AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

you just mentioned the major thing that drives me up a wall... people taking video in portrait mode. Hell.... I can't even tolerate photos in portrait mode.

Last year I couldn't make a couple of grandson basketball games so a guy at the game streamed it on Youtube.... IN PORTRAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You couldn't see @#$#.

Ok, lastly, I have to be honest. I am no where near as calm cool and collected as you. I do well taking video due to experience BUT... I screw up at times. I get excited. In fact, one of the reasons I retired from being "The" videographer was so I wouldn't have to worry about that any more and I could just watch the game. I am, after all, Italian, and we are not known for staying cool and calm like you.... nor doing anything at all without a lot of body, hand, leg, head, motion.
