A good point
Personally, I find that when I am flying a single seater and filming, I'm
not actually looking at the video camera to see what it is doing. I turn it
on, talk to it or wave it about as I feel necessary, and turn it off again.
I dont actually see what I've come up with till I'm back on the ground.
Most of the time I have the camera mounted which saves even more hastle.
Quite often I turn it on before launch and just let it run to the end, but
this of course gives you lots of footage to sift through. Generally I feel
a half second to turn it on and off is acceptable
Of course, in the case of the nimbus video, I was staring at the camera the
whole time, but thats ok cos Dave was flying, as you have pointed out.
Maybe think of it the same as any other instrument? A brief look then head
up and lookout again? I have to say, most of the videos I've seen on
youtube and so on have been from mounted cameras.
Interesting topic though

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Flarmtube?
The abundance of gliding in-flight videos on Youtube et al gets me to
thinking: will we need to put Flarm readouts in video-camera viewfinders
and/or LCD screens? It seems like a lot of folks are stooging about the
sky peering through or at AV devices rather than outside (Cathy - I know
Tom and Dave had at least one pair of Mk 1 eyeballs focussed on the
outside world!). There is a slightly disturbing amount of single-seat
video action on the web; this makes me wonder about the effect this may
have on lookout and situational awareness.
I dunno - call me a crusty old Luddite and one-time TTH owner if you
will; I just hope that someone doesn't blunder into someone else while
filming that fabulous cloudstreet, sexy lennie or 11 kt climb on the
averager. Am I being overly concerned? Answers on the back of a pixel,
please.
