Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- I want to thank ORQA For sending me this Immersion RC PowerPlay to make a review on. A link to their website will be linked below. In this review II showcase some footage captured with the IRC PowerPlay. I used it with the Sony DCR-TRV17 and the Sony DCR-PC100. I also show how to set it up tapeless, how to capture footage from a tape with the IRC PowerPlay, and I go over some pros and cons.

Something neat that I just tested and found out is that if the card is in the Powerplay you can use a USBC-USBC cable straight to your phone to pull clips.
I was always pulling the card, and then using a USBC micro SD adapter thing before.
I still want to do some side by side image comparisons for myself because some of the comparisons that I've seen posted look way worse than the footage I get from mine.
Wow that’s honestly really cool I will definitely pin your comment. And yeah I think the footage looks pretty good. But I’ve only tested it with mini dv cameras
Appreciate you doing this video. Teaching Novices about how to navigate into tapeless without getting "Hustled" by opportunist rich Berkley kids Selling the same setup for almost 1K.
Yeah people are willing to pay for the convenience
@@brandoncameracollection hefty tax on convenience too lol
I was looking at their stuff recently their prices are insane. Better to build the setup yourself
@Shadowbandit they are located in Europe so I think the shipping makes it more expensive
Been rocking this for years on my VX2000, It doesn't quite record 4:3 in your editor you have to change the pixel aspect ratio to Pal or NTSC DV to get it looking right.
NEON AIRSHIP has some wicked guides on this recorder on his channel Deff check them out, does a proper deep dive on it
Great Review! Over on r/camcorders they hang people for these, without any pixel peeping the footage you captured looks great. Seems worth the trade off for convenience.
Yeah I think the footage looks pretty good
I think the real problem now isn’t people using these, it’s the guys who stick them onto camcorders and then sell the setups for like $900
@WilliamSundvor oh yeah I have seen their social media’s. The fact that they make a compatible av/rca cable and sell them for $45-$70 is mind blowing
@@WilliamSundvor if people choose to buy a dangy it’s on them. I met them, went to an event, they are all super nice guys who found a nice. That said, I scoured eBay myself for cams. I still give them props for the inspiration and not trying to gatekeep.
@sethsherwood5985 yeah just crazy that anyone could buy their setups for so much
Cool I can still use my broken DCR TRV11s
Is there a micro sd size limit or preference?
I need this accessory to use on my old camcorders, I bought an ezcap180 but it's horrible unfortunately I live in a country that lives in a kind of dictatorship and with high inflation.
Where do you live at? I have a couple for sale and you might be able to order from their website
@brandoncameracollection I live in Brazil! I really wanted to do my filming, as most of them have problems with the recording head and this accessory would save me a lot
@RGBgames1i where are you able to import from?
@@brandoncameracollection I usually use Shoppe, but the complicated part will be the taxes, which are 100% less if you declare a lower value.
@@brandoncameracollection shoppe
I have the pc100 but the cable doesn’t record sound and I can only plus the immersion side halfway to get the video to work any tips ?
Are you using the cable that you can order with the powerplay?
@ yes and also had bought a rode cable with two bands and three on the other end and did the same . I’m thinking if I have to use the s video input
@ the rode cable is a trs to trrs btw
@FernandoLeal-w9f yeah I’ve tried other cables as well. The only one that I have found that works it the one that comes with the PowerPlay. Not sure why yours isn’t working, might be something to email them about
Trying to hook this up to my dvx100b and I’m just getting a blank screen when i plug it into the jack ? Can you please help me out man 😭
What cable are you using?
@ I’m using the 3.5 jack to 3.5 jack , do I maybe need the red white and yellow cables ?
Yea you need a 3.5mm to yellow white and red. This adapter will work good for you. www.mycablemart.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=5995
@ ur a goat
Hey man, can you recommend any good rechargeable batteries for mid 2000s Sony camcorders?
What camcorder do you have?
@ sony dcr hc21.
@pumpkinhead5595 I usually buy Kastar batteries I never seem to have an issue with them and they are cheap.
