[Tech1] Can I take you back to the summer of 1986...? (photo ident question)

[Graeme Wall]

The guy top right might have a BVU-50, the record only version of the 110.  Somewhat lighter to carry; both TVS and the regional BBC news camera crews in the south used them. 1” on news was quite rare.

Just guessing, but I think chip cameras were a fair bit later than plain old Betacam. The sound recordist next to him seems  dis-interinterested in him, so BVP-30 man could be on hs own with camera mic.
> The guy top right has a BVW-35 round his neck, or if he’s really unlucky it might be a BVU-110 (U-matic), or even worse, a 1” BVH-500. His long mic, a Sennheiser 805 or 815 in Rycote. No telling what that camera is, or who they are.
