I'd be more concerned about flying towards a rather active thunderstorm, or two!
Yes, that also crossed my mind. Another thing, aren't BOTH pilots usually quite busy on approach and landing? If you're concentrating on filming it, your mind isn't 100% where it needs to be, is it?

It is totally unprofessional and unsafe to land a jet in such conditions. (let alone be stupid enough to videotape it for the authorities to investigate later )
^^ I agree with you there, although I wasn't sure how the weather rated on the severity scale, til it was mentioned in other posts. If you can see lightning, you're probably too close... (I might be wrong with that last sentence though!)
