- Product description
The VPR-5 is a 1-inch C-format portable broadcast video recorder. Developed as a joint-venture with the AMPEX corporation of America it was introduced in 1983 as the world's smallest, lightest broadcast quality portable video reorder. Available in both PAL (for European) and NTSC (North American) television formats the VPR-5 allowed broadcast quality video to be shot on-location.
I placed detailed information in my blog.
(there is a mention in blog of the car life)
The applicable addresses of "Nagra VPR-5" are as follows.

VPR5でアニソン再生してる人は全人類であなただけかもしれない
A Nagra VTR... I mean... I guess the biggest name in portable tape based recorders would try it out... but damn... I want to see more of it. That really is one thing of pure mechanical beauty.
Thanks for your comment.
The VPR-5 was displayed in a glass showcase at the Broadcast Equipment Exhibition when it was launched, illuminated and shining like a work of art.
Visitors looked at the stunningly beautiful VPR-5 and could not believe that this was a realistic piece of equipment to use on location.
For NAGRA, the VPR-5 seemed to be the representative of technical competence and the company's image.
The high quality and high price were excessive for an industrial device, so it did not seem to be business conscious.
In many ways, it was a different dimension from Sony, HITACHI, NEC, Bosch and others.

They have 3 USB Type-C ports on a battery pack in 1983! Awesome technologies ahead of its time!
I hope your joking
Mind-boggling technical achievement by two incredible companies.
Have seen many photos, but this video, with a VPR-5 actually running, is a first for me.
And...and...if that wasn't enough, there are TWO VPR-5s in the same frame.
You made my day....(and its Monday)...what are the odds??
the things we take for granted today. I remember when (1) all phones had dials and wires (2) the smallest computer was the size of a refrigerator (3) security cameras were only located in banks (4) there were only three TV channels (that signed off the air at 1AM) (5) _everything_ was closed on Sunday
昔は、テープでもCDでもDVDでも、何でも回転していた。
今は、AVCHDとやらで、回転系記録メディアは絶滅したかと思いきや、放送業務用のENGカメラが、XDCAMと言うカバー付きブルーレイもどきの回転系メディアである事実。
I worked for Ampex as a software engineer in AVSD (video editing) during the production ramp-up of these magnificent machines. On a visit to Kudelski in Switzerland I learned that the deck plate for the VPR-5 is milled from titanium. I held one and it was light as a feather!
Surely this is the most beautiful, elegant 1-inch helical-scan machine ever created in all of history. The SONY VBH-2000, very sturdy and a hard worker but not truly portable, looks like a draft horse in comparison to a fine Swiss watch. Regrettably, today's high-bandwidth formats often show every little flaw of the talent. I spent hundreds of hours loading those Sonys but never set eyes on the magnificent craftsmanship we see here.
"How do we know it's portable? It's got a handle on it, doesn't it?"
thank you for your comment.
Sorry for the late reply.
You can use the battery pack as shown in the video.
Shoulder straps or aluminum carrying frames are optional, so use them.
Did you also need a "Color Stabilizer"? For what purpose?
The Swiss. Insane peak humans.
One single play head on head drum ? One field per rotation ? Interesting....
I did not known that there was such a system. I've thought the minimum was 2 heads on one drum.
What was the playing time of these tape reels on this machine?
What a beautiful machine!
すごいと思って見てたら2台も！！
ヘッドは5400rpmですか？
ヘッド寿命もどのくらいか気になりますね。
コメントありがとうございます。
その後、１台後期型を入手して、初期型２台、後期型１台の計３台になりました。
大型連装充電器や背負子フレームなどの周辺機器も少しづつ充実しつつあります。
放送用１インチVTRとしては、最も小型では無いかと思います。
何と言っても出来が良いが気に言っております。
へッドの回転数は確か・・・
3600rpm程度だったと思います。
テンションが強いんで、ドラムの騒音はそれなりに大きいです。
ヘッド寿命はかなりありそうですが、RF波形を見ますと入り口と出口が早く減るみたいです。
ご興味頂き、重ねてありがとうございました。
Amazing! What a great tape machine.
Neat setup, What's that box next to the TV doing?
So cool 👍🏻👍🏻
Did it also have a cover?
I remember getting one of these in our studio, same day as a Panavision HD demo camera.
One big issue always was cost. Our day rate was about $1200 for a crew of two. That was for a 3/4 Umatic. The Sony 1" portable was about $1000 more per day. The Nagra added another $600.
But we did have a VPR-1C that was only $600 above the day rate. It weighed 500 lbs but it did have four handles for portability.
Even though it was on our rate card, no one ever took us up on the deal for a Nagra. What the heck, we'd have to go out and sub-rent one for the day to cover it. Same as the Sony.
When recruiters see Ampex on my resume, I believe they think it's Apex (Correspondence Course).
Шикарный !
Прикольный портативный незаметный шпионский диктофон Штирлица. Кроме звука можно ещё и видео врага записать! 🙃
А если кроме шуток, то очень крутая симпатичная машинка. Инженерное чудо!
curious, who is the artist in the video recording?

black bullet XD
ممتاز
That is a weird tape path, I did not expect to see the reels turning in opposite directions.
Powerful drive systems and servo technology allow for a variety of reel play.
Although it is not widely known, the reel motor and brake are housed in the reel hub because the housing is too thin to accommodate the motor.
The major drawback of the VPR-5 is the reel brake. The reel brake is always locked by a spring and only releases constantly when the power is turned on.
This is because the reel is controlled using both servo technology and a brake.
If the power is not turned on for several years, the brake shoes will remain stuck to the hub and lock, causing failure.
This is caused by the original shoe material and should be replaced with a countermeasure shoe before it fails.
@@M6E64 Interesting. I don't think I'll ever be able to get one of these machines, but I've long thought they were really neat.
NTSC. Not the very best system. PAL was/is much better!
i want one, were can i get one and how much would it cost me .
