Having a Hi8 camcorder is so fun. It really gives that good 90s vibe especially when going to a car show or car meet. Love using it and using the converter really is the easiest and cheapest way to
Yo bro, do you have Instagram or have some time on your hands to help me with some questions, I’m also interested in using it for the car scene lmao and have no idea where to start
"VHS" doesn't mean tape in general, it refers to a specific type of tape(the same as used in common VCRs). None of the camcorders demonstrated here use VHS or VHS-C(compact VHS, a smaller version), with a variety of analog and digital(like MiniDV) tape cameras. Digital tapes can be copied to a computer with the exact same data as on the tape, almost always by using a "firewire" cable. Some less common digital tape cameras even recorded in High Definition (such as HDV) There can be vast differences in image(& sometimes audio) quality depending on the tape type, brand & model, let alone vs modern SD card models. When capturing from an analog tape, a cheap capture card/usb device (the "analog to digital converter") will limit the image quality from better cameras though. Unfortunately a significant number of older cameras have also developed faults(often mechanical) over time, so it's best to be sure a camera is working well before buying it. Anything that records video onto an SD card is far from a VHS camera, it's just a modern era camcorder - which can be up to 4k+, and often much more usable for video than a phone. At the top end, they can be bordering on "cinema" cameras.
With the SD card route does the quality or the feel of the vhs camera degrade at all? If not are there any SD cameras you would suggest to look for on second hand marketplaces?
None of the camcorders in this video were VHS. They are mostly either Hi8 or Mini DV. Are you just saying "VHS" like it's a term to describe all tape-based camcorders?
Hey I have the Sony ccd trv108 and I bought the exact rca converter you’re showing at 4:27. I can’t figure out how or where to connect the rca jack to the camcorder and then to my computer. Can someone help?

thank you so much I found more answers than I was looking for 🙏🏻😭 questions though, 👉🏻 what do I do so I can remove the footage from the cassette tape so I can record on it multiple times? Like how does that work? I was over here thinking we had to buy vhs tapes for each time we film , really saved me on that one, and the sd card. Also does a hi 8 tape capture audio as well? Because I know there are tapes specific for audio as well.
@@KILLIVVN oh okay ! Thank youu. I’m still kind of confused though maybe you could make a tutorial or separate video explaining that 🙏🏻 maybe , thank you
@@KILLIVVN thanks for the reply but I think you misunderstood. I’m looking for vhs camera recommendations that you’d recommend that records onto sd cards rather than tapes but has all the same features and look of a tape recording camera
WHY ALL THESE MODERN TECH TH-camRS CAN TELL U THE BEST BUDGET PC SETUPS OR MODERN CAMERAS AND CAMCORDERS BUT CANT READ THE CASSETE IT LITRALLY SAYS HI-8 IT ISNT VHS VHS CAMCORDERS ARE BIG AF (no hate im just annoyed by howw many ppl get this wrong)
how did you bring in you sony camcorder into concerts and festivles I just bought my camcorder not to long ago and I really wanted to take some good shots at festival that I'm going to. But I was told that concerts and festival don't allow it if you can answer my question that would be so helpful.
VHS are large cameras. Nothing in this vid is VHS.. Lots of references to minidv and hi8.. you won’t get that vhs look at ALL with digital footage.. these cameras are 10 years too new.
@@KILLIVVN WAIT WHATTTTTT you made that intro?? that's amazing!! I'm starting a clohting brand & I wanted to commision the person who made it because it looks sick ash🔥🔥 keep killin it brodie love the vids!
PS. No Vhs camcorders where used in this video. They were hi8 camcorders
Yep, big difference
hi8 camcorders are like mini vhs camcorders
@@hamptermusicmakernope, it's different format of cassette. But vhs also have VHS Compact

I personally prefer a digital camcorder from the mid 2000s. It has the aesthetic but without the hassle of digitizing tapes.
Any examples I’m trying to buy a camcorder without the digitalized tapes too
@@James-uu7rdDitto.. We need some models homie!
how do you transfer from the camcorder to the computer?
Bought a panasonic pv-L657 and am sooo lost on how to open the tape tray lmao. I’ve looked at the manual and everything
Let me look into It
Do you not see a blue switch on the back of the camcorder that’s labeled ‘TAPE EJECT’?
great vid man helped a lot definitely gonna use my camcorder this summer!!
LETS GET IT
Drake cover is craZyyy
how do you record over the tape? i’m struggling
Hey, what’s the camera Sony is he using pleas and what’s the lens to? Thank you a lot!
You never said what model you have?
Which external mic and lens do u use?
Great video, I was actually lookin for the right camcorder cuz am workin to make a VHS horror film so u helped me a lot lol 😂

@@doomenthusiast definitely! 🔥
Any updates?
I have mini hd dv cameras and sd card cameras
Where did you find your sony?
Facebook market
exactly no one buy vx1000, save it for the skaters!!
With the SD card route does the quality or the feel of the vhs camera degrade at all? If not are there any SD cameras you would suggest to look for on second hand marketplaces?
The quality is dope with an SD card and I’d go with anything Sony and definitely look on the second hand 😊market
Does it still have that VHS style or is it more smooth like with a normal camera nowadays?@@KILLIVVN
Middle ground but more sh*tty
I see, do you think it's worth it getting a vhs camcorder and attaching one of those portable capture cards that just go straight to SD? @@KILLIVVN
Any camera recommendations?
Bruh no one is trying to help💔
Sony hi8 camera is a recommendation
which handicap do you have and fisheye adapter ?
It’s just the one fish eye available on Amazon
This video is prophetic with Drake shooting Rich baby daddy on Hi-8 a year after this was posted🚀💯🤯🔥🔥

For real
where do you buy tape? I’m having trouble picking a seller and don’t really know what I’m looking for.
Go on Amazon! Or a drugstore
how did you bring in you sony camcorder into concerts and festivles I just bought my camcorder not to long ago and I really wanted to take some good shots at festival that I'm going to. But I was told that concerts and festival don't allow it if you can answer my question that would be so helpful.
Honestly it’s trial and error some do some don’t I get media passes often are get invited by acts
Step 1: Get a Video8/Hi8 camcorder instead
You messing with the VHS look?
Yes, i think it is a really cool effect 🔥
@@D0d0_b0b0 thanks for watching 🤞🏿
@@KILLIVVN of course 👍

VHS-C(compact VHS tapes) were common though, and some were small. There's none of either in the video though.
@@DoubleMonoLR But they fell out of fashion by the mid 90s in favor of Video8/Hi8 or miniDV.
are u using the sony ccd-trv308？
Yes!
How do you record over tapes?
You just hit play
Sick video! Thanks for all the tips. What's your wide angle adapter? It looks dope
