Taking photos/videos of the flight experience, don't know if it's generally accepted, but I'd

1. Avoid any other person in frame;
2. If crowded, avoid their faces;
3. For meal distribution where the cabin crew is in, I'd avoid their faces into frame; and not to publish their direct faces;
4. Use a small camera/phone to not make a scene;
5. Make my camera visible so others know I'm filming (and filming what);
6. Be available to show and remove any image involving another person once requested.

Re suction cup thing, I do film takeoff on camera handheld (airplane mode; admit I'm not strict safety guy), and I'd understand the claim that the suction cup might loosen and fell during the takeoff/landing vibration.

It's not a privacy related matter (well it may be a secondary concern) but one of safety. In an accident the suction cup wont last long and the camera becomes a flying missile in the cabin. Anything in the cabin has to be bolted down and ferociously tested.

I cant imagine the footage being any good anyway with the amount of vibration on takeoff.

uh how is that any different to cutler/glassware /pens!! etc

So you could let one loose unguided and it's allowed?

What about my emotional support peacock? :p :p :p

I was thinking the drones might be more of an issue being a one pound object going 20 mph with 4 or more spinning blades on it than the whole remote issue.

Your right the footage on landing isn't great. This is a time-lapse sequence I took on ANA on landing the NRT a few years back using the spring clamp mount on a 787.


I also did a time-lapse sequence once on CX for a first class meal, but I can't seem to find it now, as I never loaded to YouTube unfortunately.
