[Tech1] Single camera working

[dave.mdv]

Many years ago when I was on BBC Sports Unit 2 PSC we were doing a shoot 
at Brentford football ground from the gantry. Alongside us was a 
?teenage Sky cameraperson who had taped his stereo mic on top of his 
zoom lens and couldn't get his camcorder to record. I asked him about 
the record tab on the tape cassette and he didn't know there was one. He 
received used cassettes through the post! His next shoot was in Europe 
where he was expected to do do several radio mics, and light, as well as 
operate the camera, all on his own! Those were the days! Cheers, Dave
