    Photoguard Worldwide insurance

    ok, reading the policy it says that the item is covered away from the 'insured location' from theft, damage, loss etc if it is not left unattended or the item is locked away in a cupboard or box and any security devices have been made operational. just dont let the thing out of your sight...

    Photoguard Worldwide insurance

    yeah i just tried calling but there is no one there weekends and i leave Monday morning. the website defines it as ''Insured location - this is a single, specified place where you store your equipment, typically your home or studio.'' yet i imagine this is disregarded for worldwide cover by...

    Photoguard Worldwide insurance

    Just a quick question on the above. To anyone who has it, halfway through the application it asks you the 'insured location'. obviously as im getting worldwide cover this is never going to be the same for more than a month at a time, does this matter? Only i would hate to have my gear pinched in...

    pacsafe sizes

    Hi dottyross. they retail for £41 new from amazon, though the 55 is more expensive (£47) for some unknown reason so i think i will buy new at these prices. what size pack did you use it for out of interest and did it do the job?

    pacsafe sizes

    thanks mark! just did some sums and worked out the cubic volume of the bag is about 34 cubic litres, so it should be fine. i was confused by someone on Amazon who said the 85L was too small for her photo trecker classic bag, which isnt all that bigger than the lowepro 250

    pacsafe sizes

    does anyone know what size pacsafe bag protector would fit the Lowepro fastpack 250? I am thinking the 55L will be fine but has anyone used it?

    Bag for travel?

    Just checked them out, really like the Versapack 200 AW but couldnt work out if a laptop would fit in it. the upper and lowe compartments are seperated byt i cant tell if the upper goes in behind the lower to give further storage, or just stops, cutting the bag in half

    Bag for travel?

    ill go to the camera shop today, if they have the bag ill look at it and if it looks the part, i am sure i can get up there with some gear, they may even let me use the shop's display products.; shame its not weatherproof but plastic bags make good friends

Ozei i think my local shop has one...

    Bag for travel?

    this looks a good bag but do you think it would be big enough for my kit? while not huge, my two lenses are certainly more chunky than the kit lens and there does not look to be that much room in the compartment. other than this it looks good
