😳 6 months in prison for filming in the national parks?

In this video we discusses a recent rule change that affects the use of cameras and filming equipment in US National Parks and other federally-owned lands. The change states that any video activity on these lands is now deemed commercial unless it is for personal use. This means that creators on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram can now face fines and possible jail time for filming and uploading footage without a permit. If you're a content creator or just someone who loves exploring and sharing the beauty of national parks and federal lands, we need your help! 🚨Send a letter to congress about this national park law using our letter template: https://www.chrisandsara.com/post/filming-in-national-parks-send-a-letter-to-your-legislator ⏰Timestamps ⏰ 0:00 Intro 1:22 Context of national park rules for commercial filmmaking 4:02 Can you film on BLM and National Forrest? 5:30 Why you can't upload your video to Youtube, Instagram, or Tiktok 6:45 How to file a commercial filmmaking permit 11:20 Videography vs photography 12:27 Can you go to the park and not film? 13:29 Be a part of changing the law with us 🔎 Shop Our Favorites 🔎 📷 Photo & Video Gear 📷 ⊹ Vlogging camera: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1577838-REG/sony_ilce7sm3_b_alpha_a7s_iii_mirrorless.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1481189/SID/DFF ⊹ Wide lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1784822-REG/sony_fe_16_35mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1280353/SID/DFF ⊹ Daily zoom lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1702384-REG/sony_fe_24_70mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1173401/SID/DFF ⊹ Telephoto lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1666363-REG/sony_fe_70_200mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1140502/SID/DFF ⊹ Vlogging microphone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1711447-REG/sony_ecm_b10_camera_mount_digital_shotgun.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1181147/SID/DFF ⊹ Tripod: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1495135-REG/peak_design_tt_cb_5_150_al_1_aluminum_travel_tripod.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x977480/SID/DFF ⊹ Drone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1870055-REG/dji_cp_ma_00000813_01_mini_4_pro_camera.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1688380/SID/DFF 🚐 Overlanding Gear 🚐 ⊹ GPS system: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/4Y7WnY7wMO ⊹ SOS device: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/6vA5CybBsp ⊹ Coffee maker: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/MoAv3eXVCB ⊹ Pots and pans: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/kToUdlsNeE ⊹ Headlamp: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/MNOJ54IUYi ⊹ Camp chairs: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/c8VxlLwgVd ⊹ Travel duffles: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/Zs4f6Licg5 ⊹ Packing cubes: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/7Z6UztzZCm ⊹ Down blanket: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/NSdtQ7s27N 🐶 Kramer’s Go-To Gear 🐶 ⊹ Backpack: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/RCTnyatdnA ⊹ Bike trailer: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/IHPEcnWezb ⊹ Cooling vest: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/dHAaKTsxZ4 ⊹ Rain jacket: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/BJtRsg4lms ⊹ Harness: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/rNvXBWXQYw ⊹ Leash: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/gEEUSEHHmc ✈️ Flight Deals ✈️ We find the best flight deals using @Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights).
