Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I already owned two Hero's. A Hero3, and Hero LCD. With the full compliment of accessories, I spent over $1000 on the two cameras. Honestly, I bought this Akaso believing it to be a throw away. Instead, it has become my "Go To" camera. I race motorcycles, both road race track and dirt scrambles. The simple two button remote is awesome. The last thing you need when diving into a knee dragging 100+ MPH turn is the distraction of trying to figure out if the camera is recording when your trying to work out technique on track day. There's times when out with friends for a day of hard core single track and goat trails I don't want to take constant video, just an occasional single shot of an awesome mountaintop vista, or burst shot some tough obstacle, and switching modes is as simple as just pushing one one of the two buttons, compared to the menu you have to navigate on the hero.. Swapping out batteries is quick, the video is as good as the LCD Hero, and it's even better than the original Hero 3. I hand out the two Hero's to riding buddies, but alway keep the Akaso for myself, as it is the most reliable, easiest to operate, and takes the best video. I can't really think of any negative. The two batteries combined outlast both the heros. The hero's have a fancier menu, and a few more features, but I'm not doing a TV show, all I want is clean video or stills, and don't miss all the extra bs you have to go through on set up. I don't usually give such a universally positive rating, but considering a new Hero will set you back $400, then add accessories, a couple cases, SD cards, and your up to $500. Fot $125 you can get the Akaso AND a well stocked kit, it's a pretty easy call. Once the current batteries wear out on the hero's I'm just going to buy more Akaso's. Going over everyone else's video of the days trails and laughing at each others fails has become permanent part of our weekend rides, and everyone wants copies. I couldn't think of a better way to end the day.
