What is the name of the camera used by TV cameramen? The kind that is carried on the shoulder

You ask about the machine carried on the shoulder?

Nowadays, videographers all carry small computers, such as ex1r and the like. In the front office, when shooting news, I mostly used Panasonic models, such as DVCPRO910 913 and other models.

In the early days, there was also Sony’s betacamsp.

Of course, these are all standard definition. When producing high-quality features in the early days, digital betacams, or betacamsx, were also used. These are shoulder-mounted cameras.

If we push it forward, we still need three people for outdoor shooting, one to resist the machine, one to hold the video bag, and one to hold the stand. Haha, later betacams integrated the camera package, power supply system and camera system, but they were still large enough.
