Recently I saw may youtuber reviewing flight experience and the common shot I saw is the take off and landing.
My question is,
Is it safe to use electronic device to film the take off and landing ? (I assumed most youtuber is using Gopro kind of camera)
Is it allowed to use electronic device to film the take off and landing ?
I have been researching and the answer is quite broad. and mostly they are talking about a snapping photo, not a clip video. but still, conclusion is passenger should keep everything in the front pocket or under the seat during take off and landing.
Best Answer
Listen to the safety briefing and other announcements. The airline will tell you what you shouldn't do.
My experience: They used to tell passengers to switch off all electronic devices, but starting from a few years ago, they started telling passengers to switch off large electronic devices, and small devices may be used if they are securely held in your hand.
And in all cases, devices that have a flight mode should be switched to flight mode, even if turned off (so that they'll be in flight mode when you turn them back on during the flight).

Can you record a plane taking off?
Bottom Line: Yes, you can record, but it has to be public information (nothing private, like monitors) and you'll still have to put your phone or camera through the x-ray machine and walk through without alarm. Be careful if you're thinking of filming TSA agents in action at security.Can you record plane landing?
All airlines I've flown with in recent memory have required that all personal electronic devices must be put away and stowed underseat or in the overhead bins during takeoff and landing.Can you use a camera on an airplane?
Yes, you will be able to fly with a DSLR camera in both your hand and checked luggage. However, if you are carrying it in your carry-on luggage, which we recommend, you should check with the airline that your camera will be able to fit in the overhead bin and not need to be gate-checked.What does a plane feel like when it takes off?
Shortly after takeoff you may feel a sinking sensation, that happens when the flaps are retracted, allowing the plane to accelerate. You may also hear the engines throttle back, sometimes ATC asks us to level off because traffic is above us. Once clear we will add power and continue climbing.Why can't I use my phone during take-off or landing on a flight?

Answer 2
Yes, in most cases. Years ago the airlines and regulators determined that electronic devices are safe to use in all phases of flight.
There are 1000's of videos of takeoff and landing on Rumble, Odysee, YouTube, etc.
The Cabin Crew will announce the specific rules so listen carefully.
Large electronic devices must be stowed because they become a significant projectile risk in an emergency situation.
