Peace of Mind

I've always worried about leaving my photography equipment in the car or unattended just for a brief moment (example: during wedding jobs). It's a rough world we live in today and it never hurts to be safe, especially when you have thousands of dollars worth of equipment laying around. I've read countless stories about photographers getting their camera stolen. There was even a guy who left their camera in their trunk for a few minutes while he went to the restroom at a gas station, and his car got broken into in broad daylight. Apparently this happens a lot. So i searched the internet and found this:



It is a stainless steel mesh that gives you the ability to lock and leave your belongings. It is designed to cover and protect a variety of bags and packs from tampering, pilfering and theft. I actually bought one myself, because it's better safe than sorry. Pacsafe also has camera shoulder bags and camera straps that can be locked as well. The default strap that comes with cameras usually has the camera brand and type in big bold letters on the strap. You don't want to advertise your camera to potential theives! Sorry to sound like an infomercial, but I think this is useful equipment. You can find this at http://www.pacsafe.com/

With utdphoto gaining more popularity, I highly recommend finding ways to secure your equipment. Our times and locations are open to the public which creates opportunities for thieves. When on location, have at least one person watch our equipment.
