  • Key Specs
    • Effective Pixels: 13 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
    • Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
  • General
    • Brand: AKASO
    • Model Number: SYA0049-BK
    • Product Name: V50X 4K Waterproof Action Camera with Remote
    • Color: Gray
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 3840 x 2160 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Image Stabilization: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: false (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
    • White Balance Modes: AWB (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 13 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 2 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
  • Video
    • Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
    • Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 120 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
    • HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
    • Slow Motion Recording: true
    • Video Encoding Formats: MP4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
  • Storage
    • Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
  • Compatibility
    • Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
    • Memory Card Compatibility: microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
  • Features
    • Face Detection: false (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
    • Action Camera: true
    • Integrated Speaker(s): true
    • Night Recording: false (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
  • Connectivity
    • Wireless Connectivity: WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)

A: No 3rd party microphone will work as the moved one wire in the connector, but if you manage to get the original microphone, it's pretty cheap and doesn't provide you with quality audio, my best tip is buy it, cut the wire and add a 3.5mm female jack connector, this is super easy. After its done, 2 minutes maximum for an absolute beginner, then you can add any microphone you want.

    Wowed me again!

    I am impressed by this little action cam! I already have another Akaso Camera, a Brave 7 LE, but since I did not use the front screen very much and needed another camera (kids took my Brave - hahaha!) I decided to try the V50X. I am a junkie for cool/well done packaging, you know like Apple products, and this little camera kit genuinely wowed me... they package up this so neat and cool. Always giving off those expensive/high priced vibes. :D Most folks won't care but first impressions to me are the packaging, and they did a great job. Read the directions for how to remove the camera from the display post and you'll appreciate how they even engineered that part well! As far as all the features and settings, time will tell for me. I like what I see so far, and since I'm an old tinkerer and not a video creator guru or anything all the bells and whistles will take me some time to figure out. I like the quality of the pictures and video I'm seeing but you know... your milage may vary in those regards. I like the high-end branded cameras as well but for me and my limited budget these fit my needs. I shot a comparison size picture with the V50x alongside my Brave 7 and you can see that is very nearly the same size... I do wish the battery platforms were shared but they aren't. But no big, this one comes with 2 batteries, and I have not had any problems with my Brave batteries, so I expect these to be as good or better since they are newer tech. Oh, and I was also blown away by all the attachment goodies they provided. Looks like you may be able to mount these things on a spaceship! Kidding, but you do have a lot of nifty attachment options included for you to start using your new kit right away. Be sure and pick up a good quality memory card so that you can get up and running just as soon as your batteries are charged up... Mine were actually nearly full when I got it, so I was up in no time. Anyway, I've rambled... just get one for yourself and see what I mean. And some of you will likely do some comprehensive video shooting and comparing... I'll look forward to seeing other folks' opinions, but I won't back down off the value of this camera to me! Good Job AKASO!

    Very nice AKASO action camera!

    Camera is very fancy, beautiful, and compact. The camera screen is touch screen, so it is very convenient. Connection with App makes me use the camera very easily and functionally.

    Great Camera for the Price

    The price point for Akaso’s V50X is a great option for budgets or new to action cameras. The camera is lightweight and comes with many accessories to meet multiple needs, including two batteries. The picture quality is 4K and not surprisingly very good. Stability has some minor movement on videos but is not significant. The picture quality is solid and captures live shots well, which are shown in the photos. There is no memory card, but prices have decreased. The menu options are clear and easy to use. Overall, for the price this is a solid option for anyone looking for a good and inexpensive action camera
