Use of tripods?
In general, because tripods are defined as "hand-held devices", permits would not be
needed. However, a permit will be needed by someone using a tripod if (1) the person
filming asserts exclusive use of one or more lanes of a street or walkway of a bridge, or
(2) the filming activity results in less than eight feet of unobstructed sidewalk use as a
result of the tripod user's assertion of exclusive control over the portion of the sidewalk
they occupy.
As to parades, rallies, protests or demonstrations, no permits are required when
one uses a tripod.
(2) How does someone apply for a permit? What must they show? When could
a permit be denied? What happens if the permit application is denied?
One completes an MOFTB new project account application to get a scouting, rigging or
shooting permit. One must include identifying information, such as their mailing
address, a photo ID, dates and times of shooting – and, if available, e-mail address and
telephone number. Film school students will have to provide a letter from their schools
confirming insurance coverage and current enrollment.
El Rockefeller no tiene rejas sino unas grandes cristaleras, y en el hueco entre ellas tambien se puede meter el objetivo y apretar la cámara contra el cristal para darle estabilidad.
