I see you're not into watching streamers. It's simple physics as well. Vertical support versus a horizontal one

Human eyes are side-by-side, not one above the other. This means our field of vision is much much wider than high. This has nothing to do with streamers.

We were talking about hand and arm mechanics. Not the visual aspects of recording. With the visual, I totally agree. But usually amteurs in a stressful situation will film vertically. It is easier to manipulate the device that way. Think also about panning from left to right. The wrist action when recording vertically and then horizontally. Try it, you'll see what I mean

I understand that NOT THINKING (like in a stressful situation) is the reason for this. That's what I'm saying.

Again, no, he IS thinking properly because he is in a situation where his phone could be snatched and where he needs more control over the device,

No, he is NOT. If he were, he would make sure he can hold it properly AND can't lose it unless he loses the arm along with it. He could hold it much closer to his body by holding it in landscape, and therefore more difficult to grab, than holding it in retard-portrait.

Just based on how passionately you profess your opinion, I feel like I should grant you a point here lol. The dude is retarded a little bit, but the good kind of retarded.
