AKASO Brave 6 4K 20MP WiFi Action Camera Voice Control EIS Web Camera 100 feet Underwater Waterproof Camera Remote Control 6X Zoom Underwater Camcorde

As someone who is new into the league of action cameras, i couldn't have asked for more.Firstly, the quality of the camera when compared to other action cameras available in the market is on a different level.Cost wise, i couldn't have asked for anything better. Well within the budget.With all the accessories provided, its a really good deal.Looking forward to future adventures with this camera.

I’m not an avid adventurer but I do like to take short videos and pictures of a lot of the outdoor activities I participate in. I’ve been looking at action cameras for some time and have been turned off by the price. I really like the GO Pro Hero 5 but just couldn’t justify the cost for what I would use it for.So, I started looking at the lower cost devices on Amazon and other various sources and I came across the Akaso Brave 6. It seemed to have some very good reviews, so I figured I’d give it a try. I’m glad I did. It's about half the cost of a Go Pro but comes loaded with extras that you end up paying more for with a Go Pro.Overall build quality seems very good. The camera is a bit light weight, but in the case, it has a solid feel to it. The quality of the multitude of accessories seems good as well and they feel durable enough for what I will be using them for.Set-up was easy. I charged both batteries with the included two slot battery charger. They charged pretty quickly. Then put one of the batteries in the camera and started it up. I initially got a SD card error but was finally able to get the camera to format it correctly.After playing with the various settings and adjusting them to my liking, I decided to take the camera out for a test drive. Image capture was quite easy and the 20MP images seem sharp and clear. I don’t have any 4k equipment so I set video quality to 1080 60 fps and video quality seems to be very sharp. Colors look good in both the photos and the videos.The included wrist strap remote is an excellent addition, especially when I use the Brave 6 on my kayak. It’s mounted a little too far out of reach so I can simply use the remote to take the pictures or videos. Definitely a plus.Like I mentioned the kit came with a bunch of mounting hardware and accessories so I was able to set up a similar mount on my wife’s kayak in case she wanted to use the camera. There is also a handlebar mount for mounting it on my bike.My only complaint is the app that Akaso uses to link up with the camera. Its crap and the reviews point that out. It crashes frequently on both my iPhone 11 Pro Max and my Google Pixel 3XL, both running up to date operating systems. Devs definitely need to work out the bugs.So, after a few hours of playing with the Brave 6, I can say it’s a good, low cost alternative to the GoPro, especially for the casual user like me.I’ll update my review from time to time during the long term use.

I loved this camera, as it suited my needs very well. It was quite easy to connect to devices, and was able to capture high resolution shots of both videos and photos. It came with 2 batteries, which lasted long. The user interface was very simple, and everything was well spaced. It also feels solid, like other cameras such as Go Pros. I believe that this product was well worth it for its low cost.

