Yup. Likely illegal to video. As phones are not intrinsically safe. Can cause fires. Right near the well bore. This should actually be written up. However the rig manager, or company rep is likely taking the video.

I worked on 4 different Patterson rigs and I learned a very valuable lesson, you're as good of a hand as those who train you. It wasn't until I went to a different rig that I realized those who broke me out were completely incompetent.
