I found this item easy to understand and work with. The manual is clear and not complicated. You have to have the appropriate VHS or DVD player depending on what you are recording. Your VHS or DVD player must have the appropriate AV connections or S-Video connections to connect to this item. I tried to get a picture on the little screen for about an hour but could only get audio. Then I read the troubleshooting part of the manual and realised I hadn’t selected the right input. Once I did that everything was fine and I recorded 2 VHS tapes. Everything was so easy. But if you record content from say a VHS tape the recorded quality will not be HD quality because the recording depends on the quality of the original content. Having said that I was pleased with the outcome and can watch my recordings on my TV. I live in the UK and my TV is a PAL tv. My original content was NTSC (which my video player could play). I recommend this item.

Very good easy to use

It's so quick and easy to use. Just plug in your camera or video recorder and hit play, and then press record on the ClearClick. It's that simple.It takes the pain out of digitising videos, no sound synchronisation issues and picture quality as expected for VHS. File size is reasonably small too. Much better results than using a video capture stick and done in half the time without the hassle.You need a USB stick or SD card to record the video, and then plug in to your PC to copy off. Really has saved me loads of time.

Excellent product , over the years I have tried many converters without finding the one that produced what I I needed , now I have finally found the one that does exactly what I needed to digitally convert my previous memories .the unit may be a little more expensive than others that are advertised but for the reliability and quality of this product it is well worth paying that little extra

I have been looking for some time for an A to D converter for my Canon XL2 and HV30 camcorders. This piece of kit looked to be what I needed to get away from the old tape based recording system but I have found it wanting in two main areas.1 There is no internal battery so a mains supply, (this came with the device) or a power pack is required to power the device. I use a power pack which works well but is a piece of clutter that I would rather not have to bother with when recording.2 The device can only record at 720p which is far short of the video requirements of today. My camera is set to record at 1080 x 25fps which is incompatible with the ClearClick. I have had to devise some work arounds to overcome this short fall.I have had to reset my camera to record at 4x3 which is the format that this device needs. It will not cope with 16x9 format. Record quality is just about acceptable and is output to either to SD card or memory stick. I use a mac computer running VideoPad as my main video editing software. With this I can crop and enlarge the footage but there is, understandably, some loss of quality. When copied to a DVD and viewed on a small TV the quality loss is not too noticeable.With the above in mind I would suggest that this piece of equipment is grossly over priced and not fit to cope with today's video and TV standards.I will persevere with the device and software but I do not hold out much hope for improving the output. It does, however, provide a much larger screen as a viewing monitor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did not work

I was looking for a way to convert my old 8 mm camcorder tapes into a digital format. After quite a lot of research looking at reviews and looking at youtube videos on the Clearclick 2.0, I decided to buy it from Bolo at a cost of £149.95.One of the main things I liked about the Clearclick is that it does not need a computer.It took me quite a bit of time to decide whether to buy it or not, as I had to convince myself was I justified in paying out the £149.95 as there are a lot of video grabber devices to pick from which are a lot cheaper, but do require a computer.When it arrived, I eagerly connected up to my camcorder.I was very surprised and disappointed to see that the picture frames were rolling up the screen.Bolo put me in contact with Clearclick customer care who were very helpfull. But after a lot of emails and trying out numerous attempts to correct the issue it still did not work. Clearclick thought it could be a faulty device so sent me a replacement.The replacement also didn't work and had exactly the same fault, so I had to send that back too.When my camcorder was connected directly to my TV using the same cables the picture was good so I new my camcorder and cables were good.In conclusion.... would I recommend the Clearclick ? based on my experience no.Based on reviews and youtube videos, I would say that it may well work for you, as when I read the reviews I could only find one other person who it did not work for.

I bought the clearclick converter as my son is a pro photographer and is often contacted to see if he can digitise old tapes anything from vhsc to hi8 etc. but it’s me who does the work so I treated myself to this wonderful piece of kit, after using other methods (plug in usb type) it gives a much better workflow and has no glitches as it records to an SD card or a Usb pen, the former I would recommend and you still need some form of video editing software to complete a good job, but as a videographer myself I already use one. The unit is well made, comes with all the connecting wiring and power adapter, you can even view your progress on a tv via the HDMI output on the device whilst recording. Ok it’s definitely not HD and is not meant for that application but for digitisation of old formats from bygone devices it makes life easygoing my recommendation for recording old VHS is to try an use a VHS player with An S video outlet as this produces slightly better quality than an AV outlet.

Excellent product - wish I had found this earlier

So easy to use and converts all my old miniDV tapes to digital mp4 format.If I could give this 10 stars I would!I highly recommend this product

Nice features, and okay build.
