You did a really good job on this video! Very helpful. I am really surprised how different those cameras are. I knew there would be some differences but not this big! lol
PistnRods Yeah I think it would be a great little commute camera. It's a shame that the frames shake a bit. Might have to try it on my other mount to see if that reduces the shake.
It's a good traffic/commuting camera, in case some crap goes down. The shake between the two cameras is essentially the same, however because the kitvision doesn't have as wide an angle, the shaking appears more extreme. Good comparison!
DRCsyntax Yeah I think the go pro having a wide angle helps a lot. That's the one thing I don't like about wide angle lens is that everything looks further away than it actually is.
Could you make the bike mount point the other way? I have a pit bike and would like do do some recording with my kitvision that I have got recently, I'm oblivious at how to use it.
I was of the opinion that this camera has only a 480p sensor which is interpolated (enlarged) & cropped to the letterbox aspect ratio. It may be 1280x720 pixels but it is not HD. The big clue is that there is no HDMI socket. It's alright for kids, but unwise to buy immediately before a holiday and expect HD footage. I actually did buy a SJ4000 which I still have.
Good thorough comparison. Night image quality and sky image on kite is near non existent lol. Fine for day though. Dang I haven't done video in like months..I have reasons, but not making excuses - upgraded hard disk and memory and full system reinstall as wasn't responding much to editing lately, plus I had stomach cramps for a week, not nice :/. I'll be catching up with your videos spikey as well as my other favourite vloggers! :)
Good one, Spikey. Thanks for showing us the comparison, it does show that you get what you pay for. The Kitvision doesn't seem too bad for £30, but you can instantly see the better quality and stability on the GoPro, better field of view and exposure. I was going to get the Kitvision so had a look around the Tesco stores down here but had no joy finding any. Now I've seen this, I think I'll pay a bit extra and go for the GoPro Hero.
Phil480 Haha yeah exactly, it just shows you pay a bit more money and you get a whole lot more. Not tested it on the battery life yet but you can change the battery on the kitvision where as on the HERO you can't and the kitvision battery is the same as the go pros battery.
Yo Spikey. I own a Hero 3 and the SJ4000. The image quality on the SJ kncks the socks off the Hero 3. Just watch any rear angle shot on any of the last videos. However - the SJ isn't built the same (so we'll see about reliability) and might not take a mic via USB adapter. I'll have to try. But the SJ is dynamite for ergonomics & image quality. And there are more options (angle, ISO, video quality) than on a Hero 3.
vitaly deuterium It is a shame that some of these cheaper cameras lack the mic input but I guess that's why they are cheap :P. I bet there are so many people that want to get in to motovlogging but it's really the cost of doing it. Because it is an expensive hobby haha.
TheSpikeyBiker It's getting cheaper ! What strikes me is - it's actually possible. For almost anyone. That is a startling fact - if you were born in the seventies......
Γιολδασης Δημητρης Yeah sure thing. There is the SJ4000 which is really good value for money and also Polaroid cube is really good too. also you should check out SoopaBee too. He has a few reviews of cheap action cameras which are really good. :D.
Good comparison video, was pretty obvious the GoPro would win mainly for the reason that it has 1080p video - compared to Kitvision Escape HD5's 720p, i don't think they're comparable as they lie in 2 different spaces in the market: under £50 RRP and £100 RRP, in which space the specs will be completely different and the target user is also very different. Interesting and more relative comparisons would be the GoPro Hero vs the Kitvision Escape HD5W which has 1080p, built in display and WiFi for £80/£100 (on paper beats GoPro) and comparing the Kitvision Escape HD5 to a model of the same price - probably Vivitar.
If its all you can afford or want to spend on a basic camera then the cheapie one has more than sufficient image quality, but overall the gopro is clearly alot better, but of course comes in with the higher price tag. Nice comparison vid Spikey, RS! x
Bex88 Thank you :D. Yeah I think the go pro wins hands down but if your new to motovlogging and not sure if it's your thing or not then the cheap one is the right way to go because it can become a really expensive hobby.
the track review you can't really compare, it's the same as photography the natural light changes every couple of minutes so every picture will have a different light scene. apart from the stability of the video the kitvision matched up with the quality of the trees etc.. the garden also I really can't see why people would pay the extra ££££ when to be honest to the average Joe you could not really tell the difference, for £30 it's a good match for the cheaper ends of the go pros. unless your will buy the more expensive go pros I would just stick to the cheaper kitvision camera,
+PlayAndroid Yeah with out a doubt. It's a great camera for if your just starting out. And I gave that camera to my friend in France and it still is working to this day. And if I am honest it has less vibration on his bike and gives a better quality picture than it did on mine.
