Rooftop filming with sdr-h85

One thing that is lacking in the guttering industry is well shot footage that can be used in television adverts or on promotional videos. As a general rule, home owners know when it is time to have their houses re-clad or to have gutters cleaned or installed. However, few roofing companies present much compelling video ad work to persuade customers to go with them. These days, it certainly is possible for roofing teams to do some of their own promotional filming, thanks to the high quality of camcorders that are available on the market. When balancing on a rooftop, you will want something with a tolerance for shaking. Ideally, a camera with an optical image stabiliser - something like the sdr-h85 - would do the job nicely.

This particular model also features a wide angle lens and wind noise cancelling, which comes in handy on gusty days when you are perched at the apex of a roof. Naturally, any professional roofing team will want to hire the services of a professional production crew when it comes to making their official advertisement, but there is definitely cause to shoot a few minutes of action here and there while the crew is on the roof. You never know when you might end up recording something highly interesting that could end up being perfect for the promotional materials. And even in the event that none of the footage makes the final cut, it is still nice to have some documentation of the sort of work that the crew performs.
