Insurance for our gear
It would be interesting to know how you insure your bodies, lenses etc.
Specially those who travel like I do.
Last time I had an insurance a few years ago, it happened to my DVcam (yes we also do video shooting) an unwealthy shower of salted water.
When we came back and wrote to declare the damage (camera was dead) to the insurance, I got no answer. So I called the insurance rep and discovered that the inusrance company did bankrupt a few weeks before.
Bad luck, no LOL.
Since this I've no insurance, but I leave and almost sleep with my bag when I travel. 25.000 € in a small bag is easy to be stolen. This is not serious, I must find a solution, but what I've seen is really expensive as soon as you declare a pro use of your gear.
Any inputs, especially from Europeans?
