When we enquired we were told that tripods and monopods were forbidden as "they might penetrate the soil". We did point out that we would use ground plates so that wouldn't happen, but no, sorry, no exceptions (we can only assume the TV crews who seem to be regular visitors to the monument must use some form of levitation for their kit).
Good to know that he who pays the price and offers the most publicity is still welcome anywhere!
Yes, same problem on Orkney, we tried really hard to get permission from HS to photograph the interior of Maes Howe. We even contacted their film and TV locations contract dept and offered to pay, but as we are not a "recognised professional organisation" even our money was no good.
Silly really, we have complete VR panoramic tours of the interiors of nearly all the accessible Orkney chambered cairns and yet we don't have even one photo of the interior of the most visited and famous one.
