Setting up is very easy with the camera
on June 28, 2017
This camera has been beyond my expectations!!! The camera itself is displayed, but all of its accessories are neatly packaged in the compartment below. I really love the quality of the videos and perfect for my purpose which is Drone and field footage. The 2 batteries lasts a decent amount of time, A lot of accessories to get your started. The menu is very ease to navigate in and overall great. Have tested it underwater as well and also amazing!. The only con would be the clip to open the battery compartment, it's kind of fragile and tricky in the beginning. Overall, happy with the price and build quality.When I shop on Amazon I rely heavily on other people’s reviews to help me make the right choice on what to buy and what not to buy. I depend on other people’s honesty to help me make wise choices when purchasing items here on Amazon.com. So, in turn, I always make sure to leave my HONEST opinions on products that I review. I try to give as much detail as I can when I can without being long winded. If you have any questions for me on something I failed to mention, please ask and I will respond quickly. Please be assured the product has earned the rating I have given.

I always wanted a GoPro, but it is little bit pricey and not sure if I really need it. That is why I bought this, it looks like GoPro, came with lots of stuff, bageries, strapes, etc. Used it for holiday hiking and love it! I think this is a good substitute for GoPro if you don't want to spend that much money. But I also will reduce my expectations, so far working great.

I'm writing another review of the 4K as I took it on my European cruise and had it stolen or lost In Rome on the very last day at the Spanish Steps. (And by chance if you are the one that found it, Please Please send me back the SD card with the vids and keep the Akaso!!) I had to use my old 1080p cam (read my old review below) that I gave to my daughter for the rest of the day and it was such a difference. I just bought another one to replace the original as it was so good and could't be with out it. The videos I had walking around the different european cities came out really well. The underwater shots in the pool was so clear. I really liked the added accessories I got from Akaso for the first review. I love that the new 2017 version comes with a duel battery charger as I've now got 5 batteries from this and my last 2 cameras. All in all, my only issue still is that this camera doesn't have stabilization. Once it comes out with that, I'm going to get that one too!!
This was my original post from the 1st Akaso 4K:
I love this Cam!! I was looking to get a cheaper alternative to a GoPro last year and decided to give these cams a try. I bought a 1080 wifi version from another brand and went on 2 different vacations. From roaming the streets of Europe to snorkeling in Hawaii. It was great for the most part but I did notice a couple of things that I didn’t like. The low light on the other camera was not good at all. It would just turn everything yellow. And even though it had a wifi option to use as remote control, it was not really a good option while walking around. The shaky video as the anti-shake option didn't work. I knew when I bought my 1080 that it was going to be my gateway to the 4k version if I liked it. So with that said, the Akaso 4k covers most of those flaws. The Akaso 4K does great in low light and as it’s a 4K camera, it obviously takes a better recording. But just for kicks, I set the Akaso at a 1080 30 fps settings and did a side by side comparison with my other camera and the Akaso was still better. Not to mention the Akaso has a 60fps option at 1080 recordings. And one of my favorite feature (which I didn’t think was a necessity before I got it) is the remote! I love how easy it is to start a recording or take a picture without having to toggle through the cam to the vid/pic section. Also I don’t have to reach up to the cam when I have its on a selfie stick or when I have it mounted on a mini tripod. I also liked how much easier it was to navigate the menu on the Akaso then my 1080 cam which basic still have the same functions. There is only one thing that I don’t like on either cam is that it doesn’t have an anti-shake feature. But I have since found a software (round $40 online) that can edit that for you at the cost of some of your outer edge of your recordings. And since this is a wide angle cam, you can afford that space. So all in all, I would say if you are debating on either getting the 1080 vs the 4k, just spend a little more money and go straight to the 4k. It is worth the money.

this camera is great quality! it's small enough to take anywhere and comes with a ton of accessories! super pumped about this purchase

Got this yesterday, and after only 1 trip using it, I love it. I don't need a $400+ camera, as I am not surfing the pipe, or jumping off buildings with a parachute, but if I was, I'd probably still use this camera, because of the ease of use, included accessories, and the super convenient wrist strap remote control. For an entire package, the Akaso EK7000 has it all at a great price. I just wish they would have charged $10 more and included a MicroSD card in the kit.

This product is definitely worth the money. It comes with a very nice packing, which is same with gopro. A lot of accessories in the box and I almost get everything I need to start. It even comes with two batteries and a charging station, way way beyond my expectation. The camera is also in great quality, I feel the picture and video are as good as gopro. I tried it in the water with plastic case, it works very well and pictures are very clear. Over all, it is a good choice to have this product as a inexpensive substitute for gopro.

This is a great alternative to a GoPro if you don't have the cash ONLY if you don't plan on recording for long periods of time. I only purchased this camera to capture my gameplay while playing hockey. I picked up a suction cup mount for a GoPro and it fit perfectly.
The problem here is the battery life. Our games are always 1 hour long as it is 3 periods with a running clock and only 1 minute intermissions. Multiple times now the camera can't even make it a full 1 hour of recording at 1080P. The extra battery is great but absolutely no use to me as I can't just leave the net in the middle of a game to swamp out a battery.
I've seen people say they get about 90 minutes on one battery. I followed the care instructions for both batteries, ensured I fully charged them before their first use, and both seemed to only allow 50 minutes of capture. I have the screen saver set to 1min and I never use the WiFi.
Returning to purchase a GoPro.

Just bought the Akaso EK7000 4K and it was well worth the money! Takes great videos and pictures with awesome clarity. This is a great value especially when compared to the Go Pro.

This camera is so asome. We use it when we go on vacations, my husband just wear it on him and we are able to catch many great memories of the kids. Sometime they don't like the feeling of you recording them, so having it handsfree def is a good option. Some time when we go biking we can capture all the great views as well.
