minicams
Small video cameras
Minicams are small, portable video cameras, originally developed for television news gathering in the 1970s as a lighter alternative to bulky studio equipment.
The term now applies broadly to any compact camera used for recording video, from security cameras to action cameras worn during sports.
The news crew arrived with minicams to cover the protest.
The word emphasizes portability and ease of use rather than any specific technical specifications.
