Camera Policy - SLR Camera's - MAverick - 09-11-2007

Because I made a typo in the Fredericton show thread, I feel obligated to create a new, general thread about the camera policy.

I do apologise.

The camera policy for the Hip has always been, that no SLR type camera's are permitted.

For those that do not know, SLR stands for Single Reflex Lens. This is the type of camera that has a detachable lens and is in the style of an "old school" camera.

You can bring a small, digital or instant camera however. And of course, nobody will take your cell phone away either.

U sure? - HIPLVR - 09-11-2007

You sure about this? The tickets say right on them no cameras and I was at the box office for its opening today and they have printouts on the windows saying no cameras. I don't want to take my digital and then get stuck with it if they want to take it away Wink

MAv is the Hip's webmaster. I'd say he's sure about this.

He's talking about the band's policy. Venues usually have their own policy.

Ya, I understand their policy and they don't mind - but I'm worried about venue rules.
No biggie - I'll keep the camera in the hotel room and hope for pictures on the next couple shows.

Thanks.

Here is the rule of thumb, when attending Hip shows. . .

If you want to bring a video camera, recording gear or a "small" camera, do not be afraid.

Rule #1 & 2
Go early, in case you run into issues with security.
Be polite

If you run into issues, ask to them to speak to the head of security and wait patiently.

At no time should you get angry or show an attitude. If you do, all is fair and nobody will really help you, or care.

Be polite and be early are my two rules of thumb. Many people on this board will vouch for these two rules. On more than one occasion, I have escorted people in with their gear. On more than one occasion have people had to wait while the issues have been sorted out. The ones who do this regularly are always early and are always polite.

Enjoy the show tonight.

+1 on the Polite and Early rules! :thumb:

Thanks! - HIPLVR - 09-11-2007

Thanks fellas.
Out of 30 shows I have never bothered to bring a camera or recording device. We'll give er a go tonight.

Enjoy the show all.

- HIPLVR - 09-11-2007

The Fox (local radio) just mentioned the signs are off the windows and cameras are allowed. Enjoy all.

Ah, that's a shame. Sad I thought we'd be good to go with the SLR's. Ah well - Thanks for the heads up, MAv.

If anyone at EuroHip has a spare video camera, I'll gladly hold it now I seem to have my hands free. Wink

Maybe you can be the official beer runner now that your hands will be free?

I'll see what I can do. I don't want to spend all my time at the bar though - I've gotta make the most of these gigs! Wink

this thread reminded me that in yesterday's "journal pioneer" there was a nice/short interview w/ johnny where he more/less gave a shout out to the tapers saying they were the real fans looking for an alternate version of the records...

the newspaper website doesnt have any archive really, if the print edition is still at work when i go in this evening ill grab & scan it
