The only place I have ever seen someone have their camera taken off them to be returned at the end / on leaving is the Zoo Project. I just use my phone as it means less things for me to lose and they cant take that off me.

Read the article, BigChief.
No-camera policies at Amnesia, Privilege and Zoo.

I know they have these policies but I have only ever seen it happen at the zoo. Too much hassle just in case, no way I could be arsed waiting around for a camera at the end! Bad enough waiting for the disco bus.

I have not had a problem using my camera in clubs. If you use caution it shouldn't be a problem

I've been frisked by security and specifically asked about a camera at Privilege.
As with any rule, enforcement can be piecemeal. But just because you didn't see it doesn't mean people aren't getting caught!

Talking from experience, last year I took my digital camcorder into FMIF - was recording as I walked in and the security didn't even flinch.

Mind you, last laugh was probably on them as they probably realised it'd be too congested to breath, let alone film!

Earlier on whilst it was quiet(ish!) I managed to get some good shots on the dancefloor, decor & will.i.am DJing - the security were far more concerned with clubbers climbing onto the decor for personal space!

If it is sticking out the top I think security will notice it

Wow! Another camera post!

anyway, don't take it in.. I got a severe warning once. They might feel your boobs when you're getting searched so they'll feel the camera, unless you have massive boobs that is.

There's no way I could hide anything in my top!

Don't most people have a camera on their phone these days?

They wouldnt be brave enough to look hard enough

Phone is definitly the best/easisest option

You're missing my point, I am not saying it doesnt happen. Merely stating that I have only seen it happen once, so might not be to strict a rule. I have seen and been with many folk who have taken in and openly used cameras in all the above mentioned clubs, just trying to give a example of life experience rather than an article stating the rules.

And you're missing my point.

The information in the article linked above is direct from the clubs. So those ARE the rules.

As with any rules, you can get around them, and sometimes they won't be enforced wholeheartedly. But people should be aware of them so that they're not surprised.


And so much for that article's intended purpose of saving us from the annual 10 - 15 cameras-in-club threads
