38547 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A video camera with a tape deck mechanism in which the rotary head drum and tape loading device is inserted completely into a dead space in the tape cassette, the lid of the cassette is then closed and the recording/playback operation performed. The tape deck mechanism is reduced in size by having multiple chassis that slide into and fold over each other with the tape cassette contained therein. The tape deck mechanism operates in conjunction with a special tape cassette to increase the available dead space by moving the cassette tape reels apart when the head drum chassis slides into another chassis holding the cassette. The lid of the cassette is opened with a mechanism that does require pressure against the cassette to overcome the lid closing spring of the cassette. The tape deck mechanism can be arranged with the known video camera electronics and optics in various configurations to provide a compact video camera.
