Cameras, Concerts, and Crowd Rules
Just came from a huge reunion concert of a popular band here called the Eraserheads. I couldn’t help but notice that amidst the sea of over 20,000 people were the glittering screens of mobile phones and point and shoot cameras taking video. Concert organizers do not allow the public to bring in DSLRs.
It is quite rare for a concert venue to allow these prosumers cameras in, thus making the public opt for less sophisticated forms of video capture like your phone, for instance. I think the market demands some forms of accessories like mini cellphone tripods (actually these do exist but aren’t very stable) or cellphones to come with standardized tripod holes.
Ah the phenomenon that is social media - it is the consumers themselves who are the ones who get to upload these videos and photos faster than traditional media. So why make them settle for the “uglier” cameras? Please, let them in with their DSLRs!
