Probably about time camera companies start actually installing some sort of tracking software into the cameras directly, especially the ones we spend thousands on! Rather than depending on an AirTag that can removed almost immediately and easily if known and found! Nonetheless, great video as always 🤗

@mondobytes Жыл бұрын

Tracking software is useless without internet connectivity. That’s why AirTags work great because they use iPhone connections around to ping it’s location. Camera companies would need to add cellular data which is very expensive and consumers won’t want to pay more for a camera + monthly service to be connected to the internet

There are other trackers much better for theft than AirTags that work just as well without notifying the thief

Camera companies should be doing a much better job with security. No one steals an iPhone because they are worthless to thieves when owner reports it stolen. Cameras and lenses should be no different. If they did that, they would be a LOT less attractive to thieves.

we had some rogue security company at an event this summer try to heist all the camera gear. they got away wtih one of the blackmagics, mfs. this airtag mount still ain't it tho. we need a good one, so dropping this note here for you to use your partnerships with someone to get a better one engineered. on the komodo i tried both the smallrig, and tilta cages. the titla is on it now, which i have my own gripes about the mounts. i have both smallrig products, and neither really make it easy to mount to the cage on either the komodo or the bmpcc in an either inconspicuous way, or a way that doesn't obstruct a handle, a battery door, a memory card door, etc. we need one that mounts into a slim profile baseplate for cinema cameras so we can leave them attached permanently. the gdu baseplate for the komodo would be something i'd like to see a tag mount built into. the lens cap ones work until you take the lens caps off. then what? it's only good if it gets stolen while it's in the case? i feel like no one really thought these out the entire way thru. i have one of the round ones mounted to one of the only points i could attach to on my komodo cage, and after a few hours of shooting my hands were actually bruised from where the other holder rested. i'm at a loss and frustrated. i don't want the tag off that camera ever. but if anyone reading this has a better 3d printed design, i'm all for buying one at even a bit higher price point as long as it makes sense.

Yup and when they can’t figure out what’s tracking them inside the bag because it’s hidden they’ll most likely drop it

Well unless they watched this video then they will know where to look for this airtag 😅 Also camera thieves (Who knows a bit about cameras) know that the cops will take sometime to coming for them so they know they have time to look

@SaintProductions1 Жыл бұрын

I love the info BUT… Info like this should be in private film/ facebook/ camera group forums only (In DM’s only lol). It’s great that the information is getting out there, but until camera manufactures start putting trackers into the cameras themselves, I feel like we will always be targeted. Any thief can run across this video BUT yes I know most criminals won’t take the time to do research they are just focusing on grab and dash.

One thing I forgot to mention is that even if a thief knows about it, the minute it leaves your surroundings you get a notification on your phone alerting you. So it would be very difficult for someone to run off and take them off because it happens in a matter of seconds

Unfortunately apple hates the idea that airtags can help retrieve stolen goods so it will alert the thief in every way it can that there is a airtag following him after just a couple minutes

@mondobytes Жыл бұрын

Which is great because when they can’t figure out what’s taking then they’ll leave it or won’t have enough time to remove it

@@mondobytes that is a fair point, i just hate the way airtags can’t shut up. The ones i have attached to keys i dont use often even schime each and every time i grab the keys and only my phone in close aproximetry..

@robertdouble559 Жыл бұрын

That's because Apple don't want stalkers to use them for nefarious purposes. I think safety measure that should absolutely take priority over it's use as an anti theft device.

I did it to get my iPhone. It ended up in the ghetto but I went to a local police station first and followed the cop there. Cop was smart and played a mind trick on the 3 dorks while they were in the apartment and one was stupid enough to open his mouth. This was in Los Angeles south central area where you wont see a white person. So it is possible but go with a cop.
