Insurance for amateur videographers
If you just enjoy being an amateur videographer and don’t earn any money from it, you might not think about needing insurance.
But even if you don’t get paid for your filming, you still face the risk of your videography equipment being stolen or damaged. Do you have the funds to replace it?
And whilst you might not be paid for your work and therefore not operating as a professional, you could still be held personally liable for damage or bodily injury to a third party that occur as a result of your actions as an amateur video maker. For example, if someone were to trip over your equipment bags and suffered an injury.
