There are so many sports action cameras out there. GoPro is one of the most known ones of course. The thing is – many people don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on it. Espceailly those that don’t plan on using it on daily basis. That’s why there are so many cheaper GoPro alternatives nowadays. Some of them are really popular. One of them is ASX ActionPro X .This camera is really good , and this is my full review of it :
Video And Sound Quality
The video quality of the ASX action camera is great. The videos look sharp and nice. Many cheap action cameras are well designed and come with many accessories – but record low quality videos. That’s why it’s so important to read reviews online before deciding to buy an action camera, especially a cheap one. Another action camera with excellent video quality is YI Action Camera (Amazon link). I persoanlly think it is as good as the ASX ActionPro action cam, and it has some great advantages in addition.
The ASX sports camera records in Full HD (1080P), and features wide angle lens – which many people will find very useful. It supports MicroSD memory cards of up to 32GB – so you get plenty of storage space. You can save many videos on one of these MicroSD memory cards. Don’t use bigger memory cards since they won’t be supported and can cause problems.
The sound quality is decent as well. If the sound recording quality is important for you – I would suggest checking out the AKASO EK7000 (Amazon link) action camera as well. In my opinion its microphone is much better. The AKASO EK7000 sports camera is very popular and offers amazing value for the money. The video quality it offers is really good as well.
Waterproof
This action camera comes with a waterproof case. Install it (pretty simple process) and you will be able to record really cool videos underwater. There are some action cameras that can be used underwater without any case, but they are much more expensive. Since it does not take too long to install and remove the case, I don’t think it’s a big problem at all.

Accessory Kit
The ASX ActionPro X sports camera comes with an accessory kit – You can start using this action camera right away – everything you need (cases, mounts, clips and cables) is already included (except the MicroSD memory card) . That’s a big advantage. If you buy an action camera that comes without any mounts and accessories – you will probably have to spend more money buying them. And these accessories are not cheap at all. Do keep in mind that you need to purchase a MicroSD memory card separately. The basic 32GB ones will work perfectly (Sandisk’s memory cards are great. I also like Sony’s MicroSDs, they are fast and reliable).
Online you can find quite some ASX ActionPro X reviews .This action camera is pretty popular. Most people seem to really like it. Of course it has some cons – but that’s ok – every action camera (especially this cheap) has it’s own pros and cons. You just need to choose the best action sports camera for your needs. On our website you can find different action camera reviews. We post reviews of super cheap cameras and expensive ones (like GoPro).

I want to buy this to mount on my motorcycle helmet. I read on another website that WiFi is needed. I ride my motorcycle up in the hills where WiFi is not available. I have my regular cell phone internet, will that work? Do I even really need internet to use the camera? If this camera isn\\\\’t a good choice for me, what do you recommend?
You don’t need a WIFI connection in order to use the camera. The WIFI is needed only in case you connect your smartphone to the camera.
Does this camera have slow motion capability?
As far as I know – it does not.

I have the identical comment as Mark above.
Check out my answer to Mark’s comment.
My ASX says \\\\’no card\\\\’ when I turn it on, but I have no idea where de memory card should go, the only compartment I see is for the battery. Where does it go!?!? And as above… Where do we go for customer support???
Without the microSD memory card you won’t be able to use the ASX action camera. The Micro SD slot is located at the side (it says “MicroSD”).
Try reading the manual, maybe? 🙂
I’ve have my share fare of action cameras. I have a Sony action cam, GoPro heroes, and the ion air…. Every camera I have has its own ups and downs compared to the others. Honest to god this camera blew me away. I got it for a buddy of mine who shoots a lot of kayaking, white water rafting, hunting and fishing videos with me and I ended up getting one for myself later. By far the best bang for your buck…. i love my upper end cameras but I wish I knew about this camera before I spent the money on them.
Incredible value for money. Great camera !
I want to purchase this to record my kids sporting events by mounting on a soccer goal, or mounting near a backstop for baseball games. Is this camera the right choice? Price wise it is right in my wheelhouse.
If I buy this from Amazon is it compatible to use in Australia – for charging as far as voltage
I assume that the phone app can only control one ASX at a time? Is there a way to start recording on multiple cameras at one time. I will potentially use this for filming different angles during hunts.
Is there video editing software with this?
Is there a red filter that is compatible with this for scuba diving?
Why am I getting an sd card message to format and then it comes up card error
Try connecting the SD card to your computer (you can use an adapter), and following this :

