Definition
机位 has two distinct meanings that depend on context. In photography and filmmaking, it refers to the position of the camera (where it's placed to shoot). In aviation, it refers to a seat on a plane — specifically the assigned seat location. The two senses are not interchangeable, so pay attention to the surrounding words (e.g., 相机机位 vs 飞机机位).
