Wow, this is a fascinating piece of equipment! These days Sony has a very similar system called "Balanced Optical Steady Shot" in their high end HD and 4K camcorders. Very interesting to know that this technique of moving the entire lens system has actually been around since 1988!
I had a PV-330D for 8 years until it was stolen. I wanted the 460D so bad, but couldn’t get my mom to pay the extra. The 330 had a manual macro since it didn’t have EIS. The 330 had more effects features like wipe modes.
Informative video! Just found one of these at a thrift shop but missing the battery and charger. Would you happen to have the model number's of yours? Uncertain if I have the right ones in my amazon cart. Thanks for the post!!
Do you know where you could find the manual for this exact model? I have gotten one recently and noticed mine is in black and white and can't figure it out.
Mr Magnétoscope It's odd, you would think they would reserve a flatter mechanism with less weight for the portable machines. One without a lift cam assembly for the pinch roller.
I grew up with Panasonic vhs equipment. I Really like using camcorders.

Wow, this is some very interesting technology, especially for 1988!
Great video and review. We still have ours purchased September 1988. They don’t build them like this anymore. Like a tank. 😇
Humungous lookin' and solid 80's stuff.
@10:45 At least this camera doesn't emit radiation nor tracks your location.

I didn't know some Panasonic VHS camcorders had the G deck mechanism.
