Photography at Universal

[whoiscliffwang]

Hey everyone, So my DW convinced me to take a trip to Universal Orlando since she is a HUGE Harry Potter fan. Just booked a trip tonight.

I was looking around on Universal's website for Photography policies. I'd really hate to bring my DSLR just to find out I can't use it in the parks. This is a first trip to Universal for me so if any of you can offer me any insight, please feel free to chime in. Tripods ok? Big Lens (70-200 f/2.8) ok?

Worse case scenario, I just bring my mirrorless, but I'd prefer to have my D800.

Thanks in advance

Tripods and DSLRs are allowed. But be aware you'll need to fit your equipment in a locker while riding most attractions

Are locker rentals by the day or is it per use?

Nevermind. I found it on their website.

All day lockers are available inside the Main Entrance of each of our theme parks for a rental fee of $8.00 per day, with family size lockers available at Universal Studios Florida for $10.00 per day. Guests have unlimited access to these lockers during the course of the day.

In addition, loose articles are not permitted on select attractions. The following attractions have free lockers available during a visit to the attraction to store all loose articles:

• The Incredible Hulk Coaster®
• Dragon Challenge™
• Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™
• Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit®
• Revenge of the Mummy®
• MEN IN BLACK™ Alien Attack™

Additional lockers are available at select attractions inside Universal Studios and Universal's Islands of Adventure® for $4.00 for the first 90 minutes; $3 for each additional hour; with a $20.00 per day maximum. These lockers are available at the entrance of the following attractions:

• Jurassic Park River Adventure®
• Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls®
