I would to hand carry the tripod if possible. My tripod is a >Bogen 3211. This has not been a problem for me. I usually carry my scope and tripod in a small duffel-like bag. The tripod is too long to fit entirely in it, and sticks out one end. No airline personnel have ever questioned me about it. It fits easily in the overhead bin. I put it toward the rear, with my coat or backpack in front of it, so it won't fall on anyone.
