In sincerely hope whoever made that instruction manual sees this video and it makes them smile and adds a little pep in their step for the day. Imagine seeing Chris's appreciation for something you created about 40 years ago and figured the world had completely forgotten about it.
I've been working for JVC in The Netherlands for more then 36 years and it's great to watch your review of this vintage JVC VHS-C camera. I don't know who designed the manual in Japan but I'm sure he is pleased with your kudo's! Thx for sharing this Chris
This past autumn, I found my grandparents Realistic vhs-c camcorder and tapes of family events, like Christmas from when I was a baby 20 years ago. I'm going to digitize these tapes onto DVD copies for my family members this year. Wish me luck!
It's such a nice bit of kit! And the picture quality and resolution isn't actually that bad. If you put it on a tripod and thus eliminate camera shake, it should give you amazing results. You should definirely shoot more videos with it!
@@JustAnotherChris Oh cool definitely! By the way, it looks like you the transferred video doesn't have the interlacing removed in the quite the right way. This video here is quite detailed about the correct settings in the conversion program: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sn_TDa9zY1c.html&ab_channel=TheOldskoolPC So the video quality could be even better.
Badass camera man!!! I want one but I’d honestly never use it so 🤷♂️ I’m loving all of the doors this slr680 has opened for me it’s amazing being able to perfectly frame images and such I’m doing something kind of different and taking shots of my favorite anime characters on my tv!!! It’s coming out beautiful I’m adding in glitches on purpose and so on the full control I have and the slr makes it easy and I LOVE THE RESULTS!!! I am also glad to see the ole Pontiac again!!!
It’s not for everyone. But it’s a lot of fun. Can’t go wrong with the SLR680. Pontiac is coming along nicely. Hopefully next summer I will have a new paint job for it.
@@JustAnotherChris can’t wait to see it!!!! Are you going for a Kit look? Or just black? Or some other color? I think they’re amazing in white! Or red! Heck yellow even! Hard to go wrong on that body style the same blue on your sx-70 model 2 skins would even be sick!
@@JustAnotherChris I’ve got a 1990 240 sx and a 1966 Chevy c10 maybe we will see each other at a car meet or something sometime! Or some event 🤷♂️ I live far away but you travel a lot and I plan to before long
Wow, that's awesome! Great video Chris, i'm also a huge nerd about this stuff, so this video was heartwarming LOL. Where did you get your JVC ? I've been looking for one of these for so long
Hey Chris I’ve been a fan of your channel for a while! I remember the video where you connected the vhs cam to your pc. I also have that JVC camera and I really want to see if it is possible to livestream with it!
@@JustAnotherChris Oh which video was that? Is it the video where you talk to Dennis about upgrading Polaroids? I was hoping to find a video of you adding modern tech to the JVC GR-C1 I looked at the videos uploaded after this one but didn’t find it? Would you be able to link that video of you adding modern day technology to the JVC GR-C1? Or did that video get taken down?
When people asked me questions like this I always say “as long as it’s worth it to you” you don’t need others to justify your purchase. If you like it get it.
Hi I’m looking to purchase one and the seller description says that when he looks through the view finder there is a red light on but nothing the rest is black he has not put any tapes in could that be a reason why he can’t see through the view finder?
