Taking cameras to the footy

[Tang888]

Hi All,
I would like to watch a footy match in Sydney. Is it possible for me to bring a dslr camera with 70-200mm for non commercial purpose?

Thx heaps

Only if you promise to watch it on a 4 inch screen.

Just fill out the AFLBS Form 23A1 on arrival, pay the royalty tax and make sure you have your pink copy handy in case the photography police pull you up




.....seriously, you can take as many photos as you like. This is one thing the AFL hasn’t stamped out yet

I once brought in a 300mm 2.8 to an Adelaide United game, and only just got let in. your 70-200 will be fine. In the NBA they have super strict measurements and focal lengths. There's technically nothing stopping you bringing in a 200mm f1.8 into a game haha.

There’s a bloke on the North Board who is a professional photographer, Blackshadow.

It might be worth picking his brain for details about what is allowed as an amateur vs professional.
