I'm bumping this.
Was just out filming in the cold, got an error saying to eject the tape and it's not letting me. I had this problem with this particular VX before, and swapped batteries and it was fine. Now, if I go to eject the tape, nothing happens...
Unless I pop the battery out, put it back in, and then try to eject it. I hear the familiar whir of the motor kind of 'warming up' to get the tape out, but hope again fades quickly away and I'm left with the tape in the VX.
I'm beginning to believe that this is either
A) Tape deck problem and I hit up Kerry for the first time
B) This kind of thing happens due to the cold (low 30's & windy), and I should stop bumping old threads because I'm being paranoid and once my VX is indoors for more than an hour I'll be fine.
I haven't been filming VX for that long and have never had these issues before with any of my other cameras.
Please don't tell me to go to SP.
