Infoseite // Turning in America - problems with equipment?



Frage von TheDrummer:


Hi, folks!

Für'n I need to shoot in the States.
Will there be any problems arise because (because ,...) Steadicam & tripod in a suitcase / camera in hand luggage?
So who has experience?
We are synonymous in public places to turn (eg sightseeing) - will there be problems? (will not have time to obtain permission to film)

Please only qualified responses, and only people who were filming schonmal "over there" - THANK YOU!

Antwort von wolfgang:

Test your views on entry prepared for the fact that they take a closer look at the equipment. My FX1 (Handgepack) was wiped off at the entry into Washington with filter paper, the paper examines the range and s.Scanner placed on Spengstroff .... the camera is always highly suspicious, because there basically all the parts are inside, you would need synonymous for a bomb, has explained to me one of the local authority.

So more time for entry schedule, not just take it lying connecting flights (2 hours in Washington have not served a few weeks ago, I missed the connecting flight).

I then shot with the FX1 and Tripod - and thus never really had problems. However, I've stopped synonymous rather little in the big cities, but most of the time in national parks. There gabs no problems, synonymous if the FX1 and Tripod are indeed striking. Shooting in the amusement park ala Disneyland and Seaworld synonymous was not a problem there (I have not used the tripod, but a monopod).

But in principle, of course you actually need permission to shoot anywhere, and it can of course run into problems. All the more professional the matter is, the more likely this should be (for an amateur with no tripod has hardly anything, because the product rather Mistig and so that commercial is hardly usable - halt think the folks ....).

Hello Drummer!

You can assume that you very quickly in big cities you somebody's official s.Shooting with Tripod prevent.
In my own experience that it is filmed in NY, Washington and San Francisco with one almost impossible to Tripod. Good went to New Orleans and Las Vegas. Unfortunately, my experience is already six years old and thus synonymous before 9 / 11

Antwort von Maik:

For the entry absolutely a carnet for the inch for the equipment:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnet

s.jedem airport ... and the same: camera case, serial numbers
show equipment list to check, go through to sign ... etc.

These are usually 30 minutes +, which are still schedule before departure.
For a domestic flight make the sometimes synonymous (to us what has happened),
which is then the direct connecting flight already a bit tight.
For our shoot, we have obtained weeks in advance of filming permits,
synonymous, but the topic was a bit tricky and we were with BetaSP
underway.
Shooting with the public, the Yanks have it not: I am already at
taking photographs in Berkley happened that a passer-by who Camera
harassed again felt worst cursing behind me and the film herschrie
wanted from the Camera ... as was required to enforce firm.
So either: highly official (with permission), or completely confident and
Then open (synonymous to educate in quick words) why and for what, etc..
Coyly with the camera from the hip or in secret is not that great and may
cause very strong reactions.
After 9 / 11's will probably be a bit different.

Have fun over there

Antwort von Marco:

"Good it was in New Orleans and Las Vegas."

For me, with tripod in Vegas almost impossible. And any official saw me, there's the question of the filming permit / work permit and then a warning. After half a day I had the tripod then packed up again and not brought out again.

Sowas is synonymous already happened to me in Vienna, where the equipment looked more professional. For example, was once a passerby across entzürnt, as I have filmed on the open road with a JVC HD101. Or a granny and a grandfather, the extra stand with the car are still there, and have been (worried asked) whether they had done something wrong, because they have been filmed. This can be a linearly with professinalleren equipment is now probably happen anywhere. But as far as I know - please correct if it is different - has to sowas an individual is not entitled, while in a crowd was filmed. And the FX1 will of the majority Armateurs already perceived as "professional" - as synonymous of park rangers in national parks (there are indeed synonymous authority, but never what they had) to the shoot with tripod.

The situation is different with most of filming permits, which are almost always and everywhere (need theory) - and with representatives of the authorities may then well be quickly sensitive.

I've made so it's just that I have a little attention to the reaction of the environment. That I have taken in amusement parks stop consciously held one tripod monopod, or if necessary even had omitted.

