But as long as we're abandoning the posted subject (camera view) in favor of safety, let me help you out on the safety angle.

The FAA's official list of Hazardous Attitudes does not contain your pa42-tags. Your safety message, therefore, is vitiated by omitting the Official Buzz Words. But it's OK, I, too, speak Safety, and I'm Here to Help You (an official FAA slogan, in case you've had the good fortune to escape the vernacular in your possibly-FAA-free corner of the planet).

To fit into the official spectrum, we need to choose from the FAA's multiple-choice group of bad-thinking-modes (see any publication on Aeronautical Decision Making):

HazAtts:
1. anti-authority
2. impulsivity
3. invulnerability
4. macho
5. resignation

My trial translation of your descriptive titles suggests that I possess

a) impulsivity ('I want to do this for my own self gratification')

b) invulnerability,('I don't need advice because I know I'm good enough to get away with it')

c) macho?? ('this seems like a good idea')

d) anti-authority (or I wouldn't be drawn into debating angels on the head of a pin with you . . . .)

Which leaves, unfulfilled, resignation. Alas, alack, and Drat, I can't find a whole lot of resignation in my bad attitudes, I only score 80% on the test, except . . . possibly . . . oh, joy, if I give up my search for a better, safer viewfinder because of external bad vibes, then maybe I'm being resigned! Voila, 100% on the HazAtts test. I've arrived!

How'd I do? Are we having fun yet? For sure, this is almost the first time I've gotten a cramp in my tongue from having it stuffed in my cheek . . .
