Air Travel - Tripods allowed or not?
Hi,
After the strict rules for not allowing specific things in the inflight baggage, I am in double mind to take my Manfrotto tripod in my in-flight baggage or store it in my check-in baggage. Does anybody know about the airlines rules for taking tripods in the inflight baggage? And you know the Manfrotto ones are not small to go undetected. Thanks. |

You can carry on a monopod, or a dipod if you buy an extra ticket.
Tripods go with the luggage. "[KS]" wrote in message ...

Check with TSA. I traveled with a tripod attached to my wheeled camera bag
to China and Eastern Europe. No problems. |

Forget taking it on board as carry-on in todays environment. I've taken my tripod in checked baggage several times. No problem. For packing I removed the head and stuffed it in a running shoe, and interspesed socks within the leg area of the pod. Don't forget what ever tool you might need for reassembly if you remove the head (eg: a small blade screwdriver for the three tightening screws on the bottom that many manfrotto heads have. For a short while you can get away without tightening these, but they might vibrate loose and get lost, and the head may come loose (unlikely)).
