Q: 3. Is this tripod compact enough to fit as carry-on for airplane travel?

A: The answer depends. The short answer is: probably not. The overall dimension of this tripod aren't provided by the manufacturer, but based on the other tripods around this size, I would estimate its size to be approximately 22.5" long with a apex diameter of about 5-7" around. It's not a compact tripod, relatively speaking. Technically, as long as you can fit that into a carry on that meets your airline's limit (typically 22 x 14 x 9 domestic and 21 x 13 x 8 international) it should not be an issue. The TS-84C comes with its own bag as well, which by itself is not guaranteed to meet your airline's overhead limit, likely due to the width of the overhead bin. Depending on many other factors, your airline might allow it, or subject it to check-in only or gate check, so it's best to contact your carrier directly and check how strict they are with their carry-on restrictions.

Q: 6. Is there a taller version? I'm 6 ft. tall and the max height on this is only 5'3".
