JVC GR-C1

The camera section was built around a 1/2" Saticon pickup tube,[1] while the recorder used a 20-minute VHS-C video cassette, which could be played back in a standard VHS VCR using an adapter.

A separate RF modulator was available to enable connection to the aerial socket of domestic televisions.

The JVC GR-C1 was famous as Doc Brown's video camera (operated by Marty McFly) in the film Back to the Future.

[4] It also featured in Stranger Things season 2 (set in 1984), as the camcorder Bob Newby hands over to Jonathan Byers to use when he takes Will and the other kids trick-or-treating and is used to record the Mind Flayer.

[5] The JVC GR-C1 was the subject of an episode of Marques Brownlee's YouTube Originals series 'Retro Tech'.
