The 1968 PCP-90 CBS Minicam was at the leading edge portable camera development, it was to full broadcast specification. It was a "two box" solution with only the least amount of electronics in the camera head the rest being in the camera backpack.

 

Although compared to today's cameras this was a big and heavy outfit, it was totally portable and complete with an outgoing radio link and radio receiver for remote control of the camera. A very significant development.
