If you operate a UAV, getting insurance is definitely a must! When choosing a policy, make sure you are covered for both the hull (the drone) and the payload (the camera or other accessories affixed to the drone.) Also, some drone policies only offer General Liability coverage in case you injure a bystander or damage private property with the drone, but it may not necessarily cover damage to your drone, camera or accessories.

Do you have a shoot that involves filming on a boat or another type of watercraft? If so, make sure to check if the boat needs to be insured. You may need to purchase a separate Movie Boat policy in addition to your production policy. Also, be sure that your camera/equipment is covered when you’re using it on a boat. The last thing you need would be a water damage exclusion on your policy!

That’s one of the biggest misconceptions we hear. Your vehicle’s contents are typically excluded from your personal auto policy. Remember, your personal auto policy is only meant to cover damage to your vehicle or even theft of your vehicle, but you can bet that the camera that was stolen from your car won’t be covered.
