Dave Krall CFII said:Yes that is the proper order.
I know what you're thinking but, I've found over the last decade during hundreds of hours of aerial photographics for the mountainflyingvideos.com website both with and without copilot assistance for flying &/or filming, it's often (not always) easiest, and safest, to just do it yourself as PIC, even with manual equipment.
The benefits primarily come from eliminating the communication link completely from the pilot's ANC priority sequence for purposes of co-ordinating the aviate and navigate elements of the photographic leg of the flight, thereby simplfying the mission tasks significantly in many instances.