If i remember correctly when i had the camera you can take the date and time off in the settings. I just got the camera and started testing it straight away.
Tbh mate it was no match for the gopro. The kitevision reminded me of the 1st gen action bullet cameras with no brand that were popular in the late 2000s. Ever since 3-5 years ago all the cameras have become way superior
Go pro looks like it has a much wider angle but for the money a good little camera although I think I would spend the extra and go for the gopro rs dude
For 30 pounds I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the go pro but it's not bad for the price. And I'm amazed what you can get for not so much money now days. Child labour ftw lol.
Well, obviously the GoPro was superior. But being an SJ4000 user myself, I have to say that the Kitevision was far inferior to the SJ4000. I have two cameras that I mainly use. An SJ4000 and a TCL SVC200. I almost always go with the SJ because the quality is absolutely incredible! While it can't do 60 frames per second, the clarity and crispness of video images is wonderful! In my opinion anyway.
SoopaBee i use sj4000 and cant fault the video, sound is crap for biking but i just use my iphone for external sound recording The mic in the sj is fine without any windnoise but you cannot buy a better camera for 40 quid
No comparison really! It looks like the Escape shoots in a very low frame rate. But for its price, a very good third party witness cam. At the end of the day, I will be sticking to my Go-Pro for filming my POV pornographic material!
Great video @TheSpikeyBiker! We're pleased you're enjoying your Kitvision Escape Camera! We'd love to send you some accessories as a thank you! Please go to our facebook page facebook.com/KitvisionUK/ and send us a message with your address and we'll send you some goodies! #LiveRecordRepeat
+KitvisionUK Thank you very much. I appreciate the time you took to watch this video too. I will get in contact with you via facebook. Thanks again :D.
Sj4000 runs upto 60fps & 1080p the HD5 IS MAX at 30fps only on 720p Sj is on .MOV HD5 is in AVI I prefer the Sj it's 50 times better than the HD5 IMO HD5 is rubbish for an extra £9.99 you can get a Sj4000 go pro are overated and by the news they are losing revenue because of new contenders. SJ is best but the HD5 is ideal for easy footage. SJ can beat Go pro.
Check again SJ5000 does 60fps doesn't mean shit these days as 4K is getting better. My 4000 runs at 720 60fps. Cheers for pulling the error out. Wait till you see what the SJ10 Can do that thing is on its way. I've had a 4000 For 5 years it's just started to get a sound problem. Sj gave me a new one. GP are not helping the customers as they are all losing money.
Rc-Nerd I've actually just ordered an SJ4000 but I know that it doesn't have true 60fps. The SJ4000 records at 30fps but doubles each frame, not true 60fps
Which cam are you using for the main video at the beginning please? Quality is very good
You did a really good job on this video! Very helpful. I am really surprised how different those cameras are. I knew there would be some differences but not this big! lol
Haha yeah very big differences indeed. Thanks bro. I have no Idea why I called it kitevision though haha.
For a cheap camera, it wasn't that bad and would be great for a new vlogger.
Great comparison; well-done.
Never have i ever scared myself by watching a video filmed virtually outside my house
😂😂
That pov view makes me want to get my bike out again. *Where did I put that duster.
The kitvision makes the sky look like water lol. You're right not even close to the same, but i think it would be fine for running as a commuting cam.
PistnRods Yeah I think it would be a great little commute camera. It's a shame that the frames shake a bit. Might have to try it on my other mount to see if that reduces the shake.
It's a good traffic/commuting camera, in case some crap goes down. The shake between the two cameras is essentially the same, however because the kitvision doesn't have as wide an angle, the shaking appears more extreme.
Good comparison!
DRCsyntax Yeah I think the go pro having a wide angle helps a lot. That's the one thing I don't like about wide angle lens is that everything looks further away than it actually is.
Welcome to Warrington 😆. What camera where u filming with at the start? Quality is awesome!
+Curtis Wignall Thanks mate haha. That will be the go pro 3 :P. But they are pretty cheap now anyway.
Could you make the bike mount point the other way? I have a pit bike and would like do do some recording with my kitvision that I have got recently, I'm oblivious at how to use it.
Did you manage to connect the Kitvision Escape to your phone so that you could use the latter as a view finder? I tried the Ez iCam App to no avail.
No unfortunately not
I was of the opinion that this camera has only a 480p sensor which is interpolated (enlarged) & cropped to the letterbox aspect ratio. It may be 1280x720 pixels but it is not HD.
The big clue is that there is no HDMI socket. It's alright for kids, but unwise to buy immediately before a holiday and expect HD footage.
I actually did buy a SJ4000 which I still have.
