Review: Good performer for a reasonable price. - Easy to use but does not handle early super 8 movie (mid 1970's) all that well. Had to use the "folded paper trick" from their website to get the film to track through the machine smoothly. Later super 8 from the 1980's tracked fine without the paper trick. Useful tip from either one of the posts here or their website, was to run old sproket damaged film through backwards. Then use a video editor to turn the film right way up, flip horizontal and reverse the play and all is well. That tip works a treat. Had to use that twice so far including on an obviously well watched wedding taken on standard 8 in the 70's. Sproket holes were so bad it would not track at all in many places, but of couirse the back side of the sproket holes were perfect. There were no issues with any standard 8 movies, except for worn sproket holes as mentioned above. In terms of use, you do have to baby sit the process, not because of any inherent machine issue but because you get problems with old film, like breaking and sometimes jamming over poor splices. So, you do need to have a film splicer and either film cement or splicing tape handy for running repairs. Also. if you have your film on 400 ft reels you will need to split the film in two as this model Wolverine only tales 200 ft reels. Fortunately my film and splicing gear, including cement, were all stored in an airtight metal box for 30 odd years and so there was minimal deterioration and even half a bottle of film cement for splicing. Overall, a worthwhile purchase. UPDATE September 7th 2018 Was a bit concerned about how it would handle sound striped film. Have 3,000 feet of Super 8 film with sound added on after the processing via a sound stripe. Have processed 1,000 feet of it so far with no issues at all. All of the film is 35 to 45 years old with some of the sound striping being added in 1976.. Adding a sound track via the movie projector, after you have added the sound stipe using a striping machine, is not a process you forget easily. That is how I remeber when it was done so clearly. In any case point is, the Wolverine handled the striped film with no issues except over the taped joins which were used (because of the sound stripe) instead of the usual cement joins. So, a bit of addirional baby sitting needed to watch for the joins.
Review: Small, cute, I AM IN AWE OF THIS DEVICE! - This is one of the most amazing gadget-ty things I have ever owned. YES, there IS a $2500 device you can buy that performs this task more professionally, but I guarantee you it comes no where near achieving ten times the quality of the result. Reading other reviews, I find that buyers were not careful to know what they are buying. Before I expound on that, let me state that I am just DELIRIOUSLY happy to own this thing! Okay! Other reviewers complain as follows: It does not capture audio. It is limited to 5 inch reels. It is limited to 720p scan resolution. The files it creates play back at 30 frames per second (too fast). It only creates mp4 files which are grainy and the video runs too fast. There are many other complaints. There is nothing inherently “grainy” about mp4 files. Graininess on amateur film video is generally from an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit that is trying to compensate for the fact that you are failing to provide enough light for what you are recording. This problem is most over with respect to modern gear which simply does not require the type of illumination that was necessary in home movies and early camcorders….and of course, there is nothing about mp4 files that make them play back at a different speed. What is wrong with 720p? It still looks pretty good on our big screen TVs! Do you think there is much more to capture on a tiny frame of 8mm film? READ the sales information carefully, and none of this should surprise you, and NONE of this is really a problem when you consider that the savings on the first 10 videos you digitize will pay for the cost of this machine. I used the (recently ubiquitous) services of the most visible provider of this service. The results were fine, but I waited a few weeks and paid a lot of money. I since redid a couple of my films myself and the results were EASILY as clear and watchable. Yes, the default playback speed of the videos you create gives you a pretty fast video, but when you use the common software video players, they almost all give you an opportunity to slow it down. I recommend .6 of the recorded speed. If you burn dvds, editors such as Corel VideoStudio and most others will let you CREATE a DVD that plays back at the proper speed without needing any special tweak by the person you send it to. Reading other reviews, it sounds like this machine might not be as sturdy as a Sherman tank. I recommend you do not use it for rewinding. Just rewind by hand with the help of a pencil. Save the motor for the more important use during processing. Keep it clean. Follow the directions about keeping dust out of the little place where the frames are squared up for having their picture taken. To me, with proper use, this should last a pretty long time, and should be fixable for most little minor things that might happen. Most end users would not even need the machine once they have gotten through all of their archival videos. At that point, you can probably sell it online and recover some of your costs. The little 13 page owners manual is very well done, and obviously has ENGLISH as its primary language. Just understand that you should be very cautious and careful with this. If you do that, you will be stupendously delighted as am I. Don't try to compare it feature by feature with devices that cost a four digit number! I could go on further, but there is probably a maximum review length. Ask me questions if you like - I think there is a way you can do that! I am a big fan. John in Wisconsin

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone figured out a way to use 7" reels on this unit?**
A: I found out that the 7" reels that surface mount electronics parts are packaged on for automated manufacturing are the same as old super 8 reels.  I work at a company that has electronics manufacturing and the empties get tossed out.  So, I got a bunch of them with intent to make some pulleys out of them.  Idea was to put a cut down one on the wolverine take up drive, then a rubber belt (actually a girls hair band) over a another for offset and finally a "final drive" that I could put the actual 7" take up on.  Had that stuff mounted on a wood stand.  The supply reel just mounted on another  wood stand with a bolt and wingnut.  Good idea but didn't work well.  The pulleys & belts took too much torque to turn and the wolverine slip clutch was not up to the task.

