Is Mission Space too intense to take a camera?

[civileng68]

Ok, please read this fully before responding with "off" answers.

I am not taking my video camera in (unless there's a place to put it during the ride) but I would like to take my small digital camera in with me during the ride to shoot the interior of the que areas and such. Once on the ride I want to put my camera back in the holder around my neck. Is Mission Space too intense to keep my camera from being damaged?

Your camera should have no problems with the ride. It's not THAT intense.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Yeah, you shouldn't have any problems taking a small camera. It's a very smooth ride.

No worries - but when you are strapped in, it can get a little cosy in there, so you best have a W---I----D-----E angle lens. :animwink:

I took my digital camera each time I rode it with no problems. I used cameras shoulder strap to help secured it.

As everyone else has said, it shouldn't be a problem at all. They also have storage bins in the capsule that you can keep things in.

I took my digital camera when I went in October. You can see in my photo album a couple pics of the queue area. Whatever wasn't good about the photos had everything to do with the photographer - there was no damage to the camera!

I think the real question is, can I eat a bowl full of yogert while in line for M:S? :hurl:

I am hearing from some people that it is intense and others that it is not. I am sure they have a place to put bags, like a net?

There is a something not unlike a large glove box in a car.

Hey, if you think you can take pictures in that low light, go right ahead. Be my guest.

Its not worth risking a camera on.

 

[bsandersjr]

Nope, not too intense. I brought my bag on the ride. Heck, I even brought my wife on it too! :lol:

bsandersjr - LOL!!

My Video Cameras done ToT, Space and Splash Mountains, BTM (yeah.. I know.. but the back row does whip somewhat), its been in the outdoor loop slipstream of Test Track and its done both Rock n Rollers... just MAKE SURE it is attatched. The worst thing that can happen is it strikes someone else. I always adjust the hand grip to be almost too tight (not possible with a stills camera) and wrap the shoulder strap around my hand, wrist AND forearm to ensure even if I lost grip it couldn`t go anyfurther than MY body!

The only way to get on ride shots of M:S, without using a flash, is to use a superclamp and mount the camera to the attraction itself in order to keep it steady.

Personally, i think its a total waste of time, considering the CM's would have a cow if they saw you mounting a camera.

The only concern you should have with bringing a camera on the ride is forgetting it in the storge bins. I left my bag in there and had to wait around 15 minutes before it could be found again.

I guess I was just a little to excited after having ridden it for the first time :lol:
