Flying with Recording Equipment
BradleyJY15:
I have only flown with mic stand a few times. But am doing it next week and looked into Southwest policy. I plan to check my stand. I have a soft bag from Manfrotto. I will wrap the stand in clothes to cushion the bag as must as possible. I will claim it as a musical instrument. For Southwest, this has 2 advantages: 1-it flies free 2-you can try to bring it onto plane if it fits overhead (as previously said, I am just going to check, but they will let you bring on if it can fit and claimed as musical instrument). Hope this helps, every airline will be different.

re the stand and covering it clothing etc. If you have an old lawn chair, the bags often can be used to fit stands which are not huge.

There's a lacrosse stick bag that voltronic posted about which fits the Manfrotto 1004 stand, if you have that one.
