Echoes of the Mind: Part 1 - S5-E1

(00:37:40)
Mac's Back - S5-E3
Visible crew/equipment: At the start, when Magnum is remembering what had happened Higgins calls his name, then just as Magnum puts on his sunglasses and lifts his head, the reflection of the camera and its operator, wearing a dark short sleeved shirt, is visible in his left lens. (00:03:20)
Mac's Back - S5-E3
Visible crew/equipment: After Greene lets Magnum off without charges it cuts to Magnum in the Ferrari, and when he decides to find someone who knew "Mac" there's an overhead long shot as the car pulls to the side of the road (to make a U-turn), and in this long shot the second camera with crew members are visible at the left side of the screen. The next shot is the footage of the Ferrari making the sharp U-turn, that had been filmed by that second camera. Additionally, in the previous closeups facing Magnum during the short drive, the reflections on the lenses of his sunglasses are not normal, due to the dark screen where the camera is located.

Visible crew/equipment: While Higgins admonishes Magnum during the failed attempt at the recreation of the battle, just as Higgins tells Magnum it's not a rhetorical question and adds, "If I am to prove my theory that General Lejeune..." in two shots a crew member and filming equipment are visible at the right side of the screen.
