All of the VHS portable recorders and matching cameras used the same plug and jack, a ten-pin one. Beta decks and matching cameras used a 14-pin connector.
In my other hobby (ATV, television over ham radio), the VHS-type cameras have been widely used to the extent that many of the ATV transmitters have had the matching jack included on the front panel. I have several of those cameras; at ham radio flea markets in the 90s they were often available at low prices. The best ones have built-in video title generators that are perfect for putting your call sign on the screen.
