It might not be a big deal to you, depending on what you plan on using this camera for, but one of the major downsides is exactly this, there is no video stabilization. If you attach this camera to a bike and ride it on a bumpy path, the resulting video will probably not be something pleasant to look at. You can find an image stabilization option in the settings, but that is only for taking photos. See More
While it's nice to have the camera be waterproof without a case, the Akaso Brave 5 has made some sacrifices. One of those is not having a separate cover for the micro USB port, which is hidden under the same cover as the battery and memory card, making it hard to use since the battery could just fall out with some vibration, harsh movement being present.

It’s a rare sight to see an action camera at this price point that is waterproof without a case. Not only will it be protected from the rain, it can also go as deep as 33 ft / 10m underwater, so this is a good option if you’re getting a budget action camera to record while swimming, surfing etc. See More
If you're looking at this camera thinking it's a great deal, because you can record 4k videos, that's not exactly the case. In reality the highest resolution this camera can record at is 2k which is then scaled up to 4k, making the files say that's what it is. The 2k still looks much clearer than 1080p, it's just something to keep in mind if you're buying this for the resolution. See More
While the camera itself, even if it's made of plastic, doesn't feel very flimsy / cheap, but not only does the thin plastic cover for the battery not look very promising it is even more concerning that there is no cover for any of the ports or the memory card slot. If you're looking to use this in some more active areas, I would recommend using the included waterproof / protective case. You'll most likely lose the audio but the camera will be much better protected from the elements. See More
At this price range, it's almost surprising how much comes with the camera. Besides the carry case and some cleaning supplies, it comes with several different helmet / stick on mounts, a handlebar mount, a waterproof case for the camera and even a remote for the ability to take photos, start recording videos from a distance. See More
The charging port is easy to access and you can charge the camera on the go, while it's recording. This is a good option to consider if you're looking to use this as a dash camera. It's small, portable and even comes with a remote control, so you can record and take photos from a distance. See More
If you're looking for a compact, light camera that you can mount in your car, this is a good option to consider. The YI Lite can be charged while recording and the micro USB port is easily accessible. The camera also supports a looping mode, where you can set it to an interval of time and only save the video if something happens in this interval by pressing the pause button. See More
There are quite a few user complaints about the quality of the in-built microphone of the camera. The issues seem to differ from person to person, but the complaints are usually about low quality sounding audio, buzzing noises ranging from barely noticeable to loud and the microphone picking up a lot of wind noise and even cutting out sometimes for no apparent reason.

In this price bracket, YI Lite is one of the few cameras that have a responsive touchscreen, a bluetooth connection for something like a selfie stick with a remote and a well designed smartphone application. You can create a wifi hotspot in the camera settings and use the mobile application to see a live feed of what the camera’s recording, change settings, start/stop recordings, download files from the camera and even edit them to some extent. See More
In the camera packaging you'll find only the bare necessities: the camera itself, one battery and a micro USB cable to charge the battery / transfer files from the camera. Any additional accessories, like a protective case, a mount for your helmet / bike, you have to buy separately. See More
The video does look sharper, more clear at 4k, but the 15/20fps (frames per second) limit makes it look stuttery. If you were to record at 4k, the resulting video would most likely end up looking choppy and shaky if you, for example, decided to mount it on your bike and go for a ride in the woods. The image stabilization feature is See More
The video quality is much better than the average camera in this price bracket. There’s clarity and sharpness to the image, the colors don't look over-saturated and unlike a lot of other action cameras out there, if you record at 60fps (frames per second), it actually looks like you’re recording at 60fps and not just filling the gaps with motion blur.
