Introduction
For cyclists who want to capture crisp ride footage or add a layer of on‑road safety, the Japanese brand AKEEYO has been moving quickly from the automotive space into sports tech. The AKY‑710Pro is a compact, capable camera that records up to 4K at 28 frames per second or 2K at 55 fps. Launched in late 2024 and recently spotted at Eurobike 2025 in the flesh, this camera promises a balanced mix of image quality, durability, and ride-friendly features without breaking the bank.
Design and build quality
Out of the box, the AKY‑710Pro feels sturdy and compact—built with cyclists in mind. It ships with a 64GB microSD card and a broad array of mounting options, including handlebar, stem, seat post, mirror, or even Garmin mounts. The result is a flexible setup that can be configured to suit almost any bike and riding style, from city commutes to rugged gravel routes.
Durability and weather sealing
With an IP66 rating, the AKY‑710Pro is ready for wet commutes and light rain sessions. During testing under variable Australian weather, the camera kept recording without signs of water ingress, which is reassuring for riders who don’t want to think twice about their gear when skies turn grey.
Connectivity and app ecosystem
The camera features dual‑band Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), enabling smooth live previews, quick playback, and straightforward firmware updates via AKEEYO’s mobile app. Pairing is straightforward, and the app opens up a suite of settings to tailor the camera to your needs. An optional GPS module can be added to log route data and speed, and the timer‑lapse and collision detection modes expand the AKY‑710Pro’s use beyond simple point‑and‑shoot recording.
Performance: video and stabilization
Video quality is where the AKY‑710Pro shines for its price. It records 4K at 28 fps and 2K at 55 fps, offering a crisp option for smooth slow pans or fast‑paced rides. The 8‑MP photos plus a 142° F1.6 lens with HDR/WDR contribute to bright, dynamic footage under varying light. A standout feature is electronic image stabilization (EIS). Even on rough tarmac, potholes, or gravel paths, footage remains impressively steady, making clips easier to share and view. The caveat is that stabilization operates at 30 fps, so you’ll trade a bit of native frame rate for stabilized smoothness, depending on your priorities.
Power, storage, and safety features
Power comes from an 1800 mAh battery, delivering around 5.5 hours of recording at 1080p with Wi‑Fi off. 4K recording or enabling Wi‑Fi reduces runtime, but for most rides, the battery is more than capable of covering a typical day out. The bundled 64GB memory card offers ample capacity, and loop recording ensures older footage is overwritten automatically to keep storage fresh. A G‑sensor adds auto‑locking of important clips after a collision, a safeguard for incident documentation. Optional GPS data logging further enhances safety by providing precise ride data for post‑ride analysis.
Everyday use and value
Real‑world use confirms the AKY‑710Pro is a confident daily driver for cyclists. Footage quality inspires confidence for sharing memorable rides or for evidence if the worst ever happens on the road. The accompanying mobile app makes it easy to view and download footage, turning the camera into a reliable, on‑the‑go media hub. Battery life is commendable, and the diverse mounting options support a broad range of bikes and riding styles.
Verdict
The AKEEYO AKY‑710Pro packages high‑quality video, dependable stabilisation, and practical safety features at an attractive price. Battery endurance, IP66 durability, and flexible mounting choices make it a compelling budget option in the 4K bike camera segment. At approximately AUD$235, it undercuts many rivals while delivering stabilised 4K footage and robust on‑the‑road reliability. While some users might wish for a built‑in light—an echo of competitor Cycliq’s approach—the AKY‑710Pro remains a well‑rounded, value‑driven choice for riders seeking peace of mind on commutes and lasting ride memories on weekends.
