Dual Screen Design

The Brave 7 LE immediately stands out with its compact form factor and thoughtful features. But the real standout is the tiny front-mounted selfie screen, allowing vloggers to frame themselves perfectly. The Brave 7 LE boasts two screens: one on the back and another on the front. The rear screen is a 2-inch touch display, which makes navigating settings and options intuitive. The front-facing screen is narrower but still useful for vlogging or taking selfies. It helps you frame your shot and check exposure while recording. Having both screens is particularly handy for travel vloggers and content creators who need to monitor their shots while in front of the camera.

Performance

While it may not match the latest 4K video capabilities of some competitors, it still offers impressive 4K video at 30 frames per second (fps)�more than sufficient for most users and vloggers. However, if you�re chasing the ultimate in frame rates, you�ll find faster options elsewhere.

Additionally, it boasts a 20MP sensor for capturing still images.

Remote Control

There are two ways to remotely control the Akaso Brave 7 LE: 1) wrist-watch remote; and 2) app integration.

Wrist Strap Control: The package includes a wrist-watch remote that allows you to control the camera from a distance. Whether you�re capturing epic mountain biking trails or kayaking adventures, this wrist strap ensures easy access to essential functions. With the remote, you can seamlessly switch between video and photo modes, start recording video, or take still pictures without fumbling with the camera itself. App Integration: Alternatively, you can control the Brave 7 LE remotely using the companion app. While the app works well, it might be a tad slow to start initially. The app provides additional features beyond basic remote control, such as adjusting settings, reviewing footage, and managing files. Range and Reliability: The remote control boasts an impressive range of up to 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) without obstructions. Whether you�re capturing action shots from a distance or setting up the camera on a tripod, the remote ensures smooth operation.
