1) Good heavens there are SO MANY ACCESSORIES! I love it but also.. how am I going to carry all this around?! I'm going to need to buy a case, because this doesn't come with one.2) There are features in my menu that I don't see in the online manual or in YouTube videos from others. Well, just ONE specific feature that I've noticed so far: there isn't a single "timelapse" menu option which was apparently the camera taking a single photo ever x amount of seconds. The issue as a YouTuber mentioned, is that the camera doesn't stitch those photos together automatically like on a GoPro. You have to stitch the photos yourself on the computer. But I guess that's why AKASO added a NEW timelapse option... Video time lapse! This does in fact result in a video (mp4 file) that is a timelapse fast movie. Yay! On the screen, when in VIDEO timelapse, you'll first see 00:00 and it will update for every 1 second of video you'll have after it's all stitched together.3) Picture quality: from the screen it looks like my car dashcam. Not great. Even though I'm on 4K it looks like a bad quality version of 4K. But that's the tiny screen. Maybe the tiny screen just doesn't have great resolution. When viewing the videos and pictures on the computer... eh, it's alright, but don't think you'll be recording a Hollywood level movie. In semi-good light it already started to struggle. This works best in bright light and then very quickly takes a dip in quality when it starts getting darker. But still useable! The video noise can be decreased with noise reduction software.4) Micro SD card is very difficult to get in. It needs that last tiny little bit of a push that's super difficult. I need to press the edge of my nail against the thin edge of the Micro SD card and most times I'm slipping off it. I'm using a wooden toothpick that has been the most helpful. But it shouldn't be THAT hard to get the Micro SD card in. I use a Micro SD card in my drone and it's nowhere near as difficult to fully insert.4.1) Speaking of Micro SD cards, I know people have mixed results using cards larger than the recommended 32GB. I'm using a "Gigastone 128GB V30 Micro SDXC U3 Class 10 I" and so far it's worked with everything I've tried. Maybe the mixed results are because some people are using older firmware on the camera or maybe certain brands of MicroSD cards above 32GB just don't work.5) It was annoying at first having the power button also be the menu button, but you get used to it FAST and I like that they've kept it simple - less to break. It's a bit annoying that every time I want to get to settings I have to cycle through all the video/photo modes first, but again it's a small price to pay for the low cost of the device and the fact that there is less that can break down. Also, how often would I even be in the menu? I've set it to what I want to use for most all my videos, no need to keep changing it. (Unless the date/time resets when battery dies?! That I don't actually know yet!)It's not the best camera in the world compared to all other action cameras, but at it's price point it's fantastic. And really, in the action camera world, you're not looking to get Alexa/Red quality footage anyway. It's MUCH MUCH MUCH closer to the quality of a GoPro than a a GoPro is compared to a cinema camera. And with a little tweaking in your video editing software, it'll look even better. For a fraction of the cost of a GoPro. At this point I think you just pay for the GoPro name.This is a great camera if you do a little client work and need time lapse footage of something being built or torn down. Or if you like recording your sports adventures.Very happy with this after 1 day (Fingers crossed for the other days!)

