Hi Janne,

No worries, we'll be getting together soon again - let me know if you have any questions or if you want to have a look at it before you get your own!

Right now I'm looking into which different insurance options I have for my equipment. Things that I want to be covered:

- when the equipment is inside the office
- when it's rented out
- when i'm using it for my own stuff
- worldwide coverage

Right now it seems like Gefvert will offer the best solution, but Trygg Hansa and Länsförsäkringar might be options too. Gefvert's worldwide "objekförsäkring" is 12 450kr on a 300 000kr investment - if you join OFF (www.off.se) - joining OFF might be a good idea anyway (it's 1200kr/year which includes free legal help and advice). Initially the Gefvert insurance wouldn't cover the gear if I or someone in the company would not be present, but after talking to them I'm getting a pretty good deal: I will provide them with a list of names (that I will keep updated) of people I trust to handle the camera - and it's enough if someone on this list is with the equipment.

I would be interested in hearing if people have any input on this - for instance:

- experience with Gefvert
- what this type of insurance should cover
- what it doesn't need to cover
- other companies that might be an option
- should an insurance also cover for downtime during repair and maintenance?
- should it cover for damages caused by the camera - or is that usually covered by the production company's own insurance?
- what about excess (självrisk)? - how much should it be to be ok?
- are there good and affordable options outside of Sweden that would be an option for me who lives in Stockholm?


See some of you tonight at Peter's!

Synd att du missade mötet Janne! Jag ville visa dig min Helmer :) Fast min har inget namn, står i vattenkylt rum, och består av 14st Quadcores :) (Såg att du klokt valde exakt samma CPU, Mobo och Minnen som jag!)

Det var kul att träffa alla! Jag ska försöka få ut allt testmaterial i helgen!

[Peter Karlsson]

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that Im wrapping up the "Stars on ice" billboard now. So I finally have time to look at the test results from the last red user get together!

Thanks everyone that showed up!

And Kevin.. That corn bread was awesome! :) Thanks alot! We did some Fajitas last weekend, and it really something else that the old flour ones.

Damn, I missed another fun Swedish get together!

Greetings from the Himalayas. Just finished the craziest shoot of my life with local Indian crew. So many things happened, one could write a novel on it.

Tip#1: If you are planning to shoot in India, bring at least all camera crew with you from Sweden. Tip#2: Don't let anyone wear bright orange clothes if there are bulls around. Tip#3: Keep your cables away from the local wild mouse in the nights.

Enjoy the pictures. Check out the improvised tripod on #39 after the locals forgot to bring one to the location.

See you all soon, Daniel.
