Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on March 26, 2019I bought the Akaso V50 Pro to start a YouTube Channel about our travels, I received it quickly just 2 days before leaving for a two month trip to Portugal. Learning the camera was easy, again there are lots of how to's on YouTube. I leave the camera on automatic mount it on a small telescopic selfie stick that I took the phone holder off, it has a 1/4 20 tripod screw and the Akaso V50 Pro screws right on. The stick mainly helps to hold the camera steady when walking and also to film myself at a reasonable distance without seeing my arm outstretched and because of the wide angle lens it keeps your fingers out of the frame. This works amazingly well and I'm very pleased the image stabilization built into the camera is awesome.
Colour reproduction is pretty good in good lighting, I do edit my clips in FCPX and while filming in the Algarve Portugal, I have found the footage a little biased to blue, so I add a slight warming filter from the video effects in FCPX.
Low light is problematic such as church interiors as the footage looks soft and smeared as though there is no sharpening, but outdoors it is very sharp and viewing my YouTube channel on a 55 inch flat screen T.V. the videos are crisp. Sound is good for the camera, I have not used any external microphones or recorders yet as I'm still new to the camera and traveling in Europe. At arms length the mic picks up our voices quite well, only occasionally do I have to boost the sound in post.
I have had the camera just over 60 days and quite early on I see a little delimitation on the rear screen as though their is a slight air bubble. The other thing I have noticed is it doesn't record every time you press the button and I had not noticed so I press the button to record the clip and then press the record button to stop, what had been happening is the first press didn't start recording and the second press to switch off did start recording, so I have a lot of footage of the side walk upside down. Now when I record I wait until I see the red recording icon on the back screen, this is a very intermittent issue and does not effect the usability of the camera. One last small negative is while recording towards the end of the clip I will get a sound click (pop) on the soundtrack for no reason.
I have the camera set to deflicker lights in the 50 hertz range as I'm in Europe and I noticed my clips in Fatima Cathedral the lights are pulsing, also traffic lights do the same, again no big deal, I just thought it would have stopped that.
I love the camera and would buy it again, in fact I may buy another two for my YouTube Channel at the price there is no competition and the quality of the image is great, I film 1080p at 60fps and the half speed slow motion looks great.
Battery life is also surprisingly good, I do switch the camera off and on to film and generally only film clips up to20 seconds, sometimes up to minute to speed the footage up then switch off. I can get nearly a whole day of Vlogging clips from one battery. I do recommend getting additional batteries and an external charger, I got one battery and a charger from 鶹 very cheaply. I paid just under $130 Canadian $ for the Akaso V50 Pro and I think it’s worth it.
Bottom line if you need a camera for everyday YouTubing or action camera get this one.
