- I feel closer to giving up on this planet every time I try to search for literally anything online I spent an hour and a half trying to find out if any 80s video cameras had remotes and what they look like so I can draw it at one weird angle for porn I am wasting my time on this planet
- My bsky doesn't have SEO but if anyone is ever wondering: I started out with "80s video camera remote" and got this page pretty early on with one model mentioning a remote; no pictures of the remote and searching for this model name got me nowhere. www.rewindmuseum.com/vhs.htm
- Search stalled, 3 different search engines just kept serving me garbage. Ended up on wiki out of desperation reading about the history of remotes and video cameras. On the camcorder wiki there was a pic next to one of the 2 mentions of the word "remote" of a betamax en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camcorder
- I noticed it has the separate recorder like the first page I found and searched it on a whim. The fucking manual came up on internet archive with a drawing of the remote on page 20. With the model number. archive.org/details/sony...

- Searching the model number gave me this website with photos of every betamax remote that these people could find. www.palsite.com/gremotes.html
- Never kill yourself, the answer is out there and it's on a 1997 website that you have to waterboard out of your search engine
