I upgraded from the Akaso EK7000 cam to this (the EK7000 Pro). While they are similar, this one packs a punch. The 4k video looks better and this one is a touchscreen!.
Size-wise, they are almost identical. The EK7000 PRO fits perfectly in all the accessories I already have for my original one but this one still comes with a ton of accessories and mounts for various surfaces.
You can set the light settings depending on where you will be shooting video, but the camera also does it on it's own if you don't want to mess with that. Going from darker to light or vice-versa has quick transitions and even shooting in low-light conditions were still extremely viewable.
Of course, this one is also waterproof and while it doesn't come with a memory card, they can be found on amazon for cheap. You can control the camera through the on-board controls, the included wireless remote, and even download the apps from Google Play or Apple Store. I can't vouch for the android options, but there are multiple apps for this on the Apple Store. They all work well - save videos directly to your phone, or delete them off the memory card from the app itself.
Cons: The battery cover is a bit poorly designed and I have cracked the piece you need to use to open the hatch on both cameras I have.
1 : Battery life will last about 37-40 minute if you use the best settings and features while recording. Recording at lower resolution, no stabilizer and warm weather will get you an hour+ of battery life. ( cold weather limits all batteries)
2. The cable that hooks to the battery charger can be connected to the camera and will allow you to download all your media to the computer. It's much faster than wifi with large videos.
3. When in the case the audio recording is not good due to the microphone being blocked. Best solution is to record audio to a separate device and sync to the video later. Or hold the camera and not use the case at all. (This is the case for any brand of action camera.)
4. Heat! Direct sunlight in the summer months for a long period of time can cause over heating issues with the camera and you could lose your recording if it randomly shuts off. Try to find a way to keep it shaded. (This is the case for any brand of action camera.)
5. The knobs used for the accessories are hard to get tight enough by hand. You can use some pliers and tighten them just enough to keep it in position. But don't over do it. It's just plastic :)
Enjoy! It's a fun camera!
This little camera has been absolutely fantastic! I bought this based on the reviews and that the fact that I didn't wanna pay the high price for a go pro. I'm on a snorkel trip right now And am very pleased with the battery life, the picture quality and the connectivity to my phone. Hopefully this continues to impress me but as of right now I love this camera! I bought the camera, accessories, extra batteries, extra dive housing, 64gb card, extended warranty, etc for way less than just a go pro. Even if the camera does get ruined somehow, I can buy 6 more. BTW i'm going to try the AKASO drone next. Hopefully i'll love it also.
Over the years I've used everything from bullet cams, to GoPro knockoffs, to GoPros.
Last year I picked up the AKASO EK7000 and it took first place for me above all my other cameras while motorcycling.
I just picked up the EK7000 PLUS. AKASO doesn't disappoint! With the new touch screen menus are a breeze to fly through, it still integrates perfectly with my phone via Bluetooth, has the great little remote control, and takes incredible photos and videos. Came with a whole box of accessories too.
For the price, quality, and ease of use I can't imagine go going back to paying for a name.
Good job, AKASO, and thank you!

This is a great action camera. I upgraded from the EK-7000. The viewscreen is now a touchscreen, and it is larger! Now there is a choice of lens angle width (there are four selections). The optics are incredible, and the camera adjusts itself to light or focus (you can set these yourself, too). It works nicely indoors, and well in bright sunshine. New features include time lapse video, and easy connection to my phone with the iSmart DV app. You definitely need a micro SD memory card to access all the features (this one can take up to 64GB). It's now full 1080 HD video. The waterproof case, straps and holders, and an extra battery, make the Pro ready to go and easy to use. AND at a great price. I highly recommend it.
While on vacations, I've used this camera a lot even on land when I forgot bring with me my phone while visiting the jungle ruins of Guatemala. I've shot it in tropical island and rain forest of South as well as snowy city of North. I've shot it while snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, and biking. I'v shot it standing still or in the moving car. I've shot it in indoor
as well as outdoor as if I was using it as my camera phone. I am generally disappointed with the quality of photo It took. Quality seems poor compared to the same photo if taken by a phone camera. I can related to other reviewer saying "Too dark in low light, too light in high light. And even with no filter looks like it has some annoying filter." I've posted some of underwater video and picture with this review, you be the judge.
However, the camera is tiny and comes with a ton of mounts and accessories including underwater casing. Unfortunately, the casing got fogged up while underwater for a little longer. This affects the quality of footage, Ouch. This product also comes with 2 battery packs which is handy because the single battery doesn't last very long. I also like wireless network that let you connect your phone to and then download or view the pictures and video from your phone. Touch screen display is also a plus.
I am not sure this product deserves 5 star review from me, but I want to "Get FREE Accessories" like everyone else.
This camera is great! We purchased an earlier version for my nephew as a gift, so when we had the opportunity to try out an upgraded version we jumped on it. I liked the version we got for my nephew but the added touch screen is a HUGE bonus. I am really excited about the quality of the pictures and videos, and it came with a ton of accessories and mounts including a remote with a wrist strap. The app makes it super easy to transfer videos to your phone or tablet. My one criticism is that the camera came with no user manual, just a link to an online copy and a qr code to scan to get to it. That would be fine by me, except that the link didn't actually work and said "page not found". However the qr code scanner did work fine.
First I would like to say not pictured in my images is the battery charger and the 2 batteries this package comes with. I was using the camera at my Mother's house and left my batteries there by accident but just look at how many accessories comes with this!!
Now, let's just keep it short, simple and to the point! This camera is amazing. I have always wanted a Go Pro, always always always but that price point is just so steep, but then I came across this AKASO EK7000 Pro 4K Action Camera. With 4k video quality and a 16 MP camera, this tiny camera is perfect for any occasion. The touchscreen works well, without lag and the zoom feature works really well also! I have only used it at my son's basketball games and on his field trip in school so far but I can't wait to use this during the Spring/Summer coming up for family vacations and such.
If you are looking for an inexpensive camera with all the benefits of a Go Pro, then this is it! Not only that, you can use Go Pro accessories with this camera! You will not go wrong! Thank you AKASO!
Perfect bang for your buck
