Camcorder Accessories Buyers Guide
Many camcorder accessories are in fact necessary in order to really get the most out of your camcorder, no matter what format or manufacturer you have chosen.
Cables and Connectors
Most modern camcorders record digitally to either a memory card, an internal hard drive or a removable digital medium such as a DVD or mini DV tape. As a result most camcorders have the ability to connect to your laptop or PC at home and transfer their images and audio digitally so that you can edit it. Depending on the make and model of your camcorder, you may need to pick up a USB or Firewire cable to make this possible. Some PCs and most Apple Macs have Firewire ports built in and virtually every PC will have a USB port available to use: you just need to pick the cable that's compatible with your camcorder. If your camcorder uses memory cards to store the video you might need to pick up a card reader to let you transfer the data between your camcorder and your PC.
Recordable Media
Few camcorder accessories are more vital than the media to which the video is recorded. If your camcorder uses DVDs then you can stock up on spindles of blank discs for very little, available in packs of between 10 and 100. Mini DV video tapes are slightly more expensive but offer excellent quality, whilst HD camcorders which have built in hard drives as well as memory card ports will be greatly augmented with High Capacity SD memory cards, generally available with 4GB to 16GB of on board memory.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keeping your camcorder in good condition doesn't need to be a chore: there are a number of camcorder accessories to help with this task. DVD and mini DV camcorders benefit from lens and head cleaners respectively to avoid sub-par recording and you should buy disc repair kits to fix scratches to precious home videos stored on DVD. Keeping your camcorder safe and well maintained can be simply achieved if you purchase a carry case, which can also be used to store all of your other camcorder accessories when you take it on the road.
