The Videon is a 35mm stereo camera comprising a bakelite-type plastic body with metal top and bottom plates, produced by Stereocrafters of Wisconsin, USA, in the 1950s. A Videon II succeeded the Videon in the mid 50s. Exposures overlap on the film; brass sprockets in the Videon have a tendency to tear sprocket holes.
