Rank #5 in Best Action Cameras 2026: 10 Ranked, and One AKASO Sold Twice
AKASO EK7000 Pro 4K Action Camera (40m case)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The AKASO EK7000 Pro 4K is the third camera from the same family in this guide, and the dearest of them at £77.99, with 4.5 stars from 2,087 ratings. It sits £7.70 above the £70.29 EK7000 listing and £27 above the £50.99 one. What the extra money buys here is a different model rather than a different bundle: this one is quoted at 4K/30fps and 20 MP, with a 2-inch IPS touchscreen and a waterproof case rated to 131 ft.
The numbers inside this one listing do not all line up. The bullet points and the spec sheet both claim electronic image stabilisation, with the spec sheet giving the type as 'Digital', while a buyer review printed on this page reports 'there is no image stabilisation' on the same camera. The spec sheet gives a weight of 560 g for a camera it also describes as 'compact and portable, designed to be hand held'. And the five star bars total exactly 100 against a headline figure of 2,087 ratings. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing — we have not tested the camera.
How those 2,087 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon

Questions people ask
What video resolutions does the AKASO EK7000 Pro record?
The listing quotes 4K/30fps, 2.7K/30fps and 1080P/60fps, plus 20 MP photos.
Does the AKASO EK7000 Pro have image stabilisation?
The bullet points and the spec sheet both say yes, and the spec sheet gives the type as 'Digital'. One buyer review on this page states 'there is no image stabilisation', so the listing and at least one owner disagree.
How deep can the AKASO EK7000 Pro go?
The listing says the supplied waterproof case takes it to 131 ft, which is the 40 m figure in the product name — the same camera, two units.
How heavy is the AKASO EK7000 Pro?
The spec sheet gives 560 g, in the same listing that describes the camera as 'compact and portable, designed to be hand held'. Nothing in the listing explains the gap.
What batteries does the AKASO EK7000 Pro take?
The spec sheet says '2 C batteries required. (included)'. No recording time per battery, or per pair, is given anywhere in this listing.
How do the 2,087 ratings break down?
The five star bars work out to 4, 2, 5, 17 and 72, which total exactly 100 against a headline of 2,087 ratings — either the bars are percentages or they cover only 100 of the ratings, and the listing does not say which.
