GLPVideo Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Just wondering if anyone has had bad experiences with any one brand of tape with the 100A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Donis Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I've not heard anyone with particularly bad experiences when sticking to one type of tape - the problems come from mixing and matching wet and dry lubes together. I use the Panasonic MQs now, and used to use Fuji tapes in my DVX, and I haven't had any tape problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Allen Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I've used quite a few brands, some TDK, pansonic dvc, regular maxell & sony consumerables. I try to keep panny pq and mq in my deck. So far no problems though, no dropouts, no garbled audio etc. We'll see what happens when projects become more demanding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd strongly suggest against it - if it *did* clog your camera, you'd be screwed. Not worth the risk IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know with my beta rigs you pick a tape and stick with it. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
