Every photographer has different needs, from amateur to master, from daily to professional.

You may not use all the functions of a camera, and it is possible that all the functions of a camera may not meet your requirements.


AKASO is constantly improving the version and functions of the action camera and is constantly listening to the real wishes and requirements of AKASO users.


Every photographer has different needs, from amateur to master, from daily to professional.


For you, which function is the most important to you, or the most anticipated? And why?

Many photographers prioritize high-resolution sensors, image stabilization, and low-light performance to capture clear and detailed photos. The immaculate grid ability to shoot in RAW format for greater post-processing flexibility is also a desirable feature.

As a photographer I care a lot about image quality: One of the main concerns of photographers is the quality of the images produced by the camera. This includes factors such as resolution, dynamic range, color accuracy, and low-light performance. Many photographers prefer cameras with high-resolution sensors and advanced Duck Life image processing capabilities to capture detailed and vivid photos.

For me, adjusting the brightness in the camera is very difficult. So I need to focus on 2 player games photo editing.

If there are no online games that convince you enough, then I think cookie clicker will be a great game for you to join. In the game you will find endless relaxation as simple tasks just click and unlock attractive products. And it can keep you playing for hours.

I expect it for driving Mode to stay in the latest Mode and not to start Video as soon as it gets switched on. I do Foto with mounting on Motorbike and wear gloves.

I have the Brave 7. But why, oh why, is it missing the ability to see the view upside down. I use this a lot. Many times I reverse the camera (top side down) to film. This feature has been available on cheaper cameras, and I see it was on the Brave 7 LE. I bought the Brave 7, thinking it was more updated, and I find I can't turn the camera upside down and have the view flip. I would think it woud be a standard capability of an action camera. Can you update the Brave 7 with thsi function in firmware?

A "head" mount to mount the camera under a bar instead of on top.
Off course mounting it upside down is also a possibility, but I can't derive from the manual if it detects this and flips the image screen accordingly. Otherwise a configuration option should be added to set the up/down orientation like on the GoPro.

Feature requests.

Background: I want to make these cams as fixed parts of my (electric assisted) bicycle. They'd be filming in loop mode, to have footage in case of an accident.

  1. Anti-theft: As I don't want to remove the cams every time I leave my bike, I'd like to have a housing like this or a case which can be closed with a small standard padlock and a steel cable / lanyard which can be attached to the bike or other lock. Off course these can be broken but this is way better than nothing. Now anyone can just take the cams.

  1. Auto-recording: A mode where the camera automatically starts filming when powered on or - even better - when usb-power is detected. (A gyroscope or g-force sensor could be added to let it only film when motion is detected).

  2. Extend battery life: add an option to limit charging the battery to 60% and keep it between 40% and 60% when it's powered. Usefull in scenario's where the usb-cable is plugged in almost constantly.

  3. Heat-protection: extra frame that acts like an umbrella to protect the device from direct sunlike while still allowing heat dissipation.

  4. And as posted before: possibility to plug in a usb cable / charge while keeping protection to rain / humidity. I think that the camera's are able to record while charging?

In general: I'd love if these cams can be used as a set-and-forget bike-cam :-)

ND filters (Threaded) especially for the new Brave 7, as the lens cover unscrews.

Remote viewfinder for using with chest mount or helmet mount. Wear watch would work fine but phone is to bulky and expensive to use in adverse conditions.

Yes, it would be a pity, for example, some brand new iPhone or something like that. I, by the way, began to study a new business, found a bunch of useful material and various tutorials https://create.vista.com/solutions-for/event/ for myself in the field of design and the like, in general, I sit and study, practice, do you think this is a good idea?

Which Akaso camera are you talking about? My V50 Pro SE has a tripod mount built in.

I think this is really important as well! Great observation!

Any possibility of having increased optical zoom by being able to change out the wide angle lens with one that is more of a fixed M12 mount (I assume) telephoto variety (i.e. 8mm-12mm)? The current progression of new features already being introduced are extremely helpful, but the inability to reduce the FOV below the current capabilities limits, if not eliminates, current versions' use for specialized apps.

This idea might sound crazy but... what about possibility to add a "battery grip" if necessary, or to add possibility to have a direct power source (like a power bank) when there is a need to use the camera for timelapse?

This is exactly what prevents me from buying an Akaso (Brave 7). I want to use it as "dash"cam for my bicycle and so it needs to be plugged in constantly. With the current battery cap it doesn't seem very waterproof anymore when open.
So a waterproof usb connector to be able to film in humid or rainy conditions while connected to a powersource (like power bank or usb socket) would make me buy it.

I would love to have possibility to attach to a tripod/stick without that clumsy cage.

One of these 1/4"-20 (TPI) plastic thumb nuts and some super glue and you'll be all set.

I just got my Akaso camera and I found out that it is not possible to change the default wifi password of the camera. I found that weird, so after like 1 min google search I found out that all Akaso cameras have the same password by default and not possibility to change it. As the name of the camera gets exposed to all nearby wifi devices each time I want to connect my Akaso camera with my APP , everyone can try to connect to my device and get through since the password is everywhere in google.

I really don´t feel confortable using a camera that can expose all my personal pictures and videos so easily to anybody nearby.

So I would really like a solution to this huge security issue.

AKASO Brave 7 LE needs a firmware update to enable changing the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9.
This is essential!

I just got my Akaso Brave 6 Plus. I'm happy that it supports an external mic, but I'm disapointed that we are limited to just the Akaso lav mic. There are many recording situations where a lav mic isn't ideal.


It would be great to have a USB C dongle that would allow us to use third party microphones.

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. For now, the AKASO action camera is only suitable for AKASO mic. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We'll consider further developing more microphone options!
