I own a Canon GL2. I was recommended by the manual to clean at least every 15-20 hours I spend using the camera (for playing and recording)

I bought the official Canon head cleaner, and it's works perfectly as it's expected. Only once in 1 1/2 years has my camera actually alerted me that the heads were dirty. So, I figure my occasional cleaning has done what's supposed to--extend the life of the camera. It's a small price to pay for the comfort that you're keeping your camera as clean as you can.

I RECOMMEND shopping around for prices. Head cleaning tapes greatly vary in price depending on where you buy them from. I've seen this same Canon brand sell from $15 - $35 from different retail sites.

I own a Sony trv8 camcorder.The head was dirty and this cleaning cassette worked for me although I have to clean it 4 times.

We were having problems with our mini DV. We decided to try this cleaning cassette, and our problems were resolved! I would highly recommend this product!

I was worried about costly repairs to my palmcorder. This cleaning cassette kept me from sending my palmcorder in for repair. GREAT PRICE!!

A must for us folks who still own a camcorder that uses mini dv tapes. You know what can go wrong with the video if the heads need cleaning. You can't buy this in camera stores anymore. I can find mini dv tapes and head cleaners at specialty stores but Amazon has the best prices !!!! Thanks Amazon !

I noticed better picture quality after using this as directed. Every Videographer should have one of these in their bag if you use tape and own a canon camera.

I have an Canon GL2 camera and was looking for a product that would be compatible with the camera. I have used it once so far and it seem have done a nice job of cleaning the heads. I did find the price a little high, but if it lasts as stated it should be fine.

I'm sure it doesn't cost much to manufacture this cleaning tape. It's way over price. But I'm using it with a $3500 Canon camcorder so I am willing to pay for the Canon recommended head cleaning tape. Okay, I will stop whinning now.

I FIND THIS A NECESSARY TOOL TO KEEP MY CANON ELURA 100 IN TOP OPERATING CONDITION........

My Canon Gl-2 mini DV cassette type camcorder has frequent dirty head messages on the viewing screen. The only economical way of cleaning the heads in order to prevent the horizontal type lines in the video is to clean the heads your self, instead of taking the camcorder to a professional
camera repair center. The head cleaner works well.
