Description:
This is a vintage Toshiba Zoom Video Camera, model TA-11 (or TA-11E), first released in the 1970s. One of the earliest consumer color video cameras, it uses a single vidicon tube for color recording. The camera requires an external power supply and must be connected to a VCR or monitor, as it lacks a built-in screen. It features a power zoom lens with wide (W) and telephoto (T) buttons and a trigger-style recording switch on the handle.
