Tripods are very easily broken by airport handling. Take the head off,
and pack it and the legs in with your clothes bag, or carry the legs
aboard and put in the bin. The average tripod "bag" does nothing to
protect the tripod from anything other than scratches.

C'mon, Gonz.
Would you like to have a tripod or 3.7 monopods on arrival?

$25."

Anyone ever had problems checking
tripods as checked luggage on
flights? Is a protective bag necessary? I was
planning on just
making sure the legs were tied together. Does anyone
know if they
charge $25 for this also?
