I would try to see if you can silence the shutter. The stick tripod is no problem since you will be behind the line (rails). The length of the lense is no problem. Again, you will always be behind the rail or rope. I am not really sure on how much of a problem the shutter noise will be. You might want to go a step further and contact the cemetery. There should be someone there to answer this question better. I used my Fuji camera and had the shutter silenced. Good luck.

No. Entrance to the cemetery is no cost.

no fee. We rushed to get there 'on time'. When we got there, we realized that there is always something going on. If you plan to stay 1/2 hour, you will see the entire cycle. After parking, it is about a 10 minute walk to get to the actual tomb.

Hoooooola. La entrada al cementerio es gratis y no debes pagar nada si fueras recorriendo x tu cuenta. En caso que no desees caminar hay un trencito que es pago y te lleva a recorrer el cementerio que es muy grande en extensión y es increíble la cantidad y diversidad de tumbas. Esta dividido por sectores : 1ra guerra, 2da guerra mundial, guerra de corea, etc etc. Puedes llegar en subte y si vas en auto te cobran el estacionamiento por hora. Espero lo disfrutes.

Free parking is nonexistent on the East Coast in general. If you are on a timetable, bite the bullet and park at Arlington.

I would research directly with the visitors center on site. You may need a special pass or invitation and possibly security clearance in this day and age. If you are staying nearby at a hotel, a hotel concierge may be able to assist you. All the best.

It's about a 10 minute walk depending on your pace. Just note that it is kind of steep so have good walking shoes and drink water as it can get hot

Yes, I took lots of photos - assume you could video too

No, it's free and if you go to the visitor's center, they have guided tours via trolleys and you can get on an off at the most popular sites. Highly recommend it!
