Lenses and Flashes Included

Lenses and Flashes Included
In addition to the camera or camcorder, we also protect gear such as lenses and flashes from accidental damage (optional), which is very handy if you drop them because they are spendy to replace.

What if I dropped my camera into a pool?
We hope it's waterproof. Our Advanced Geek Squad Protection Plan with accidental damage from handling covers accidental spills but not submersion.
