here is two brands and Prices::::::::
1- JVC MDV12CL-P MINI DV HEAD CLEANING CASSET $16.95 US


2- Panasonic AY-DVMCLA Mini DV Cleaning Cassette $7.00 US

I personally use the second

In the past Carl Hicks has said to use a JVC or a Panasonic head cleaning tape. However, I don't think he has given model numbers.

I have the HD110 and the BR50 and decided to get the JVC tape, just to eliminate any questions. I have used only the PROHD tapes for the same reason.

I'm in the same boat. I use the JVC cleaning tape as well. When I'm not just shooting on the firestore, I only use the 63min PROHD tapes from JVC.
