You are very welcome. Have a great Memorial Day!

Hello,

A couple things to look at here before your trip date approaches:

1) Check to see if your homeowners policy covers a scenario if your equipment were to be stolen. Ask if you can add the replacement value of your equipment to your policy.
2) Strictly contact a camera insurance company to have the value of your equipment insured. There are forums on this site that talk about such companies.
3) Rent a loaner camera and take out their lost/stolen insurance.
4) Both you and your Daughter should consider purchasing some kind of pepper spray. I would recommend the brand POM. Im not sure if its legal to use there. Check online to see if you can obtain that information. As well Check with your airline carrier to see if you can even pack it into your checked bag.
5) Don't fall prey to your surroundings by playing music on earphones or headphones.
6) I would also consider buying this SABRE self-defense safety loud dual siren(on Amazon),or a similar device of your choice that fits your budget.
7) Don't leave any gear in plain sight on seats of your rental car!
8) Have a wonderful safe trip and exercise common sense especially when in foreign territory. You as well should always do things in a group setting to keep the predators away.. Now get out there and fire away!

I bought this meter a couple years ago and could never figure out how to use it. Overwhelmed with frustration i placed it back in the bag and have never tried it again. I reached out to Manfrotto who owns this division of Gossen and did not get any help from their Saddle River NJ office. I searched on YouTube for videos but came up empty. Does anyone own/use this meter? Anyone have informative videos/directions on how to operate this? I initially paid $800.00 for this and it has since come down in price to $630.00 now. Any help with anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....David

Just got a quote from NJ State Farm,For $80,000.00 of personal property,and 300,000 personal liability,a $500.00 deductible for $126.00 a year. It is replacement value, and you do not need the serial numbers of your equipment. That is what I was told by the agent.
