1981 RCA CC009 handheld color camera

A small color vidicon camera with an electronic viewfinder. Extremely light and compact, for having the viewfinder CRT, the vidicon, and all the boards inside it.

White balance controls on the side, and a non-removable zoom lens. A power switch and mic jack are on the back. The microphone is under the plastic side panel, and the windscreen is shaped to the curve of the panel(see photo 4), a very sleek, 80s thing to do.

The camera is working, but the IR filter is a bit clouded on the edges. This is the issue with cameras that don't have removable lenses; if the IR filter is clouded, it's not easy to get to.
