Non UK Iceland - taking a tripod

[NeilA1975]

Morning all,

Off to Iceland in a couple of weeks and wondering what to do with my tripod.
The tripod I have is in the link.

I'm thinking of boxing it and sticking it in my suitcase?

Any suggestions appreciated!

Put it in your suitcase, wrapped in clothes etc.

I doubt the airline will allow it as hand luggage

Took mine in suitcase no problem.

winter jacket is more than enough for some padding. They are tough things, well at least until you stick them in the sea water.

Rinse well after any sea water immersion - IIRC, we had 2 tripods start to fail while we were there. Maybe take a WD40 impregnated rag to wipe down any alloy tripod legs/head parts.
