I was wondering if it would be ok to use my recording funtion on my camera to record take off.
I know flightlevel350.com has all kinds of video's of takeoff's and landings but what is the policy with the airlines?
thanks.

I have often and it has never been addressed as not acceptable. However the letter of the law may differ:
Title 14: Aeronautics and Space
PART 91—GENERAL OPERATING AND FLIGHT RULES
Subpart A—General
Browse Previous | Browse Next
§ 91.21 Portable electronic devices.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate, nor may any operator or pilot in command of an aircraft allow the operation of, any portable electronic device on any of the following U.S.-registered civil aircraft:
(1) Aircraft operated by a holder of an air carrier operating certificate or an operating certificate; or
(2) Any other aircraft while it is operated under IFR.
(b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to—
(1) Portable voice recorders;
(2) Hearing aids;
(3) Heart pacemakers;
(4) Electric shavers; or
(5) Any other portable electronic device that the operator of the aircraft has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used.
(c) In the case of an aircraft operated by a holder of an air carrier operating certificate or an operating certificate, the determination required by paragraph (b)(5) of this section shall be made by that operator of the aircraft on which the particular device is to be used. In the case of other aircraft, the determination may be made by the pilot in command or other operator of the aircraft.

You will be required to turn of all electronic devices during takeoff and landing. There is a risk of them interfering with the aircraft navigational and control systems.
If people are using electronic devices, they are increasing the risks for all passengers, however slightly that might be,
Note that this has nothing to do with 9/11 - it has been in place for much, much longer than that. Despite what an earlier answer states, it is about potential interference with aircraft navigation and control systems during the critical flight phases (takeoff and landing).

No.. this is another one of the 9/11 side effects.. The FCC does not allow the use of video recording devices on an airplane while in flight

The legal question aside you didn't say where you flying from/to or what country the carrier operates out of. Our friends from the US are always giveing us the FAA's opinion different countries different rules.
It shouldn't bother anything except the passanger next to you. The cabin crew most likely won't notice it if you keep it low and pointed out the window.

They request that you turn off all electronic devices on take off and landing. There is no problem with the electronics interfering with the plane. but... they want you to be alert during these times of maximum danger. No big deal. Just more BS
