Equipment Recommendations For Shooting a Real Estate Tour Video

April 6, 2011 By Todd Breen

Panasonic HDC TM90 Camcorder

Panasonic HDC TM90 CamcorderPanasonic TM90 camcorder with built in memory, double image stabilization and a wide angle 28mm lens.

I use these new Panasonic cameras in my business.  It has a great optical-type video stabilization system that can defeat even the shakiest hands and its superb light-handling characteristics are perfect for filming in rooms with bright windows.

Azden HS-12 Unidirectional Headset Microphone

Azden HS-12 Unidirectional Headset MicrophoneAzden Unidirectional Headset Microphone – for great voice isolation as you walk through a property – plugs directly into the Panasonic TM90 – No more echoing, volume-varying narration.

I use the Azden shotgun microphone for producing films as Azden mics are known for their “warm” sound.  Other microphones that I’ve experimented with are very abrupt, tinny or hissing sounding.

Panasonic SDR-S70

Panasonic SDR S70 camcorderThe Panasonic SDR-S70 the only inexpensive camcorder that I could find with Optical-type image stabilization, and wow does it ever work well for recording while walking.  It records standard definition video to SD cards and utilizes a built-in microphone (cannot use the Azden mic).  What makes this camcorder great for real estate, besides the optical stabilizer, is the 33mm wide angle lens for capturing more of each room.

Rechargeable Batteries

Panasonic VW-BC10 Battery Charger
