Straight of my DeLorean, Doc!

Thanks for watching! I recently sold the camera, so I don't have one handy to tell you exactly what to push, but make sure the camera is in VTR mode. VTR=Video Tape Recorder mode, aka "playback mode." If you're in VTR and you don't see a picture, the tape deck likely has dirty heads and is not reading the video footage from the tape. You'll need to find someone who can service the camera and clean the heads. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself because they can easily be ruined if you're not sure what you're doing. Good luck!

Thank you for the response! Yes I had it in VTR mode. Bummer if it’s the tape heads! I was really hoping it was user error. I appreciate your feedback!

@@CGreenwoodSound No problem! If you have any electronics repairs shops around, they'll likely be able to do it for an affordable price. Just hope that there's some technicians there in their 50s-60s - because they are the ones that really know the tape technology well! Not many people younger than that (myself included) that can do tape/VCR repairs very well. Good luck!

I don't have any experience using those on EOS M cameras, but I have heard the flange distance isn't compatible. I'd recommend doing more research to ensure it will work with your camera. Thanks for watching!

@@thesharpshooter4uThanks for the reply! I’ve seen people adapting c-mount or b4 lenses on eos-m cameras so I’m quite sure that the flange distance won’t be a problem!

@@electricburning Awesome. If you end up doing it and making a KZbin video on it, I'd love to see. Please tag me in it if you'd like. Thanks!

@@thesharpshooter4u Sure!!

Haha! Glad to hear and thanks for watching! :)

@@thesharpshooter4u Proud new owner of one of these cases this morning. :)

Okay, I went back to your video to get some clues. You said there that you use analog audio. After hearing that, I hooked up a Zoom H4N audio recorder and ran it into the analog audio ports on the StarTech recorder. Doing so fixed the audio problem. Now the video is black and white and low resolution. Curious? Why is this happening? After spending way too much time than I wanted to on this device, all I can say is, so far so bad. I got it based on your recommendation. So far it's not working for me. I wish you would have explained more of how you got it to work for you or any possible problems to expect.

Those are great recorders! It's been a long time since I've used them. Do you have to use FireWire to transfer the video to your computer or is there another way to retrieve the files without real-time log and capture?

@@thesharpshooter4u Hey Tyler. You need to transfer it with FireWire. I don’t think there is any other way. Years ago, I purchased a FireWire PCIe Card for my PC in order to retrieve the clips. Unfortunately, recently, I learned the hard way that you can't use one of those FireWire to USB cables to view the files. I bought a cheap cable off of eBay and it must have fried the circuit in the FireWire port of my DR-HD100. Now, the pop-up screen doesn't appear when I try to connect to my PC. After this happened, I found out from those who know that Firewire to USB cables don't work and can damage your device. This experience wasn't a total loss, however, it did cost me $280 for new equipment. I ended up researching what recorders work with the GY-HD110. I found one that works great with it. That is the Datavideo DN-200 DV/HDV Hard Disk Recorder. I purchased it from Church Gear's website for $90 ($120 Total). The model that i got came with everything, all the accessories, and even the original box. It has 320GB of storage capacity for hours of recording. It came clean and scratch free. I use a Small Rig Magic Arm with two Super Clamps to rig it to the rear of the camera. After I bought the DataVideo recorder, a seller on eBay reduced the price of a brand new, never used, in original box, with all accessories DR-HD100 recorder. He reduced the price by $110 and was selling it for $139. I couldn't pass up that deal, so I purchased it. ($160 Total). The DR-HD100 recorders for the JVC-GY-HD110 camera are being sold on eBay from time to time. There are a few being sold now. I wouldn't pay for what those sellers are offering. By the way, I want to compliment you on this video. You did a good job on it. I watched it several times.

@@perpub I didn't delete it. I'm not sure what happened, but thank you for re-posting your reply below! It's helpful for the viewers!

