from the article.....is this a reg?
At the very least you could see what your company SOP's have to say about use and storage of electronic devices. If your company's SOP's prohibit you from using a camera below 10,000' and you violate that prohibition, then you will probably be subject to a violation by the FAA. Since a carrier's SOP has to be approved by the FAA, if you violate it then you are also violating an FAA approved document.
