a TBC in some sort of form is really needed, i'm having the Panasonic DMR-ES35V and this one works great ! it has stabilisation, because it has also a DVD recorder, to transfer VHS tapes to DVD, It has component output,
which is also a great advantage, i can output 625 i/p from that.
An external TBC (dumped pro ones) you can find on eBay, but some things even an TBC can't correct, DataVideo also makes TBC devices, but a better bet, is still a VHS recorder with build in stabilization, like when it also has a dvd recorder in it, otherwise you come into the range of Prosumer vhs recorders, or the Pro ones, when they are secondhand and payable.
Also fast storage is needed when capturing, internal SSD 1TB, or external through an interface at least USB 3 or ThunderBolt2.
A capture device with USB will be a critical point.... you need a good chipset for it to work good, checkout here for that.
I 've got the Thunderbolt 2 version of the Intensity Shuttle, to avoid possible USB troubles, but have still some minor external USB storage "glitches" which i thought had overcome.
edit> I now capture in ProRes LT which works even better, makes smaller files, and has much slower data transfer rates to your storage device.
