An excellent little action camera

5 out of 5 stars

An excellent little action camera
I purchased this camera on the recommendation of several review sites that I researched for purchases that were less cost than a traditional GoPro branded camera. The V50X is a capable little camera. I used mostly the 1080/2K/4K video modes as we took it on a trip to the Southwest US. I attached it to a shoulder holster of my backpack for some great hiking video. It performs very well in good lighting and acceptable in low/dim light. The microphone is acceptable when recording audio within say, 6 feet of the camera, beyond that is very faint. This can be augmented with two things: 1) the alternative back cover for the housing (however this negates the waterproof ability and and dust protect from the fully sealed back. 2) the optional $10 microphone, but this however isn't able to be used in the housing at all, as the USB port is covered when in the housing. It does have an accessory mounting screw hole directly on the camera (see pictures) so you can attach it to accessories without it being in the housing, which is good because there is no alternate housing available, that i could find at least – as you can find for GoPro cameras. Just a couple things to keep in mind or that effected our use. 1) There is no alternative housing that I could find. You must attach it to accessories via the on-board screw hole and leave it bare-naked. it is rubberized so it might withstand mist/dust, but without the waterproof housing it is in now way resistant to much else, especially drenching or submerging. 2) It is very particular about SD cards. The FAQ states that it needs UHS-3 SD card of 64gb max size. But I found that I only had modest success with these requirements. I took 3 cards with me on the last trip (2 @ UHS3 and 1 USH1) all name brand Lexar, Samsung, Sandisk. I was faced with two problems, as might be expected the USH1 would only record at 4k for 15-30 seconds before giving me an error regarding speed. I could lower the bitrate to 1080@20fps and have more success. Most disappointing was the cards legitimately marked USH3 exhibited the same issue, although less often. I would often have to restart video recording because of hte "slow speed" error. And 2/5 times the recording could not be started again and i wouldn't be able to record until I tried a new card. What I ultimately had to resort to was brand new USH-3/A1/V30 and V90 cards. (see the SD Association's guide to video recording on SD – https://bit.ly/2KKAqQQ). What you really need are V30/60/90 rated cards (UHS3 as well). Once I replaced any of the cards I took with these, i have yet to have issues. My last and only true frustration: probably related and connected to the SD card performance, was when changing cards the camera always insisting on formatting the card for usage. I could have used that card for a short video earlier that day (aka…not using very much of the 64gb) and it would insist on formatting before it would let me record later on that day or if I changed the card. It meant that I had to be very attentive to saving off any video the preceding evening before wanting to use it the following day, making sure the cards were empty or able to be formatted for the following day. It seemed that if the SD card had any recordings already on it that it could not index or calculate how much space was remaining to be used and resorting to telling you to format. This messed up several mid-trail hikes footage. Once I replaced the cards with the V30 rated cards, I have not noticed this behavior again. I can recommend this camera as an effective, budget conscious, quality alternative to more higher cost "name branded" action cameras. In my opinion it is a perfect option for those on a budget yet still have 4K video performance needs. An Excellent value for the cost.

    A really major improvement over the Pro

    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2019

    Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase

    I have only had my new AKASO V50x for a couple of days, but I am enjoying playing with it…… Partly because it is so easy and intuitive to use. I have had the AKASO V50 Pro for about 9 months, and it has been frustrating. The V50x is a huge improvement.

    The touch screen responds smoothly and reliably (which the Pro never has.) Funny thing…. I noticed that the touch screen works fine with the screen protector that came on it still in place. I think I’ll leave it on!

    The menu system is much improved. It is so nicely laid out and easy to navigate that I really have not had to read the manual, except to learn some details about new features. In addition, the new buttons really help the user friendliness. The Pro has only two buttons. The X has a Mode/Power button on the front, which when pressed briefly takes you directly to a menu page where you can quickly choose one of 9 modes. Some of the new modes are very cool (more on that later.) There is a shutter button by itself on the top, so you don’t get confused as to which one you are on without looking. On the side are an up and down button used for navigation and turning on and off the Wi-Fi. The result is much simpler and more direct control of the camera. Two really nice features of the Up/Down buttons are, you can fast forward or rewind when playing back video, and Zoom the image when recording Video or Photos! A really nice feature not found on most cameras. I did notice the manual says it will zoom to 4x, but mine only goes to 3.1x. Also, if you zoom while recording video, you do hear the button snap on the recording. It might be best to set the zoom before you begin recording.