Plan B, I had a motorized film editor with 2 variable speed drive motors on it.  So, I took that apart and arranged one of the motors to drive my pulley setup instead of the wolverine.  I had to babysit it but it worked and I was able to scan several full 7" reels w/o having to cut them into smaller sections.  Looked real kludgy but got it done.  If I were to be doing a lot more of this, I would rebuild the setup with a proper motor.

**Q: how much can a 32 GB card hold. How many small reels?**
A: My 3-inch reels average about 150 MB each. So a quick back-of-the-napkin calculation is 213 3-inch reels will fit on a 32 GB memory card.

**Q: What is power? is it 220/230v for using in eu?**
A: i have a US unit, it came with an external power supply that plugs into the wall socket. It outputs 12 vdc that plugs into the unit.It should have no issue if the correct wall supply is furnished for the eu unit. Unit actually runs on 12v.

**Q: Once downloadat 30fps to sd card, where to from there? it will probably play in a pc, but how to you get the capture to play on a tv (dvd)?**
A: Import the file into a program like Pinnacle's Studio pro or Adobe Premiere Elements. From there you can create a DVD. Or upload directly to YouTube and you have a watchable movie that will play on your TV if your PC is linked to your TV. That last way is best as the second compression which YouTube does to the movie improves the quality of the video.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I tend to buy good equipment, and was looking for prosumer level options
*by F***S on November 10, 2017*

I waited until I had digitized 100 movies before writing this review. A couple of months ago we inherited about 6000 feet spread over 80 spools of 8mm movies shot in the 1930's and 1940s. Later we were given another 20 super-8 spools from the 70's. My first thought was to get these professionally digitized, but even the cheapest service was going to be several hundred dollars and probably a lot more so I instead looked into doing it myself. I tend to buy good equipment, and was looking for prosumer level options, but found very little out there. Basically there was this unit, and the next cheapest choices was $1200 and it only did super-8. The unit itself feel pretty cheap, and I was concerned that it would not last the length of my project, especially after reading some reviews on an 8mm film enthusiast website. While plastic-y and light weight, it has not missed a beat in my 100 spools. The operation is pretty simple: (1) Pop a 32 gb SD card in the back of the unit (32 GB is as large as it will take and will hold over 200 50 foot movies) (2) Using canned air, or the included puffer brush, clean the light table (3) Thread the movie using the lines printed on the unit. (4) carefully place the film under the two tabs near the light table and close the carrier (5) Push start (6) Go do something else, because this is going to be over 30 minutes for a 50 foot reel. It will automatically stop after it runs out of film but you do tend to get a few seconds of white at the end of your movie which you can ignore or edit out using software (6) Take the card to your computer and upload to youtube, or first convert to 16/18fps using software. I just directly uploaded the files to YouTube and watched them at 75 percent speed which was fine Pros: Works! Makes very acceptable quality files that upload directly to YouTube (you can first convert/edit them) Very easy to learn Stand alone, no need to connect it to a computer until you need to transfer the files For me, a solid unit that did the job at the fraction of the cost of sending them out Works with either 8mm or super-8 movies Cons: Doesn't encode sound (some super-8 had sound) 30 frame per second is not the same as the original movie, so you need to slow down the playback or convert using software Flimsy feeling, need to handle delicately This model maxes out at 200 foot movies, although they have a new unit (pro) that can do longer ones. Keep in mind though that most home movies are 50 feet. Overall would I recommend it? I recommend you do the math. Costco has the cheapest service I could find for digitizing. $19.95 for the first 150 feet then 13 cents per foot thereafter. If you only have 30 or so movies to do, and never plan to shoot anymore (lol) it might make more sense to send them out. if you have a lot of movies, this will get the job done with a nice quality result for a fairly reasonable price. One thing I do recommend though is to GET IT DONE. These movies were excellent, and I wish very much that it had been done when the shooter was still alive. These movies have been sitting in a box for decades and now people are enjoying them again. I was able to share the videos with a history group of the town he grew up in, and they really enjoy these glimpses into the past.
