If you like old camcorders from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, then you have come to the right place! On this channel we check out all kinds of old camcorders from professional to wacky and weird. VHS to mini DV. I walk through all the features of these camcorders then we test them out and see what the footage is like. I resale a lot of these after reviewing them so hopefully my channel inspires you to start filming with your own retro camcorder. 😊

I still got my vx2000. It's a shame I can't get the drum to record reliably because anything filmed through it was guaranteed nostalgia
Is your video head dead? Or is it just glitchy footage?
Hey man! I recently came into possession of some Sony HDR-FX7 camcorders in great condition. Any advice on where/how to sell to get the best profit? They seem kinda obsolete in today’s camera landscape, so I thought I’d ask for advice
eBay is always the safest bet in my opinion. You can look up that model on there and see how much other people are selling it for then you can base your price off of the the condition of your camcorder
hey man I js got a vhs camcorder and from what I’ve seen you know your stuff, soo I was wondering if you know where to get battery chargers for the RCA batteries that slide in form top to bottom and not in and out
Yeah the hard part about the full size vhs cameras is they don’t make after market chargers. You’ll have to look on eBay to see if you can find one. You can find those rca batteries on batterykings.com but they are a little spendy
has anyone heard of a sony dcr-trv107? i ordered a dcr-trv 17 on enay, but received a dcr-trv 107 instead. I've never heard of a dcr-trv107 in my life, and i can't seem to find any information about it anywhere. it looks exactly the same as the dcr-trv 17. anyone know anything about this? would really appreciate some advice cos i spent quite abit on this camera.
That model could be a European or Japanese model. European models always have an e at the end like trv107e

How are you getting audio ?
lol i love that people are still buying these things because i literally have one of these and was looking for more videos about it.
Yeah I love this camera
thank you so much !!
Hi, I found this old cam at my home. It worked perfectly and we just take all the photos to our harddisk. I just love that this cam good still. After that i want to try that myself and put a dvd in it. It went throug in there is no problem. But after that dvd stuck in there my oto system just doesnt work my dvd is not coming outside. Can you help me or it just cant fixible. (Sorry for my bad English)
I bought one of these at a flea market for $20. Had the hard carrying case and all original paperwork and the docking station/adapter for av. I don't like how the view finder is in black and white lol but what are you going to do it was the 80s lol. I thought for the longest time the color sensor was broken because of the all black/white vf. I also had a few original batteries that will hold a small charge for about 45 min. Which is amazing for the old nicad batteries. I think there is a way to send them to like Poland or Germany and have them rebuilt for like a $100 a battery.
Hey Brandon, i just got this camera last week and i found your video really helpful my 2 questions are what should i do to replace my mic mount cause mine came broken and do you know of any other fisheye lens that are available?
Yes you can try an xlr cold shoe mount. I’ll leave some links for you to check out.

