want to go all out on a GoPro.Really glad I didn't, as this little device is equally as good.One of the helmet mounts was cable tied to the side of the head restraint on her seat, giving an almost drivers view, so a good overview of what she was doing.After her first meeting the footage was downloaded to the computer and watched back enabling us to see what she was doing right, and what she was doing wrong. Exactly what was hoped for, and a great learning tool.Considering Ministox is a contact sport, and in the case of the first race a not quite smooth shale track, the image stabilization worked perfectly, the quality was great, and it survived. The remote control made switching it on and off easy from the outside of the car too.The only downside was the sound quality, but to be fair, it's a noisy environment, and the camera was inside it's waterproof case too, so no surprise it wasn't cinema quality!After a full meeting the battery was still going too, although you do get two anyway.To sum up, a cracking little camera. Highly recommended for the price.

The camera kit comes with loads of different attachments for several situations including underwater use. The instructions are concise but clear. The video quality is great but a battery charge lasts about 70 mins so you have to remember to change it. It comes with 2 batteries and a charging unit so expect to get about 2+ hrs of video footage from them.Unfortunately, the remote control unit with my camera arrived faulty and the options were to return the whole kit or accept a sum of money to buy a remote of EBay.The remote would be handy for photos but not so mush for video.Overall, it’s a great camera and cheaper than a GoPro so a good alternative. Mine is mounted to my cycle and captures good footage.Not a bad camera at all for the price.
