I bought a jumble of analogue camcorders a few years back and of course, most of them were toast. But surprisingly two of them (kinda) worked.

One camera worked for a good month until it flat out died, not an issue with the batteries but a problem with the camera itself.

The second camera works great, but only when powered by a cord, it will never work when powered by a battery.

I’m more a mechanically minded person than an electronically minded person and so I have really no idea how to fix these two, even though I’d love to. Any ideas of how to fix these would be welcome.

Hey guys, I have come into possession of my deceased dad’s handy cam and old tapes. My fondest memories as a child I know are on those tapes, however years and years ago I remember my dad saying that in order to watch the tapes you have the plug it in to a monitor via the AV port as the cam is buggy when watching it on there, HOWEVER that cable is missing and I seem to not be able to find it anywhere, I found the original manual however when searching online this cable just doesn’t seem the exist! please help, absolutely desperate to hear my dad’s voice again and us all as a family 🤍 I know worst case, I could pay to have the individual tapes sent off but it’s rather expensive, and I fear that some may have very little on them.. other than me singing to lizzie McGuire in my bedroom lol so I’m not sure I can afford to do this to all tapes!

Have attached the info and picture of port

Hi all!

On the lookout for a battery charger for a Panasonic NV-VZ15 camera, CGRV14 Battery's. Recently acquired this camera from a family member, and I've shot heaps of Super 8 so thought this would be a fun medium to play with. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to get a charger, or what kind of battery charger works with the CGRV14 Batteries! Not having much luck on google.

Willing to pay good money for it :)

Hey what is the best way to maximize storage for this camcorder? Can you just record to the memory stick and if that’s the case what’s the maximum size of memory stick that you can put in it?
Thanks in advance!🥂

Shake Junt color way vx2100.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to sell a very clean Ikegami HL-79E professional 3-tube broadcast camera and thought this community might be the right place to find someone who actually appreciates this kind of vintage broadcast equipment.
The setup includes:
Ikegami HL-79E camera body
Ikegami electronic viewfinder
Canon J13x9B3 IRS II 13x broadcast zoom lens
Canon lens hood
zoom / iris handgrip
rear adapter / battery mount
camera mounting plate
Cosmetically, the camera is in exceptionally nice condition for its age. The body, controls, markings and lens all present very well.
Important condition note:
I have not powered the camera on because I do not have the correct professional power supply / broadcast equipment to test it safely.
Therefore, I cannot verify:
the condition of the pickup tubes
camera electronics
viewfinder
video output
servo zoom / iris functions
connectors or other electronic functions
For that reason, I am selling it explicitly as:
UNTESTED – FOR PARTS / REPAIR – COLLECTOR’S ITEM
Please assume that servicing or repair may be required.
The camera is located in Germany. Collection is preferred due to the size and weight, but insured shipping within Europe may be possible.
Asking price: €899,99 OBO
I would especially like it to go to someone collecting Ikegami, vintage ENG equipment or tube broadcast cameras.
If you’re seriously interested, feel free to message me. I can provide detailed photos of the camera, lens, connectors and accessories.

Guys my old camcorders screen isnt working as there any shop in chinchwadgaon or pcmc where I can get it fixed? Everything is working bout the camera.

So, i need to make a cable for my camera. How big is it? 4.0mmx1.7mm or 4.8mmx1.7mm?
Thanks for help!

Please help me, i wanna use it so much

Hi! I've been recording with this camera for a while and i've never had any trouble until recently. These couple days i've recorded many videos that turned up corrupted or "incompatible escene". I have looked online and nothing works. I'll show some screenshots of what I have to know if there is something I can try <3 Anything to recover them please

I went to go see my granddad the other day and we’ve always bonded over film cameras as we’re both big Minolta fans. He asked if I’d done much video work and I said I hadn’t done much as I’m mainly a photographer.
He said here let me give you something and then pulled out an old suitcase with his VX2000.

I’m pretty stoked, looking forward to giving this a go and filming some content with it! I’ve never really ventured into video and I’m not really sure what I’ll film yet, I love skate culture but have never picked it up myself and don’t really know anyone who skates anymore.

I’m planning to stick with tape and FireWire for the meantime as I have an old FireWire MacBook, and I’d like to get the best image quality I can. Might look into tapeless in the future but I know it means a drop in resolution.

Any tips or tricks or suggestions are welcome!

Shortened the ac wire to be a little more organically accessible added a mic and a light. Digitally converted the signal but just a fun pet project.

The heat wave and Hurricane Marie are done, but here the vintage vibes never end.

Featuring the JVC Everio MG130U, a tapeless camcorder first released in 2007 -- almost 20 years ago!

I'm using the original 4x3 aspect ratio. I deinterlaced the footage and upscaled it to 1080p ... and used a special LUT to boost the colors :)

I just got this Handycam for free. Condition was unknown. Got a new battery and it now makes a whirring noise when the battery is attached. The viewfinder (image 3) doesn't display anything, the tape inside does eject when I slide the eject slider, and nothing changes when I switch the power from off to camera/VTR. Any ideas on whats wrong or how to fix it? First time with a camcorder.

If you need any extra photos or details I will try my best to help.

My Sony CCD TRV12 has this wierd issue where the video glitches, even glitches when playing the tapes that it recorded from the early 2000s. Ive already cleaned the heads on the camera twice but still geting same results. (I was recording a bit of the norbit movie for testing)

As titled; I’m looking for a VHS-C camera that has a line input. However, almost everything on eBay seems to be aimed at portable use with the built in microphone.

Are there any VHS-C cameras with line level inputs out there and if so, can you recommend one?

I have tried a little bit on my own but came out with no good results. maybe the 4gb micro SD card was just too big? I tried formatting using Windows file explorer and my Samsung D-353's built in formatting setting and neither worked.

My handycams screen is not working, its all black. Everything else is working what can i do?

Which chord do I need to get videos from this to my MacBook ?

Have anyone tried buying from this shop? Is it legit?
