Put it on your home insurance.

Agree with Phil give them a call and tell them what you have and its value and see what additional cost it is on the premium.

If you're selling or making money, then beware of the home inswerants - if you need to claim they may well try to weasel out of it :frown:.

There are a few specialist companies that deal with photographers - Aaduki, Photoguard and Towergate are the ones that come up most often. Most have premiums designed for am, semi-pro and pro.

I tried to add my kit to my home insurance (More Than) and after referral to an Underwriter, they didn't want to know.

A quote from a specialist came in at over £400 per annum, but then the value of kit at risk made the decision an easy one.
