My Canon XL1 video camera is all in a case that is 100% carry on legal, fits in an overhead bin, and isn't an issue.
Never check a camera, never check a laptop, and never check anything of value that can easily be seen on an X-ray scan (because all bags get scanned).

Exactly.
I would never thinking about checking a Camera.
I also always book with my Amex to get their insurance on my checked and carry on items.
For your sake I hope you get some kind of claim.
