    Camera Insurance for outdoors

    I tried to claim a year approximately a year a go and cliik were very poor with terrible customer service and they made things very difficult and stressfull with my claim. Not very understanding at all about the whole situation. Fortunately their underwriters were very good and used common...

    YN560 III

    I used to use the 560 mark 1 in manual on my 60d and 5d3 and it worked great. I did then buy a yn TTL version but didn't really use the function because I'd got used to using it in manual. All in all a really powerful flash for the money but it does take some trial and error to get used to.

    sorry camera insurance

    Yes that's fine but the 'specialist' loss adjuster who was appointed to me just spent his time with me distegarding my proof of purchases i had sent to them then googled the prices of my kit and was only willing to pay out grey import prices, which is fine if you originally payed grey import...

    sorry camera insurance

    Yes that's my point they send out the t&c's before you commit not the policy wording. The t&c's only state what amounts you are insured for and who you complain to etc. the policy wording which includes all exclusions for not paying out is only sent out after you have committed or it was...

    sorry camera insurance

    I'm not a lawyer and don't understand what will get me in trouble etc but initially I was happy to put my experiences across but if it means like people have said I am going to get sued then yes I'd rather not get caught up in all this. My initial post was hasty/extremely negative because I...

    Again I'm just getting my opinions across. If it means getting dragged in to arguments over exact details I have better things to focus my time on now than de-personalising documents, images and e-mail trails then posting on here just to satisfy peoples curiosity. The facts are I am not without...
