You can carry it in your cabin luggage, but ensure that tripod spikes are placed in your checked luggage. You shouldn’t encounter any issues during transport.

I usually carry it in check-in to avoid the hassle, but I don’t think it would be a problem if you carry with you in cabin.

This is something even I want clarity on, any help from other members or @sudhir_shivaramyahoo-com would be appreciated.

I always carry my tripod as check-in. If the tripod legs have spikes, then you are in trouble for carry on. I put the tripod in the cloth cover which came with it and put it in luggage.