Why does the video start flashing after about 10 seconds
I am wondering can it live stream to an pad? And does it have zoom feature? I am a teacher for the visually impaired and I am wanting to use some form of small camera that will live stream to an iPad for a student who can’t see more than three feet away. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Hello and thank you for visiting our website. There are many affordable action cameras that can stream live video to Android tablets / iPads. One of them is the ASX action camera. If you are looking for better video quality and overall quality -search for “SJCAM Original SJ4000” on Amazon or eBay.
These cameras don’t have a zoom feature. But since they connect via WIFI to the tablet – the camera can be placed in front of you, and the student can sit far away. It’s wireless – no cables.
I can say for sure that 99% of action cameras have a 1-3 seconds lag. That means that the video will have a delay (because the video has to be transferred to the iPad).. The student will hear you (right?) but see the delayed video. That may be a problem I guess. Maybe more expensive action cameras won’t have a delay, but I’m not sure your budget allows it.
The easiest (and cheapest ) solution in my opinion is buying a webcam (a good one like Logitech C270 or Microsoft LifeCam HD 3000 – they are not expensive and provide AMAZING video quality ) and connecting it using a long cable to a laptop (maybe you can even connect it to an Ipad, if you want me to check out – let me know). This way there will be no significant delay (especially if you buy a high end webcam). And on top of that – the video quality will be at least 5 times better than an action camera like ASX. The student will be able to zoom , that’s a fairly simple thing to do with webcams.
There are very long USB extension cables online (up to 50 foot. But I guess 16 foot [5 meters] will be more than enough), they are really not expensive. So placing the webcam far away from the student (near you) won’t be a problem. Do keep in mind that it’s always best to use as short USB cables as possible (do prevent any further delays and lags).
This is a video showing the video quality of one of the webcams I mentioned :

Please let me know if I can help more. I do have more suggestions, but the webcam idea is the most practical one.
Thank you so much this was very helpful!!!
I cannot get audio ! What do I do ? I have ASX Action Pro X
Please help.
What is the video format on this camera is it easy to upload the videos off this camera onto a phone??
We have the ASX ActionPro-X – 1080P Full HD Waterproof Sports Camera – Wifi/HDMI – 2 Inch LCD Screen – 12 MP 170 Degree Super Wide Angle Lens – Headstrap – 20 Pie. It is not allowing us to record more than a few short videos and around 20 pictures at a time. It automatically deletes videos and pictures when we power it off. Help!
What kind of MicroSD memory card are you using ?
We are using a PNY prime perfomance 64GB card.
Try using a 8GB/16GB/32GB one and see if that solves the problem. If it does – then it’s because the camera does not support 64GB memory cards. If not, then I suggest contacting the seller.
I purchased 3 of these camera Bundles for my older grandchildren. one of them doesn’t work. I can’t find a phone number for who I think is the manufacturer, which is AudioSnax. I Googled that, so hopefully that is correct. Anyway, tried going to their site and sending a message, site doesn’t work either. Any idea as to how to get a hold of this company, or if this is even the company that makes the camera? I believe it is the battery that is defective, but can’t locate a battery for it either.
Try contacting the seller on Amazon. By the way – ASX actionPro uses a standard battery like many other action cameras. Search for “asx battery” on Amazon, and I’m sure you will be able to find a battery (I recommend comparing it to the one you already got so you can be sure it will fit).
I think I have the same problem with mine. Were you able to replace the battery? Is it working?
When I plug my camera in, it works but after I unplug it ( fully charged) it doesn’t turn on.
Can you take video and pictures at night?
How do I hook up the camera to my Android phone? I’ve been trying and cannot figure it out. Please any help would be grateful!!

I’m wondering what model number do I need to order these batteries can someone help please
I Purchased this camera and love it, but im having an issue with audio recording. It seems to pick up my audio without any issues but people standing right next to me, literally right next to the camera it sounds muffled and severally muted. any suggestions? that’s with the water proof case on.
Do you have this problem when the waterproof case in *not* installed? because it is sealed completely, the audio is not as good in most cases (even with more expensive cams).
yes in its case. does it come with an attachment for strapping it to a hat or helmet without the water proof case?
Does anybody know what type of battery this takes and were I could buy one the battery store I go to had a hard time matching one up for me my battery only last about 45 min recording video super bummer
I purchased this camera for my daughter for Christmas. It did work at first but now it won’t charge. When it is plugged in, the red light is on and online it says it is charging, however when it is unplugged it won’t turn on.
I don’t know who to contact. She is so disappointed.
What should I do????
I can not leave the current menu setting to change it, I am sure I am doing something wrong,
or ‘am I? Why can’t ASX give us a decent detailed Manuel. BIG question, where to I get good instructions?
I’m trying to connect this to my computer and it’s not syncing or reading it. Has anyone else had any issues and if so what did you do to solve the issue?
Thank you
