Hopefully soon 😁

Yes there should be some links in the description for batteries, chargers, tapes, and video recorders so you can digitize your old tapes as well 😄

Oh 100% I definitely recommend looking into a Sony HVR-MRC1 if you want to go tapeless

They take pictures to sd card but they record to dvd. And I have a fisheye I’ll link below. It’s the exact same as the opteka just different name on it. www.ebay.com/itm/296491819775?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ufmp3m6wrmi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ufmp3m6wrmi&var=594424702254&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yeah these cameras had awful video quality when you recorded to the memory stick. You definitely need to record to a tape to get better video quality

No it already deinterlaces the footage at 60fps

@@brandoncameracollection does the 2.0 offer deinterlacing?

@cat_4664 yes

Thanks 😊 yeah these homes were built after ww2 for all the soldiers that came home so they were dirt cheap when they were built but obviously not now days 😅 I’m very excited though

Not that I know of I have a playlist of ways to capture footage and go tapeless if that helps you make a decision 😅 How To Capture Your Video Footage czcams.com/play/PLLCeXl20RsPbMMZhUAIdi5C3HPpPviZ07.html

Yeah you can definitely tell it was cheaply made. That’s awesome you know how to work on older camcorders. You might have to show me a thing or two 🤔

Yeah I used a clearclick video 2 digital 2.0 and they convert there frames from 30 to 60 fps. Not sure how that works but that’s what it states

It should work although my canon gl1 is the only camera my mrc1 didn’t want to work with. So I’m thinking it’s something to do with my camera. So yes it should work fine

Thank you 😊

I think you could how does your hard drive connect?

@@brandoncameracollection usb

No you don’t have to have the battery in to use the camera. If you have the original power supply you can plug it in and turn the camera on as well. The power supply will also charge the battery if the battery is connected to the camera

@@brandoncameracollection do you have any links where i can buy that because i dont have it

@0uuuyay amzn.to/3SbxOei

@@brandoncameracollection thank you

So you are probably thinking of 8mm and super 8 film. Which is much older than these camcorders. So these use 8mm tapes also known as video8, hi8, and digital8. So any 8mm tape that those formats will work

@@brandoncameracollection Ahh, that clears it up. Thanks.

You’ll have to get an av to hdmi converter like this one and also find a compatible av cable if you do not have the original amzn.to/461r9JF

@@brandoncameracollection VERY helpful! Thank you! Obviously don’t have the three prong rca on the camcorder. It’s a single female plug like a speakerphone.

@rjoehidalgo yes if I remember right it’s a specific plug in

No definitely don’t use nail polish remover. Just try to use as close to 100% isopropyl alcohol as possible. I’ve been using 91% and it’s worked ok. You can also use windex but only on the rubber roller. Rubbing alcohol can make that rubber roller dry out and crack. I haven’t had it happen but I’ve heard it does.

The play button won’t work now?

Thank you 🙏 😊

Either the av or s-video cable

@@brandoncameracollection thanks bossman your vids have been a huge help they finally restocked the powerplay, idk why my ion isn’t reading my camera, but I’m just gonna hold off till the powerplay comes in. Much appreciated

@kevinjevin1508 do you have the ion video 2 SD?

@@brandoncameracollection it’s the ion video 2 pc I got it really cheap off eBay and it says something about the disc not being supported after I download the software. I had to use some old laptop because mine doesn’t have CD player not really sure why, but the power play is coming in today very hyped for it.

Yeah I heard that too. I thought the Sony vx700 was the first consumer mini DV camcorder because it was supposed to be the consumer version of the vx1000 and they came out in 1995

I don’t think it will. I’m pretty sure I tried it with my 58mm and it didn’t work. But the 37mm I have worked. So I recommend getting a 37mm or a 43mm. Those are the same sized fisheye just different sized threads. And since they are smaller than the 58mm you will have a much wider field of view. Since this camera has a 49mm lens thread if you put a bigger fisheye on it will look more like a wide angle than a fisheye. That was a bit of a ramble but hopefully that made sense haha 😅 www.ebay.com/itm/296491819775?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ufmp3m6wrmi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ufmp3m6wrmi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I know you can take pictures to the tape. Which is pretty much like a screenshot

Yeah the Sony trv camcorders that end in 7 all seem to be almost the same cameras. Not sure why they did that. But yeah hi8 definitely doesn’t look as good as modern cameras. But hi8 and mini dv seems to be the most popular “retro” formats at the moment. But the old video look is what makes them so fun to use. You may be able to mimic the look but you can’t mimic the experience of filming with a retro camcorder😁

Is the screen just black when you turn it on?

@@brandoncameracollection Yes,I have tried every thing, I am trying to make a found footage video.

Ok and can you see icons on the screen? Can you still access the menu and all that?

@@brandoncameracollection I think it was just broken because it’s had a history of being broken, so I bought a relatively new one and it works great, but can I ask some advice on getting the videos form the camcorder to my computer?

@HUD_SPUD yeah I had problems trying to transfer video to my computer as well. You should be able to connect it through USB 2.0 but my computer didn’t like it

Yeah that’s weird I’ve had that happen with the clearclick 3.0 but not the 2.0 but I’m thinking they just have issues with certain camcorders. But I have yet to figure that one out. Maybe shoot clearclick an email about the issue. They are usually really good about helping out with problems.

As long as it has 4 pin FireWire port yes

It should show on screen. Make sure the display is turned on

Is it just a blue screen when you try to watch playback?

What the hell are you talking about?

Similar yes
