Are there not tiny, little micro-cameras that one can clip inconspicuously to a blouse or shirt? It probably helps if the clothing is the same color as the camera.
The better question is if there is a way to detect unwanted camera attention. And there is… https://www.spyshop.co.uk/Counter-Su...tector-scanner |
If they need to hide cameras, maybe they shouldn't be recording in the first place.

No, the thread with the vlogger is the perfect place for "vloggers are annoying" commentary. This will probably get merged with existing Vloggers Are Annoying threads - I see the master one just got bumped.
This is a common rule in many places and with many airlines - you're generally not supposed to film airline/airport operations. (And definitely not security, immigration, or customs operations.) They have the right to tell you to stop and often do. Of course, people snapping normal travel photos with their phones - of their friends or the airplane itself - no big deal, you won't get hassled for that. But somebody shooting video of the boarding process is probably going to attract attention. And FWIW I fly a lot and don't see people doing this and getting away with it. If it is happening, then they are concealing it well enough to not get caught. |

IMO, OP? You're probably just "old"; the YTers are likely mostly young and get a pass 🤷♂️

Yes and not even the crew. This is getting out of hand now I think. I wanted to take some pics and they told me no and also cannot take of any passengers either. It is only allowed to take own pictures or the aircraft without taking any of other passengers. Not sure if the passengers have the right to take pics of other passengers and crew without their permission or not?

Many areas in an airport is not allowed to video or take pics. Especially the immigration, security and customs area. Big signage. In flight I have seen passengers companion too and the crew asked the taker to stop taking it. I am sure they have no issues if they take selfies or of themselves or the fittings inside an aircraft. In my case the crew told me that it was not allowed. On two airlines and I have never tried after that.

How do other YouTubers get away with this? I've decided to start vlogging my airplane travel, as I go to some unique destinations for work. I tried to film my boarding procedure but got told to stop and delete footage by a FA. Yet, I see plenty of youtubers filming their boarding procedure with no issue. This was American Airlines. I really want to get into this sub-niche of aviation youtubing, but I do not want to cause myself extra grief with the airlines.
(I would never film other pax or FAs. Just B roll of walking on, etc. And please save your "vloggers are annoying" commentary for elsewhere. I'm asking for help to be less intrusive.) If you still want to film AA flights, don't be obvious about it. I have filmed United, Air Canada, Porter, and Lufthansa flights without issues without any prior permission. |

Big fan of Jeb, him and Susanne seem very sweet, and some of those train journeys look incredible.
Unfortunately there's relatively few Amtrak options in Florida, but we're still planning on going on at least 1-2 long-distance Amtrak trips this year. |

That's not true in the US for pictures in public. There might be restrictions on use, but nothing prohibiting pictures themselves.

The TSA says, right on their own website, that photography is permitted in the security checkpoints as long as you aren't interfering with the screening process or revealing sensitive information. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/frequentl...not%20revealed. |

Recording of crews performing safety or security related activities is generally prohibited by the individual operators, but AFAIK there is no FAR against it (other than following instructions from crews/placards/etc. and this being one of those instructions). Airport terminals are also generally considered public places with very few exceptions. -J. |
The Counsel for the National Photographers Association says it is not a public place like the sidewalk etc. It is more like a concert where the organizers can stop people taking pictures or videos. He also says most airlines have a small fine print in that they can stop you from doing so. The problem is that sometimes they enforce it and sometimes they do not.
