1. My holiday insurance doesn't seem to provide more than £400 per article or set of articles. I don't have a lot of confidence that this would cover loss of or damage to my camera kit as I guess they'd lump it all in as a single 'set of articles'. Has anyone found a good camera policy for non-pros that covers kit properly while abroad as I doubt my household insurance would do it?
2. Is it safe to carry camera kit onto the plane or do the security people paw the lenses and delve inside camera bodies? Can't seem to find many mentions of this in the threads - what I have seen seems to favour carrying onto the plane.
Thanks for any advice.

Your Houshold insurance will cover it if you have an 'all risks' policy. But check the limits on each item. It's usually £400. I went skiing and took my binos and it cost me £20 to upgrade the limit/article to £2,000.
Take the camera kit in the hand luggage. Dont let it go it the hold for any reason!
i had no problems when i went to zambia a while back i dont know what i is like now
