Review on 📹 Maxell 298022 60 Minute Digital Mini Video Camcorder Tape - 4 Pack: High-Quality Recording for DJs, Vloggers, and Filmmakers by Adam Rogers

I've been buying these tapes for years because of their higher reliability compared to cheaper mini DV tapes like some of the JVCs I've tried before. I record a lot of HDV, but Sony HDV tapes are too expensive to be effective. My archive library consists of over 300 mini DV tapes because they contain so little material and I trust these Maxells to store my HD footage. They record at 01:02:30 which is about an extra 2.5 minutes you get from them which I used at times! They work well with my Sony HVR-M15AU Mini DV/HDV deck and the dropout rate is very low. I used them as a backup for the production of a critical show that required impeccable video quality or the computers would crash. Since HDV is a digital format, the quality of the tape does NOT affect picture quality, but affects reliability (ie skips and errors). If you need a cheaper HDV recording and playback cartridge, I recommend this as a cheaper alternative to the cartridges labeled "HDV". Say no! to the HDSLR revolution!