@@brandoncameracollection Another thing bro, could you help me how to change the video style, as you said in the video that there are like seven to change, but I never explain how to do it, could you help me with that please
@RAYF1RE are you talking about the video effects?
Bro, at minute -8, where are you in the car, I would like my camera to record that way, but I would really like to know if you did something to make it look like that, because I have the same camera as you, but when it doesn't look like that So that's my doubt. I have to move it to the camera so that it looks like yours, or it just looks like that because I haven't converted it to digital, that is, to the laptop, and I've only seen the videos through the camera, well.@@brandoncameracollection
These JVC were alot cheaper quality compared to Sony. My JVC VHS-C has pulsing white flashing when playing back.
Young Donald Harris Brian Clark Jennifer
How did you get the footage super clean like that lol ❤❤
The footage was captured with the clearclick video 2 digital 2.0. I have a link in the description
mine does not want to close. Any idea?
Not quite sure you might have to take it slightly apart and see if something is stuck
Just bought it and it hella dope 🔥🔥🔥
Hey, I was wondering if I can easily connect the AV cables if my camera (Sony CCD TR420e) only has the white and black RCA connectors. Can I simply only connect the white and yellow cable? Or do I have to get some other wire converter?
Yeah it will still work it only has the white and not the red plug in because it has mono audio and not stereo
I’m a big JVC fangirl though I want one of these :3
Muuuuum, can we have a vx1000??? Sweetie we already have a vx1000.. *the vx1000 at home*
I want one of these but they’re still to expensive for me. I saved your eBay store though! Could you try using the lomoinstant fisheye lens with normal cameras? And the other lens adapters they have too :o
Had a quick question for tapeless I found Sony HVR-MRC1 for a good price but it’s just the memory recording unit. Is it possible to buy the link cradle back part and still be able to use it and does it matter what region it came from? Thanks
hey! im planning to buy a similar one camcorder, how to record 16:9 videos with it? or there is no resolution option
I think you can change it in the settings
got error 31 : 40 be careful everyone
An amazing number of edits in this video - like every 5 or 6 words. Why?
Without pauses for breath, it makes the video a continuous stream of words.
I'm tempted to get this but it's kinda expensive and i don't want to pay monthly 3 xfor it nope 😭😭
You can get lucky and find some working cheap ones
Went by there today for the first time to try and skate it but it looked like they tore it out… bummer this place looks so rad to skate
Yeah they tore it out a couple weeks ago unfortunately
I'm having trouble fitting my 37mm fisheye lens onto my camera. I bought a 33mm lens adapter, but it still wouldn't fit. The lens has "33" at the end, so I thought the adapter would work. Can you tell me the millimeter size of this camera?
I believe it is a 25mm
Apologies it’s actually a 30mm
weird ultra low DR there at almost the end. hmm probably A68 and a5000-a5100 doin better image in same light
haha i didnt exist for 7, almost 8 more yesrs. lovely machine!
7 Years Old When This Baby Came Out. Such A Goodie.
Hey man sick video, thank you!! Is there anyway way to use this with the VX1000? I’m in a bind here between the HVR-Dr60 and this method. Send help!🥲
Have you looked into a Sony mrc1?
@@brandoncameracollection I have they are tough to find. The one I said is supposedly a solid one as well
@mt.hoodangler yeah these devices are great if you are just starting out but you can’t get a digital signal out of them with FireWire. You can usually find the mrc1 on eBay but there are usually around $250
@@brandoncameracollection quick question would this work as a monitor while I’m filming with an HVR? Just nice to see what I’m getting during a clip
@mt.hoodangler yeah definitely
Senks ❤
I dug out our old mini dv camera. Thomson VMD5 to be exact. Last it was used was back in 2012. And gotta say. The video quality although much worse than todays smartphone, somehow feels more like home/ nostalgic. Can really put my finger on it. But am thinking of using it again from time to time. Even found a firewire card and cable I boughr for it back in the day.
Yeah there is something just so fun about using an old camcorder. Everything is mechanical where your phone everything is done by just tapping a touch screen
Hey brandon I have been thinking about getting a camcorder to record interviews and b-roll what old camcorder would you suggest for $100?
You can usually find a canon gl1 or gl2 for a really good price
@@brandoncameracollection I'm having trouble finding a decent one is there another one you can suggest?
@ThBreadMan it really depends on what kind of camera you are looking for. You can look at the Sony ccd-trv models like the trv62 or trv65. They are hi8 cameras but are usually very reliable and usually around $100. You don’t have to specifically go with those models there are a lot of different options for the trv hi8 cameras from Sony and most of them are very similar
@@brandoncameracollection I'm looking for something that will give me alot of control over the camera
@ThBreadMan well you’ll have to keep your eye out for one at good price but I definitely would look at the dvx100, the vx2100, Sony pd170. If you can handle the size of the camera you can look at a canon xl1,xl1s,xl2. I have also found some Panasonic dvc30’s at a good price too and those actually have night vision
a minha rompeu o flat 😭😭
I just want to record S video, or componont ,.. what should i do? i have a Sony HVR Z1U ... tape works but I wont to go tapeless any tips?? thanks !!!
Have you looked at a Sony MRC1? They are a little expensive but will make capturing with FireWire super easy
I have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV130 would it still be compatible with this device? There's no red, white, yellow inputs on this camera so how would I go about connect this devise to my camera if it does work?
how can i put my 37mm fisheye lens to that camcorder?
I think the size is a 25mm so you will need a 25mm to 37mm step up ring
Many Sony cameras interesting But 780p is standard definition Have 42x optical with stabilization 1080p 30fps now Nikon coolpix p510 Yes not Sony color map But don’t see spending money now
I happened upon this video after I bought this camera on Ebay, I have two V8AF's I am trying to get fully functional, I will be taking apart the CCD module to see if the IR/UV filter is what caused the blur and update you.
what shot the clip at the front? surely not the dvx?
Yes it was it was getting dark so it looked a little weird
@@brandoncameracollection wow that was my dream camera 20 years ago...footage looks worse han my Hi8 from back then haha
@stillben could be the scene file I was using too
Saia masih fokus pada pembuatan videonya di thn 1997,kayak pake sony handycame
Yeah an extra test video would be sick. > I also did end up getting a canon xha1s off ebay lol. Excited to compare it with my dvx
I have that camcorder and it is my favorite and I still use it . Great video, yes keep it a little longer .
Keep it a little longer?
@@brandoncameracollection Yes before you put it up at your eBay store for sale, you said in your video that you will keep it because those are hard to find. I was lucky I found mine in my town for 80 bucks with a few tapes and chargers, I have other camcorders but it is so fun to record with the Panasonic DVX100.
@Mega7476 yeah it has such a good image too
great video, love your channel! has it got a thread for tripod mount?
Yes it does
I have a 1984. I think RCA tube lens camera VHS it is not working to take deck broke. It won’t eject I know it’s belts But I wanna make it tapeless but it will not turn on. Should I clean the contacts on the wires with wire cleaner, contact cleaner or make sure any wires are not loose or use electrical cleaner can someone please help me I really want this camera to work like I did when I was a kid. Thanks love your videos. I want to use this camera to film car shows and stuff and cool movies like back rooms footage. if you have any ideas, let me know. Thank you.
Like it
What do you think about DCR-PC 120? Is similar or this one is better?
The pc120 is the newer version of this one. I would definitely check out the 120
