leicatraveller Posted June 23, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) hello i was thinking if there is some anti theft camera bag/strap for protecting my M especially when i m in travel for long time (especially when eating at restaurant when people leave bags under table or on chairs...) also it would be nice a bag with a sort of sensor that sound if someone stole (i.e. one part in your pocket and one in camera bag and when they separate for X meters it will sound) i think it will be very useful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted June 23, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2013 Not sure that's going to help. Once you realise your alarm is going off the thief is already away and running and you've not even got out of your seat! I would suggest taking care of your belongings. If you put a bag under your chair put the strap through one of the legs, or your own leg! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted June 23, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 23, 2013 If said perpetrator can run 906 feet per second they'll be successful. I load cartridges for 905. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgary Posted June 23, 2013 Share #5 Posted June 23, 2013 Could do with a strap with retractable razor blades or finger print recognition strap that gives out a high voltage shock to the thief Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted June 23, 2013 Share #6 Posted June 23, 2013 How about a bag with an airbag fitted and a remote control in your pocket to fire it. Thief is suddenly bowled over by an enormous balloon as he tries to make off - or even better gets stuck in a doorway. We know that the technology exists:D.

bill Posted June 23, 2013 Share #9 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I practice baritsu. Pacsafe products are for those nervous of their own shadow who worry about stepping outside their front door and who haven't considered the risk of being towed down the street by their "unbreakable" bag strap behind a moped...

CalArts 99 Posted June 24, 2013 Share #11 Posted June 24, 2013 Answer - proper insurance. I agree. I don't think that photo gear needs to be in all sorts of protective cases and bags and out of sight, etc.. It gets a bit extreme, imho. Plus I'd rather have it immediately at hand and make the image rather than hiding or disguising it from view because of any possibility of theft, etc.. (And I've photographed in extremely dangerous conditions where one wouldn't want to be even without cameras.) I do realize some of the concerns, but just use common sense and insure your gear. That way you'll have less chance of dying from stress about anything being stolen before anything is actually ever stolen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcoles Posted June 24, 2013 Share #14 Posted June 24, 2013 I use a PacSafe 200 bag. It offers a number of safety features that help make it more difficult for someone to steal your gear. Here is their link: Camsafe 200 Anti Theft Camera Bag This bag works great for my M9, several lenses and related gear and is easy to work from. I hope this helps.

gyoung Posted June 24, 2013 Share #15 Posted June 24, 2013 I've always carried cameras in (relatively) cheap bags, they don't attract so much attention as one with LEICA advertising on it Gerry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 24, 2013 Share #16 Posted June 24, 2013 I don't think that is of any interest to any opportunistic thief. They see a bag, grab it and find out about the contents later. If they want to fence it for drugs, they get 20 Euro for a camera, regardless of brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDFlood Posted June 25, 2013 Share #17 Posted June 25, 2013 You are looking for HipKey proximity and movement alarm. Works with iPhone. You would hide the little round disk in the bag. It works via Blutooth. You can use short distance so if someone grabs the bag it'll go off in when the bag gets 10 or 15 ft away. You can turn it on with you phone and off ... Or on the fob. The long distance alarm is about 150'. You could also turn on the motion sensor, so anyone that picks it up will have it go off right away. It's pretty much perfect for what you want it for.

South Bird Posted June 25, 2013 Share #19 Posted June 25, 2013 When you travel through crowded train stations like Firenze SNM it is nice to have a Pacsafe backpack so people have a hard time unzipping the pack when it is on your back. I carry my gear in an insert inside the Pacsafe backpack. I do not intend to prevent an armed face to face robbery, but rather to deter theft when in crowded places. You can also hook it onto a chair while you eat. Since I have to carry a pack, it adds a little security. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
