Do you feel secure.......

Ed,
By the way, please post some photos. I've been wondering when
someone with an 1Ds will post some pics
Will
I'm still selling everything i own to get a 1DS [All my film bodies and non-es

sential lens'].So i'm affraid you'll stll be waiting on pics,sorry William.

MIchael,thanks for the tip on the Pelican case,it would be great for

travel.As for everyday use i have a 3'x3'x1'tall truckvault and just have

enough room.

Sorry about spacing i have a 3 year old waiting to play on "HIS" puter,as he calls it.
 
By all means get insurance.

OTOH, having had my equipment stolen before, I can also say that prevention has it's own rewards.

My camera bag has about $12,000 worth of gear in it. For that kind of money, not having insurance AND protection is stupid.

Besides, to get a good rate you're going to need to do at least a $500 deductable. Spending a few hundred on the Pelican and locks is cheaper.

Finally, I'll also mention that you can only go back to the insurance well so many times before it drys up....

yes, both. insurance doesn't help when you're in the middle of or on the way to or have the next day, a job or shoot or vacation. also, possibly you can get better insurance rates if you show them the way you're securing your gear
 
I don't feel secure but must in some cases leave equipment inthe car. that's why I have lots of coverage.
 
Carlos, do you have a problem for every solution...????

Jos,

Nice site Edward
when you have to leave your expensive digital [or pro film]
equipment in your van,suv,wagon or truck?I have a mid size suv,lots
of glass,and i was petrified if i even ran into 7/11 for a
soda.Then i found this link somewhere [www.truckvault.com] and
after ordering one of these babies i never feel that way
anymore.They are not cheap but if you are a pro shooter,or just
carry a 1DS for that matter,this may be something of interest to
you.One point before you think the unit is expensive,wait till you
see shipping charge.The full size units are 150lbs+.I live in s.Fla
and they are in Wash.[state] and my ship was $250[you can save $50
if a comm. delivery].If you don't need the full size boxes
[excursion,suburban]you should be able to talk him down on unit
price because if i remember they were all the same price, but i
argued that i mine was 1/2 the size of those units why should i pay
same price.It worked for me!The secure feeling it gives me...
priceless!!! By the way they do have a couple models for large
cars.
 
Thanks Jos.Wow ,i would hate to see the delivery charge on one of the truckvaults for you!!

Saw your picture of your daughter the other day.Great picture,very pretty girl.Thanks for sharing the PS info on it[i assume she liked it].Look forward to seeing more of your work.
