HOW TO SHOOT ON A VHS CAMCORDER 

PS. No Vhs camcorders where used in this video. They were hi8 camcorders

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

"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.

exactly no one buy vx1000, save it for the skaters!!

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.

WHY ALL THESE MODERN TECH RU-vidRS 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)

Step 1: Get a Video8/Hi8 camcorder instead

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?

Sony cx405 small 60x zoom micro sim about $225

You never said what model you have?

how do you transfer from the camcorder to the computer?

could you give us the link for the fisheye lens?

Which external mic and lens do u use?

Drake cover is craZyyy

I personally prefer a digital camcorder from the mid 2000s. It has the aesthetic but without the hassle of digitizing tapes.

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 😂

👎 For the guy not knowing what he’s talking about.

Where do I buy cassette tapes from for the sony handy cam

Thanks a lot!

Salute 🫡

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?

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.

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?

What software do you use to edit vhs videos?
