    1. The VHS-C cassete is going into bigger cassette mechanism that fit into VHS, still have  adapter cassette and telefunken camcorder somewhere.

  1. The title bothers me. Snapchat doesn’t record video, it stores them publicly, where everyone can see. Heres some alternatives.
    Before Video8, people recorder with this.
    Before MiniDV, people recorded with this.
    Before the sd card, people recorde video with this.
    And the best one,
    A history of the JVC GR-C1.(or whatever model your showing, I haven’t watched it all.)
    This is more of a commercial missing the 4:9 aspect than a video about a camera older than snapchat, both having nothing go do with eatch other.
