Sure! Check out our top tips for creating your review on the Bosch 18V Tool:

DO:

• Be honest and insightful: We‘re not looking for a sales pitch, we‘re looking for an expert review by a professional tradesperson. Choose a true test scenario and make it insightful: What do you like about Bosch’s 18V Range of Tools? How does it make hard work easier?
• Show the best angles:Make sure viewers can clearly see your test up close in the video.
• Use the right format & licence-free music: Video length should be between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. If you use music, please make sure it is royalty-free.
• Use good lighting & sound: Make sure you and the tool are clearly visible. Do a sound-check before filming. A good location can make all the difference!
• Use a tripod (or cameraperson): Filming yourself is amateurish at best, and dangerous at worst! Ask a buddy to do the filming for you.
• Show tools on their "sunny" side: Viewers should be able to see the Bosch logo and model name.

DON‘T

• … forget to wear your safety gear on film. PROs put safety first. Plus: It‘s a legal thing.
• … multi-task while filming. Only talk to the camera before or after using the tool. It‘s safer for you and this way the noise of the tool won‘t prevent viewers from hearing what you have to say.
• ... film third-parties without their consent or let third-parties handle the tool.
• … show tools from other power tool brands in your video.
