The Sony SL-F1 was the successor to the SL-3000 portable video recorder.
It came out in 1982 and used the same direct drive reel mechanism
as the SL-C9 which gave the F1 incredibly

The SL-F1 system was designed for mobile use, and was intended to be connected to a camera for outside filming. As such this unit could be operated either via a battery pack or via a DC adaptor. The F1 was part of a range of Sony units which included the TT-F1, a companion tuner timer unit, the AC-F1 charger/power supply and the PCM-F1, portable PCM adaptor. There was also a camera and backpack available. Details, we hope, will soon be available on these. Features include:
