How do you take a monopod with you by air? Mine (the Manfrotto with the friction locks which Michael reviewed a while ago: I forget the model number) is too large to fit into any of my suitcases. I'm reluctant to let it go in the hold on its own and I suspect (though I didn't try) that the crew would look askance if I tried to take it on board.
Does anyone make a handle with a tripod bush socket? Then I could limp a bit and pretend it was a walking stick
