Those reading this of a certain age will probably remember when consumer video cameras (not talking Super 8 cams) first became a viable, affordable thing in the UK.
Back then, and I mean way back in the infant years of the 1980s, there were no SD cards, no cloud storage, and not even any mini-tapes to make things more manoeuvrable. No, instead there was a choice of chunky Betamax or VHS video cassette tapes, both of mammoth size and requiring a camera of equally mastodon-esque proportions that, as you might recall/imagine weighed so much you’d have to dust your hands, adjust your lifting belt and then perform a clean and jerk just to get the thing to head-height.
