Peak Design's backpacks work well in overhead bins, though I usually travel with a McHale expedition pack with McHale's bayonet feature, where you can remove the top part of the stays and roll the top half of the pack down to make it day pack sized.
Tripod wise, Really Right Stuff makes phenomenal tripods, but my RRS tripod is one of the larger models; it's rock solid and lightweight, but it's a bit bulky. For everyday travel I've been using a Three Legged Thing Leo, which is insanely compact, and is rated at 60 pounds load capacity, which means it can probably hold almost as much weight as my RRS Versa series 2 tripod... which once I replace the crappy Manfrotto Nitrotech head, I wouldn't hesitate to use with an Alexa. (But not with the Nitrotech.)
