It went to like Norway at one point, and a whole bunch of other countries before being delivered to a random guys house in a holiday town in the UK by car and the owner called the local police who picked it up from the guy who was really nice about it and finally shipped it to him at his expense.

At this point the best options are to take cheaper gear you can afford to lose or rent at the location. At the end of the day it's youtube and twitch we're talking about their compression ruins any increase in quality you get over an entry level to intermediate camera anyway.

Can always put one of those GPS trackers in a bag next time. Heck it probably would have been cheaper to buy a smart phone and put it in a case to track.

[@pancakes465]

Why don't they ship it, with tracking and insurance through like FedEx or something? That would be better than baggage and you wouldn't have to bring it to the airport with you

[@lalaicast]

exactly what I asked when I first saw the Twitters post about this issue , I'm surprised they cheap out on using courier service for carrying such expensive equipment. 🤦‍♂️

[@beautifulbassist]

because that could take months for it to get to the US when they're only there for a few weeks. Makes sense to check in with you on the plane

@@beautifulbassist It depends on what class of freight you purchase. By shipping container might take that long, but for just 2 suitcases of stuff you can ship by air and it would arrive in a couple days.

in a situation like this, do you think its better to spread your losses by splitting the value of the bags in half or by 'taking a gamble' if you will, making one bag more valuable than the other

[@EnhancedTrashBin]

Sounds like a hassle may as well just leave their expensive shiet and just rent one

[@jeromeramos1931]

Its also a hassle trying to rent high quality filming and audio equipment not to mention having to set up using said equipment your not familiar with. Troubleshooting your own shit is bad enough. Using someone else would be hellish.

[@oh-noe]

I would try and get as much as the expensive stuff in my handbag as possible. Don’t trust other people with all my valuable shit.

[@crushworthyxo]

If you’re traveling with anything valuable I have two words for you: tracking devices! Throw an old iPhone or something that’s got “find my phone” on it. Tile or an Air Tag. I’m not sure how it can be retrieved when an airline loses it but I know these devices have saved my ass countless times. Hope they found the correct bag!

[@HyperLuigi37]

At this point the airline just needs to cough up the value of the lost bag. No way they can get away going this long with a bag that valuable.

[@waterturtle2919]

Standard insurance only covers up to 1500 per person. So unless they bought additional insurance, the airline will have to pay only a fraction. To be honest, if you travel with 50k of equipment in your airline baggage (notorious for losing and damaging stuff), you better insure that or you are an idiot.

[@staticziao]

you already know some of that shit is gonna be damaged it always end up like that

thanks for the cliffhanger

[@gredystar8333]

the airline has been unprofessional as heck for not communicating with them, but people need to understand this is happening all over the world. it's a problem with understaffed airports all over the world and likely outside the airline's control. It's happening to every airline because the problem is airports dismissed staff for the pandemic and people either didn't want to come back or the airport didn't hire them back. and now the remaining staff is overworked and tired and traffic has shot pass pracademic levels because everyone wants to do the things they couldn't do the past 2 years.

[@jack-exzolt9858]

Worst case scenario both bags would be empty. By goodness I hope it doesn't come to that. If it did I think the boys have the right to sue the said airline company.

[@inv3rted_moment884]

they already have the right to sue the company, but actually suing the airline would cost SEVERAL times what the lost equipment cost

[@I_am_ENSanity]

I don't understand how you can't sue them for this.

[@waterturtle2919]

Because those cases are covered by the terms and services which you agreed to. Baggage is usually insured with up to 500$ per item and its your responsibility to buy proper insurance if you travel with 50k+ baggage.

[@chessoc7799]

They can but only for about 1000 dollars.

[@VashdaCrash]

@@waterturtle2919 This. I think it's their own fault if they didn't get insurance.

@@VashdaCrash Even then the fact that it can get easily lost in the airport is insane...like just because they didn't have insurance for it doesn't give the airlines an excuse to lose baggages...

[@lulzdragon7339]

@@EnhancedTrashBin They don't need an excuse. Losing bags is expected for an airline operated by fallible humans. Packing $50k into a bag and giving it to an airline without insuring it is bordering on the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

[@fusedsins]

This is a great PSA for why checking bags is risky, but also why having a luggage lock for your important bags is always worth the expense.

[@Tugela60]

You know that those aircraft certified locks can all be opened by common keys right? The reason is that if security needs to inspect the bag they can do so without destroying it.

[@LumenPsycho]

I doubt it. They went missing for a reason. The best you'll get is a bag filled with rocks.

[@wesleyleigh4063]

bro i just dont get how bags can be lost, like.. they're at either airport surely, or did they just send them to a random country? It's just so bizarre.

[@StopChangingMyNameYoutube1]

With the level of cost we are talking about and their respective incomes, I'm quite surprised they haven't swarmed this airline with lawyers and a lawsuit. This is beyond ridiculous. Sure there is a lot to be said about taking preventative measures, but this is ultimately the Airline's screw up. They should be paying through the nose for it.

[@MyLittleGreenHairdedMermaid]

Im surprised too

[@MrSpartanspud]

Lawyers and a lawsuit would probably cost them more and there's a solid chance they wouldn't get anything anyway.

[@starforcestelar]

According to the us transportation site the Montreal Convention for international flights, requires airlines to pay up to $1,780.00. So basically 34% of what they lost

Ok i am actually kinda surprised ,people are mad at them that they did not put trackers in their bags ,while i get it is 50k worth of stuff but at the same time they really shouldnt be blamed .First of all , they are used to the Japanese service standards and second of all , is really easy to say in hindsight what should be done ,but in reality how many people use those security measures outside of celebrities (Btw i am from Europe so if is something about US laws and stuff i am unaware ).

Can't sue em for losing bags, it's covered in the agreement you sign when you agree to fly with them on their website. They're legally required to reimburse you, but up to a maximum of like 500 bucks. Or even less, depending on the airline.

[@JuriAmari]

This is why I’m super cautious every time I have to travel somewhere with my equipment (mine’s a lot simpler - photo camera and a portable mic). I don’t want to check it in because it could get stolen. If I carry it with me, I get questioned & checked a ton. My mom doesn’t get why I go through the trouble; this video explains perfectly why I’d rather be checked and proven innocent than checking in my stuff and losing them.
