Tripod when flying.???

I leaving this week to Ga flying delta......have a carryon camera bad would like to carrier on my tripod..............wi​ll it be a problem
Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem. I flew two days ago with my stuff, no problems.

I usually pack my tripod in my checked-on luggage. I have had problems with trying to carry a monopod on an Alaska Airlines flight between Los Angeles and Anchorage because security said it was a "weapon-like" object. However, I saw several people carrying monopods on the flight back to L.A. from Anchorage. Asking the TSA agent, I was told, "Folks carry those aboard all the time - no problem!"

i had no issues with a tripod in my carry-on this week either on american airlines

maybe I will just call delta....just to on the safe side
tripod >>>>>Manfrotto 055xprob and Manfrotto 488RC2

After something like three airline trips where I took my tripod and didn't use it, I quit taking it along. With several IS lenses, I discovered I really didn't need it and it was extra weight in my luggage.

I pack the tripod in checked baggage. Can't be sure someone along the way won't decide your tripod is a potential threat. The only trip I haven't used mine on was the one where I left it in the room instead of taking it along for a night sightseeing. Fortunately, an IS lens and bracing against my wife let me get the shot.

That's the same one I flew with. Zero hassles.

we put tripods in checked luggage without problem. Put TSA locks on the bag so if TSA does decide to take a look....they can relock the bag.

The problem with that approach is that it is not the airline's decision whether or not you can pack a tripod in your carryon luggage. TSA has the final word, and their choices/decisions vary a lot between airports. To be safe, you should put it in your checked bags.

You need it for this...

That's what they're ultimately there for... support

My luck I would even need it..........thanks for the help, I will ask while im at the airport for the next trip

Rarely a problem but they CAN ask you to check your baggage into Luggage. Believe it or not they can possible consider the tripod a potential weapon in carry on luggage or a place to store or transport drugs becaues of the hallow tubes.

Spiked feet might not fly...
