Tripods allowed as Carry ons for Air Travel?

Thanks Roger. Yes, I've been lurking awhile. And my first post is about tripods of all things. The one piece of gear I'd love to leave home. What a pain they are. LOL

 

Thanks Tim

 

Just back from a trip to Daytona with a couple of days in WDW. ; I carried my tripod strapped to my back pack on without any problems through the Indianapolis and Orlando airports. ; I did call TSA before I left and they said that tripods are not on the prohibited list and were fine to carry on. ; My tripod is a fairly small...22 inches when folded without the ball head (I pack it with my gear in the backpack). ;
