The Canon DV Dry Cleaning Cassette is made exclusively for Canon's digital video units. Keeping your camcorder's heads clean to ensure trouble-free usage.
Works just as it's supposed to. No complaints. Used with GL2.
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.
It worked for me
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.
Sometimes it just needs a good cleaning!
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!