Yeah I agree it's a good starting block but not for something more serious.
This is REALLY helpful! I'm looking for a standard dashcam for my mum atm so this is impeccable timing :D
Yeah I got it on offer from tesco so I don't know if they are still there or not. Good little camera for the price.
Cheers spikey, hope you find a good home for the Kitvision, maybe another competition ;>)
Haha you never know :p. I suppose it would be good for someone else to get some good use put of it.
good video Spikey. always good to get a comparison. good back up??
Good thorough comparison. Night image quality and sky image on kite is near non existent lol. Fine for day though. Dang I haven't done video in like months..I have reasons, but not making excuses - upgraded hard disk and memory and full system reinstall as wasn't responding much to editing lately, plus I had stomach cramps for a week, not nice :/. I'll be catching up with your videos spikey as well as my other favourite vloggers! :)
Nick Islington Biker Yeah the night vision is just pants haha. I know I haven't seen anything from you in ages :O. Thanks mate :D.
Good one, Spikey. Thanks for showing us the comparison, it does show that you get what you pay for. The Kitvision doesn't seem too bad for £30, but you can instantly see the better quality and stability on the GoPro, better field of view and exposure.
I was going to get the Kitvision so had a look around the Tesco stores down here but had no joy finding any. Now I've seen this, I think I'll pay a bit extra and go for the GoPro Hero.
Phil480 That being said, what is the battery life like in comparison?
Phil480 Haha yeah exactly, it just shows you pay a bit more money and you get a whole lot more. Not tested it on the battery life yet but you can change the battery on the kitvision where as on the HERO you can't and the kitvision battery is the same as the go pros battery.
TheSpikeyBiker Ah yes. I'll have to consider the options. I may even save up the pennies and get a Ghost S and use my Ghost as my second camera.
Haha yeah I would have to agree on saving up the pennies. And by the time you have saved enough then it might have gone down in price.
Yo Spikey. I own a Hero 3 and the SJ4000. The image quality on the SJ kncks the socks off the Hero 3. Just watch any rear angle shot on any of the last videos.

TheSpikeyBiker It's getting cheaper ! What strikes me is - it's actually possible. For almost anyone. That is a startling fact - if you were born in the seventies......
is it gopro hero3 or 4??
thanks for a good review :) cheers!
+Eric Rosén The one on my helmet is the go pro hero 3 but the one which is on my bike is just the HERO go pro.
Great review video Spikey bro! We all knew the GoPro would win ;) Good job I have my trusty GoPro xD
JamesTheBiker Haha yeah good old go pro :D. Thanks mate :D.
Np Spikey bro ;)
could you give me some suggestions of value for money budget action cameras... i can't afford a Gopro and i am desperate.....thanx a lot
Γιολδασης Δημητρης Yeah sure thing. There is the SJ4000 which is really good value for money and also Polaroid cube is really good too. also you should check out SoopaBee too. He has a few reviews of cheap action cameras which are really good. :D.
You should definitely remake that intro on the beneli!
That was one of my favourite intros I did 😂. When I first started playing around with editing more. Definitely would like to do an intro again
@@SpikeyOfficial I love that one, I hope the engine was warned up though 😂
@@alexonwheels4190 Yeah she was 😂
Good comparison video, was pretty obvious the GoPro would win mainly for the reason that it has 1080p video - compared to Kitvision Escape HD5's 720p, i don't think they're comparable as they lie in 2 different spaces in the market: under £50 RRP and £100 RRP, in which space the specs will be completely different and the target user is also very different.

Matt Holden Thanks mate :D. Yeah that is very true. Compared to the Vivitar it would win hands down.
The cheap camera could make a good rear facing angle. the GoPro for the main camera. RSM8
***** Yeah that's true. thanks kev :D.
nice video mate love the gopro Hero .. keep it up
^_______^
Zazo Moto Vlogs Thanks mate :D. Yeah the go pro is great :D.
If its all you can afford or want to spend on a basic camera then the cheapie one has more than sufficient image quality, but overall the gopro is clearly alot better, but of course comes in with the higher price tag. Nice comparison vid Spikey, RS! x
Bex88 Thank you :D. Yeah I think the go pro wins hands down but if your new to motovlogging and not sure if it's your thing or not then the cheap one is the right way to go because it can become a really expensive hobby.
