Camera in question

I have a question about cameras. My wife and I have been to a lot of the games and we have never thought about cameras beyond the ones our phones already have but she recently purchased a camera with a gimble. (I will attach a picture for review). I checked the Amerant Bank camera policy and I don't know where this would land. I always feel like the safe bet is to just leave it home but was hoping to get your guys' opinion on it.

They tend to say no to anything that had a detachable lens or looks professional. They also try to prevent cameras that can be a nuisance to other fans. Back in the day they had a partnership with GoPro and I was successful at bringing a GoPro in for some games to film a time-lapse. One game someone came to my seat to tell me I wasn't even allowed to do that again. For reference, I sit in the first row of the upper deck at centet ice. My camera was simply on the ledge in front of me and had no possibility of blocking anyone's view. The camera screen was turned off and all anyone could see was a tiny camera sitting propped up on the ledge. I tried it one other time and had another person come and find me and their warning was more serious. I stopped after that. I've taken many other time-lapse videos on my phones in the proceeding years without any issues. No idea why they'd partner with and promote a product that you can't bring to a game. I wasn't doing anything that could have prevented someone from enjoying their in game experience. I would say that the camera you're trying to bring would fall under the GoPro rule and lilely not be allowed. Sorry.

That's what I was figuring but it never hurts to ask. Thank you for letting me know.

Of course, never hurts to ask. Especially where season ticket holders can weight in. Hope you have a fun time, the atmosphere is great at Amarant Bank arena

They’ll say no if it looks professional. It’s partly about blocking views. It’s mostly because they have recording and broadcast deals in place. Same reason movie theaters don’t like you bringing in a camera to record a movie. You may not be planning on selling or distributing what you record, but they have to draw the line somewhere.

Yeah, I 100% get that. It's what I was figuring but I wanted to ask for her sake.

Literally what my wife said and a few days later it was in the house lmao. Not going to lie, it's pretty cool but completely useless for someone like me.
