Its not the type of thing I would do but it can be easy done.
Just buy a "Dash Cam" and set it up in location and have it connected to a 12v Battery. As these types of camera keep recording and when the memory card is full, it just keeps looping and rewriting over what has been recorded. I have one, the battery is US in it, but it works connected to a 12v Battery. I plan one day to set it up and use it as a CCTV in the house as a wild life cam near the bird feeders and bath etc
Alternatively use an "Action Cam" or a "Wildlife Cam", which should do the same if run off a power pack.
Also look at your phone and see if there are any apps for it. I have one that is in a package of other tools, never used it though so not sure if it works well, but it functions as a CCTV and records when it detects movement.

Or even Tazi's dramas with builders lol
Back to the filming....a reason not to....and I can't be the only one
You been away for a weeks fishing, you've done quite well, you hear ruddy bite alarms everywhere for the next couple of weeks Would I want to be permanently in that state by reminding myself with a film of a run.
Reminds me of what a great idea (not) it was setting a run as my ring tone many years back...

>>>>>Reminds me of what a great idea (not) it was setting a run as my ring tone many years back...<<<<<<
Same here, I thought what a great idea it would be and so I knew it would be a fishing related friend calling me, I set the ring tone of my ATTX going off for my fishing contacts group. It was a nightmare, even when I could see the receiver was not showing any lit LED's I would be confused as to what was happening and last thing on my mind was it was my phone and someone calling me especially around dusk and dawn when friends on lake would give you a call to see if anything had happened etc.
Lost count of the times I would fly out of the bivvy to hit a run.

I couldn't remember how to change a setting on the Delkim remote the other night, so went onto the website to download the instructions. Confused as **** when i had a take with no led's etc - thought the alarm and remote had packed up in the wet 🤣

Happened to me as well.
Was a great idea when you weren't on the bank.
But after the first time my phone rang when I was fishing and I couldn't find the rod that was screaming I comeback to the usual tone.

I don't defend it as it's not me doing It and I don't care what anyone else does during their fishing trip.
I feel like you're just digging yourself in a hole trying to justify your first comments.
I'm sure big companies and named anglers don't care, that's exactly my point. They should. I for one absolutely love this sport, and care about the future of it.
I personally do everything I can to negate risk. This practice is a completely avoidable risk.

You have to bear in mind that when you watch a fishing film etc, that what you see, maybe not what it seems or how it happened.
How easy is it to set up a camera focused on the rod and reel and then fake the run, then later on when someone catches a fish and it gets filmed, edit the two clips to make them the same event. Even dashing out of the bivvy to hit a run can be filmed and edited in.
I always find it strange that on the odd occasion I watch a fishing film etc, they always catch the "target fish" in the last 10 minutes of the program. Basically I think they catch it at some point in the filming, maybe the first session but then edit in all the other fish that may have been caught before and even afterwards if the target fish was caught too early. It all adds to the drama and suspense.

Yes I agree that goes on. But what I'm referring to is the amateur type footage posted on social media and shared by big companies. Check out any of delkims social media for examples.

That's how it happens. Been on a syndicate with one of the industry big players who did a film. And the order on the film of captures wasn't how he had them.

I also don't get the thing with having the reels right next to the alarms, and unless using a really slack clutch (for better take videos!), the rods being pulled off the rest. Or the alarm banging into the buzzer. Apart from when using a pod, when they aren't long enough, why don't people have the butt ring “reel” side of the buzzer? You get better indication with danglers too. I remember a Korda one where tips were being dipped deep and literally every take had the rod being dragged off the buzzer. Great to tho I guess.
You also have to laugh when people describe every fish they catch as stunning, immaculate, banger, etc - especially the ones missing scales with blotches on and manky fins 😂
Fishing for the ‘gram 🙄

I can get my head around light indicators tight up to the alarm.
Fairbrass is terrible for it. Always demonstrates how it gives great indication, as he pulls the the line and either beeps because he pulled line off the spool, or the indicator bounces down. They might as well not use Indictators.

Think it depends, I don't think it's great if it's taking ages to get your phone and it's now half way across the lake or obviously snaggy. I record my fishing for myself and put the occasional one on YouTube. I have all my camera set up, so if i actually get a take it's a matter of turning it on then push record. I wouldn't spend 5 mins faffing about trying to get it all set up as it's ripping line off the spool. Horses for courses like said
