GoPro cameras are widely considered the best consumer action cameras thanks to their combination of video quality, durability, features, and ecosystem. But they come at a price, usually $300+ for a flagship model. AKASO cams like the Brave 4 and 4 Pro offer a budget-friendly alternative while still packing 4K recording, waterproofing, stabilization, and useful shooting modes. For most casual users, the AKASO models will be “good enough” and save you money. But serious videographers may want the more advanced features and quality of GoPro.
