Tripod in hand luggage?
Hi guys,
I was wondering is it possible to take a tripod on a plane as hand lugage?
I am going from London Gatwick to Krakow in Poland. My tripod is 26cm and weighs 500g.
I have tried contacting british airways and asking but it's no use.
I'm preferably looking for answers from people who have had experience, but welcome all replies.
Cheers in advance

You can take a bicycle as hold luggage. I don't see a camera tripod being a problem (from the airline's perspective 
Hold luggage yes you can, hand luggage I seriously doubt it.
Sorry but you've got no chance.

My Velbon Luxi fits inside my backpack (Mini Trecker)and it's been all over the world as hand luggage, including at least a dozen flights this year. It's been inspected on many occasions, though. With new restrictions, well, I'm not sure. I got a tiny bottle of lens cleaning fluid confiscated and had problems with the small screwdriver that come with Lee filter kits.
