AKASO DV

I purchased the V50 instead of a GoPro for the same reason everyone does - $$. Overall I am pleased because it captures video great. Software and firmware is another story - you can see where Akaso cut corners. We could connect wirelessly to view pics and video on the camera with limited functionality. We wanted to view the videos from snorkeling on vacation but we couldn’t view in full screen on iPhone 7 - in portrait the video size is only about 10% bigger so why do it. It crashes randomly and we couldn’t save any 4K videos longer than 2 minutes. We hope the software functions well on other models and that AKASO invests in a QA resource.

I think this is a very good app. It works in all areas except one-importing videos and pictures to your device. Whenever I download a long video to my iPad, it takes a while and some times either the camera or your device dies and it doesn’t finish. The app thinks the video is already imported, but it is not and when I recharge the device or camera, It immediately says its already imported so it doesn’t import it again. I never get those videos imported ever. Please fix.

The hardware is cheap compared to current GoPros but it is more like the Hero4 or 5 in terms of the camera. The app on the other hand is not usable. I frequently can’t connect to the camera. When I do if either the phone or camera are not constantly touched to stay active you loose the connection. This would not be so bad but reconnecting the system re downloads all the videos and you end up with a mess of duplicates to delete. If you plan to use your phone to share video do your self a favor and get a different brand of camera as this application is not makes the system unusable for those on the go.

I give the app 4/5. I only use the app to download the raw videos directly from the SD card when I am abroad. It’s over WiFi so it’s not that fast, but it is exactly what I am looking for. I can also download my DJI footage over the built in app as well. This is faster than DJIs software. Sometimes connecting to the WiFi is difficult, but once it connects it is solid. I usually leave my phone and camera plugged in for an hour and can transfer over 4gb of footage in that time.

When I try to take videos through the app it crashes. When I try downloading a video it crashes. Sometimes it will say “video not supported” when I try to view the videos I already recorded. If I close the app and open again it is flawless for 10 seconds. When I push the camera shutter button on the app it has a loading sign that stays there...then the app crashes. Trying to mount it to a drone and see through my mobile app. Wasn’t worth the camera purchase. Is there another app that is compatible with this camera?
