Product did not work for me but I gave 5 stars so as not to penalize the overall product status since it appears to work for those who actually bought it for the correct cartridge type. I was looking for a product which would allow me to view my 8mm video catridges, without the camcorder, and a search directed me to this product. For whatever reason , it wasn't clear that there is no product for the 8mm video cartridges except a camcorder. While Amazon was terrific about the return procedure, I discovered I am not the only one who has made this mistake. It may save buyers time, and sellers money, if the seller made it clear what cartridges can not be played in this handy gadget. I learned what the "C" stood for only after the product did not work. In looking at the product advertisement again, it is not clear that the "C" indicates a specific type of cartridge. It is easily interpreted as part of the name of the product. I am satisfied with policies for return and how that was all carried out. Thank you.

This adapter is much better than the ones which don't take a battery. The difference is the other type manually pulls out the tape with a set of rollers when it's closed, and that can screw the tape up. The battery model I believe is also better at rewinding, the manual ones always drag down my VCR when I've tried it in the adapter.

For the reviewer below, they don't make 8mm adapters. Vhs-C is nothing more than a small-scale VHS tape, which is why they can make these adapters. The best way to get 8mm tapes copied on VHS tapes is to use the camcorder as a tape deck and connect it to a VCR's input, and record it from there.

Very good quality, been around for a long time and never lost its nich. Recommmend for small vhc tapes and the price was low if not the best. Other websites will sell this for more money, but this is the most effective and inexpensive item. Highly recommend if hesitant.

I have a VHS and CD machine and all my old tapes from my old camera are VHS, so I really need this adapter. Best Buy had a cheap copy that I bought and it didn't work at all...Bernies didn't have it or know where to purchase one. I then thought of Amazon and was delighted to find just what I wanted shippped directly to my house and it worked just the way the old one did....just remember to take the battery out if you don't plan on using it for a while....that's what happened to me and the battery caroded in the battery compartment.....

this product is easy to use and of good quality. i would recommend it to anyone.
