Insurance Canopy, a national provider of small business and vendor insurance solutions, 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 as part of their work, providing liability protection for bodily injury and property damage arising from drone use, as well as coverage for drones and related gear.
The add-ons can be incorporated into a single business insurance policy, eliminating the need for separate standalone coverage and simplifying risk management for drone operators. According to the company, this addresses common gaps in standard liability policies, which often exclude or limit coverage tied to aircraft. The expansion reflects the growing integration of drones into professional content creation, from real estate shoots to event coverage and commercial production.
Chris Van Leeuwen, Vice President of Professional Development at Insurance Canopy, emphasized the shift in how drones are used. "Drones have gone from being a specialized tool to an essential part of doing business," he said. "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."
Coverage is tailored for working professionals engaged in paid projects, where risk exposure differs from recreational flying. The policy structure accounts for real-world business use, helping operators manage risk as they scale their services. "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."
Insurance Canopy and FFI continue to prioritize accessible insurance for small business owners and independent operators, offering specialized protection without added complexity.
