Like many of the reviews I read in this line prior to buying myself, it won over even newer action cams. Ext mic was the big plus and I'll be mindful of its performance and if they've done any tweaks to upgrade any. As of right now it works like a champ strait from the unboxing. Clear screen, easy touch menu with no fluff and it feels solidly built for a small tech item. Also as mentioned MANY times before is that this camera (or the brave 7 LE when they upgrade it to add ext mic, maybe brave 8?) is the absolute best bang for your buck, feels like a quality small device in your hand, has a very responsive touch screen, and a hearty amount of sensor controls. I did as you are doing which was watch YT vids and reading reviews of damn near every action cam and worried about toothless reviews..regardless, this is a legit highly capable budget cam that is about 90% as good as the latest Gopro at 1/6th the price. I'm not really an underwater shooter but for as deep as I may ever consider shooting I also have full faith from the shared shots and vids that there'll be no qualms jabbing it in the case and blooping right on in with it. So if you've looked this far and are still looking at other budget guys before pulling the trigger, just get this one as it's a very nice little shooter that also comes with gracious and on the spot cust service..has my full faith so far and I'll update any triumphs or tragedies!

UPDATE: Akaso made this right!On 03/16/2021 I was contacted by Akaso support. In short, they were very disappointed my previous experience wasn't satisfactory, and in order to make things right, offered a replacement camera free of charge. The replacement camera was a V50 Pro, which I feel is comparable to the V50X for my needs, and it is working well. Obviously whatever support issues they may have had are being addressed, and customer satisfaction is their goal. Our communications were clear, professional, and amicable. Their currently demonstrated dedication to customer satisfaction is what I look for in a company, and I would buy from them again. As for the V50X I originally bought, it appears they had identified the problem and made corrections to production of new units. They have told me they are NOT having the audio issues in the newer V50X cameras. I just happened to receive an older one that had the issue.In summary, you should be able to buy a new Akaso V50X with confidence in the camera, as well as Akaso .----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------01/04/2021 Original reviewSummary: Audio unusable via Akaso V50X internal mic, or the external mic Akaso specifically makes for the V50X. Neither Akaso or Amazon support were able to correct the issue.Details: Recorded audio level was so low with either internal or external mic that it almost could not be heard at all at full volume playback on either the camera itself, or when the file was transferred to a PC. All camera settings were checked and found to be correct, and most recent firmware was on the camera. Neither Akaso or Amazon support were able to correct the issue.Takeaway: Now seeing many non-Amazon reviews indicating this issue is more common than not. Do a LOT of research before you buy this camera or its external microphone.

This mic works great as a shotgun mic for professional or semi-pro cameras with a flash hot shoe. Most cameras in that category include a 3.5mm jack for microphones. For being a non-powered mic, the sound quality is really good and protects against wind really well with the included deadcat. The included shock mount is a little rigid though and doesn't absorb bumps very well.The confusing part about this product is that it also markets to users recording with a smartphone. If this was 5-7 years ago, this would make a lot more sense. However, phones now do not usually include a headphone jack, which is required to connect this mic. There is no included adaptor so if you intend to record with a phone made in the last couple of years, chances are that you will need to purchase an adaptor separately. That being said, the parts that are included for phones are great! The mini tripod is very solid and has a nice weight to it, and the phone mount even fits around larger phones, like my Pixel 4 XL. And, of course, the phone mount also comes with a slot to mount the mic above the phone, and when assembled, stands secure on its own.tl;dr - I am happy I got this product (as I'm using it with my DSLR). But I still feel the marketing is a little confusing and if they really want to market to phone users, a phone adaptor for audio jacks should probably be included.

In 2020, my house also became my office. Suddenly everyone was meeting online and the need for a mic became more important than ever. I have been getting by with my phone and the mic on my phone for the occasional meeting, but when you meet several times a day with a group of people, a good mic became a necessity. I didn't want to spend several hundred dollars on a mic, hoping that covd would end any day and I would be back in the office. The K & F Concept mic had good reviews and a good price, so I thought I would give it a shot.The mic arrived in a well packed box, with individual parts in a segmented plastic package protecting the individual parts. There was a tripod stand, an adjustable bracket to hold your phone, a bracket to hold the mic, a mic cover to reduce wind noise, the mic, an instruction manual and 2 cables - one for your phone and one for your camera. The cables have labels on each end to indicate where they should be plugged into (camera vs phone). Assembling is easy enough that I didn't open the manual.I may use it on my camera at some point, but my purpose for purchasing it was for my phone and conferencing. When I used it on my Zoom meetings, people could actually understand what I was saying!! It was nice to be able to direct the mic and the phone on the stand and not have to adjust the phone so the mic was picking me up and not the desktop fan. For the money, I really like the mic! Easy to assemble, easy to use and it sounds great!! I can't wait to try it on my camera and maybe even my PC. The mic bracket has a cold shoe that connects to the top of the camera, making it easy to use when recording videos on your camera.

This microphone kit just way surpassed my hopes. I'm not an audio pro, or anywhere near. But I've got a few microphones. One is especially good. When I compared the sound quality of this K&F to my best mic, omg, this K&F is so much better. I'm stunned.Windows has Volume and Boost settings that allow this K&F microphone's gain to be increased 30dB. The reason that matters to me is, I have a least-favorite USB mic which produces only feeble volume. Windows offers no gain control for it. But this K&F can be cranked way up. I mean WAY up. Way louder than needed, without any static or hiss.----------------------------------I've also got a K&F brand tripod for my binoculars which I'm very pleased with.I'll be on the lookout for other great products from K&F.----------------------------------I do have a few gripes about this microphone kit. The mic itself has no on/off switch. I'm using it plugged into a PC. I want to be sure it's really turned off when not in use. Without having to unplug it. Also, the tripod doesn't have a pivoting platform to swivel and tilt the mic. If it did, I could use it as a general purpose desktop phone tripod. Shucks. Also, it would have been nice if K&F would have included a foam wind-noise shield, in addition to the raccoon tail. And finally, the great quality cords that K&F supplied are too short for use with a PC.

This microphone comes with two cables, which is good because I found that different situations required a different cable. I first tried this with my desktop PC, and I discovered that the coiled cable, which says, “camera” worked, but the other one, which says, “phone” did not. My pc has both a mic port and a headphones port. A lot of devices nowadays have a single port for both. My phone, for example, has a single 3.5mm jack. In this case, the, “phone” cable worked. However, I have an adapter that takes a mic input and a headphones input and combines them into a single male end to plug into a jack such as this. In that case, I needed to use the, “camera” cable. If you’ve ever looked at the male ends of the cables for headphones and mics, you might have noticed that there are black bands. Some have 2 bands, others 3. This makes a difference. It’s a little bit tricky to know what you need because things aren’t always clear. Look up stuff like TRS and TRRS, and you can learn about that stuff.Anyway, the mic works, and I was able to get it to work on different devices. The audio clarity seems decent, though I’m not an audiophile. When I played back what I recorded, though, things didn’t sound tinny or anything. What I did notice, though, is that I needed to be fairly close to the mic in order to get a loud enough recording. This isn’t supposed to be a mic that gets attached to your shirt. Granted, if you are vlogging or doing a webex or something, you can probably have this mic within a foot of your face, but if you attach this to a camera to capture the audio from subjects more than a few feet away, I’m not sure how well it will work for you. My tests were limited, but the recording I made from a $7 mic several feet away was louder than the recording I made from this mic a foot away. So your use case would probably be something to consider when deciding whether or not this mic will work for you.

do tej pory jestem bardzo zadowolona z produktu. bez zarzutów.
