What is photography equipment insurance?
Whether you're a dedicated professional or an impassioned hobbyist, your photography gear is a crucial part of your work. It's often also an expensive part of getting into the field.

If there's any uncertainty as to whether a particular piece of equipment is covered, photographers can check the policy's coverages with an insurance agent well-versed in photography gear insurance.
Do photography equipment policies protect against accidental damage?
Our photography equipment policies include protection against accidental damage. This is an especially important protection to consider if cameras are used in non-studio settings, where they're more likely to be bumped or otherwise damaged. It's also good to consider even if working in a studio.
Do photography equipment policies cover gear when traveling overseas?
Our policies include worldwide coverage, with the exception of Countries currently under sanctions by the US State Department.
How much does it cost to insure cameras and accessories?
The premiums for photography gear insurance are influenced by several factors, so the cost of insuring cameras and accessories can vary. The primary factor influencing premiums is the value of the photography equipment that's being insured, although this isn't the only detail that affects premiums.
Even with varying costs, many photographers are pleasantly surprised to find that insurance is usually quite affordable. A policy might provide coverage for thousands of dollars worth of equipment for an annual premium of just a few hundred dollars.
