I've gone up the empire state building with my pro gear, had no problems; but you will not be allowed to bring any-type of tripod nor monopod & if the rules had changed .. then I would advice you to go to the Observation deck in the Freedom towers or Rockefeller Centers (top of the rock)

Cameras for personal use should be fine at the Empire State Building, but tripods, professional cameras, etc., will probably not get past security screening. Nor will their cases, your carry-on luggage...
