AKASO EK7000 4K30FPS Action Camera - 20MP Ultra HD Underwater Camera 170 Degree Wide Angle Waterproof Camera with Accessory Kit - Blue

This camera is really easy to use and great for taking some fun photos in water. I have only used it a couple of times so far and mainly recording video but it has worked really well both above and under water. Unlike some small cameras I have used in the past, this has a screen on the back so you can see what you are filming in real time. It comes with a waterproof housing which seals very tightly so I had not worries that it was going to leak. There is also a wide range of other accessories provided including two batteries which would be really helpful if using it for a long time (a single battery seems to last well so have not needed the spare yet!). The camera has a wide range of vision which does give the picture a slight fish eye look. Personally I think that adds to the fun of the picture or video. Overall I would say this is a very good camera for the price and allows you to capture adventures without worrying about damaging expensive equipment. I would certainly recommend it.

I was impressed with this little camera. I've always wanted a GoPro but their cost, for the limited occasions I would use it, was prohibitive. It is smaller than I expected, about the size of a box of matches, but that's not really a problem. The casing looks robustly engineered and obviously built for more than just getting a bit wet. The buttons are big, the screen fills the back of it and is easily visible at arms length underwater making it easy to use. The menu is relatively limited but that's no bad thing either. The box comes with a HUGE array of extra fittings and brackets for which there is a QR code for their use but suitable for fitting on ski poles, selfie poles, helmets (I think) and others which were not immediately clear. One major thing to note (and picked up by other reviews) is that you must use a high speed U1/U3 or V30 memory card, suitable for video. I tried a slower one by accident and it just doesn't work but doesn't give a reason why. Other major note is that the buttons only work if you give them a quick light press. Before I realised this, I assumed the buttons weren't working and was holding them down for half a second and pressing hard (often buttons on underwater casings need a bit of force) but not with this. A long press doesn't work at all except for the button to turn it off. I did get a little frustrated over Christmas until I realised what I was doing wrong. I wanted a camera for snorkelling in the Red Sea but previous reviews were unclear if you could do anything more than bob about on the surface. The manufacturers info does not claim to be able to dive with it but I went down to around 10m / 30 feet depth multiple times, expecting it to implode, but it worked flawlessly. There was never a hint of damp or moisture inside the casing at the end of an hours constant immersion and free diving. I used it to take stills and video. You can set how wide the photo view is (0.5x to 3x in 0.5x increments) which is handy to zoom in to the fish without scaring them. I always set up the video to record on the surface but the buttons worked fine underwater too. Although the camera in the case floats by itself, I added a floating handle as the camera is so small I'm not convinced you'd find it again if you let go and it helps get the camera closer to the action. Images and video were downloaded to my iPhone using a card reader and edited in iPhoto. There is no editing available 'in camera' as such. Some colour correction for the blue shift at depth is needed but the pictures and video are sharp and steady. Sound was also quite good, even underwater, but generally its just noise so I tend to delete it. Very happy with my purchase and the results and may try it skiing next... Video has been compressed for posting but gives an idea.

We bought the AKASO EK7000 for our holiday in Spain and I though we will have a bit of fun with our kids. The camera is amazing, good image stabilization, good battery life - one charge last for 2 days, nice resolution, I can't complaint. The most amazing pictures and videos are at the sea side, the waterproof case help me to take unique shots where you can see clear drops of the water in the air. The image stabilization is making a great job as the pictures in moving are looking good as well. One downside for this model is the fact that the remote is not waterproof but to be honest I deep dive a few times with the remote under the water and was still working. Anyway, if you are looking for this feature you can chose a more expensive model from AKASO. Another downside is when you are taking pictures with the camera in the waterproof case some steam spots are developing inside the case and sometimes you have to stop and let the camera to cool down before use it. But I think you can live with that as well. The batteries are very small, as the charger and one full charged battery last me two days on a rate of 200 pictures per day and a lot of videos. The battery is going very fast down when you transfer the pictures in your tablet. Yes, forgot to say, AKASO is having a very nice app that is really working when you want to transfer pictures and videos on a tablet or phone or to just simple edit them. Is a good place for the AKASO community as well, where you can share pictures. The camera I bought came with a lot of accessories, I didn't even use them all, but are made for all kind of situations. The only thing was missing was a selfie stick but ordered one from amazon. So, overall the camera deserves all the money I spend, we had a lot of fun, the pictures are amazing and that was not possible with a regular phone or camera. Definitely I would recommend this camera.

