Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anybody knows if there are any rules/restrictions about camera gear at the above event?

If it's anything like last year, 200mm or 300mm is a max (I think it's 200mm) and yes they're looking out for TC's... just ask Kipper.

As in looking for TC's on your camera, in your bag, in your pocket ?
When do they check ? Can't you smuggle the TC in and mount it later away from the officials ?
(I have no idea, never attended, but I'm sure you can be a little discrete).

Alpha_7,
As soon as you mounted the TC on, someone will approach you and ask you to put it off.

Fair enough.
Are you allowed to shoot with a dust / water cover on the camera ?

The limit this year is 300mm max.
They busted Kipper's TC 1.7 on his 70-200VR last year.
Don't worry too much; they just asked him to remove it and all was well.
I had no issues using my 80-400VR all weekend.

I used my 1.7 and 70-200 all last years grand prix and was never approached to take it off

Guess I'll try my luck with the TC.... there aren't any weird restrictions on the number of lenses you can bring are there?
