Know how to take care of your action camera now!

You are not the only one who gets tired and wears out after a tiring but satisfying day of doing your favorite sport or hobby. Your action cam also receives the same stress load from your activities more or less. This is the reason why proper maintenance and care of your device is a very important step to have an action camera. Not only do you need it to extend its life, but it will also allow you to enjoy high quality video recording more.

Here are some essential tips and trade secrets you can follow to keep your action camera at its best.

1. Immediately clean your camera after use. The sand, grime, and water trapped on its surface can cause damage to your hardware if you leave it there for too long. Remove the casing since it is the one with the most dirt and clean it with tap water.

2. Here's a quick trick you can try if you don't want to wait for the case to dry. Get a hair blower, put it in its coolest place, and use it to dry your case after you've shaken off the excess wash water. Using a rag towel is not recommended here because it can scratch the surface if rubbed incorrectly.

3. After the case, remove your lens as carefully as possible. Handle it carefully because even a small scratch can compromise the quality of your images and videos. To clean this, use only the special lens cloth and zoom lens cleaning fluid.

For something extra, get a sterile Rain-X car windshield and spray a bit on your lens and inside part of the camera housing. This will make the dirt come off your case easily on your next use and it will also prevent the appearance of bubbles in front of your lens when shooting underwater. Wipe off excess solution and wait for the rest to dry.

4. To clean the body of your AKASO action camera, again use a lint-free cloth and lens cleaning liquid to remove dirt. Do not pour the liquid directly into the body of your camera, as it can cause damage when used in large doses. Instead, pour sparingly onto the cloth and simply use it to clean the exterior of your camera.

5. Although many think it is not that important, cleaning the camera bag is also very important. You may end up scratching your device anyway if you leave it dirty with sand and other grime. So before replacing the camera, be sure to clean the inside of the bag first.

These tricks can help you take care of your action camera. Follow them and you will enjoy the performance of your device for much longer.
