Professional reviewers and editors consider the Brave 4 a capable entry-level action camera, praising its reliable 4K capture, strong electronic stabilization, and versatile shooting modes, while noting the limited 24-30fps ceiling in 4K, weak dynamic range in lower resolutions, and absence of GPS as notable drawbacks for more demanding applications.
Everyday users consistently highlight the camera's great value, sharp stills, and the convenience of the included accessories and Wi-Fi sharing, but they also frequently mention short battery life, occasional overheating, subpar low-light performance, and audio issues as recurring pain points.
Professional reviewers, such as a 2026 YouTube analysis, commend the KJ23Pro for its straightforward button layout, easy menu for clip length selection, solid night-vision performance and the added versatility of serving as both a body and dash camera. They also note the camera's rugged construction and minimal controls as strengths, while pointing out the need for a full manual, the lack of remote or app control, and a somewhat steep learning curve for menu navigation.
Everyday users appreciate the camera's reliability, long battery life, ample storage and flexible mounting options, especially for police, delivery and outdoor activities. Common praise centers on the wide field of view and effective IR night vision, while recurring complaints focus on the absence of a remote control, menu complexity and missing size/weight details.
