Why do photographers need drone insurance?
Drones deliver unique opportunities for creating visually stunning images and are now commonly used by professional photographers and video makers.
Being able to photograph or film from the air can provide a unique perspective on landscapes, properties, cities and events that just aren’t possible from the ground.
Whether you’re creating images for advertising or capturing those extra special shots for a wedding, drone photography can provide a new angle to your photography or videography business.
But did you know that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requires you to have third party liability insurance if you fly a drone for commercial purposes?
What if your drone is lost, damaged or stolen? If your drone is part of your essential kit, do you have the funds available to replace it – at short notice?
And what would you do if your drone was hi-jacked?
That’s as well as the risk of damage your drone could cause if it malfunctioned and it crashed causing damage to property or even people.
As a professional photographer or videographer offering drone as well as ground-based services, you need to make sure you have the right insurance cover in place.

What does drone insurance for photographers cover?
Drone insurance can be provided as an extension to your main insurance cover if you are a professional photographer or video maker who uses drones as part of your photography/video making offering.
Drone insurance from Aaduki provides an extension to ground-based photography insurance cover including:
- Public liability cover for third party incidents including personal injury and property damage
- Loss, damage or theft of your drone anywhere in the world
- Hi-jacking of your drone
Drone insurance is not available as a stand-alone policy or to amateur or hobbyist photographers. Your photography or videography business must also offer ground-based services – not purely drone photography.
It is important that you adhere to all of the Civil Aviation Authority’s rules and regulations which apply to you.
