Ising MiniDV Tape in ANOTHER camera THEN putting in good camera again!
I have a Canon XL1s and have been using it as a VTR for capturing footage from 7 x 63 min Panasonic MQ tapes. I want to use my friends miniDV cam as a VTR to lessen future wear & tear on my XL1s.
Does anyone know if the lubricant problem or any other issues occur when you put your MiniDV tape in another camera that has dirty heads/mix of lubs/etc. to capture, then put the tape back in the pro camera. Will lubricant transfer from bad camera to tape to good camera or any other issues that I could face? Also, how often do you clean your cameras heads? (I have a panasonic minidv head cleaner, cleaned once so far, after recording about 5 hours of footage in smokey bars). |

I can imagine that dirt and other things in the other camera can
stick to a tape and transfer to your other camera indeed.

Just don't use cleaner tape often. Use it when camera tells you to clean heads, if you experience rec/play dropouts or if you changing brands. Too much use of head cleaner can worn your heads quite quickly.
