jb092 0 #3 January 14, 2005 I did read somewhere that you should only do it when it says it needs it. Anymore then that you can wear the heads out. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #4 January 14, 2005 After 2 years, I haven't needed to. Possibly because I jump with a d-box, and only use new tape. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #6 January 15, 2005 How many tapes are you up to? I barely filmed at all in 2004 and I've got about 30 tapes laying around here. I've never cleaned my heads since I got the camera in 2001. Will probally do it once this year just as a prevention.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisionAir 0 #7 January 15, 2005 2 different cameras over 5+ years and I've only had to clean the newer one (2+yrs) once when I had the "digitized lines" showing up. But I also always use a dbox and new Sony tapes. Huh?!? What cloud?!? Oh that!!! That's just Industrial Haze Alex M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #10 January 15, 2005 Yeah.. thats what happens when you do tandems. Luckly for me its hit record as I am the second group from exit. Turn it off after stowing the slider. Sometimes I'll flip it back on for landing but thats rare any more. I hate that part of doing tandem videos when I do one. 5 jumps and I've gone through a tape. Fun jumps a tape will last at least 25 jumps and I can push it to 45 some times.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
