ALWAYS insure your camera gear with your air carrier, and quote the "buy it
or it's equivalent new" price. Those who thieve prefer to steal that which
does not leave a paper trail. The best value of this type of insurance is
it's deterrent value. I use Pelican cases. High bulk but the best
protection.

Never - ever - put anything of obvious value in checked luggage.
Carrying the equipment on the plane is a PITA, but it's less of a nuisance
than arriving at the destination and finding that the camera etc was
stolen.
