JVC Saticon Tube

Get the look: 1970 - 1980

Capture authentic videotape footage from the 1970s through the 1980s using the JVC Saticon Tube Camera. This JVC employs three Saticon pickup tubes, known for creating the iconic comet trail highlights common of this era, producing a soft look and period-appropriate color shift. This camera’s native analog signal has been seamlessly converted to record digitally, easily integrating into any modern post-production workflow.

We have updated this camera to include a Gold Mount Battery plate, modern 12v power outs and an interchangeable 6.4x (11-70 mm), f1.6 C-mount zoom lens.