    I tested the video and photo quality in various lighting conditions, and I feel the picture is much better than the Pro. The color rendition is more accurate, and the exposure level looks just right. The Pro seemed over exposed and too ‘contrasty,’ making a harsh looking picture. Changing the EV is awkward on the Pro, and is only available in large increments. If you do wish to change the EV on the X it is easily done in small increments.

    An important feature for me is the Image Stabilization, since I take in-flight video from my airplane. The Stabilization is much better on the X, plus it has the additional option of Gyroscope, which really cuts down on jiggle or blurring from vibration or quick movements. This is a big improvement.

    Driving Mode works great and is set up so the camera will come on and record when external power is applied, but not when you operate the power button. So you can leave it in Driving Mode, but still turn the camera on and off manually without recording unwanted video. Cool! The recorded Audio is better on the X than the Pro as well.

    Other new features are Slow Motion which works very smoothly and is a neat effect, Time Lapse in both Video and Photo modes, and a “Still Photo” mode which takes a still photo at intervals of your choosing while recording video.

    Another handy thing…. When you plug it into your computer via USB, a screen pops up giving you the options of charging, using it as a PC camera, or an external USB drive on the computer for watching or transferring files. No need to search the menus.

    I also like the new display. It shows all the information regarding the modes and setting you are in, recording time elapsed and remaining, and a tools button.

    And, unlike my Pro, the Remote works! It works consistently at 23 feet (I measured) and has just two buttons, Video and Photo. It works on Wi-Fi, where the Pro used RF, so you had to go into the menu and turn RF on and Wi-Fi off, or vice-versa to use the app. But the remote on the Pro just simply never works beyond 3 feet, and seldom works closer.

    Okay, so I usually don’t rant on so in my reviews, but I am a picky guy, so I was able to find a couple of things to complain about: Two minor things are, it came poorly packaged from AKASO Direct, and the plastic display box was broken ( no apparent damage to the goods.) And the internal speaker is crappy, but who cares about that?

    I do have two real complaints: There is still no Upside Down mode, and no mounts are provided which allow you to mount the camera from above. Most any windshield mount for a car mounts that way (you can’t make it stick to a dashboard) and for my flying, almost all the time it has to be mounted hanging down. I will have to get creative and make a few mounts of my own to hang it right side up from above.

    And, come on you guys, no Lens Cover? Geeze, why don’t most action cameras have a simple plastic cap to protect the lens when not in use? The glass on the lens protrudes past the rim, so if you lay it facing down, it will immediately get scratched. Please, hold off on a couple of the many mounting gadgets and give me a lens cover!

    So, overall I am very pleased with the V50x, and look forward to getting some nice in-flight and other videos when the weather improves. It is certainly a huge improvement over my frustrating Pro, and works like a charm in every way I’ve tried it.

    Value for money action cam but has its cons

    Reviewed in Saudi Arabia on October 5, 2022

    Style: StandaloneVerified Purchase

    I have used this mostly for my bike rides and in the waterproof casing. I can say the stability is good and video quality (4k@30) is very decent. The wide angle pictures have come out great and is a very useful feature to capture scenery and the likes when your on rides. The buttons and UI are easy to use and simple.
    The mic although is awful, i could still hear my bikes exhaust in the videos but ofcourse not so clearly. Maybe without the case it will sound clearer though the wind blast can make it bad. I have yet to test it without case as I’m scared of water going in and rendering it useless (still monsoons in india).
    For the price i’d say go for it as a first action cam to test your own skills and then maybe spend on the more expensive gopros once you’ve got the hang of using an action cam.

    I'm giving this 3 stars because I'm quite happy with it as all is okay but not sure why, we put in a SanDisk 64GB memory card but got some files corrupted.

    I used it for my travel experience and was happy with it until on the 3rd day of my trip even though the camera was working and was not even giving any errors but when viewing the playback, the files are corrupted until the end of the trip.
    I was so sad and pissed off because it was amazing memories I won't do again and it's just gone.

    It did say it reads 64GB but I'm quite not sure what happened.
