I took a tripod to China strapped to a Tamrac backpack and had no problems. It depends how big it is when not extended though. If it protrudes too much from the dimensions of the pack you may have a problem.

Hi there, I went to china with a tripot strapped to my lowepro flipside 300 backpack. and I never had any problems in musea, tourist sites, you name it.
For the flight itsef I stored the tripod in my suitcase, beacause airlines can get nervous about these thing in your personal luggage.

Do you mean as hand luggage, or in the hold?
Airlines seem to be getting tougher on hand luggage these days.


It's a few years ago now, but while travelling to/around India we obviously didn't take suitcases but large back-packs.

Because they aren't particularly secure we bought some strong canvas material & had kit-bags made (with metal eyelets/hoops around the top, so padlocks & cable ties could be used) which our backpacks went into & never had any problems at airports. In fact we usually got our bags 1st @ baggage collection, because they tended to be unloaded last & put on top of the flatter suitcases by the handlers.

I mean in the hold. I can't imagine why you would want to put you tripod with your hand luggage. Hand luggage for me is luggage I want to keep an eye on and is essential to me. Now a tripod isn't that essential to me that I would want to take it on as hand luggage.

it wouldnt be checked. i would bring it with my camera bag. attached on the side tripod straps. we are thinking of bringing one big suitcase and checking it in because we have a lot of extra stuff that wont fit. i might see if i can fit it in there.
