No this isn't an April Fools post on how to accomplish the Wright Brother's achievement, using nothing but a tripod; It is a request for information on the best way to transport a tripod via commercial airlines.
I should have thought about this long before now, but... I've got a "normal" Manfrotto (good sized) tripod. I'm going to take the 3-way head with. I've got the Manfrotto soft (zippered) case for it. Is that good enough to trust to the gorillas that throw baggage around? I can pack with some bubble wrap in there, if that will help. Alternative suggestions? Thanks in advance. PS... I plan on carrying-on a backpack with camera video gear that is going with. My clothes suitcase can be checked-in. -- “The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ” ― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
