[Nzeddy]

Filmed this with the GoPro HD Hero 2.

It looked like you parked in the domestic terminal ?

[Nzeddy]

International terminal. Took off from Auckland.

Great clip , and well done. Thanks for sharing

I took it from the position off the control tower , or what looked the CT ... must have been confuse with another structure or the way you come in .... be from the South !

Just a quick question... they ask you to turn off all electronic devices when descending towards a landing (or taking off), and the trolley dolly usually walks the planes making sure things like iPods are off. Do you guys that take videos etc hide the camera when they walk past or don't start recording till the assistant sits down again?

I got told once to turn off my handheld GPSr as it could "affect the plane's navigation and electrical systems" even though that doesn't transmit anything.

I start recording when they walk past me and sit down.

Looks like Rwy 32L approach which would put the spiral stair CT where you see it.

NZE: great picture from the GoPro... does it have any operator inputs (zoom/exposure etc) or is it point 'n shoot?

We landed on runway 34R.

Pretty much just a point 'n shoot. More info of the GoPro here: http://gopro.com/

Is that 3 settings on the camera, then? or different lenses?

It has three settings and two buttons on the GoPro.
