I do remember that my family’s first ever VCR had a remote control that was attached by a long wire, much like the controllers of older video game systems. Except my terminology isn’t right. It wasn’t a VC*R* because it couldn’t *R*. It could only PLAY tapes, not record. And I think it was Beta.

Never saw a tripod, though.

There were some “real” remote controls but they didn’t have deep market penetration. One system was ultrasonic … in theory … but it was prone to changing the channel if somebody jingled their keys.

Great pic otherwise! Good find.
