Re: Tripod in carry-on luggage?
2010/2/22 gldnbearz gldnbearz.p...@gmail.com: I've looked on the TSA web site the airline's web site, but can't find anything re: carrying my tripod in my carry-on luggage. Here's the tripod in question: http://tinyurl.com/yas76je I agree with Paul. That thing is small enough to fit snugly into a containter that's inside the volume restrictions of carryon, so you'll probably be fine. I would not have hesitated to bring it in and out of London Heathrow, at least. In December I brought my ThinkTank Airport Security bag with a Manfrotto 055 tripod (http://turl.no/80b) strapped to its outside, and it didn't raise a brow. I had to remove the tripod from the bag to fit it into the overhead locker.

Re: Tripod in carry-on luggage?
I've air traveled for years with a Bogen 3221 tripod and either a Kirk or Bogen head installed and have never had any issues - put it in the overhead. You'll be ok with yours (it appears smaller than the 3221) Kenneth Waller http://www.tinyurl.com/272u2f - Original Message - From: AlunFoto alunf...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Tripod in carry-on luggage? 2010/2/22 gldnbearz gldnbearz.p...@gmail.com: I've looked on the TSA web site the airline's web site, but can't find anything re: carrying my tripod in my carry-on luggage.

You'll be ok with yours (it appears smaller than the 3221) I'd be weary of the low-fare companies, but otherwise... :-) In the Bogen/Manfrotto case, it can be a good idea to pack the centre-column and ballhead apart from the legs. It reduce the total length of the item by 10 cm at least.

Re: Tripod in carry-on luggage?
Last big trip, I packed my ball head and plates, and arranged to borrow a set of legs when I arrived at my destination. I was over-loaded on the way there. Usually, I carry the tripod in its own bag strapped to my carry-on bag. I've not had any trouble doing that, but then I haven't flown since the most recent nonsense during the holidays. If the tripod legs can fit inside my carry-on, I'll do that, but at present none of mine do that very easily. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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.

Re: Tripod in carry-on luggage?
Thanks Paul, Ken, Jostein, Godfrey. I didn't have room for it in the suitcase. My husband offered to carry it. I later say it in the side net pocket of his backpack. No one said anything. =) - Pat -- 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.

Re: Tripod in carry-on luggage?
Fully collapsed, it should be fine for carry on. Put it in a bag if you have one.
