ethanz said:Ok Neuro sure its great to have one at night, do you use one during the day too?
And does the TSA allow a tripod on carry on?

Yes, I often shoot architecture when traveling, and in the daytime I use a 10-stop ND to blur out people, capture cloud motion, etc.
I've traveled frequently with my RRS TQC-14 in carry on luggage.

ethanz said:Thanks Neuro, or John if I may. If I could get just one ND, would you recommend a 10 stop?
The shot from Lucerne is nice (I was there in May and it was overcast for me). It does mostly blur out the people, but the clouds almost look too heavily edited with them blurred like that.

I suspect that's one of those things that's at the discretion of the screener. You can carry on scissors with metal blades shorter than 4", so I expect the RRS foot spikes would be ok. I would not have them installed on the legs, because then your tripod may seem like a bundle of spears.
If you watch the original video, he says those do not work in tall grass because the spikes are too short to reach the ground. In some terrain I am sure he is correct.Don Haines said:What about those tripod feet with both. The spike is there permanently, and you screw in/out the rubber to change the contact point from rubber to metal and back....
