Akaso Brave 7 review

The Brave 7 is the cheapest camera on this list and comes as a complete kit. Akaso's Standalone package includes two 1350 mAh batteries, a remote, a camera frame, a handlebar mount, two helmet mounts and more, which saves money for new cyclists. It records 4K at 30 fps, 1080p at up to 120 fps and 720p at 240 fps, and takes 20 MP photos. Akaso rates it IPX8 and says it handles immersion to 10 m (33 ft) without a case, matching the HERO13 Black, and a waterproof case is sold for deeper dives. Dual color screens help with selfies, voice commands start recording, and a USB-C external mic is supported. EIS 2.0 stabilization is an older system than HyperSmooth or RockSteady, and Akaso does not make sensor size or low-light claims. Akaso estimates around 140 minutes of recording per battery at 1080p. It is a sensible starter camera, not a match for the flagships in image quality.

Who it is for

First-time buyers and families who want a waterproof camera with mounts and spare batteries for the lowest price.
