Great action cam for the money.

After reading reviews and watching video recordings on several different action camcorders, I decided to try the Akasa EK700 and I am not disappointed. The video it produces is of excellent quality. I used my action cam to record some fishing video and was glad I did as I caught a largemouth bass over 9 lbs and have it on a video. The attached video is the original video with no enhancements or digital editing except to cut out some portions to shorten the video. I did have the camera in the watertight case so the audio is barely recorded. Next time I will use the camera out of the case. The many attachments that come with the camera make just about any mount you might need. In order to be able to start recording with the remote anytime I wanted to, I turned off the power save so the camera would stay powered on but I did set the display save for 1 minute. The camera uses battery power when turned on, recording or not. I recorded a total of about 8-10 minutes of video and the battery lasted just over an hour. It is a good thing that a second battery is included. There is some distortion in the videos it produces, as is in all of the action cams of this type, but it is barely noticeable in some videos. There are a number of free video editing programs that will correct the distortion. I downloaded Hit Film Express to do distortion correction. All in all, I am very pleased with my camcorder. For a fraction of the cost of a Go Pro, you get the same quality in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this action cam.Read full review
