Early Micro Video Camera Technology 1990's

Note: While antiques are in the eyes of the beholder, this section contains covert video grear from the start of the micro video and digital videl revolution. It is a great lesson on how far things have come in such a short period of time. Although many will not consider this first section spy or investigative antiques, we think it's now time to show the firsts of this revolution. If you are a little older, you will likely remember using some of these covert video products. All of these products were offered and sold in the early 1990's by SpyTek Wholesale Imports and The Spy Exchange.
