The VanTop Moment 4 is a 4k action camera that can record in 4k 24fps and comes loaded with GoPro compatible accessories, a wireless remote control, a Kingston Class 10 32gb memory card, 2 batteries, and a VanTop backpack.
On my main channel, KevCentral, I feature a lot of Big Box Bikes and focus my cycling on mostly affordable bikes. Therefore, it is no surprise that over the past few years I've tried many cheap action cameras. One of the few reviews where I outright declared a product as terrible was on an action camera. I had given up on an affordable GoPro alternative. I was contacted by VanTop to review their camera. I didn't expect much and told them I used GoPro cameras. They sent the Moment 4k anyway.
As you can see in the review video. Overall, this is a useable camera for mountain bike action shots when paired with a gimbal. That was a surprise, because I have previously never been able to record in 4k using cheap action cameras. Consider me impressed with this camera for what it is. It is a 'useable' 4k camera for those on a budget. It isn't a GoPro or a replacement for better cameras. But it is useable, and the best I've seen under $85.
The good:
4k footage is free of stutter
Light weight
Lots of mounts
Kingston memory card
Chance to get a 64gb memory card for free
2x batteries
Sony TruDepth camera
The lacking areas:
4k is limited to 24fps
CamKing iPhone app doesn't support 4k
Battery life wasn't as advertised (though you get 2)
Electronic Image Stabilization doesn't work well without gimbal
Who this may be good for:
People on a budget that want an action camera, but can't spend a lot
Someone who wants a backup camera for cheap
A camera for projects that may destroy it. Save your good camera
Who it isn't good for:
Anyone that expects the best video and is willing to pay for it
If you never plan on buying a gimbal yet want smooth MTB shots

Very helpful. I just ordered one as a traffic cam for my bicycle rides, based on your review. The Ion Speed Pro I've used since 2016 has been pretty good as a traffic cam, but the Van Top appears to have a little better resolution and weighs a little less.

I use the classic setup BKXC and many POV bicycling RU-vidrs use (hero 4 black, EVO SS gimbal, micover) this combo was pretty pricy as my gimbal was $300 at the time and my camera was $399 new a few years back and those micovers were $30! ($729 setup) I have to say, this footage with this cheap little Cam, a cheap gimbal looks REAL solid for the price. Most people don’t record POV mountainbiker videos for a living, so I think this an awesome option for weekend warriors, chase cams, ect. Awesome video man!

I'm glad to see your new channel. Thanks for your review on the camera. The short battery time would probably be sufficient in a drone. And I suppose with cycling you could be selective on which sections to record using the remote.

Kev central, it’s usable but not all that great, I picked up a 4K rox(Walmart) for about the same price no touchscreen but has 4K and looks smoother less distortions in the frames and a working app. I do want to say thanks for the new channel and I hope this one is as popular as your other and good luck.

Just what I needed. Another Kev Central channel to keep me busy. Hopefully this one is as interesting as the other. Have you ever done a review on the SJ4000 camera? I have one and use it from time to time. It does pretty well for being just handle bar mounted, I don't have a gimbal, with mounting issues and brake lines in the way the video quality is pretty good. It doesn't have all the functions of a Gopro but not a bad deal for someone just wanting to take video.

Based on your review I have ordered the Vantop moment 4. Even with the light saturation and no gimbo it looked okay..I bought it from Amazon for $79.00 which to me is well worth the price. I'll be taking it for a trip next week to Cody,WY. (4-26,27,28,29-19) and let you know how it held up. Thanks for your great Videos, your a real help.

I have the VanTop Moment 3 and the predecessor to the Moment 4 has can shoot 4K at 30 fps. No image stabilization though with the Moment 3 but I do like that the Moment 3 can shoot at 720p @ 120 fps and 1080p @ 60 fps. The Gimbal is a nice touch as the video you take with the Moment 4 is very very good for such a cheap action cam. I usually use my Moment 3 cam for making videos of the students reading and narrating picture books in class. It's safer than using my expensive DSLR and if the Moment 3 gets broken it's not a big deal due to it's relatively cheap price. I'm surprised to see that many products coming out of China are getting to be comparable to N.A. products at a fraction of the price. Great review and nice mountain bike footage on the Moment 4. Well done! Maybe some video mounted on a tripod would be a nice addition as sometimes video shakiness is a often deterrent for some people (as I prefer to use my action cam on a stationary tripod).

thanks for putting these videos up : - ) gotta check out the AEE S70 and AEE 771 action cams they also come with waterproof housing and a pile of mounts these cams seem to work well for a cheap price definitely prices are coming down and quality is getting better for these el cheapo cams I find that 720 is great for most situations, and feel that capturing in 1080 or 4k sometimes just seems like overkill

Hi Kev I come over from Kev Central. I got a little cheap camera like that I've never used it. I need a SD card for it. Mine is a Azzaro HD. I got it free with a bottle men cologne lol. I've had it for months but your review has prompted me to get a SD card and see what I got. It looks just like that one so I'm not too hyped.
@kev-reviews
@kev-reviews 5 лет назад
Congrats on the camera, and thanks for joining both channels. If it shoots in 4k make sure you get a class 10 card. SanDisk extreme is what I use in my GoPro cameras, and probably the best card for 4k footage.
@SonjaTheDork
@SonjaTheDork 5 лет назад
Glad to see this has 1080p60. I've been looking for a good cheap action cam that I can mount to my helmet to use as a dashcam as I am an avid bicycle commuter and have dealt with a lot of idiotic road users. One of my old cameras that's 720p30 struggles to get license plates, and low light conditions aren't great.

I would buy a 720p30fps action cam if it's less than $100 and is reliable. But everyone wants 4k. It's like big box bikes. They make it a full suspension so they make other things cheaper.
