Back in the 1970s, the TV station I worked for made the decision to retire our film cameras and upgrade to ENG (electronic news gathering) equipment.
The first camera I had was an Ikegami that weighed about 5 pounds, but came with a record deck on a strap to hang on my shoulder. This "deck" weighed about 40 pounds and required 2 bandoleers of Nicad batteries also across my shoulders. This setup cost $27,000.
One of the other guys accidentally left the camera on the roof of the station wagon and it slid off as he drove away from a spot news actuality and smashed into a million pieces. I was glad it wasn't me...
