Akaso Brave 8

Features:

Video Resolution

The AKASO BRAVE 8 offers the highest video output of 4K at 60fps. The output videos are sharp at optimum lighting but lack stability. And the inbuilt EIS doesn’t work with the 4K Resolution. On the frame rate comparison, there are quite some action cams that offer 4K at 120fps though.

Dual Screens

The AKASO Brave 8 features dual LCD screens. The front 1.2” screen is just a selfie screen, to let you give an overview of your selfie snaps. The rear touch-enabled 2” screen is the primary one. You can access the settings and toggles from the rear cam. Also, long-pressing the Mode button switches between the front and rear cams.

Meter Modes

The Brave 8 unlike the Brave 7 offers several metered modes. The AI Face Metering and the spot metering lets you get good quality images and videos. But on a bigger scale, the cam doesn’t match up to the mark of the bigwigs like the GoPro Hero series of the DJI Action Cams.

AKASO Go App

The AKASO Go app isn’t really up to the mark. Its outdated and glitchy UI is a real pain. As of now, there’s only the Android version available and that’s a huge problem if you’re an iOS user. Also, an easy video transfer isn’t possible as there isn’t a PC suit available yet. The lack of a PC tool needs you to remove the SD card, insert it into your card reader and then connect it with your PC for post-processing. That’s a big drawback in this time of wireless file transfer.

Battery Backup and Charging

The AKASO Brave 8 includes two 1550 mAh rechargeable batteries. The battery backup to be frank is barely average as most flagship action cams provide you with exceptional battery backup.