But as I said, these are stop my (limited) experience.

Fortunately, yes.
If you put the camera through the re-to D then again have to pay duty,
can quickly mean a few baptized euros (+ punishment and procedures).
A colleague then had probably last year's Hamburg Inch bad luck because the camera had

The money came true a few months later back (proof that the camera

So perhaps there are the Austrians - I am in Vienna - less strict. In any case, I was asked what he sowas in the past never, but it would have been. Therefore, always have safe copies of invoices with the luggage, no preference, obs was now the SLR camera or camcorder. In the event that a zealous tax collectors is precisely this question. Just as in any case, I carry copies of important travel documents - and there could be times an original will be destroyed.

Nee note on purchasing of HDV equipment: in the more tourist-oriented electronics stores - such as in San Francisco at Fischer Warf buy there, Thats has no HDV camcorder. The greatest thrill was there, the VX2100, or small consumer devices. accessories for the FX1 they want to sell me, yes, some Screw-on wide angle lenses, but at least with me while they had no luck. But otherwise have the local dealer the FX1 have admired rather almost reverently, were in the range sowas definitely not yet.

In general, I had the impression that synonymous current commercial buildings - such as the otherwise very large Wal-Mart - with such equipment were fitted extremely lousy. If we as IR-minute tapes needed, you have to really go looking for - and will not guarantee that its brand. One should look for safety belts equipped with enough of their own choice, otherwise it comes with some security problems. Also in National Stores was a rule, although some photo equipment to get (Batteries, Batteries, small appliances), but no mini-DV tapes.

Antwort von WeiZen:

It has therefore not changed anything. DV tapes are in short supply since the beginning in the malls in U.S.. Applies synonymous for Canada. That does not mean there are none. We must try, however, and if they are expensive. Had last year really made time before the beginning of my journey to work and used up the chains in the various malls in Canada, so not as much as in U.S.. Conclusion nil, as far as HDV. But last year it was still a little early. :)

No, not for the vests,

Cameras clear.
So either this whole institution abolish inches or just keep s.The rules.
The rules say who enters a country and has thereby declaring goods

No announcements have gone through so inches is a criminal offense
(Customs fraud).
On the other hand synonymous Dienstaufsichtsbeschwerde not help, because the official act

The burden of proof here lies with the person entering as long as this is not credible
demonstrate that the equipment was purchased in the D and was merely to travel,
civil servants must act according to his specifications.
Whether dealing with such cases, 1 hour or 4 hours required
also, there are no rules, ergo synonymous with a few possibilities

A Dienstaufsichtsbeschwerde,
such a word at all, which there is only so anyway here (in D and some other

So, ATA Carnet and we have no problems.

You have not yet written, or have skipped ichs, with which camera (size) you will be traveling.

If it ne (H) is DV, and thus it goes through or as tourist-ambitious filmmaker, it is certainly worth considering ne, save yourself the effort of carnets.

If it really takes professional equipment is no getting s.Carnet.

And then you should be synonymous not only have this, but using synonymous - otherwise the nagging around and exit, the entry is not recorded. No idea how the Yanks are there on it, but in Eastern Europe, the partly synonymous controlled very fussy, so with serial number matching synonymous with accessories.

Antwort von r.p.television:

So I was 2 years ago - that is, after 9 / 11 privately in NY and Las Vegas.
Since I have no personal video camera, I took my little backup Sony PD-150 (VX2000).

When we at the entry into New York on the Queensborough Bridge and drove I kept the camera out the window, pulled the taxi driver my arm down.
He said, "Do not do that!". He thought that if I were filming bridges and public places, it may well happen that I would be arrested and my equipment is confiscated. Precisely because of 9 / 11.
Although I had no problems, and in the Empire State Building to film the State of Liberty and the like, but only in the background with the knowledge that they would then synonymous imprison the remaining 100 people who had a camera at the ready.
Bridges and entrances of buildings are taboo.

