You’re probably wondering what the VanTop 4K Action Cam has to offer. Well, it has a pretty good performance, produces mega good picture & video recordings and costs only about 100 Euro.
These features make the action camera quite popular. It has a high-quality camera sensor with a maximum resolution of 20 megapixels. Almost all buyers tell only good things about this model, so we took a closer look at it.
Technical features
The design of the cam is by no means boring and stands out a bit from the competing models. There is a large touch display on the back, which takes up almost the entire surface of the back and has a diagonal of 2.4 inches. Here you can configure the most important settings like the size of the resolution, the wide angle and the different modes.
Another advantage over other models is the integrated image stabilizer, which corrects image distortion electronically and makes the image sharp even though it was taken with camera shake.
On the underside of the cam is the battery compartment, a Micro USB port, Micro HDMI connector, the Micro SD card slot and the holder for various attachments and brackets.
In the scope of delivery there are many accessories with which you can fix the camera even better.
Image sensor, resolution and memory
In the video area the highest resolution is 4K and a frame rate of 25 frames per second. You can also set the camera to have only 1080P resolution but 60 frames per second. The maximum frame rate is 120 fps (720P).
Cool is that a camera housing is included in the scope of delivery, which is waterproof up to a depth of 30 meters. When diving or snorkeling, the 170 degree wide angle lens really comes into its own, because the picture is enlarged and the viewer can see more of the dive. The distortion caused by the wide angle is only minimally noticeable.
A 32 Gbyte TF Card serves as memory, which is included in the scope of delivery, which is quite rare. Most cameras do not have a memory card. We strongly recommend to format the memory card before using it!
Menu navigation and recording modes
The menu doesn’t seem too overloaded, you can set all kinds of things here, including the angle of view, resolution and frame rate for video recordings and whether, for example, the image stabilizer should be switched on or off.
Wifi and remote control
Included is a remote control, with which you can start and stop video recordings and trigger photos. The range of the remote control is about 5-10 meters and you can wear the bracelet comfortably on your wrist.
Additionally you can control the cam with your smartphone or tablet. Just download the appropriate app and connect it to your device. You can then watch and download videos live and share them on social networks.
Battery and runtime
A clear advantage of this camera are the two batteries that are included in the delivery. They each have about 1050 mAh and you can shoot about 80-90 minutes of video each, then simply replace the battery and continue shooting!
The battery life is a problem with many cheap models, but with the VanTop 4K action camera it’s quite sufficient and above average.
