GoPro etiquette

[sc9500]

Im not sure this the correct forum to post this question in (admins feel free to move if not) Can somebody tell me what the current policies are for using a GoPro at the parks? I know selfie sticks are banned but before bringing a GoPro for the first time Id like to know the boundaries are. Thank you -

Hi there, im following this thread as i would like to know too. I have a small 2-3 inch hand stick for my gopro which i wouldnt count as a selfie stick at all but is used purely so i can hold my go pro easier and wanted to know if this is considered ok? Also, anyone know if they are ok to take on as hand luggage on the plane?

According to the Disney web site any hand held extension poles for cameras or mobile devices are not allowed. So I would say as long as your hand covers the whole of the stick you are fine. But there is no way to know ahead of time what security at bag check will say.

Moving this to the Theme Parks board.

Those and other small cameras can be used in all parks, public areas, and on many attractions.

On the few attractions where cameras are prohibited, that info will be announced on signs and spoken announcements at the attractions, themselves.

The hand held grips are allowed. There is no test to see if your hand covers it, but they will ask if it extends every time. As for etiquette turn off the beep and glowing screen.

Grips are fine. Even specifically mentioned as fine in the rules.
As long as they don't extend.
Since they are fine and they do nothing more than delay getting through bag check we just put ours in DH's pocket, along with the GoPro attached.
But if you take in through bag check they will examine it to make sure it doesn't extend and usually ask you does it extend. Some guards are still unsure so they call over a supervisor. All that is why we just avoid it all and pocket the thing.