@@perpub Thanks for the info. I completely forgot about the DataVideo recorder, but now that rings a bell. I never used or saw one of those in person, but I remember researching them a few years ago. Yeah, it's unfortunate there's not many modern PCs with Firewire ports anymore. I held onto my MacPro 1.1 until 2022 (had it for a decade and loved it). I used it and an old MacBook with Firewire to log and capture all the footage back in the day. Firewire is a funny thing. At that time, it was more reliable than USB 2 (because most USB 3 devices didn't exist or weren't prominent) for high-bandwidth applications like audio and video. I had a similar Firewire experience with my Digi-002 (audio interface) and ProTools. I bought the unit used and had it for about 3 years, using it extensively, and one day the Firewire ports went bad. I had to get it repaired by an Avid-certified shop out of Chicago to get it back working. When I got it back, I called the technician to ask if there's anything I could have done to prevent it. He asked if I plugged the Firewire cables in while either of the devices (computer or interface) were powered on. I said yes. He told me in the future, with any Firewire device, make sure the computer and the device (camera, audio interface, etc.) are both powered off. This happened a few years before I bought the JVC, so I remembered that when I began connecting it to the PC and never had any problems. Funny enough though, the 2012 MacBook's Firewire port died in 2020 after years of use, so that's when I decided to stop using Firewire altogether and I bought that Startech recorder. Appreciate your info and thanks for watching! I love sharing stories like these with the views to help them learn!

Great question. I have the same 1510 you're describing as well. The Apache does not have the same mounting holes. You may be able to drill your own holes, but I wouldn't advise it.

@@thesharpshooter4u I'm surprised to hear that the Apache doesn't have the same mounting holes. After scouring the Internet for images, I thought I had confirmed that the screw holes are in the same location.

I haven't had the need to replace the wheels, but they appear to be the same size (inline style wheels and bearings) as the 1510. I can't say with certainty, but I would say it is likely the same replacement process.

@@thesharpshooter4u I have to replace the wheels on my Pelican 1510 about once a year.

@@EdwardSantoro Wow, I'm honestly really surprised to hear that. What kind of terrain/conditions is your case going in? I've flown with mine for years through commercial airports and taken it on construction sites without replacing. One of the cases I have is about 10 years old at this point and still using the original wheels.

Thanks for watching, @billvinson7859. That's awesome! Glad to hear you were able to capture it!😃 Next time, I'll remember to take my filters off from the get-go. 😎

Thanks for watching taomenshuifilmstudio34! By the way, I love the AF101. It's an excellent camera!

Thanks for watching @PurpleHelix! Yeah, that effect becomes really pronounced around 02:30. In short, that's known as a "lens flare". The light from the sun is so bright and intense that it is reflecting and bouncing around through the different glass elements and components of the lens, causing unintentional "flares" or "ghosts" of an image that's not really there. Sometimes this can happen with other types of bright light and people describe it as "orbs". You can learn more about them here: photographylife.com/what-is-ghosting-and-flare Or, I could be completely wrong and those were just aliens observing the eclipse, caught on camera. :)

Thanks for watching eastking1147! Yes, but you will need an interface. Here's a few of options for you: If you're running an older Mac that has Firewire ports, you can use the camera's Firewire out and the computer will be able to use that as an input audio/video source. I had used this with Quicktime in the past. There is a piece of equipment from Startech called the USB2HDCAPS. It's the recorder I mentioned toward the end of the video. It has a USB and RJ-45 (Ethernet) interface so you can connect to a Windows-based computer and live stream. You'll likely have to pick up those interfaces used on eBay or a simliar site (at this point, they go for around $50-75). As I mentioned in the video, it uses the camera's component outputs for and HD 720p signal. Lastly, you can also use the camera's component outputs through a Blackmagic Mini Converter Analog to SDI, connected to a BlackMagic Web Presenter. With that said, I really wouldn't recommend using this camera for live streaming. There are many other cameras on the market that will offer better ease of use, flexibility, and higher quality for a low price. I haven't had experience with them yet, but I'm looking at the Logitech Mevo series now. They have some cameras with built-in lens and microphones, and they just came out with one that accepts Micro Four Thirds lenses. This will likely be a game changer for high-quality streaming productions. And if you need a high quality zoom lens like this JVC camera has, you will have plenty of affordable options that will be available for that lens mount system.

You're welcome!

Thanks for the comment @chrisw443!

Glad it was helpful! If you're looking for good mics for an auditorium application, I would highly recommend Shure.

​@@thesharpshooter4ushure definitely is the best. I had 6 but added 2 from temu. Look almost identical. Problem I couldn't figure a good frequency with no interrupt ions. Hopefully this works tomorrow. It will be my 2nd attempt atleast this time I won't be guessing frequencies

@@u-know-this Hope you find the right frequencies! Good luck and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences with the UWMIC9. I had no idea the first generation was on the 600MHz band, that's really interesting.

