Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
Like many other entry-level cameras out there, the Akaso EK7000 Pro can record videos with resolutions up to 1080p at both 60fps and 30fps. Along with excellent video quality, you also get sharp, high-resolution pictures. With Electronic Image Stabilization, you can take perfect-looking photos regardless of whether it’s a moving or a still object. Say goodbye to blurry photos of fast-moving objects.
The Akaso EK7000 Pro also comes with adjustable viewing angles. The choices you have are:
- Super wide-angle
- Wide-angle
- Medium angle
- Narrow mode
For those who don’t know, the lower viewing angles can be used to capture photos of things you want to focus on. If the photo you are trying to take is something with a panoramic view, such as a grass field or a mountain, then you will need to use a higher angle.
Battery Life
The battery life you get with the Akaso EK7000 Pro lasts about 90 minutes. This may seem a little less, but Akaso does provide you with another extra battery. You also get a USB charging cradle. This extra battery can be used to swap when you run out of the first one when you are outside taking your favorite shots.
Design
The Akaso EK7000 Pro comes with a design that leaves its predecessor far behind. They share the same rectangular shape, but that’s it. The camera has plastic with superior quality to its predecessor, and the camera looks a lot more modern too. Unlike most cameras, the Akaso EK7000 Pro comes with both, a textured front and back. Besides the aesthetics, this can help you get a better grip on the camera.
Dimensions
The Akaso EK7000 Pro measures about (63.3×41.8×31.5 mm / 2.5×1.6×1.2″). The camera is super light too, weighing around only 61 g / 2.2 oz. Despite being this light, the Akaso EK7000 Pro still packs all the features you would expect. All the navigation buttons are still there at their respective places, and there’s also the added touch screen. The buttons are there to navigate the camera when you decide to put on its waterproof case.
Ports
There has been no compromise on the ports either, as everything you need is right there. The Akaso EK7000 Pro comes with a Micro USB, MicroSD, and a Micro HDMI. It doesn’t have a USB-C port, but to be fair, most cameras at this budget don’t. The ports are open and have no cover on top of them so, be careful when near the water.
The build quality of the Akaso EK7000 Pro is also pretty solid considering the price you are paying them for it. The buttons work great, and the touchscreen is like any other smartphone.
Water-Resistant
The Akaso EK7000 Pro is not water-resistant itself and is sure to not take it close to the water without its water-resistant cover. The water-resistant cover, on the other hand, works like a charm. All you have to do is place the camera inside the cover, and then you can take the camera with you on scuba dives.
Once the camera is secured in the cover, you can take it under the water with you at a depth of 40 meters. The water-resistant case can also be used when you are out of the water when it’s raining, or snowing, enabling you to take the perfect photos without letting the weather stop you.
Great for shooting underwater
The feature that makes the Akaso EK7000 Pro stand out when taking underwater photos is how it can take perfect photos even when there’s less light beneath the water. Just turn on the ‘Diving Mode’, and the camera will take care of the lighting for you.
Akaso EK7000 (Pro) Accessories
You will be no short of accessories with the Akaso EK7000 Pro as you get pretty much everything you need out of the box and then you can buy more stuff from both Akaso and other third party brands. The prices of the accessories are also pretty affordable so you will be stocked with accessories in no time.
