Hama 00044704 storage media case Black

The Hama 00044704 storage media case adapts VHS-C cassettes for playback in standard VHS and S‑VHS recorders. It accommodates VHS-C tapes by housing them in a full‑size VHS shell and includes an integrated motor mechanism to keep the tape taut. The adapter is powered by one AA (1.5 V) battery, which is not supplied.

Advantages

The adapter enables playback of VHS-C videocassettes in full‑format VHS and S‑VHS players without modifying the original cassette. The built‑in motor maintains proper tape tension automatically, reducing the risk of tape slack or jams. Its compact, durable construction provides reliable protection while remaining easy to insert and remove from recorders.

Suitable for

• Converting VHS-C cassettes for playback in VHS and S‑VHS recorders
• Viewing or digitising consumer camcorder tapes
• Archivists and hobbyists organising and accessing VHS‑C collections
