In action, the 4K resolution looks really good on the V50X thanks to the image sensor. Here are the width and height in pixels for each resolution:Īll videos are saved in.
PHOTOTIME REVIEW 1080P
The Akaso V50X can shoot video in different resolutions, 4K, 2.7K, 2K, 1080p and 720p. It can protect the camera up to 131 feet or 40 meters of underwater depth. This housing is great for scuba divers or anyone who likes to shoot underwater videos and still shots. The camera itself is not waterproof but it comes with a waterproof housing included in the box for free. This external mic can’t be used with the waterproof housing. It connects to the camera’s micro USB port and can enhance the audio quality, especially when doing vlogs or live streams. The audio will sound very muffled when using the waterproof housing which is normal on a lot of other action cameras.Īkaso have released an external microphone which works with the V50X. The microphone quality is average, it does do a bit of wind noise reduction but not much. The Akaso V50X has one microphone located at the top. There is a format option in the settings. Make sure the micro SD card is class 10, I personally prefer U3 micro SD cards like this SANdisk.Īlways format your newly bought micro SD card using the camera. The V50X supports micro SD cards up to 64GB in size.
PHOTOTIME REVIEW TV
And a micro HDMI out port that is used to output your video footage and photos to a TV or monitor.
The Akaso V50X has two ports, a micro USB for charging and for transferring data to a computer. On the left side of the camera, you can see the ports and the micro SD card slot. I will talk about the codecs in the video section later on. It has a Hi 3559 V200 chipset which supports both H.264 and H.265 codecs and 4K.
The V50X is truly capable of native 4K resolution at 30fps and still shots at 12 megapixels. The image sensor is a Sony IMX458 with a size of 1/3.06 inches capable of a maximum of 13 megapixels, it supports 4K at 30 frames per second as per the product information sheet. There are four options you can choose from: 170, 140, 110 and 70 degrees. The angle is adjustable in the camera settings. The Akaso V50X lens is a 170-degree super wide lens. The Akaso V50X touchscreen works really well, you can swipe up and down to go through the different menus then tap with your finger to select the resolution or setting you like. Will Akaso deliver good quality 4K on the V50X? This type of compression is low quality and shoots the bitrate into the roof and that can sometimes result in corrupted video files. However, those cameras had interpolated 4K with MJPEG compression.
On the V50X, Akaso promises its customers with native 4K resolution at 30 frames per second.Ī lot of claims have been made in the past by some action camera companies about their cameras’ ability to shoot 4K videos. While many action camera enthusiasts like myself are somewhat attached to GoPro, I love testing cameras from brands like Akaso, ThiEYE and others, simply because they offer cameras with a lot of nice features for a price much lower than GoPro.Īfter the release of the GoPro Hero 8, brands like Akaso had to do a lot of work to catch up on the quality and features.
