Video Camera Equipment Insurance
What is video camera equipment insurance?
Whether you're a professional filmmaker, a passionate vlogger, or a budding independent videographer, investing in high-grade video camera equipment requires a substantial financial investment. Video camera equipment insurance serves to protect that investment, being there in case your equipment is damaged or lost in a covered incident.
Video camera equipment insurance provides specialized coverage for video cameras and their associated gear. Policies cover different types of video equipment, and shield against an array of potential threats.
Who should consider purchasing video camera gear insurance?
Most people and businesses that have substantial video recording equipment should carry video camera gear insurance. Not carrying the right insurance can result in large losses if something happens.
Some examples of the people and businesses that commonly purchase courage include:
- Professional videographers and filmmakers
- Independent and student filmmakers
- YouTube creators and vloggers
- Multimedia production companies
- Advertising studios
- Film schools
- Content Creators
Many of these people and businesses have other insurance policy needs too, but video gear equipment insurance is often still the best way to insure cameras. If there's uncertainty as to whether one policy or another is better suited for protecting cameras and their accessories, an insurance agent who specializes in this coverage can help determine whether a video camera policy or another option is better.

Does homeowners or renters insurance cover video camera equipment?
While homeowners or renters insurance might offer limited coverage for less expensive equipment used non-professionally, they often fall short when it comes to covering high-end gear and professionally used equipment. Most homeowners and renters policies will exclude equipment that's specifically used for professional work.
For these reasons, a dedicated video camera equipment policy is often needed when insuring high-end and/or professional equipment.
Do video camera equipment policies protect gear during travel?
Most video camera policies provide coverage beyond the confines of a studio, extending protections when equipment is transported or used on location.
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 video camera equipment?
The cost to insure video camera equipment primarily hinges on the overall value of the equipment. Naturally, higher-value equipment generally commands a higher insurance premium. Other factors such as the customer’s selected policy deductibles may impact the cost.
Obtaining a customized insurance quote is the best way to find out how much insuring specific equipment will be.
