1985
Innovative Product: VHS camcorder
The company's first VHS camcorder, the NV-M1, was developed in 1985 as a VHS video recorder with a built-in camera that allowed recording using a standard VHS cassette. In those days, there was a mounting need for a video with a built-in camera that could easily be used by anyone.
Adopting a new loading system, a compact head cylinder and other brand-new technologies, the video was compact and very light, weighing only 2.5 kg.
