Currently have a Velbon ball-head tripod, but it is not compact and bit heavy too. So not sure if to bring or leave it.

I remember reading somewhere here on dps forum that there's complication bringing tripod on board of flight? So have to be check in baggage? (that is if I decide to bring this tripod)

thus I'm looking for alternative
I have never had a problem carrying a tripod and a pair of light stands as carry on, but I have only tried it here in the states. When I flew international (Rome) I left alot at home.
