Several great alternatives by Us company Akaso remain among several competitors for such label of most inexpensive sports camera — we have tested the Akaso V50X, and yet this special variant of the V50 Professional is a further alternative with multiple sensors and an incredibly amazing specifications table.
The Akaso V50 Pro (US$119.990 or UK£119.990, roughly AUS$156) was first released around 2019 and has since been revamped and enhanced – somewhat – as both the Akaso V50 Professional ‘The Eternal Summer’ SuperiorVersion (US$139.990, equivalent to United Kingdom £102 or AUS$182), primarily with the US markets.
We’re looking at the latter, which has a little better definition of 20-megapixel sensors than that of the predecessor that only had a 12-megapixel camera. Other than that, the different versions are similar, so implies customers receive a second round of peripherals.
Really how would the ‘The Endless Summer’ model of the V50 Pro function in practice?
The Akaso V50 Pro isn’t a complicated shooter, but it certainly doesn’t appear to be. It has a very utilitarian appearance itself around the 170-degree variable aperture, measures 60 by 41 by 32 mm, and weighs 64g. It’s also useful, with a huge 2-inch display and a haptic silicone shell that still doesn’t gather germs.
A ¼ inches gimbal hole has been included on the lowest, this would be much welcomed by shooters and whoever else who are perplexed by that the missing of something on more expensive GoPros as for GoPro Hero 9 Black.
But, there seems to be one feature of this product that has perplexed us: a Micro USB connector. We have not had a Micro USB port in 5 years to power its own 1,100mAh battery-operated — 2 of these are provided in the package.
It’s perplexing, but it matters a great deal in practice. A small HDMI port for transferring footage to a Television or a MicroSD is both located upon that camera’s backside.
Akaso is already playing its trump pass. Although a 4K/30frames per second camera module might not have been slashing, its full mass of peripherals will render it quite appealing.
It’ll be a long journey. A very useful band controller, charging system, a charger adapter, a watertight casing (usable to something like a deep of 100ft/30m), and just an amount framework seem to be the high points in the packaging. Following that is a frenzy of bicycle & helmet bolts including installation bolts, different adhesive solutions, cable ties, Velcro strip, as well as a wiping brush. Fortunately, the package also includes a mini USB connection. What does Akaso V50 Pro allow users to accomplish? ‘Why can’t they do with that too?’ is maybe a simpler set of questions.
That’s what I’m saying. Run it swiftly. The Akaso V50 Pro’s huge 2-inch IPS Lcd display with 320×240 resolution display on the back is among the features, even though it’s not nearly as snappy as it should have been.
It’s common to need maybe double treble pushes, and the touchscreen panels themselves take some becoming used to. Getting the Akaso V50 Pro into the setting you choose is straightforward, though.
Then choose a frame rate (4K/30frames per second , 2.7K/30frames per second , 1080p/60frames per second , 1080p/30frames per second , 720p/120frames per second , and 720p/60frames per second). Furthermore, whenever a smartphone is linked to the sensor Wi-Fi connection, the complimentary Akaso application allows the user to set things up online.
That application may be a pain to use. It performs well enough overall and is also the simplest reason to adjust the sensor parameters, although it is likely to crash while transferring photographs and movies to a smartphone. To send information, it’s quicker to connect it over to a Laptop or Pc. The Akaso V50 Pro may also be used as a camera for a Laptop that may also appeal to individuals looking for a projector with works remotely.
The Akaso V50 Pro’s video resolution tops out at 4K/30frames per second, but the MOV records it generates have rudimentary enhanced image steadying (EIS) expertise, which helps to make a very viewable movie. It’s recommended to turn it on, despite the EIS working properly at 2.7K/30frames per second and 1080p/60frames per second.
Also, there is a 720p/120frames per second short- and long choice, along with moment footage, rapid movement films (with stages of 2x through 15x), as well as a landscape setting for racing, cold, and nighttime. One option that enjoyed was the ability to restrict the duration of recordings to only one, 3, or 5 notes, which is useful if you only like to capture a few seconds of footage and wouldn’t want to turn off the device in the middle of a trip.
