Film to Digital Converter Review – Kodak Reels Digitizer – Deep Dive
This is a deep dive review of the Kodak Reels 8mm and Super 8 Film Converter Film Converter
In this video I did a deep dive review of the Kodak Reels, you can find a link to this device here
KODAK REELS 8mm & Super 8 Films Digitizer Converter with Big 5” Screen
This device handles 3″, 4″, 5″, 7″, and 9″ Reels
Produces 1080p digital videos on a SD card and will allow you to share your memories with your family again.
Another great device that is similar is the Wolverine 8mm & Super 8 Reels to Digital Movie Maker Pro Film Digitizer
It also handles 3″, 4″, 5″, 7″, and 9″ Reels and Produces 1080p digital videos like the Kodak REELS.
The Wolverine 8mm and Super 8 Film Reel Converter is a cheaper version of the Wolverine Pro, but it only handles 3″ and 5″ reels and produces 720p digital videos
Any Memory Card should work for these devices, but I used a SanDisk 32GB 3-Pack
