We've come a long way, baby.
Anyone remember the size and weight of the battery pack that was used to power the Video 8 cam?? I do, and it was held in a seperate shoulder strap holster and probably could have started a motor cycle.

Hi Joe
I'm not familiar with the video 8 power pack, but I can attest to the HVC 2200 power unit. It consisted of the SL2000 beta recorder and battery pack; vinal shoulder strap carrying case extra.
If you purchased the matching TT2200 tuner, you had a mono beta recorder.
Lines of resolution on the camera was limited by the recorder, which was around 250. SuperBeta extended lines to 270-280, Hi-8 was 380-440 while EDBeta approached 500.
