"Really easy & just what I needed."

Really easy & just what I needed now that I’ve upgraded my gear and need to have that peace of mind. Hopefully, I won’t need to submit a claim in the future, but if I do, I hope it goes as well as the purchasing did.

"Great, fast insurance at a perfect price."

Great, fast insurance at a perfect price. We work and shoot weddins internationally so it was super convenient to have fast, easy coverage for the few weddings that we had in the states this year. There were a couple of changes that I needed to make after purchasing a single-day policy and their customer support was super helpful and fast. Thank you, Full Frame!

An item is defined as one or more objects that were included together at the time of purchase. For example, if you purchased a camera body that came with a camera lens, both the body and the lens would be considered one item. However, if the camera body did not come with a lens, and you had to purchase a lens separately, each object would be considered as its own individual item.

FFI’s equipment coverage is based on a type of policy called Tools & Equipment Insurance (sometimes referred to as “Inland Marine”). This means the kinds of equipment we insure are limited to the specific tools you rely on to produce the final product of your business. These tools must also be mobile in nature, as in, equipment that is regularly transported as part of your work. Things like your camera, portable hard drives, mobile lighting, microphones, and even certain computers are all eligible for coverage. FFI will NOT insure things like:

-Permanently installed studio lighting, furniture, or props.
-Things used to help you gain access to a shooting location. (Camping equipment, climbing gear, outdoor apparel, etc.)
-Your car or other means of transportation.
-A laptop or electronics that aren’t primarily used for business purposes.
-Anything that is contraband or in the course of illegal transport.

FFI also does not offer coverage for drones at this time as high loss probability and certain FAA regulations make them difficult to insure.
