CHEAP vs EXPENSIVE - GoPro Hero 10 vs Akaso Brave 8

Can confirm, Morgan cried a bunch at that ending. Great success!🙌

Je préfère la Go pro, j'ai acheté la Akaso 7 brave mais trop de problèmes pas de son pas de stabilisation en VTT ou en moto donc je l'ai renvoyé, je pense que la Brave 8 ne fera pas beaucoup mieux que la Brave 7, stabilisation électronique ce n'est pas le top.

sure pixel wise GoPro is still ahead, especially details...i find that the Akaso is brighter than the GP...GP seems darker overall...its tough in the end GP still would win with any cheaper action camera...stabilization is another issue with Akaso and others.

Very good review, thanks

I use the more inexpensive action cameras for multi camera indie film shoots, e.g. in car camera m/ motorcycle angles.

I currently use older AEE S71 action cams that are semi equivalent or in some aspects superior to the Go Pro Hero 4-5 range of that era in conjunction with inexpensive Hohem gimbals.

To upgrade from a four camera Akaso Brave 8 to a four camera Go Pro Hero 10, much less a Hero 12 might cost $1200 more.

There are places where “cheap” action cams are a better choice.

can't agree more. i would do the same. actually i am doing the same, buying a go pro

Thank you

Hi
actioncams crop video when stabilization is ON.
Which model has a wider video after cropped by stabilization, Akaso or GoPro.
I have Akaso V50x in my chestmount and i am disappointed cause when stabilization is ON the video is cropped and my hands on the handlebar disappear from the scene. When stabilization is OFF i can see me hands on the handlebar of my ebike, but video shakes in rough terrain.😮

As of today, 8/30/23, the GoPro 9 Black is $249 (5% cheaper with Target Card). I’d probably stick with that and add on the battery back. Similar dollar amount and better quality.

The "cheap" Akaso (300€ ) actually make no sense. The price of the top model is so high that you can buy a DJI, GoPro, Insta or other right away. And unfortunately the Akaso cameras only take nice pictures when there is little movement. If you use it as a real action cam, the framerate is unstable, many drops, compression blur/interpolate, overcharged edges and image errors are really bad. An old GoPro from Ebay for half the price makes visibly better and smoother videos. The Akaso software is also a bug festival and customer service non-existent. It's this typical social media influencer hype product where everyone suddenly reports about it because someone started and you don't want to lose touch. The small Akaso series can be interesting for people with little money. But over 100€ you are better with a used GoPro and at 300€ you can also buy new DJI/Insta/GoPro.

you forgot to mention something... the issues of reliability of the go pro. I dont care if the go pro can take quality video, if its constantly overheating, rebooting and corrupting files.

Jeez, price difference is nothing. You should've went with the brave 7le

I like the camera thing is if you are hooked on a gopro then that what you want buy the gopro but the camera can do a good job and i don't know if he had it in the water proof case but the camera does have good sound quality so if i was you buy it and try it out sometime people that do reviews are not going to be true to the game because some of them are getting paid to put a product down

i didn*t hear to you

Or spend even less like $150 and get the akaso brave 7 Le. It's almost as good as the 8 and comes with the same stuff... Just cheaper.

David: Just got a reply from Akaso, “Brave 8 is currently out of stock and will not be available for a short period of time, probably 3-5 months. ” ☹

I want some magic spoon now.... but I am in Australia and we done have it here. :(

I would like you to clarify your commitment about going after the 8-9 against the this budget camera. With that statement you should do the side by side to compare side by side money

I live in California and looking at the sand on both of these pictures I can tell you for sure that the pictures of the sand on the akaso camera is truer to real life than the GoPro. The GoPros images are too saturated.

@davidManningvlog in terms of R&D the go pro is way ahead i agree but the price what they are charging is pretty much high compared and bCz of that otr brands like DJI and Insta 360 hv also strtd with high price and to stay out from all the otr products and one more the the so called cheap brands have a bigger market more buyers then the Go pro and otrs cz PPL who want to show off who hv lot of money to spend will buy expensive bt the world is full of low budget level PPL even after hvng money to spend i will still choose Akaso 👍🏾

However, both are expensive for me! In Bangladesh Akaso will cost 27000 and Gopro 43000 taka

If it takes 2 forms of pressure to open it's more secure than no?

Tbh, i think the colors on the GoPro is a bit over saturated.... The colors is not really natural on it. That is why i never use my GoPro in "ProTune" mode

I can't tell if the colors look richer on the GoPro or if the Akaso just isn't as dark/dim.

Buy the GoPro and then buy an accessory kit on Amazon, every single piece you have doesn't have to be from GoPro, just battery and charger, everything else is too expensive just because it says GoPro on it. It's amazing, to me at least, that GoPro has had a "bug" of some kind on every camera they have released, yet they are still on top of the market.

I am so broke I can’t even buy cheap action camera😢

At least you’re not asking as far as I can see for people to support you and your kids via that scam “Patreon” (maybe I’m wrong). Good to see you sell shit and earn it. People should not be asked for money in every fucking channel. You have pride and aren’t panhandling online.

this truly honest review should be normalized.

Akaso at 279$ for me it's a total nonsense, way better a go pro 9 or even 8

the price comparison in my country is ridiculous. the gopro10 is TWICE the price of that akaso, not a mere 70 dollars

Thanks for sharing

How long does the battery LASTTT????

GoPro is exactly what it means = Pro. If quality is what you are looking for then it is GoPro.

I am from Northern Quebec Canada! I ordered a microphone for my iPhone,Amazon said it was 30 bucks but since I am from the north the shipping and handling cost me over $80 dollars,if I were to order a GoPro camera that is going to cost me at least over $650ca or even more,so for me ordering a budget camera it’s like for you buying a brand new GoPro,I have to spend more money just to create content,as of right now I am using a very low quality action camera called Kaiser Baas,but I am aiming for Akaso.

Why did you completely ignore the fact that the Akaso has 5x optical zoom? Gopro has zilch?

Are we not allowed to see how the Akaso video stabilisation turned out?

Software Does Not Work !

Way Over Priced For A Sub Par Camera!

Do you think $279 is cheap?!

Oh btw, you have a beautiful family!

Came for the camera and bought the cereals.....

Great video! Something missed to me: Akaso declare a stunning 400fps for super slow motions, while GoPro stops at 240fps. Have you any test about this feature?

Very ignorant and uneducational video

HA, I just watched a video of all the bad things about the GoPro. Makes one wonder about which camera is really better.

There both made in China so it depends on the person if spending more makes you feel its better go ahead

Well, I am going to be the contrarian. I don't like the GoPro 10's over-saturated and -sharpened look, in both video and photos. The Asako looks like a much more flexible output for post. And let's face it, most content these days is viewed on phone screens and the different shrinks even more on smaller screens.

Hello (:
I have a question, it is possible to switch from normal video to slow motion with the waterproof case on, per example? Meanwhile you are diving and you can't take the case off. I have the feeling that, since the screen is not working meanwhile the case is on, the general options are really limited with just the two buttons on top... Thank you for your help!

Its for it to be secure for no dirt and stuff I think
