The low constant vibrations of an Airplane can vibrate the screws out of a
camera
probably faster than the coarser movements of a bicycle however constant
bouncing
around can throw a mechanical camera's shutter speeds off. The electronics
might be
effected by having friction connections, (any plug that doesn't have some
kind of positive
lock), vibrate free. Any connecting wires will be flexing and subject to
metal fatigue
and therefore breakage. This usually happens at a solder joint.
