Our editorial take on the Brave 7 LE Action Camera
The Akaso Brave 7 LE firmly establishes itself as a dominant force in the budget action camera market. It delivers a feature set that was, until recently, reserved for much more expensive models. The inclusion of a front-facing color screen is a significant win for vloggers, and its native IPX7 water resistance means you can use it confidently in wet conditions without a cumbersome housing. For the price, the 4K video quality captured in bright daylight is impressive, making it an accessible entry point into high-resolution content creation.
However, it's crucial to set expectations appropriately. While the Brave 7 LE punches well above its price tag, it is not a direct replacement for a flagship camera from GoPro or DJI. The electronic image stabilization, while functional, is a clear step down from the buttery-smooth performance of premium competitors. In low-light situations, video and photo quality degrades significantly with visible noise. This is not the camera for capturing professional-grade cinematic shots, but it is an incredibly versatile and capable tool for what it costs.
- Exceptional value for the features offered
- Front-facing screen is a major benefit for vlogging
- IPX7 water resistant without an external case
- Good 4K video quality in well-lit environments
- Typically includes a large bundle of useful accessories
- Electronic image stabilization is not as effective as premium alternatives
- Video and photo performance suffers greatly in low light
- Audio from the internal microphone is serviceable at best

Pixar has a long history of building new software between projects, but in the run-up to Monsters University, the changes cut particularly deep. As planning kicked in, director of photography Jean-Claude Kalache announced he wanted to change how light worked at Pixar.
It shouldn't come as much of surprise, then, that its creators haven't invested in making the phone visually desirable. A company called SGP Technologies officially makes the Blackphone, but it is, in fact, a joint venture of encrypted-comms specialist Silent Circle and Spanish handset-maker GeeksPhone.
