I am off to Orkney on Friday and want to try out some landscape, night and beach photography. I have a small Manfrotto tripod but bless (it was a present) it doesn't seem that good and is weird to use. It has two levers which make it awkward to adjust and the camera rarely stays still during operation.
My generous housemate has offered to lend me her Manfrotto 055xprob tripod and a 701hdv head (more suited for video/filming). Noticeably better than mine and it looks like it will stay sturdy in the Scottish winds. Only problem is.....it's just massive! I have tried Googling Easyjet's policy but I can only really find the odds internet question from a few years ago. I will ring but still a little cautious what someone on the phone tells me only for someone on the day at the airport say I can't bring on board.
So what are people's experiences with large(r) tripods and bringing them on as hand luggage? Thanks
