Photographer insurance guide
Videographer insurance
Videographers carry more gear, more crew, and more location risk than most still photographers.
Coverages
- Equipment for cameras, gimbals, audio, and lighting
- Rented equipment
- General liability for locations and crowds
- Professional liability for deliverables
- Workers' compensation for crew
Production risks
Cables, stands, and lighting rigs in public spaces create trip and tip-over hazards. Use sandbags, cable ramps, and spotters, and get permits where required.

Frequently asked questions
Is video gear covered the same as photo gear?
Yes, under an equipment floater, though higher-value cinema packages may need higher limits and scheduling.
Do I need production insurance for small shoots?
Many small shoots are handled with general liability, equipment, and professional liability; larger productions may need a short-term production package.
Are drones covered?
Drones usually need aviation liability and hull coverage separate from standard policies.
