Will an airport x-ray machine hurt MiniDV camera film?

Question

The kind of machine that they make you put your carry-on bags through.

Answer 1

I have worked as a security guard down by the cruise ships a few years ago working the X-ray machines and n0t one camera got erased at all.. It all depends on the speed of camera the faster the more chances of it getting ruined..

Answer 2

I have one and just recentley went to vegas it did not do anything to the tapes or camera hope this helps

Answer 3

it has been said that it might erase tapes but there is no evidence of that. i've travelled interstate and been scanned a couple of times with no problems.

ask if you can take the tapes and bypass scanning. they might refuse but it's worth a try.