Las Vegas was then no problem. Even in some casinos (such as Caesar's Palace) was the Rotate no problem. After I was kindly pointed out in the MGM that I may shoot only when durchschwenken fast (so that no single-game actions are detailed profile), I then asked again, and often it was no longer a problem.
Otherwise, a bit cheeky. Draufhalten and gone.

Antwort von Lennart2:

Hi Leutz
synonymous've spent a while in NY and me synonymous thought about filming there. The fact is, of course, that the Americans, especially in New York for terror suspects do not think everything they know something. What I'm saying is this: If you mean film, with Tripod, Steadycam synonymous or what ever - the first sign simply the nearest police station. Stand in front, (can put your business card to one previously synonymous just do) on the stands that you are a director or cameraman (woman) from Germany and is good. The Americans are already suspicious sometimes, but often they have to synonymous base. Actually, the normal, reasonable people. When you first notice is what you do and who you are - the situation is quite different when one is in Shooting at 42.straße of crude in New York addressed a cop what you're doing.

So much for my experiences.

Moin,
at the moment it is so that when U.S. flights only liquids in hand luggage are not allowed. So it is with Lufthansa on the sides.
The scheme applies to any cabin or covered only flights from England.
It is synonymous in the future is certainly advisable to book direct flights only, not via London / Paris and / or through a U.S. hub, such as Delta Airlines makes it. Flights of FRA always go to LA with Delta about Cincinnati or Atlanta. That was before the 9 / 11 had a risk, now it would be foolhardy, the connection is gone, or stop flying takes even longer - 4 hours are advised. The same applies to flights over London. There it can be synonymous, that you arrive at Gatwick and has to go with the bus to Heathrow. Alone, this means having Weekdays 1.5 - 3 hours plus Check In!
This affects synonymous flights that do not have as ultimate goal, the USA, eg New Zealand flights, but have a stop in the U.S.. As soon as one lands there, it goes through the immigration control, synonymous if the same machine then weiterfliegt!
So no longer looking for the cheapest flight.

Antwort von Lothar 1:

I sthe right now facing the same problem as I s.Sonntag fly to Anchorage. Basically, I pack as usual, stable device in their pockets or suitcase and the camera's in hand luggage. Nowhere have I read that there are any restrictions. Although the control will be fierce, but till now my XL2 always passed without objection. For additional film equipment I have bought a Peli-case, which is very stable and meets the military standard. Is not cheap though, so the Euro 320, - but he has the advantage that it can be screened. This is not the case in aluminum boxes. They are activated by the inch and there is no right to compensation. The case is secured with small padlock combination locks that can be opened using a universal key that has been deposited with U.S. inch.
The locks cost around Euro 10, - and are available at Lufthansa and Kaufhof.
Insurance is to say that the household where the world retribution until approximately a loss of Euro 10.000, - arises.

I travel regularly for years both professionally and privately, the U.S. synonymous. So far I have never been there, synonymous only the hint of a problem with equipment (2 to 3 cameras, camcorders, laptop) or during the shoot, synonymous to the 9.11. not. Neither during the shoot / photographing at fairs, amusement parks, main streets, public buildings, parks, stadiums or what-I-know me during the shoot anyone ever synonymous only looked lopsided. Not more than smiling or waving.
Even my family that lives there and has some busy photographed and film end members, has never been mentioned problems.
The private equipment is usually on the home insurance policy and often synonymous insured through their own credit card against loss, damage and theft. The commercial equipment can be easily assured in almost every insurance company. Anyone who has seen commercial drags stuff or crates and boxes with lots of equipment gives the impression, and when passing through customs no carnet or no import documents this can of course get as s.jeder customs frontier problems. The required documents renders a any international freight forwarding for about 50 ¬.
The import of 5 electronic devices in hand baggage for a trade show in the U.S. in January, took about 10 minutes.

So folks, do not let yourselves be nervous! From filming to America and what keeps the stuff :-)
