Anyone got any good suggestions for camera gear and laptop insurance?
I looking OUTSIDE of home owners - which won't pay if you're doing a "pro" gig.

I have inland marine policies on most anything for my business that cost more than about 200 bux.

it's a policy that has a straight 200 deductible no matter how many things get stolen/damaged/stepped on/ etc... IE. if my cam gets run over I pay 200 and it's replaced, if my cam all my mics and my teleprompter get sat on and broken by the worlds most obese man and are busted, I pay 200 bux and they all get replaced.

Mine is through State Farm Insurance (I might have gone with someone else, but theirs seems to be the most hassle free method and the price is decent). Also - I don't do shooting out of the country and I'm not sure if that has any affect on it. Made sure to check with your insurance folks when you look into it because they'll have all the details, but be a little read up on it so that you can cut them off if they start schpeeling you ;)

Per month or per year?