Akaso really listened to their customers when designing the Brave 6- they addressed what were mostly minor flaws in a great little camera, which I will run thru later, to bring their product to the next level. The new Brave 6, as did the Brave 4, takes stunning video in all modes, the 4k really shines tho I use it (as well as I did the Brave 4) mainly on the lower settings as the majority of the tv's and monitors I use regularly are not 4K so I prefer to save space on the microSD cards by allowing it to create smaller files for the same length of video. It makes a great dash/motorcycle camera, which is my main use, especially with its 'Driving Mode where turns itself on and off when plugged into a key switched power source and records all day using the USB input for power without needing to swap batteries every 45 minutes to an hour. You can set it for loop recording or to shut off when the card is full, I usually set mine to loop with it filling the 64gb card after about 8 hours of recording time on its medium setting. With its image stabilization it takes very smooth video even in the rough and bouncing cab of the Frieghtliner Cascadia I drive for a living, making the ride over the rough bridges and tunnels around Hampton, Va appear calm and boring. The included remote control works well and is handing when recording situations where you want to set the camera in a spot that doesn't allow fast access- such as recording video (or taking pictures) with the camera shooting from above or from down low. Set your camera(s) for your shot, then start and stop recording without having to leave the area you are recording for retakes or breaks- I use this feature in my shop for recording projects and set the cameras in different locations around my work area. The new voice control feature works, but isn't really useful for me due to background noises when working. Some reviewers have mentioned issues with the new app for the Akaso line- I haven't used it as the Brave 6 will function fine with the older CamKing App the Brave 4 uses and I don't need or want two seperate apps on my phone to do the same thing. maybe one day i will try the newer one myself and use which ever works best. The Brave 6 (shown in between my GoPro Hero 2014 and my older Akaso Brave 4) has a much more solid feel to it than the Brave 4 does. Gone is the LED screen on the front, replaced with a simpler ring light to show you when the camera is running. While I never felt the LED screen was needed and don't miss it, I would like the ability to turn off the ring light so that it doesn't give away the camera when filming with multiple cameras (it may turn off, if so I haven't found the option yet). The Brave 4, while it has held up great, always felt slightly "cheap" and its MicroSD slot was difficult to remove the card from and was exposed to dirt and dust along with the USB and HDMI ports. With the Brave 6 they added a rubber sealing plug to cover the USB and HDMI ports and moved the card slot to behind the battery door, the hinged battery door itself being one of the major improvements on the Brave 6. It uses the same batteries as the Brave 4 did, so if you already have the older model you can share your extra batteries between the cameras (important to me). Overall I still feel that the Akaso action cameras are some of the best bang for your buck and will continue to use them, taking video that is truly impressive for an under $100 camera. Is it a GoPro Hero 7? No, but I can buy 3 to 5 of these for the same price!

I write this review on the basis that it is not a Go Pro and does not pretend to be. It is a budget action camera! having said that it does all I need and does it very well. The picture quality is excellent especially at HD 60fps - no real need for 4K but having tried it, it is also quite adequate for my needs. If you need a camera for professional use then you need to spend the money and get a Go pro or even a higher spec camera. for the average Jo this camera is excellent in every way - bags of features.I tested the underwater feature on the first day - no leakage and the picture quality was adequate. Connecting the camera to the wifi was a breeze BECAUSE I followed the instructions and turned off the data roaming. it connects first time every time and no crashes or hangs. I really feel for those who write bad reviews because they cannot follow simple instructions - how do they get through life...You cannot expect a Mercedes for the price of a Kia but using this analogy I reckon I have a Toyota for the price of a Kia. Would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants an above average action cameraCannot fault it for the money

I bought this to use while mountain biking. I didn’t want to get a GoPro as I was concerned I wouldn’t use it as much as would like to in order to constitute the higher price. Nothing wrong about the GoPro. The reviews and price for this unit looked promising. When I received it, I was amazed at how well it was packed. Packaging was impressive and well wrapped. The camera came with a bunch of attachments, two rechargeable batteries, and Bluetooth shutter and record buttons to say the least. The buttons on the cam are little finicky, but they’re not bad. User interface is simple. The one thing I wasn’t too keen about was the fact that an instruction manual was not included with the cam. Instead you have to go to their website to bring up the manual. The app you download on your smart device is okay, not the best. I have a iPhone XR for what it’s worth. It took about 30 minutes to figure out how to connect it with my phone, thinking it was suppose to be connected via Bluetooth, but it’s actually connected through WiFi, which is a little weird to me, but it is what is. I tested the cam under water by placing it in my sink filled with water. Recorded clearly and zero leaks. I also used it on my recent biking adventure and was impressed. Camera stabilization was very decent. I used the 2K setting and it appeared pretty clear, but there’s room for improvement. I still plan to tweak the settings a bit to see what it can do, but so far I’m impressed. If you’re looking for a great action cam on a budget, this is your camera. Oh, and don’t forget to a mini SD card for it. (Hint: use what’s recommended. Period)