Good action camera for price good entry level camera easy to use

Picture quality very good, setup is simple easy to use, good battery life

Good value for money. This camera comes with an astonishing number of attachments.....none of which allow me to screw the camera to my canoe :) There are, but the camera sits too low and I could have done with a 2" higher mount. Anyway it looks like you can attach this to anything, clothing, ruck sacks tripods - almost anything. The waterproof case is perfectly sound. I ran it under the tap and put it into a washing up bowl, dried the outside and then opened and no dampness inside. For an action camera the quality of picture is very reasonable (if you are a photographer go buy proper kit) for Joe Bloggs to just take pictures and videos of what ever it is that you are doing. The battery charger seems good (well it works) and is quite neat. It has remote control but I didnt even unpack that as I am not interested in it and I think you need to provide a button cell battery for it. Haven't used it in anger yet, just tested at home. Pleased with it.

Had this little camera a while now. It's easy to use, and it's very light and versatile than others. It's a great product to use by popping it on a dog harness and watching the footage of there antics that they get up to. My boys are a small breed, and they don't notice the weight on their backs, its so much fun. I do a lot of cycling, and it's a great size to pop on the handle bars if you have other gadgets on there as well. All in all, a great camera to start off with and have some fun time, or to just simply use as an everyday camera to catch special moments. This little camera is quite tough and durable and great to take anywhere as it packs into a bag or your pocket without taking up too much space. Because of everything it does and for the use you can get out of it, I've given it a 5*.

Apparently I'm not allowed to tell the truth on a review, which actually opened my eyes on Amazon reviews. So here is my opposite review. Fantastic product, no damage and when I reached out my messages were quickly answered and resolved

Super caméra. La qualité me semble top. Le package standard contient des tas d’accessoires compatibles avec une marque bien connue… il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour fixer la cam sur à peu prêt n’importe quoi !

Für meinen Tauchurlaub wollte ich mir nun auch endlich eine Kamera besorgen. Es ist meine erste, daher mag mir mancher Vergleich fehlen. Für einen EInsteiger ist sie jedenfalls völlig ausreichend. Die Bilder/Videos sind in einer guten bis sehr guten Qualität. Das Equipment ist umfangreich, auch wenn ich persönlich das meiste nicht gebrauchen kann. Jedoch Pluspunkte für den Ersatz-akku. Das Case hält dicht, es dringt kein Wasser ein. Zum Taucheinsatz kam sie zwar noch nicht, aber Ostsee und Pool hat sie dennoch gut überstanden. Die Bedienung ist mM. nach einfach. Ein Zurück Button wäre schön, so muss man immer durch das ganze Menü scrollen. Fazit: Wer eine gute Einsteigercamera zum guten Preis haben möchte sollte zugreifen!

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo!

La qualité de la vidéo est très intéressante pour capturer les moments de la vie de tous les jours, la photo pas extraordinaire mais correcte, évidemment elle se destine au sport et aventure en extérieur avec toutes les fixations. En plus de la mini télécommande fournie, l'application pour Android / iPhone agit comme une télécommande, avec un report en temps réel de la vue. Bref c'est très léger et peu encombrant, acheté en promo à 54€ c'est une excellente affaire. J'ai mis dedans une carte SD de 128Go qui a été reconnue sans problème. Les comparatifs aident pour vérifier quel modèle répond à vos besoin, car toutes se ressemblent à peu près et les modèles plus chers ne sont pas forcément plus performants, ou alors sur certains critères seulement. Très content de cette caméra qui va me suivre partout.

Ho scelto il colore azzurro, molto bella q vedersi! Ho fatto una prova rapida ma funziona bene e si vede bene, anche l'audio niente da dire! La consiglio!
