Going to Croatia in a week on a holiday and was thinking I need to get insurance, up until now I've only ever travelled around the UK and Germany when visiting in-laws. I'll be taking 10k worth, so I'll be gutted if it gets nicked by some scrout, though will mitigate as best I can by taking gear on plane as hand luggage and have Sun-Sniper strap when out with body+lens.

I have zero experience with camera insurance or if folks use some other facility so wondered what you all use and any tips to avoid common issues would be greatly appreciated.
 
Aaduki is where i get it from, it covers 30 days abroad per year.

On my last month's trip to Japan I dropped my film camera and also my Sony and broke a front filter so claimed through my travel insurance (bought from AA), was not a lot, total £300 and they accepted my claim on the phone and pay out in a week.

Interesting, I'll call them, quote was £25 for amateur bracket, no questions about specific equipment (eg individual items over £2k). I need to be sure as some others had limits on handouts per item (£1500 on another company), which was more geared towars Joe Blogs.

Yeah, i had Photoguard before where they wanted a list with prices. When they doubled their price i swapped to Aaduki, and was surprised to find out they didn't need any list, as long as you are happy the cover for an individual item is not over X pound and the total is not over Y amount.
 
Would be interesting to compare the additional premium for adding to the house insurance as opposed to an specific policy.
