AKASO EK7000 Pro, 4K 30 fps, 40 m, four view angles, floating grip review
An established name at ninety-three euros, selling a touchscreen, three video modes and four selectable view angles — described by name rather than in degrees — with a floating grip in the box.
The bottom line A well-equipped camera with a touchscreen, real angle control and a floating grip, on a page that says nothing whatever about its battery. At ninety-three euros that silence is the thing to weigh, because it is the one specification a day in the water depends on.
On the listing
An updated EK7000 series camera offering 4K at 30 fps, 2.7K at 30 and 1080p at 60 with 20 MP stills; a 2 inch IPS touchscreen described as clear and bright for changing settings, switching mode and previewing; built-in electronic image stabilisation for stable, smooth video; an improved housing rated to 40 m for diving; and four selectable view angles named super wide, wide, medium and narrow. The title adds a floating hand grip and a bag.
Angle control, which is rarer than a zoom
Four view angles, chosen on the camera. This is not a digital zoom: it changes how much of the sensor is read, which is what removes the barrel curve a very wide lens puts into a horizon. Most cameras on this shelf offer one angle and a crop.
What the page never does is measure any of them. Super wide has no number, so it cannot be compared with the 170 degrees published on either side.
The touchscreen
Two inches, IPS, described as bright. It is a real advantage on a camera that spends its life in a case, because settings can be changed without guesswork, and the cheaper cameras here make do with a plain panel.
The gap
No battery information of any kind. Not a capacity, not a runtime, not whether a spare exists. Four of the eight cameras around it supply two cells and say so in the title. For a camera sold for diving, at this price, that is the omission that would decide me.
The floating grip
Named in the title with the bag, and the most useful thing in the box for water. A camera let go in a lake with this attached stays on the surface.
Availability
Between 93 € and 110 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.
The British Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.
Listed in the American Amazon catalogue with nothing on sale against the entry: the camera has a page there and no seller behind it.
Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

What it does well, and what it gives up
Strengths
A 2 inch IPS touchscreen, stated as bright and clear, where most cameras here give a plain LCD
Four selectable view angles, which is a real framing control and not a digital zoom
A floating hand grip is supplied, so the camera can be dropped in water without sinking
Compromises
Nothing at all about the battery — no capacity, no runtime, no mention of a spare
The four view angles are named and never measured, so the widest cannot be compared with the 170 degrees published around it
EIS is claimed with no figure and no statement of which modes keep it
Specifications
Waterproof claim
40 m, in an improved housing, stated in the fourth bullet and named for diving
Video resolutions
4K, 2.7K and 1080p, stated in the first bullet with their rates
Frame rates
Three combinations: 4K at 30 fps, 2.7K at 30 and 1080p at 60, stated in the first bullet
Stabilisation modes
Built-in EIS, stated in the third bullet as keeping video stable and smooth. No stop figure, no mode list and no resolution condition is given
Field of view
Not published in degrees — the fifth bullet offers four selectable angles named super wide, wide, medium and narrow, and never attaches a number to any of them. Six cameras on this shelf publish a figure; this one publishes a vocabulary
Mount interface
Not published as a standard — a floating hand grip and a carry bag are named in the title, and no fitting pattern is stated
Battery life
Not published on the listing — five bullets cover the modes, the screen, stabilisation, the housing and the view angles, and no battery capacity or runtime appears at all
Battery removability
Not published on the listing — no cell is named, so whether one can be swapped cannot be read here

What people ask before they commit
What is a floating hand grip for?
It keeps the camera at the surface if it is let go, which on open water is the difference between a wet camera and a lost one. The title lists it with a carry bag, and for swimming or snorkelling it is the most practical accessory on this shelf — more so than a remote, because the grip is also how the camera is aimed.
How wide is super wide?
The listing does not say, and that is the gap in this page. Four angles are offered by name and none is given in degrees, so the widest cannot be set against the 170 degrees the cameras either side of it publish. The control itself is genuinely useful — narrowing the angle removes the barrel distortion a very wide lens produces — but its range cannot be read here.
1/1.3 inch sensor, the only one published on this shelf · 4K at 120 fps · 155 degree ultra wide · 10-bit and D-Log M · 360 degree HorizonSteady, three stabilisation modes · cold resistance to -20 °C · magnetic quick release · one battery supplied · no waterproof depth published
The only action camera here to publish a sensor size, and the only one with a magnetic mount and a stated cold rating — while never printing the waterproof depth that eight of its nine rivals lead with.
Best for: Footage that will be graded afterwards, in cold or poor light, by someone who already owns mounts or will buy the magnetic ones.
No waterproof claim · 1080p · 1 inch display · magnetic mount with 180 degree adjustment · 26 g · 350 mAh built-in battery, 120 to 180 minutes stated · 16 GB card supplied · loop recording · no app or WiFi needed
A 26 g body camera rather than a sports camera: magnetic, screenless in all but name, with a built-in battery the maker rates at 120 to 180 minutes and no waterproof claim at all.
Best for: Wearing on a jacket or a helmet for a commute or a shift, where the magnet and the weight matter more than depth ratings.
86 g · waterproof to 5 m with NO housing · 4K Ultra HD · 12 MP stills · touchscreen LCD · built-in mounting fingers · 35 per cent smaller and 44 per cent lighter than HERO12 Black · curved adhesive mount, buckle and thumb screw supplied · no frame rate published
The dearest camera on this shelf and the lightest at 86 g, waterproof to 5 m with no case at all — a figure that reads worse than its rivals and measures something entirely different.
Best for: Everyday carrying and rough weather, where a sealed 86 g body on a huge mount ecosystem beats a deeper case.