@ConsumerDV - Thanks for watching! I appreciate the clarification on what I said at 2:02. You are correct. I apologize if that caused any confusion. My HD110U would output 1080i60 through its component jack. I used that format with an external recorder, and it is noted on JVC's spec sheet, under the sampling frequencies section: pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/specs.jsp?model_id=MDL101642&feature_id=03 I'll have to check more out on your channel. I appreciate the information you're sharing about vintage A/V equipment. Thanks for helping keep old technology alive!

@@thesharpshooter4u I appreciate you took the high road to my rather snotty comment :) I liked your video and watched it to the end. I found out about the GY-HD100/110/200 while reading the now defunct HighDef magazine (you still can download old issues from the archive through Wayback Machine). For example, the September 2006 issue reads: "JVC PROHD CAMCORDER - The GY-HD110U provides users with a choice of three image formats, a black and-white viewfinder display mode, simultaneous use of both eyepiece and LCD displays when powered by IDX or Anton Bauer battery systems, a selectable mirror mode on vertically flipped LCD displays, manual audio control, audio limiting, along with other features. These new features are enhancements to the feature set available in the ProHD HD100 camcorder line, which include true 24-frame progressive recording, 1280x720 image capture, interchangeable bayonet mount lenses, three-chip 1/3-inch CCD imaging, multiple HD format outputs and compatibility with HDV and DV formats." In the same issue an advertisement for the camcorder quotes a DP for "24" (he did two episodes) saying, "I spent 20 years as a documentary shooter, so features, glass and the physical build of the camera are extremely important. We tested many small HD cameras and chose JVC’s GY-HD110U because it’s a true 24p camera with interchangeable lenses." In the March-April 2007 issue the article about "24" clarifies, "Although 24 is shot on film, a considerable amount of HD video is used for the show to provide ‘real life’ visual content. 24 utilizes JVC’s ProHD GY-HD110U to shoot HDV for presidential addresses, surveillance video, news footage, and playback of news segments. Previously, the series used the PD150 DV camera, shot at 60i and then converted to 30p." The whole article is interesting. I used to gobble up this stuff, dreaming of becoming a filmmaker. In the end, I just learned a lot of numbers.

Appreciate it! @@ConsumerDV :) All comments are welcome, especially if it's helping the viewers!

Thanks for watching @tonytravert9944! I wouldn't not bother with any of the firewire adapters. Instead, I would recommend the Startech recorder I mention at 20:25. It enables you to use the camera and record on to SD cards, and there is a USB interface so you can live stream with the camera as well. This is the model: www.startech.com/en-us/audio-video-products/usb2hdcaps. It's discontinued, but you can find it on sites like eBay. Good luck and happy shooting!

The DR-HD100 Hard Drive recorder is specifically made for this camera and records HD video in 720p. You can up-res 720p video to 1080p or 4K using VideoProc Converter to get great video with this camera. I've used this camera for years and still use it. Of course, I have 4K cameras, but I still like this one as well.

@@perpub If you google this, you will find it but it's either 'archived' which i don't know what that means in tech talk, or No longer available'. I recall reading about this unit about 15 years ago and if it is on sale today, it would be around $1,800 USD which is probably as much as the camera would be and at 720p and perhaps it might be able to up res, but perhaps that video adapter is more value for money than this unit, but perhaps there is a second hand somewhere in the world? Thank you!

@@tonytravert9944 I replied to Tyler above about my recent experience with the DR-HD100 recorder. I needed one and found one brand new on eBay being sold for only $139.

I just didn't happen to get lucky and have that deal fall in my lap. I actually was watching that seller's listing and when he reduced the price, I jumped on it. I wouldn't have bought it if he didn't do so because, although he was selling it at a great price to begin with (249), I had just purchased the DataVideo DN-200 Recorder. You know if you want to get good deals on eBay, I'll give you a heads up. Just search for what you want, type the name of the item in the search box. If it's not already available, save the search and eBay will email you when someone lists what you want. You can save Buy Now or Auction searches.

Great question. Unfortunately, I do not know if it works with the Canon EF cameras. I have only tested with M43. Thank you for watching.

