Camera with integral magnetic recorder

摘要

A video camera with an integral VTR is disclosed, which has a support structure supporting a camera section and a VTR. The support structure has three base plates made integrally with one another and extending perpendicularly to one another. The first base plate is secured to a transverselly central portion of the rear surface of the second base plate. The first and second base plates are secured to the top surface of the third base plate. The VTR is mounted on the first base plate. A mount is secured by bars to the front surface of the second base plate, in such a way that it is spaced at a suitable distance therefrom. An image pickup lens system and an image sensor for converting light into an electrical signal are mounted on the mount. A grip is secured to the underside of a portion of the third base plate, where the first and second base plates cross each other.
