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.

Park at Arlington. Huge parking facility there. The cemetery offers a $46 Hop on Hop off into DC that includes the cemetery trolley. Do not drive into DC. I almost killed 6 pedestrians. The cemetery might close at 8, but not before. There’s an awesome hotel, Le Meridian, in Arlington. Book through Hotwire. DC is a ghost town at night. Drive your own car to look at the monuments at night. Glorious!!! We were able to drive right up to the monuments at night.
