Most airlines don't like tripods.? Check the tripod in your luggage & carry scope in carry-on.

Hi all,

I'm headed north next week and will be taking my spotting scope.? Can I simply just carry on the scope attached to the tripod onto the plane as one of my personal items?? I don't have a case to carry it in.? I have checked bags before and seen items as binders and such crushed so I don't really want to put it in the checked luggage.

Thanks for any information you can provide!
