Mysterious gap in history

I have been trying to find out just when the camcorder's immediate predecessor, the two-piece battery-powered portable camera and tape deck outfit, was first sold as a consumer product designed for personal use, as distinct from pro versions meant for news-gathering and the like. The Betamax and VHS articles disappointed me, and this article seemed a more promising source, but its "History" section leaps from two-piece and one-piece pro equipment to the first consumer camcorder in 1983 with no hint that such products ever existed, which they certainly did. Will someone kindly fill in the blank, including a "first" date? 66.81.104.65 (talk) 22:06, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
