So, at the subsequent FAA investigation, they might get to conclude that the crash occurred because the pilot failed to enter auto in time due to the distraction of trying to operate an illegal modification to the aircraft eg camera/laptop/trackball.
FLY THE AIRCRAFT FIRST, SECOND AND ALWAYS.
One of the problems of private flying is that you are generally out of the flight safety information loop that exists in military or commercial ops - the number of aircraft lost due to pilot error/distraction is enormous - but if you have never seen the stories or read the crash comics, you won't benefit from learning from others mistakes. So many accidents have started as a 'this seems like a good idea' flash of inspiration - do you not think that the reason that there isn't a camera kit available is because it's a dangerous idea?
