With a hand held camera the pilot has to point the camera to frame the
picture. With a fixed camera the pilot has to point the glider to
frame the picture. While it may be possible to turn it on and forget
it, I think it is possible, or even probable, that there would be a
temptation to fly differently with an active camera on board.
