Sound sync for cine cameras. Home made disc recordings

Telecolor 3007

I love old stuff
If you are an amateur film maker and you want to do it classic, you need a separate sound recording, because no more magstrip films and sound on film cameras, very expensive and very heavy - for me a 1 gallon plastic bottle of water is heavy.
Well, I've done some research. Found out that "Sony" made a reel to reel portable machine that uses some kind of sync, but I don't know how exactly is working and what cameras do you use it: Super8 Sound But I also remembered that some cassette recorders had a remote control by microphone - when you turn the swhitch onto "On" position, it started recording. So I wonder if you can put a swithch on the grip or even is an external one for when you press to film, so in some way to reproduce that switch on the mic. - for the poropouse of audio, you use a non-swtich mic. There where of course other sync devices for separate tape recording, but I looked onto books and found almost none ... There are more modern devices, using digital formats that can have some form of general sync?
Oh, on one book about film making they mentioned about recording sounds on discs. So I wonder if there where ever sync. machines for this. Probably they wheren't made, but I still got the curiousity of recording sound on discs. Here is someting from the '30's: Amateur talking pictures and recording : Brown, Bernard B., 1898-1981 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive, but I wonder if more modern devices where made. I've seen a movie which action took place in the '50's - don't remember the name, because I've seen it probably at least 24 years ago and some one wents to a machine and makes a record. It was a big machines, but house machines as such where made after the war? And what materials they used for the discs?
But the audio band frequency of sound on movie was limited only by tehncology or also by the width of the sound strip?
Ha, they made digital sound on film. Digitaly encoded to be more exactly. I wished they had analog encoded like on the only optical mass produced disc with audio analog: LaserDisc.
