The reason my brother does not carry on anything because like most diabetics he is over weight. He weighs 300 lbs. Does not have the stamina to walk long distances let alone with extra weight. Who cares about a camera ? The point is if you don't check your sugar regularly you can DIE. He is also asthmatic and need the respirator to breath at night.
Obviously a camera is not important - what is important is your brother's equipment he needs. I would recommend still that your brother put it in a carry on if possible and ask for assistance. If this means using a wheel chair and have someone from the airport push him around by all means then.
With such an inportant peice of luggage one can't afford to take chances.