Haha yeah you're right there. That along with riding = pricey! :)
how do i charge it? i can only plug it in my computer i cant charge it like phone etc? i need help please!
the track review you can't really compare, it's the same as photography the natural light changes every couple of minutes so every picture will have a different light scene. apart from the stability of the video the kitvision matched up with the quality of the trees etc.. the garden also I really can't see why people would pay the extra ££££ when to be honest to the average Joe you could not really tell the difference, for £30 it's a good match for the cheaper ends of the go pros. unless your will buy the more expensive go pros I would just stick to the cheaper kitvision camera,

Kite seems shaky without the wide lens
What’s the song at the beginning
Its escape hd5 or hd5w???
Good Vid Spikey!
Renegade1987 Thanks mate :D.
Does the date show up when you edit the video?
If i remember correctly when i had the camera you can take the date and time off in the settings. I just got the camera and started testing it straight away.
getrekttom thank you!
yes, mine is really cheap but still rly good
Sooo helpful in 2019
😁
Tbh mate it was no match for the gopro. The kitevision reminded me of the 1st gen action bullet cameras with no brand that were popular in the late 2000s. Ever since 3-5 years ago all the cameras have become way superior
Yeah I know It didn't stand a chance against the go pro lol. Just shows where that money goes in to.
i was only down that road yesterday :) i would say it is worth paying the extra for the GoPro
Lol its a nice place to go. Yeah it's well worth saving the money up.
Go pro looks like it has a much wider angle but for the money a good little camera although I think I would spend the extra and go for the gopro rs dude
For 30 pounds I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the go pro but it's not bad for the price. And I'm amazed what you can get for not so much money now days. Child labour ftw lol.
Wow, the gopro is really better quality. A lot more stable image, no image waves.
Yeah the go pro was so much more stable.
no kitvision is wayyy better he just used the settings wrong
For 100 quid I'd go for the go pro even if it was just used as a 2nd cam.
wyvernbiker Yeah it just shows where the money goes haha
The Mobius V3 is as good if not better than these. eBay job £80. Can't go wrong...
I would say it is definitely worth buying the go pro
Bonglord Haha yeah I agree.
Well, obviously the GoPro was superior. But being an SJ4000 user myself, I have to say that the Kitevision was far inferior to the SJ4000. I have two cameras that I mainly use.

While it can't do 60 frames per second, the clarity and crispness of video images is wonderful! In my opinion anyway.
SoopaBee Yeah that is true. I think the sj4000 has a wider angle too. So many cameras to choose from now days which is a good thing.
SoopaBee i use sj4000 and cant fault the video, sound is crap for biking but i just use my iphone for external sound recording
The mic in the sj is fine without any windnoise but you cannot buy a better camera for 40 quid
The kitvision was my first cam
No comparison really! It looks like the Escape shoots in a very low frame rate. But for its price, a very good third party witness cam. At the end of the day, I will be sticking to my Go-Pro for filming my POV pornographic material!
Lol yeah go pro wins hands down. Need the best possible camera for all that pornogrphic goodness :p
i love my kitvision escape
Great video @TheSpikeyBiker! We're pleased you're enjoying your Kitvision Escape Camera!
We'd love to send you some accessories as a thank you! Please go to our facebook page facebook.com/KitvisionUK/ and send us a message with your address and we'll send you some goodies! #LiveRecordRepeat
+KitvisionUK Thank you very much. I appreciate the time you took to watch this video too. I will get in contact with you via facebook. Thanks again :D.
Hi KitvisionUK, just bought a KitVision Escape HD5 and i must say, it's great! Thanks.
Kitvision I just bought one of your items
I must say accessories are cheap camera good quality
sj400 ( original one ) is much better than kitvision...
Sj4000 runs upto 60fps & 1080p the HD5 IS MAX at 30fps only on 720p
Sj is on .MOV
HD5 is in AVI I prefer the Sj it's 50 times better than the HD5 IMO HD5 is rubbish for an extra £9.99 you can get a Sj4000 go pro are overated and by the news they are losing revenue because of new contenders. SJ is best but the HD5 is ideal for easy footage. SJ can beat Go pro.
SJ4000 doesn't actually do 60fps though
Check again SJ5000 does 60fps doesn't mean shit these days as 4K is getting better.
My 4000 runs at 720 60fps. Cheers for pulling the error out. Wait till you see what the SJ10 Can do that thing is on its way. I've had a 4000 For 5 years it's just started to get a sound problem. Sj gave me a new one. GP are not helping the customers as they are all losing money.
Rc-Nerd I've actually just ordered an SJ4000 but I know that it doesn't have true 60fps.
The SJ4000 records at 30fps but doubles each frame, not true 60fps
ye i know but its better than you think i use it for everything
Whats better SJ4000 or KitVision Escape HD5W
I have kitvision
not too much of a difference
sj400
If I use my phone I got better quality and stabilization then that shit Kitevision , and I have a potato phone !