I'm not impressed with this camera; "astonished" would be closer to the mark. Purchased this Akaso EK 7000 based on a recommendation from a friend of my wife's, and I just can't believe what this little camera can do for the money we put into it. As a caveat, we're not pushing the camera to the limits of human endurance by skydiving, mountain biking, scuba diving or the like. But it works extremely well for our needs.My wife competes in dog obedience training, and likes to review videos of her dog's performance after trials and matches. Finding someone willing and capable to record her session in the ring on a cellphone is always difficult. Most of the other dog handlers are preoccupied with their dogs, and it's not good ring etiquette to approach too close to the show ring to shoot video, since that will be a distraction. She noticed another handler retrieving a tiny camera from just outside the corner of the ring after her session and asked about it. Turned out to be this little EK 7000, and that handler was very enthusiastic about what it could do. When my wife asked for it for Christmas I was skeptical, so I spent a lot of time researching this and several other cameras. While there were other cameras that were able to do what the Akaso could do, and possibly even more, they were all at least two to three times as expensive. So I went ahead and gave this to my wife for Christmas.We gave it a full practice run-through yesterday, mounting it on a short tripod at the corner of the ring. I used the 1080p 30fps setting instead of the 4K mode to get more storage space and lengthen battery life. Had the camera on for about an hour, shooting about a dozen videos of one to three minutes, plus a number of photos, and with wi-fi on for a while, and off for a while. I tried starting and stopping the camera manually, then used the phone app, and lastly used the remote for a while. All worked well, even from about 20 yards away. Back home I hooked up the camera to our 55-inch TV (via a micro-HDMI cable, not included), and we were both very pleased with the video quality. Since it's a wide-angle lens, people (and dogs) are naturally pretty small at about 15 yards, but the high video quality means that when you put the video on a large screen you can still see all the details. The sound was a little muddy, but a huge overhead furnace was running right over the camera which made audio pickup difficult.The battery lasted for at least two hours with the camera on, and was recording or playing back videos later for most of that time. The little charger will charge two batteries at a time, and seemed to need only an hour to take the battery from fully discharged to fully charged. (Lights on the charger progress from magenta to red to blue while charging.) You can also charge the battery just by connecting a USB cable to the camera, which we did while transferring files to the computer. I used four different video viewers on the our computer to watch the videos, and all showed the clips with no problem. Settled on VLC Media Player to access slow motion and other features.There are so many attachment options included in the box that I can't imagine you won't be able to mount it any where you wanted. I used the frame with bottom and top threaded sockets to mount it to a regular camera tripod, and it worked great. The camera is so tiny that I've taken to putting it back into its waterproof case for additional protection before stowing it in the camera bag.A couple notes: We installed the Akaso DV app on a Samsung Galaxy S5 cellphone. It worked almost perfectly, although at one point I changed modes at the same time I rotated the phone, and that, or some gremlin, locked up the app tight with a black screen. Force-stopped the app and restarted it, and had no further problems. The app itself is great, giving you the ability to start and stop the camera from a distance via a wi-fi connection, (be sure to disconnect the phone from any other wi-fi networks first), and actually see what the camera is recording live. While recording, the camera flashes a little red light on the top of the camera, but it's not visible from anywhere but right above the camera. This means that when using the remote, if you don't keep careful track of your button pushes, you may stop a recording already in progress when you meant to start one. The phone app shows you what the camera is doing, but running the wi-fi on the camera shortens the battery life somewhat, according to the manual. In the mode we were using, 1080p @ 30fps, the video was using about 106mb/minute. Unless my math is off, that means a 64gb card will store close to ten hours of high-quality video. One gotcha is that if you do change out the batteries, the camera forgets the date and time and you have to re-enter that if you want to tag your files accordingly, which is a bit of a hassle.Would I recommend this camera to a friend? Absolutely. Would I buy it again? Only if we lose the little guy, a definite possibility with something so small. I'd better go write our name and phone number on it with a Sharpie right now!

So far everything is nicely packaged. It includes many mount pieces and the water seal case is very sturdy. It also comes with 2 batteries and a dual charger so both can charge at the same time. Unfortunately the camera doesn't come with a micro SD card, but it may have been something I overlooked on the store page so I won't ding for that.I finally have the sd card. Overall I'm happy. There are a good amount of built in options for recording. Nothing extremely intricate but enough to get the job done.There is no zoom capability so be ready to do all that in post. The viewing screen is a bit small but it's definitely helpful being able to use your phone to set up a shot. The menu is slightly cumbersome to navigate with the minimal design of the buttonsbbut it's manageable.It has a very narrow aperture but I like it like that. It's not exactly as crazy to be called fish eye (I don't think) but it I like the angle of projection.I can only comment on the sound quality as sub par, but I have only used it within it's water proof case. Not in water, just in the case (feels safer). It leaves much to be desired but I have other means of recording audio so I am fine with it.This is my first dedicated camera so this is all from an amateur's perspective.Lastly, when you download the compatible app for the camera it offers you a free 2 year warranty, definitely take advantage of that!
