GoPro camera

[GoreHealer]

Hello everyone. I have red on the wacken website that "professional cameras" are not allowed...so what's about GoPro cameras...i don't think it is considered like a professional one. But do you know (for sure) that it is allowed or not?

Thank you very much

Camera = Not on the Festvial. I dont get why People want to film the Artists. Just enjoy the Moment.

"Fotografieren für den privaten Gebrauch mit Handys ist gestattet. Die Persönlichkeitsrechte Dritter sind dabei jederzeit zu wahren. Das Herstellen von Film- oder Tonaufnahmen jeglicher Art sowie deren Veröffentlichung online oder offline ohne Genehmigung des Veranstalters sind verboten." Translation: Taking Photos with your Handy = okay. Making a Video- oder Audiorecording = forbidden.

Handy is nicht immer handy.
Das erste ist das Gerät, dat 2. ist einfach.

M.a.W. Ein Handy heißt a mobile phone/cell phone.

Yes and mobile phone are allowed...mobile phone can take photo, video and audio...
I may understand large camera equipement that are forbidden...

However i can enjoy the moment if i take my gopro on my head...no need to look in the camera screen and lose parts of the show...just click "on" and look forward to the stage...

mobile phone can take [...] video and audio...

which is forbidden too - but not really enforceable

It is allowed to bring ordinary cameras/ digital cameras and mobile phones onto the festival ground. However, neither camcorders nor reflex/ SLR cameras and/or bridge/system cameras are to be brought to the camping grounds!
Please make sure that you don’t bother your neighbors and other people with your photo devices. - Festival ABC

But like the Festival ABC also said: No filming

Yeah you are satisfied but those behind you are fucked and lose sight to the stage.

This Handy filming is annoying as fuck too.

Hi pal. 2 past years I constantly took GoPro in infields and never been stopped. Just be careful with telescopic grip, security usually ban them. All good people I've met usually was happy to participate in filming of my drunk videos.

What the fuck are you saying? "Lose sight"???????? Have you ever seen a gopro camera??? Have you ever seen the dimensions????...there is a way to use it without disturbing other people. Sign in this forum is the worst thing i have ever done. You are such ignorant persons!

I just recall a message below the "Blind Guardian"-Concert from 2011 (??) on Youtube:
"What? it is 2011 and I see almost no smartphone in the audience?!?!"

There are some concerts that get streamed by Telekom I guess, some stuff will land on youtube (eventually...). Just keep it that way, let the professionals make the movies and enjoy the festival

And regarding ignorant: ever heard about copyright-laws?
