AC025A Soft Carrying Case

VCC1000 Video Color Control Center

Custom compact soft case designed especially to provide protection and utility for your 8mm camcorder and most accessories. Rugged fabric lined with soft non-abrasive material and generous padding. Has three outside pockets with storage for lens filters, adapters, batteries, and tapes.

VLP04 Color Enhancement Light

The VLP04 helps create brighter, sharper pictures in very low light conditions. It lights subjects in darkened areas or corrects unflattering shadows. Uses VLB04 replacement bulb.

The VCC1000 is two accessories in one. The color control center allows you to adjust the color intensity, tint, white balance, and sharpness of tapes being dubbed. This is especially helpful when the original tape was produced in poor lighting conditions or poor color settings. The second feature – the character generator – lets you create titles that can be recorded on your tapes. This lets you add a professional and/or personal touch to your home videos.

All specifications and descriptions of accessories are subject to change without notice.
