Darren, I've flown alot with my tripods (all Gitzos & big enough to handle a
600mm lens) & have either carried them onboard & stored in the overhead or
shipped them with my clothes in a suitable bag (I've used duffle bags on
occasion). Heads attached either way.

Subject: How to fly with a tripod
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.
