Thanks for that Chris, .. I have another tip. if you can, use an 'L' Bracket as this can make it more difficult for a thief to steal your lens from your camera body because it will make it more tricky to press the release button (especially if the thief has large fingers), it worked for me on my Sony A6500 in China, the thief only got away with the lens hood after bumping into me which was a lot cheaper to replace than the lens... Cheers,...
Another great tip for creators when in crowded areas. Thank you for sharing! Sad we’ve got to be so mindful of our surroundings when we just want to create.
Personally I would avoid Lowepro and Manfrotto for camera bags. It's pretty widely known that these companies primarily make camera bags, so any experienced thief is likely to see Lowepro et al as brands to target. Any brand that is known for making camera bags or equipment increases your risk. Benro and Vanguard are potentially risky too, though not as well known. I just use a generic backpack with a camera insert. Nobody would have any reason to think it contains a camera!
Hey Chris, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, currently I'm looking for more works, do you love to have a logo redesign for your channel's branding to have a memorable graphic based monogram logo to help your audience recognise and follow your channel easier? I would love to design a photography themed logo inspired by your direction for you! Let me know if you interested to make it happen! :-)
Step 6: Make your gear look ugly and worn out. Scuff it, scratch it, and and dent it up, put garish stickers and tape on your gear to make it look like it's held together with duct tape. Take some emery cloth to the housing and make it look really worn. You can do this without affecting the performace of the gear. On one hand, you will reduce the resale value...but on the other hand, this also means a thief won't get the resale value out of it either, so they'll likely not take the risk.

Honestly never thought to intentionally rough the gear up as a deterrent. That’s a great tip!
@@TheChrisPetry it's also helpful to obscure the brand and model whenever possible.
