Sky Deck in Mori Tower

Thanks!
No tripod for us, they took it away at the 53F before the final elevator (they have lockers there where all disallowed items (== everything but cameras and purses) go). The tripod does not fit into a locker so they just put it onto a cart near an attendant and we claimed it on the way back.

Thanks!

Well, I was lucky to get access to one of the rectangular pieces of the railing. Also with a big camera you can try to rest it a piece of railing where it changes direction and forms sort of a triangle.
Another trick I tried is to rest camera against observation tubes (if you center it right above support, it becomes somewhat easy to make it static for some time).

Finally, they also have those bendable barriers (kind of like in airports), you can actually detach one of the points and rest your camera on that (I did this, nobody said a word).

I also tried to ask them to use their tripod, but that was not allowed.

Finally, I have another idea that I plan to use next time, there is this useful thing called "super clamp" that can attach to various objects. I plan to use that next time since it's pretty small and I can just hide it in my photo bag.

Ah, forgot to say that access to the building is from Roppongi station.
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3031.html is the directions I used.
We walked from Azabujuban station, but it seems the map was not scaled correctly and Roppongi station is much closer.
Once you are there, just follow signs for Observation deck and then once you are at the top, pay some extra money and go to the Sky Deck (the observation deck is useless for photography mostly due to all the reflections from the glass, though the views from there are more interesting, you can see all the way down, as nothing obstructs the view)

Right after entering the roof of the Sky Deck there is a recessed platform to the right for better observation.
Right near that platform but not descending there is where I took the shot.

Thanks!

Thanks!
