Insurance Canopy Expands Coverage to Include Drone Liability and Equipment Protection for Creative Professionals

Insurance Canopy has expanded its Full Frame Insurance program to include drone liability and equipment coverage specifically for photographers, videographers, and other creative professionals who use drones in their work. The new offering provides liability protection for bodily injury and property damage arising from drone operations, along with equipment coverage for drones and related gear. Professionals can now add both types of protection onto a single business insurance policy, eliminating the need for separate standalone coverage and simplifying how drone risks are managed.

Drone use has become standard in content creation across real estate, event coverage, and commercial production, yet many professionals operate without clear protection for accidents tied to drone activity. This policy add-on is designed for working professionals using drones in paid projects, aligning coverage with real-world business use rather than hobbyist applications. According to Chris Van Leeuwen, Vice President of Professional Development, drones have evolved from specialized tools to essential business assets, making this expanded coverage crucial for modern creative work.

The expansion addresses a significant gap in standard liability policies, which frequently exclude or limit coverage related to aircraft. Full Frame Insurance's structure provides protection directly tied to drone operations, helping professionals manage risk as they scale their services. Van Leeuwen noted that professionals are typically focused on capturing content rather than worrying about potential drone mishaps, but costs from equipment damage or third-party property damage can accumulate quickly and create serious business challenges.

Insurance Canopy continues its focus on accessible insurance for small business owners and independent operators, offering specialized protection without added complexity. For additional details about the drone coverage options, visit https://www.fullframeinsurance.com/.
