USING A TRIPOD IN NYC

As the rules relax, you'll find more flexibility using tripods across New York City, however, photographers need to balance practicality with following the rules. While tripods are generally permitted in public spaces like parks and sidewalks, photographers must ensure they do not obstruct pedestrian traffic or pose safety hazards. However, restrictions may apply in specific locations such as museums, landmarks, or private property. Make sure to review the specific rules and regulations of the area you intend to photograph in advance.

In the NYC subway, you usually cannot use a tripod or big camera gear without approval from the MTA. This rule is to keep passengers safe and trains running smoothly. If you need to take photos in the subway, it's best to ask the MTA for permission first. 

It is crucial for photographers to be aware of the tripod regulations in New York City and adhere to compliance to avoid any potential issues.

As always, best of luck!
