Hi all,

Not sure if this the right area to post, but, I'd like views on Equipment replacement insurance for photographers.

I'm going abroad, and I'll be in a Campervan, and also going abroad within the EU, for a week of photography. The trouble with Nature photography is that we use big lenses, which have a high inherent value !!

I've looked at quotes from Aaduki and Amateur Photographer insurance but would appreciate your views.

Thanks

Graham

Some of my equipment is insured with my house contents. It's expensive but cheaper than going elsewhere. Over the last few years it's cost me a 4 figure sum but I guess it's worth it just in case.

My gear is on All Risks with my house insurance. I honestly don't know how much extra it cost but it was cheaper than my previous policy witch didn't cover the camera gear!

As suggested above, the best way (assuming it is for non-professional use) is to add it to your home insurance under the personal possessions section. My Axa home insurance policy cost me about £230 in total, not sure how much of that is made up of the personal possessions section, I guess about £50, and that is covering about £16k.

Go and see or phone your local independent insurance broker who will be happy to advise.
