Agreed, I certainly wont film anyone without consent, nor release a video 
without a signed consent (seriously, I cant afford any hassle), so this is a 
given.

Again, agreed, and given the type of kit I'm using, panning and zooming is 
problematic too (in terms of the end result).  This is where a second camera 
(and a second angle) would be useful.

There seem to be a few people happy to do this.
