Here's me using a portable Sony SL-2000 Betamax recorder from 1981 on a battery, paired with an HVC-2800 Saticon video camera from 1982 at 2022. Before camcorders, these two components were linked together using an external cable. The camera weighs about 6 pounds and the recorder is 10 pounds. Sony's later Betamovie and JVC's VideoMovie combined the camera and recorder into a single component you could carry on your shoulder.

Here is a high quality scan of the Polaroid that was taken of me during , with The 8-Bit Guy in the background. He signed the back of it, even though him appearing in the shot was unintentionally. I would like to get into contact with the person who took this photo, if you took it please message me, thank you!
