Cherry pickers allow cameramen to shoot scenes from high angles, and allow directors to get footage from the perfect vantage point. In addition to movies and TV series, cherry pickers are used to help film large sporting events.

Film sets require large lights to be hung or (at times) held to provide the ideal lighting for certain scenes. Cherry pickers make suspending lights all the easier, and the task can be taken care of within a matter of minutes. This is cherry picker are often hired for the entirety of a film project, so that lighting can easily be adjusted whenever necessary.
