Can tripod be brought on as carry on during flight?

I've never brought all my gear with me during travel, and now it looks like we may be heading to Hawaii in December. I would like to bring all my gear with me, but not to excited about any of my photography equipment going under the plane. Can the tripod be carried onto the plane as a carry on piece?

Why wouldn't it? Just put it in the over head?

Many bags have a section that will hold a tripod. I'm thinking as long as you aren't acting suspicious you won't have any problems.

I've carried my Gitzo 5541 tripod on many times (large tripod). Most of the time though it is in my checked bag, tucked in clothes.
