Godfrey's own words... .I've carried-on my Feisol CT3442 Tournament tripod several times. .Folded and in its case, with Acratech head, they're 19x5.5" and weigh .4.2 lbs. I don't put It in the carry-on bag although it can fit if I .take it out of its case.
Last time I checked one would be allowed the carry on bag and one extra piece such as camera bag or lady purse. don't know if we would be allowed a tripod bag and a carry on, the camera being inside the carry on and the tripod inside the longer shoulder bag. I carried my old Vivitar in its bag and my camera bag into a plane (2001) without problems, but the next time some suspicious mind insisted on opening the checked tripod bag in my presence, suspecting of gun parts (2001 again). Last year I had no tripod issues - left it home and regretted every second. I suspect the tripod may be objected as a threat, no matter how you fit into a proper bag. That's one issue I'd follow carefully. lf Luiz Felipe luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br http://www.techmit.com.br/luizfelipe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
