MSG Camera Policy
Options
Hello Everyone:
Here is the MSG Camera Policy:
Cameras
Video cameras, monopods, tripods, selfie sticks, audio recording devices and cameras with professional telephoto or zoom lenses are NOT permitted inside Madison Square Garden at any time. This policy will be strictly enforced. You may bring in non professional or disposable cameras. However, for some events, cameras of any type and/or flash photography may be completely prohibited. Any photos taken are for personal use only and may not be sold, licensed or distributed.
Here is the camera that I am purchasing: Nikon 3300D.
Although I don't think this is considered a 'professional camera', I am probably not going get through the door, right?
I never had an SLR before so I have never tried to take one to a show.
Thanks,
Dan

Probably not. Most venues don't allow cameras with removable lens without a photo pass.0

I went to a Knicks game recently and brought my dslr in with a couple small lenses, OK'd by security. "Professional telephoto lens" usually refers to those monster lenses you see on NFL sidelines. But concerts are another story, and usually no slrs of any kind are allowed.
MSG security used to be really lax, in my opinion, and I still think they go easier than some other venues. But since some dude stabbed another guy at a Celtics game last year all NBA arenas installed airport-style metal detectors, and you pretty much have to empty pockets/open bags. I would not attempt it myself, not without a car/hotel room nearby, but I would not be surprised at all if somebody still managed to sneak a dslr into a concert at MSG.0 -
That should be okay. Professional often means detachable and able to be extended one foot.0

Yeah I don't think you will get that piece of hardware into the show.danimal59 said:Here is the camera that I am purchasing: Nikon 3300D.
Would love to bring in one of these to the shows this Fall. A mini 4.6K cinema camera. *drools

I like watching all the YouTube videos just like everyone else but I don't see how you can enjoy the concert if you're spending your time worried about taking pictures/videos. I'll usually take a picture or two with my phone and maybe a quick video if something rare/crazy is happening but that is it. Plus I wouldn't wan to have to lug that around all day and risk it getting taken by security or broke.Columbus-2000

I know that people bring in the fz1000 into shows all the time. That is about the same as the 3300 above.demetrios said:

I think you could get away with it at a club show, but I'm not sure about arenas. I would check before trying to bring it in, unless you will have a car or hotel room close by that you can just run back to to stash it.0

Typically it's okay to have cameras with lenses that don't extend a foot. Look at all of MFSYNC72 footage on yt or our btn shows. That's a fz1000 that he's using.0

My point is if there's doubt, no sense in debating it here, just check with the venue. In any case, this is 10c's camera policy:mrussel1 said:Typically it's okay to have cameras with lenses that don't extend a foot. Look at all of MFSYNC72 footage on yt or our btn shows.
