I joined the BBC in 1977 and spent my first 10 of 33 years in the corporation using the EMI 2001. How lovely to see it once again and so well explained.
@@harrycoffeynield6941 Agreed. I would pay a small fortune to have one of these gliding around my lounge. When I was about 7 years old, I made one out of a painted white box and various bits like half a pool cue as a pan handle :)
Thanks for posting this great film. I've always wanted a close up view and explanation of just what the camera crews had in the 70's and 80's. fantastic!
In the Polish Television (TVP) we used the same pedestal/dolly system, but we had at beginning Philips-colour studio television cameras, which were later on quickly replaced with much better German made *BOSH Fernseh KCK (40A)* with "Schneider" Zoom Lens. In Poland we used to work in SECAM standard television colour system.
@jamestheposh Haha. Small world huh? I spent a little while in that Rotunda building, copying things as I used to build camera cranes etc. Now I use Super 35mm and work with camera helicopters. `Ground to air' as they say. I also have some pictures of those camera's from that building. On Polaroid's though. haha...Polawhat?
when i was at kmgh tv in the 1970s we used .. tk-44a rca then i worked up to the e.n.g e.fp like rca ikegamis im not to hot abt sony betas but the hd ikegamis were grreat!
That is one monster lens! I'm surprised there is no shutter or aperture controls. I assume the lens is wide open so if necessary you can introduce neutral density filters to stop down.
These where propably set in a studio so there would be always the same amount of light or it could be easoely set wow much light is available so a shutter or an apperture would not be necessary
@@MrManniG There is an Iris for aperture, it isn't controlled by the operator but by the racks engineers. There will also be probably some ND filters you can change as well.
yes he does know what he is doing he operated one and worked for the BBC until 1976 his name is John Henshall ,he is now the vice president of the guild of television cameramen,,the reason for his nervousness is that at the time he thought he could be caught out by the BBC middle management at the time ,i hope this will clarify the issue ,he now runs his own company

You probably can and not for very much. Try googling. Only problem will be when it breaks down. @@harrycoffeynield6941
Always wanted one of these cameras. Used to fascinate me as a kid seeing them in studio shots.

Thats amazing. Cameras are one piece of technology that interest me alo. I love checking out hey day cameras. Thats a big zoom lens
A good insight into studio cameras from that era :o)
That is gigantic, would love to have one of those.
Me watching this camera 2001a sunday early morning into my bed, cloudy day of Autum from 🇨🇱
Super Camera!
Zoom presets are preferred by a lot of camera men and are not preferred by a lot of camera men and are therefore a useful reference . . . . . .
relíquia este video,,, serviu pra um livro "ON CAMERA", corrija se eu estiver errado..
I wonder what BBC televisual delights this particular camera has caught. If only it could talk. I wonder where it is today.
@digitalbroadcaster
They did, I used them. I've got some pics somewhere. They also had the old BBC South Today set from the late 80's.
😍😍😍😍
Imagine if we could go back in time and show off our smart phones... they would think we were witches or something...
@ajuk1 - 2001 is the model of this camera.
I still remember Polaroid.
At least come universities got some good use out of this equipment afterwards.
Great stuff. I wanted to be a cameraman.
mental i watched most of pt 2 before 1 cause of youtube
I think some of these cameras and ped's ended up in the media department of Portsmouth University.
Second Unit Aerials there was one in use still at Elstree up until 1991

Vision control , deal with the exposure and colour ballance , Racks as the presenter called them

"panned up" just 0ver 2 min in lol does he not mean " tilted up" as you only ever pan left or right lol
Thats a big heavy zoom lens. Probably about 30 to 40 pounds
