Some airlines with let you fudge a little on the carryon size, but others will not. It can also vary with the same airline depending on the TSA agent. >Alan

You're allowed a carry-on and a personal bag. I just bought my carry-on. I checked the dimensions on 5 different airlines, they vary from airline to airline. I pick the smallest one. That way I can use the case no matter where I fly. You're also allowed a personal carry. That is my backpack. My camera gear goes in the carry-on suitcase my other stuff goes in my personal backpack.

I’m trying to think of the last time airlines really enforced their own rules on carryon bags. I’ve seen a duffle bag, a carryon suitcase, and a computer bag, all from one person. In talking to several flight attendants they told me that the airlines don’t really want to enforce their own rules as it may piss off the public causing them to jump to another airline. I’m guessing you’ll be fine.

In the meantime, those of us who try and observe the rules are the ones who end up pissed off.

You didn't say where you are traveling to. In the U. S. I've never had a problem with anyone checking the size of my bag. But in Europe I have had to put my bag in the bag template at the boarding gate to check the size. Had to pay $100 the first time this happened.
Now I make sure my bag always meets the airline restrictions.

fire containment kits/bags for lithium are most likely on your plane now, for those thinking about batteries, with baggage the thing I think about is leaving the mainline carrier and switching to a commuter plane which needs baggage checked for weight and balance purposes on the ramp, there’s your unexpected separation!

When I tell them it’s cameras and gear, if I can’t fit it in overhead, I can sometimes fit it underneath with my feet in part of it. If it’s a small commuter jet I ask them and they will put it in their closet up front. I’ve never had to check the bag.

I also try to go in pre board to get my gear settled and they don’t question me, but I am older too.

Tomorrow I'm expecting a Mindshift Moose camera backpack (the biggest model) that I couldn't resist from Adorama. My softsided lunchbox was just too small anymore considering I just bought a 150-600. The info says it's supposed to fit in the overhead, but last time I flew was 3 yrs ago. The bag is a lot bigger than I'll ever need, but I can add clothes to it and use it as a regular carry-on :)

It may vary and it's best checked prior to a flight but the maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches within the USA.
