<p>Just looking for any help on travel insurance for camera gear.<br>

Can you get insurance for the time you are away or is it a yearly thing?<br>

Some info. on companies that are best suited for South Africa (if it makes a difference where you travel to?).</p>

<p>Thanks guys to all that responded, more then helpful.<br>

I'm going to post a thread re: insurance for you camera guys. Happy for any help.</p>

<p>I have my first job as a photographer travelling o/s (South Africa). The question I have, is about travelling with camera gear. I will be taking 2 camera bodies and 3 lens (one will be a 500mm). Does anyone check-in their camera equipment (in a hard case) that goes underneath the plane? Or do you do your best to get it on-board with you? I know this would be ideal but how hard is it with most airlines. Do you have any good one-liners that work with the airlines, to get your camera gear on-board? Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Just adding to the above....... I'm looking to use the underwater housing, is shallow water, surfing, waves etc</p>

<p>I was just wanting to know some advice on brands for underwater housing. Any pros and cons would be much appreciated. For Canon 50D....</p>

Thanks to all for your response. Matthijs I'm using 1ds mark III. I think I might give them all a try and with the comments in mind and a little more research make a decision in the next month or so. Thanks once again and don't be scared to comment more.

I'm looking to buy a super telephoto lenses, I was just hoping for some advice/experience on these 3 lenses. For

Wildlife Photography.
