For action video, the AKASO EK7000 is just okay. This camera is small and light enough that it can be easily attached to a helmet rig. It has a solid build when used with the case that comes with it, and it’s even rated to be water resistant when used with the case. It is also good at getting rid of camera shake. That said, its video quality in 4k and FHD is poor, and it doesn’t offer a lot of frame rate options for recording slow-motion footage.

Where to get AKASO EK7000 Camera?
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]The Akaso EK7000 is a simple cube with four buttons, which is about as basic as it gets. Not only is it simple, but it also has a body that looks a lot like older GoPros. The front of the camera has a power button that also switches between the various modes (video, photo, burst, time-lapse and settings). It can also be used to go back a step when using the menus. The shutter button is on top, and it can also be used as the “enter” button when going through the menus. The only thing on the back is the 2-inch LCD screen.
GoPro and Sony action cameras are the best in terms of quality and new features, but they both cost between $200 and $400, which is a bit more than other cameras. The Akaso EK7000, which can cost about one-sixth as much, does a good job with video as long as you don’t expect too much. Overall, the quality of the videos shot on the Akaso was pretty good, unless there was a lot of movement, which made the videos very shaky. The gold sunset on the side of the pool really stood out in the picture, but even when I moved the camera slowly, the tiles on the side of the pool became less clear.
The Akaso EK7000 is a cheap camera that works about as well as the Fujifilm XF10. The camera can record in 4K, but it can only do so at 25 fps with a wide-angle view. It can also record in 1080p or 720p at 60 frames per second. This cheap action camera can also take 12-megapixel photos and time-lapse and burst mode photos. If you want 16MP and electronic stabilisation, you will need the Akaso EK7000 Pro. The EK 7000 does well in a market full of action cameras, including the GoPro Hero 7.
