Verdict

The AKASO Brave 4Go to product viewer dialog for this item. is a budget-friendly action camera equipped with a 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor that captures 20MP JPEG photos and recorded video up to 4K resolution at 24fps, 2K at 30fps, or 1080p at 60fps. Its primary characteristics include a fixed 2-inch non-touch IPS screen, adjustable viewing angles (170°, 140°, 110°, and 70°), 5x digital zoom, and built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and micro-HDMI connectivity. Main pros include its highly affordable price point, built-in smart gyroscope electronic image stabilization (EIS) for smooth footage, an extensive included accessory kit, and a protective housing that grants underwater waterproofing down to 40 meters (131 feet). However, main cons involve its lack of true 4K resolution (relying instead on an interpolated 2880×2160 pixel output), poor video performance in low-light environments, an inability to use image stabilization simultaneously with custom viewing angles, and a lack of direct live streaming capabilities.

  • Lightweight, compact, and highly portable design that is easy to pack and travel with.
  • Decent battery life for its class, often including two separate batteries in the box.
  • Good overall video and image quality for daytime outdoor activities considering its budget price point.
  • Effective Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) that successfully smooths out camera shake during standard movement.

What customers dislike about AKASO Brave 4?

  • Does not record true native 4K video, relying on lower-resolution interpolation instead.
  • Poor performance and noticeable graininess when shooting in low-light environments.
  • The camera housing feels cheaply built, and the device is not waterproof without its external plastic case.
  • Companion mobile application has poor connectivity, a primitive interface, and low ratings on app stores.
  • Audio quality from the built-in single microphone is generally subpar and lacks depth.
  • Colors appear less vibrant and dynamic when directly compared to high-end action camera brands.
