could someone please explain to me what the heads are? I am interested in a vx1000 or 2000 but i still dont know what heads are, which sound important with everybody talking about them.

Heads are the recording heads. Its what writes the data onto your tape. They get worn out and dirty. If you get a VX2000/2100 you don't have much to worry about, but VX1000s were made in 1998, they are old as fuck so you usually want to buy a separate camera to capture your footage onto the computer with so you aren't wearing out the VX1000 heads.

I mean not really. Its just a handle. You can make one out of two L brackets you can get at Home Depot or Lowes.
