Tripod use at RAF museum cosford

Kev35

Thankyou for the clarification, I miss understood that Cosford being part of the RAF network then the rules might be the same for them as is at Hendon.

On the several occasions I have been to Cosford I have never use a tripod but several other places have given me responses exactly as you describe, it’s funny though if you were to just walk into a museum with a tripod without asking, then there is alway one who will challenge you like you are an excaped convict, and yet if you do ask for one then you get the obligatory grunt and puzzled look!!.

Firstly, I don’t know any tall Poles, and secondly, I think efiste was referring to photography inside the National Cold War Mausoleum. I agree with you that opportunities are good if not excellent within the other hangars.

I’ve never been offered a tripod pass at Cosford and to be honest on the two occasions I asked about one I got the reply ‘you’re not at Hendon now you know’ and on the second occasion I received a blank stare, a raised eyebrow and a muffled response which could only be interpreted as ‘eh?’

Just make sure when you enter the museum go to the reception and pick up a tripod pass, totally free and no hassle, just an H&S requirement I believe.

Camera on a pole is the way to go:D

I tried a year ago, and gave up all to packed in,:mad: but got some nice shots of the building.:)
good luck.

thanks for the info mate, i know what you mean, the aircraft ars so packed in, it makes some types of pics really impossoble, especially the v force 🙁

It’s not normally a problem at all. Though whether you can get any ‘nice’ photo’s in that Mausoleum is the real question.