Recently bought the quite rare TV nikkor ED 9x5.5 1.7 with a 1.7x converter. . The converter makes instead what a 2 times doubler what the canons have not a f3.5 but f2.8 so quite some more useful light. Using it currently on my GH5. Will maybe someday buy a GH5s for the loss of light thing. But sofar amazed what the results are. And also got the lens with a extra 0,9x wide angel attachment. Quite crazy distortions with that adapter but makes the lens with al the converters and crop factor. With 0,9x attachment a 15.5-140mm 2.8 😂. And without that 0,9x a 18-170mm so amaing stuff. And CA without doubler is there but surprisingly with the doubler engaging. There in’st that much. Maybe from 1.7 to f2 would be wise.

That's awesome. @@wietseveen3615 . I don't have much experience with Nikon lenses, but I've seen the lens you're talking about on other websites.

Hello Ellesky. Thanks for watching! I'm working on my next batch of videos, and I'll feature these again with more footage.

Thanks for watching! I used an SPX800 as a news videographer from 2012-2015. P2 was great in its heyday, but I was glad when professional cameras adopted the more affordable and obtainable SD cards.

Hello, ez591. Thanks for watching! That's a great question. You are correct that the Pelican auto adjusts, but the Apache is a manual adjustment. If flying with the Apache, my advice would be to tighten the relief valve so it is very snug before your flight and don't make any adjustments until you arrive at your destination. You should not have any concerns with your equipment being damaged in flight from pressure buildup. Once you have landed, loosen the relief valve so it equalizes the pressure, and then open the case. If you have further concerns, you can buy and install the Pelican brand automatic relief valve into your Apache case. I personally don't think it is necessary, but it is possible. You may need to drill out mounting holes, depending on the size of relief valve you choose. Thanks again for watching!

There wont be any pressure build up. There will only pressure differnce. Regardless if the relief valve is closed or open during flight, nothing will be damaged. The only purpose of the relief valve is to let you open the case when pressure changes. With the air tight seal, if you closed your case on a mountain top or in a airplane, once you land at sea level, the case will refuse to open. Its like lifting a suction cup from a glass surface. The relief valve just equalies the air pressure inside and outside the case so their is there no loonger auction holding the case close. I would keep the valve closed at all times to keep moisture from getting into the case. i only only open the valve dor a few momennts if i cant open the lid easily.

Good to hear from you, Ryan! Hope you're doing well!

Yeah, but Pelican is not even the best quality either, comprared to German SKB cases or Harding Strorm Cases (Bought out by pelican in 2018). The Harbor Freight is 90% of the quality of the pelican 1510. But pelican is maybe 40% the quality of a SKB case. So $99 for a harbor freight case is a deal. Or jump up to a used SKB case for $600.

This is a great question, anggi869. It's just my opinion, but I would agree JVC was more well-known in the ENG/broadcast customer base and Canon was more popular in the prosumer/production house customer base. The JVC GY-HD100/110 and the Canon XL H1 are very comparabile cameras. Both share 1/3" CCD sensors, XLR audio inputs, ability for 24fps (which was huge at that time), and recorded to HDV/MiniDV tape. And both were similarly priced. The key differences I'm aware of are the lens mounts. The Canon lined used proprietary Canon XL (which could accommodate Canon EF lenses with an adapter), while JVC used the 1/3" bayonet-mount system, offering a few selections of broadcast grade lenses. With the JVC camera, it was not intended for the user to frequently change lenses. Most that use those style of broadcast lens will stick with it for the life of the camera since they have a constant aperture, long zoom range, and are parfocal. However, Canon's design encouraged users to swap lenses based on their shooting requirements. To my knowledge, none of the XL lenses were parfocal, but I believe some had a constant aperture throughout the focal length. After using both cameras, I would say the JVC was a superior model due to its lens, but I would agree that it was definitely overshadowed. It's interesting, because I also use the JVC GY-LS300 camera today which offers a micro four theirs lens mount, a Super 35 sensor, and 4k resolution. It is great for broadcast or cinematic looks and is very affordable. However, it was discontinued after a short time. I believe it was because customers are shifting to DSLR-style cameras for video. Nonetheless, the LS300 is an extremely capable video camera that can compete with today's competition from Canon, Panasonic, Sony, and BlackMagic Design.

@@thesharpshooter4u thanks for the amazing reply. The shifting towards the dslr camera is a very interesting topic. Many new videographer especialy in youtube seems to get the wrong idea when it comes to equipment and its purpose. They always think that dslr is better than camcorder. I always say it depend on the mission. If you focus on videography get an dslr. If you focus on story telling, documentation, or vlogging, a simple and affordable camcorder is good enough.
