There were no home video cameras in the 1960s. The first one was released in the early 80s.
It would have been Cine cameras - film rolls, in other words - in the 60s & 70s.
Mostly 8mm for home use, or 16mm if a real enthusiast or economy but better gear for B movies.
Professional or higher quality movies would usually be made using 35mm or 70mm equipment.
The early home cine cameras were typically mechanical, using a wind-up mechanism to run the shutter and transport the film.
A typical 8mm one below - the big fold out handle on the side is the winder:
