From Nov. 24, 2010, here I am with my friend Mike, unboxing a 1985 Toshiba VX-340 portable Betamax and accompanying camera, setting them up, and showing them in operation! I got this gear a few years ago from eBay, managed to get the portable Betamax to work, but now it all sits in my garage! This Betamax is the only "B-5" series Betamax to be imported to the U.S.A. - all 5 Beta manufacturers made these in 1985, but they stayed in Japan except for this one. It was the last portable Betamax made, and retailed for a whopping $1200!!
it,s hardly porteble you need to have mussles to carry al this stuff,and since you record everything on vhs or beta tape,you end end with low quality image,also you need to hook it up to a tv to see what you,re doing in color.
