 The moon landing was filmed using cameras developed by RCA and Westinghouse, with the Westinghouse black and white camera capturing Neil Armstrong's first steps on the lunar surface. The footage was transmitted back to Earth and broadcast to millions of viewers worldwide.

I see no reason to doubt that explanation.
I toured the Space Museum  while stationed at Redstone Arsenal in 1975.
They had a few of the space capsules on display. 
They also had the Saturn V engine... :shock:  
What struck me was how "ordinary" the space capsules looked as far as construction methods, materials and devices were concerned. 
If you are familiar with what MILSPEC aeronautical equipment looks like..those early space capsules had no surprises, outside of how minimalistic they were.

True.

It had some kind of autonomous arm that was able to put the camera out there.

Nasa says we don't have the technology to go "back" to the moon

How We Lost The Ability To Travel To The Moon

Robert Frost, Instructor and Flight Controller at NASA , on Quora.

The answer is that they are complex devices. A launch vehicle and spacecraft destined to go to the moon is much more complex and operates at the edge of the envelope where there is little tolerance for imprecision and error.   Image  

Operating a space mission involves reams of paper in the forms of flight rules and operational procedures. Those rules and procedures are drafted over thousands of hours of test and simulations. A change in the vehicle can send ripples of changes through those documents.  Image

The Saturn V rocket had over three million parts. The command and service modules and lunar module were composed of millions of additional parts. An individual person cannot contemplate the scale of detail needed to assemble and operate those vehicles. So, when the Apollo program ended, the factories that assembled those vehicles were re-tasked or shut down. The jigs were disassembled. The molds were destroyed.  The technicians, engineers, scientists, and flight controllers moved onto other jobs. Over time, some of the materials used became obsolete. Image

Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits |

..NASA lost moon footage, but Hollywood restores it (Update) - Phys.org

The GREATEST event in History.....And we destroyed/lost it all....

Another "Pootin Sniffer" conspiracy thread...two dickheads....BV and Sumela the dickhead both constantly pushing conspiracy threads...


Who filmed the moon landing?

The Man in the moon?.....or is the answer the man in a dress?

I toured the Kennedy Space Center and the Smithsonian exhibits. I had the exact same impression you did. Much of it looked like old aeronautic equipment.  Lots of removable panels with knobs and toggle switches. Cramped and uncomfortable - IIRC, most of the early astronauts were all under 6 feet.

All of the copper wiring carries a lot of weight too. 
There has to be a certain amount of redundancy..so plan on added weight with more wiring and electronic gizmos for that too.
As I type this it makes me wonder of they used aluminum cable anywhere to save weight...?
At White Sands Missile Range was where they did the destructive "Torture Chamber" testing of  this sort of electro mechanical equipment before it got the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval..
A big source of trouble early in the Jet / Rocket Age was the over use of soldered connections. Soldered copper strands tend to "work harden" due to vibration and break.
This is what led to the use of solderless "crimp" style connectors called "Cannon Plugs" . The male and female connectors are gold plated brass.
Reliability / survivability / maintainability  testing was a huge success and this technology trickled back into commercial aviation.
