Curious if anyone has found any videos/ pictures of the 787 wing (Trailing Edge) durring takeoff/landing, initial climb, and final?

Searched on youtube and found one of ANA- but it wasn't that great.

I'm curious as to the behavior of the control surfaces and especially the drooping spoilers.

Thanks

There is the HD start and landing video from first flight were you can see the spoiler and ailerons/flaperons going to lift dump after landing but to see the tiny movements of the flaps and spoilers were they droop a few degrees to vary the camber you need an in fuselage video. An what Pax knows he should film that part of the wing at those instances, BTW it would be so tiny it would be very hard to see even if someone filmed it IMO.

Trailing edge variable camber is small and slow, hence almost impossible to see. But the OP asked about spoiler droop, which is easy to see any time the flaperon moves or the flaps deploy.
