Good morning.
Just a post to help anyone new that is starting out doing gutters or those that have been doing it for ages but didn't ever consider using a safety tether on their camera.
With a variety of OEM and aftermarket gutter inspection camera systems on the market any camera you have is an investment and having it on the top of a pole can become loose or the mount could fail and fall damaging your camera.
There are many ways to secure a camera but I personally make all my own 2mm stainless steel wire safety tethers that are a 8" long with two eyelets at each end.
One loop fits securely over the thumb screw if using gopros or action cameras
You can also secure the generic cctv style camera systems that use an oversized sprung tool clip aswell.
Work safe work smarter
