Er, WHAT insurance companies? Not the airlines...they deny ANY AND ALL responsibility if you get something stolen. How do you prove it was there in the first place? The ONLY protection you had WAS to be able to lock your check-in bags. And...what good does insurance do if you needed the gear then and there? I think keeping with you as carry-on, what you NEED to make sure gets there, is paramount, and carrying really a minimum of gear as well. I like the idea of making sure to bring the original baseplate, that is a great suggestion. Another thing that I believe would help quite a bit is if the "trigger" were black, instead of chrome...it would draw less attention to it.
