Tripods and large equipment require permission

## Detailed answer

The use of certain photography equipment, such as tripods, lighting rigs, and backdrops, may be restricted or require advance permission from the building management. This is to ensure that the equipment does not obstruct pedestrian traffic, damage the building's property, or disrupt the normal operation of the building. Photographers should check with the building management in advance to determine if any equipment restrictions apply to their specific shoot.
