The guy in the last video has got the right idea. YouTube - Beech 1900 in Africa
You can tell by the vignetting and the stability of the camera that it's a bullet [lipstick] camera. I infinately prefer to use the bullet camera. You can set it all up before the captain even gets into the aircraft, and it's a simple one-touch record and one-touch stop button.
It records better footage because of the angles of view, etc., and even records the audio. So: safer AND better. If you're serious about making flying videos, as far as I'm concerned it's the only way to go.

You comment about the terminilogy the previous user used for the rudder pedals (see yaw pedals) and here you are talking about the OTHER FADEC taking over in case of failure.
Get you facts right.
Each engine operates by one DUAL channel FADEC and cannot operate from another engine FADEC in case of failure.
The FADEC will auto reset and operate on the other channel.
Channels change with each engine start up.

Stupid
What about this guy?

Hope this wasn't a public transport flight! I bet the captain was delighted to see this on you tube.
What next, videos of people busting minimums on you tube?

Pilot video
If it is illegal to use a hand held mobile telephone whilst driving how could any professional pilot try and justify either pilot using a video during takeoff or landing? In fifty years in aviation I have never witnessed a pilot, or any other operating crew member, using a video or any other camera during a critical phase of flight. To do so would be totally unprofessional and unacceptable in my opinion.

Professionalism sure has taken a beating in the past decade or so. The fact that we're even talking about this, whether sarcastically or not, shows a degradation in the quality of those amongst our ranks.
If you feel that way, how about bringing the matter up with your CP or DO and see what kind of a response you'll get. It's going to get even uglier, there are numerous posts of airliners in flight on airliners.net posting position, flight level and flight number. Management will have another
problem on their hands very soon.
