Actually I would (considering finances) probably select the same tripod now that I bought a quarter of a century ago, and it's still produced, but costs about $150 now, vs. $75 then. I might have to buy one, too, thanks to what the airline baggage handlers did to it a couple of months ago.

Which tripod do you have?
On the subject of flying with tripod legs, I did take my legs with me on the last plane trip in my checked bag and they did just fine. With that being said, I'd still prefer that my next set of legs be small enough to fit into a larger carry-on. Even if I were to go with a set of legs that needed to be in a checked bag, I'd still remove the head and at least carry that on with me.
