Stan,
Having flown quite a lot in the past few years, both domestically and
internationally, I've seen some stubborn and arrogant airline employees
(gate agents and flight attendants).
On one of the regional flights, the flight attendant was demanding to
gate-side-check the bag even after i
Carryon.
This last year I have been on four regional flights in small regional-type
planes, four flights domestically in 737-style planes or larger, three
long-distance international flights on 757 or 767 planes, and four flights on
non-U.S. carriers within South America. I strapped my Manfrott
A few experiences:
Oslo - Newark 2004: a Sachtler 75 with a large Foba ballhead. Collapsed legs 80

I’ve sent a tripod as baggage many times in a zippered case. No problems.
