Travel insurance - camera and laptop only

I normally have my equipment covered on my household insurance, but unfortunately had to make a claim for a mishap while abroad last year. I am only allowed one ex-UK claim per 'insurance year' and so I need to cover my camera and laptop for an upcoming trip.
The best I have found so far is Eversure which is £128 for £5500 cover (His and hers cameras) on an annual policy. I have had a look at gadget cover but they are not geared towards older items (The oldest lens is 4 years old).
Does anyone have any other suggestions or company's to try before I buy this cover? I have looked for baggage only travel cover (I already have travel insurance in place, but it will not provide cover for a single item over £650, even though it can be upgraded to the required total cover amount). The highest value single item is £1200.
Thanks

I think I have resolved this - I have found two companies, E&L and Kamkit who both offer the cover I need on rolling 28 days policies, so I can manage this on two premiums of around £30 in total. The latter offers better new for old cover given the average age of the kit, and both cover the laptop as it is used for photographic purposes.0
