Insurance Canopy Expands Drone Coverage for Creative Professionals
Insurance Canopy's Full Frame Insurance program now offers drone liability and equipment coverage tailored for photographers and videographers, addressing common gaps in standard policies.
Insurance Canopy, a national provider of small business insurance, has announced an expansion of its Full Frame Insurance (FFI) program to include drone liability and drone equipment coverage. The new offering is designed for photographers, videographers, and other creative professionals who use drones in their work, providing protection for bodily injury, property damage, and equipment loss or damage.
The addition aims to simplify risk management by allowing professionals to add drone coverage onto a single business insurance policy, eliminating the need for separate standalone policies. According to the company, this addresses common gaps in standard liability policies that often exclude or limit coverage tied to aircraft and drone-related risks.
“Drones have gone from being a specialized tool to an essential part of doing business,” said Chris Van Leeuwen, Vice President of Professional Development at Insurance Canopy. “This expanded coverage reflects how photographers and videographers actually work today and gives them a better way to protect their business and the equipment they rely on.”
The coverage is specifically designed for working professionals using drones in paid projects, where risk exposure differs from recreational flying. This distinction ensures that policies align with real-world business use, covering scenarios such as real estate shoots, event coverage, and commercial production.
“Most professionals are focused on getting the shot, not worrying about everything that could go wrong with a drone,” Van Leeuwen added. “Whether the drone is damaged in a crash or causes third-party property damage, the costs can add up fast and create real business issues. Including this coverage in the same policy makes it easier for operators to protect their business and stay focused on the job.”
Drone use has become standard in content creation, yet many professionals operate without clear protection for accidents tied to drone activity. The new policy add-on helps close the gap between traditional liability coverage and the realities of drone-based work.
