You can get true 3840 x 2160 clips out of the Campark X30 Xtreme V by switching off EIS, and they can look good. But in most occasions we’ll want to use stabilization. That stabilization is just OK, introducing a fair amount of image wobble at the corners of the frame. The Akaso Brave 7 LE also leans heavily on noise reduction as the light level dips, making your footage appear soft regardless of the resolution. Electronic image stabilization is fair, but a little jumpy, as if it only catches up on motion at a delay, rather than aiming to make pans appear smooth. Very low-priced 4K action cameras are best approached with caution, but here’s a mould-breaker. Capable of 20MP photos and 4K/30fps video, the Akaso V50 Pro covers the bare bones basic features and nothing more. Its 1080p footage also looks surprisingly good. This is key because, just like the Dragon Touch Vision 4 Lite, the 4K mode’s motion is super-jerky. Akaso says the EK7000 records 4K at 25fps, but judging by what we see it may be dropping frames or doubling up on them in the final file. We were bowled over by the sheer wealth of accessories most of these cheapo cameras include. But have a look over the product listing to make sure the one you want is included. Remotes are a surprise hit, a fantastic 'freebie' that lets you shoot stills of video with the press of a button. Cyclists take particular note, as handlebar grips need a specific accessory.
What’s the best cheap action camera right now? We think the Kaiser Baas X450 is the top affordable action cam for most people. Its build is basic and its audio performance isn't anything to write home about, but it’s also lightweight at 73g and can capture lovely, detailed 4K footage at 30fps. Plus it has the best stabilization of any non-GoPro camera in this guide. EIS, electronic image stabilization, is a must if you want remotely smooth-looking video. A totally non-stabilized camera is a reminder how much our hands move even when standing still. However, if the budget is really tight you can add this smoothing with software on your laptop. And the EIS of really cheap cameras is completely useless anyway. The Apeman A77 also comes with some video features to get better footage, for example, single shooting, to photo burst, to time-lapse, to self-timer, to slow motion, to aqua mode, to long exposure, to distortion correction. It’s capable to record up to 4K full HD to 30 frames per second, and it’s able to record for 180 minutes. The videos captured with this action camera are stored in.MP4 format under the H.264 codecThe Apeman can also have multiple ways of control to enjoying a hands-free control of your camera via simple voice commands. Or conveniently control it remotely. Moreover, you can edit and share your special-effect pics with ThiEYE Cam App on your Android or iOS devices instantly. It also comes with a smartphone app and Wifi and enjoys hands-free control of your camera via simple voice commands or conveniently controls your action camera 4K remotely. Action cameras are among the toughest cameras around, so we properly put them through their paces to make sure they live up to their rugged billing – and can shoot excellent video and stills, too.
The Apeman A77 is a GoPro alternative from the brand of Apeman with an affordable price and decent video quality. The Apeman A77 lets you take photos up to 16MP with 4K recording, and allows you to use other cool features as well as record underwater with the case and use the many accessories it comes with. The Apeman A77 is waterproof and comes with 2 batteries. The protective case is waterproof and impact-resistant, which makes it possible to shoot videos underwater up to 30m. It also comes with 2 rechargeable 1050mAh batteries to never let you miss a wonderful time and an external charger.
But before we talk about its features, what comes in the box of the Apeman A77? It comes in a small box with many accessories inside such as 2 batteries and a wrist-remote for your sports cam. The V50 Pro's 4K video benefits from basic electronic image stabilization (EIS) tech that does work better as you drop down to 2.7K/30fps and 1080p/60fp, but 4K video is always watchable. There are tons of modes, from slo-mo and fast-mo to time-lapse file length limits (to one, three or five minutes). This isn’t the best overall option you can buy at this price, but it's not without its merits. For example, the Akaso V50 X works perfectly well as a webcam. Just plug it in and select 'PC Camera' (it works fine on Macs too).
How has Akaso made this camera so affordable? We’re still not sure. OK, so there’s none of the 4K/60fps and 5K/30fps video you’ll find on the latest high-end action cameras, and nor is there a front-facing display. But given its decent resolution, excellent build quality and acceptable performance, it’s an undeniable bargain if you’re after the basics.Its microphone quality is solid too. Voices sound louder and clearer than any of the ultra-cheap cameras, second only to the Akaso Brave 7 LE. The X30 Xtreme V has a touchscreen and a decent interface, which is very similar to that of the Apeman A100 and Kaiser Baas V50 (above). Creating a good first impression is one thing, but Akaso has put more effort into other areas too. The Akaso Brave LE 7’s audio quality is better than any other non-GoPro tested here when used in a quiet environment. The quality of the mic is good. As it uses a single mic it’s highly susceptible to wind noise, but there is a basic wind noise reduction mode that helps a bit. Still, there’s only so much you can do with a single mic array. This is one of the best medium-budget action cameras, with great quality on its pictures and videos. It can record up to real 4K and 30fps which is amazing for a medium-budget camera along with many other great features.
