BirdWoman 0 #1 March 9, 2005 There may have already been a question like this, but I'm too lazy to search for it... A few years back at my old dz I remember a few of the video guys buying mini-DV tapes in bulk, and the price came out to about $4each. I have recently started flying tandem video and am getting tired of spending $5-6 per blank tape... Does anybody know if there is a way to order blank tapes in bulk?

Pendejo 0 #4 March 9, 2005 The people at tape resources are the shit!!! I got my order very fast and it was just what I was told. They also (depending on how many you buy) will sell you the tape racks very cheap! Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!!

PhreeZone 16 #5 March 9, 2005 The tape racks rock huh? I've GOT to get a 10 case holder to take to the DZ this summer for my locker. Screw it right to the side and all my tapes will remain nice and organized all I want.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pendejo 0 #8 March 10, 2005 I like them a lot. We ordered 80 tapes from them and they sent us 3 racks. It was great to have the real racks to put them in. I've been using a make shift rack for a while. Pendejo He who swoops the ditch and does not get out buys the BEER!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skydivesg 7 #15 January 22, 2010 I live 1.5 miles from a Costco. They sell the Sony tapes (with the rack) 10 for $23.00 and they have them every time I go for them. Sometimes they have a $5.00 off coupon. That's when I buy them. No shipping cost is nice.Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
