Tripod + Professional Gear
Tripod most museums BANNED — security concern + crowd। Selfie stick same restriction many sites। Professional camera (DSLR/Mirrorless) gear allowed but tripod রেখে যেতে হয়। Photo lockers museum entry available। GoPro/action camera generally allowed। Drone separately permission required।
Bhutan inside temple photo strict prohibition — caught penalty SDF revoke। Mosque/Masjid photo during prayer time disrespectful। Military area + government building most country banned। Local people photo permission ask (Egypt aggressive demands tip after photo)। Religious site dress code + photo both observe।
Smartphone photo most heritage sufficient। DSLR + 24-70mm lens versatile travel। GoPro/action camera less restricted। Photo permit ticket counter ask politely। Free professional photographer (Cappadocia balloon, Egypt pyramid) tour operator complimentary।
