View Full Version : Is playback bad for heads Philippe Dionne January 11th, 2007, 08:45 AM Hi, after shooting something, does rewinding the tape and then press play to view the previously recorded footage is using camera's heads ? Mike Teutsch January 11th, 2007, 08:52 AM Anytime you record or playback in the camera, you are using the heads. But, they are made to last thousands of hours. Mike Philippe Dionne January 12th, 2007, 08:31 AM Thanks a lot, I was worried about it Fred Foronda January 18th, 2007, 01:08 PM Just to share....I bought a HI8 back in 1999. The head went bad in 2001. Lucky it was till under my exteneded warranty. Mike Teutsch January 18th, 2007, 01:33 PM Just to share....I bought a HI8 back in 1999. The head went bad in 2001. Lucky it was till under my exteneded warranty. Thanks for the info, but how long did it last after the repair?

Thanks---Mike Haven't used it since early 2005 thats when I made the jump into the HDV world. Mike Teutsch January 18th, 2007, 10:49 PM Haven't used it since early 2005 thats when I made the jump into the HDV world. Not bad, 4 years. I guess I don't use mine enough, as I have never had a head failure. Well my own yes, but not a cameras! :) Mike |
