Flying - Mini Tripod in Hand Luggage

Quick question.

Flying to Austria on Saturday for annual yomping in the Alps. My 'big' tripod will be in my checked in holdall. I also take a small Manfrotto mini table top tripod. Will this be allowed in my carry-on bag?

Manfrotto tripod.
Manfrotto 709B

Provided it fits in your carry-on it is allowed.
Make sure your camera has a charged battery, as well as all the other electronic gear you may be taking. The new security rules now apply to all flights, not just those to the US.

Yes - they are making a big to-do about the new restrictions on electrical gear . Remember you can be asked to demonstrate that everything can be switched on - this is cameras , phones , tablets etc etc

If it doesn't switch on - you may not be able to fly !!

I was recently asked to unpack my hand luggage and had to demo how my table-top tripod worked as apparently it looked a bit suspicious on the x-ray. No problem though once they saw what it was.

If you can't switch the tripod on it will have to be confiscated...

Just had a trip to the USA, security were asking how long I had owned my cameras and had they been for repair in the last 6 months. As both items I had with me were over 1 year old and had not been sent away they were happy for me to take them on board.
