Portable minidv or Hi8 capture decks?
What is affordable and available?
I need a small deck for capturing from a bullet cam. It doesn't need a screen, just av in and lanc and long life battery..anyone know a good source for decks? |
Look on ebay for the Sony walkman series...
GV-D200 is hi/digital 8 with no screen GV-D300 is minidv with no screen GV-D800 is hi/digital 8 with a screen GV-D900 is minidv with a screen (older model) GV-D1000 is minidv with a screen (newer model) Good luck! |

some small camcorders have AV in so they may be suitable to use as recorders (and possibly quite a bit cheaper)- if you could pick up something like an old sony pd100- I'm pretty sure it has AV in, you can also record DVcam and preset timecodes with one of these

Unfortunately, the PD100 /a is still selling used for $900+. The digital/hi8 video walkman units for $250 or so. Might be better off with a camcorder as a deck.
