Camera Finder Tag Vanishes Clumsy Straps

Peak Design has launched a new Field Bracket system on Kickstarter, aiming to solve the problem of bulky camera finder tag attachments. The system offers a discreet, integrated slot for the Beacon Finder Tag, which is compatible with both Apple's Find My network and Google's Find Hub. This dual compatibility ensures users can track their cameras regardless of their smartphone ecosystem. The tag itself is designed for durability, featuring IP67 water and dust resistance and a battery life of up to six months.

The Field Bracket serves multiple purposes beyond just housing the finder tag. It functions as an L-bracket for quick orientation changes on tripods, and includes options for accessories like hand grips, finger grips, and cheese plates. Notably, the bracket is designed to work with most ARCA-compatible tripods and retains compatibility with Peak Design's own capture clips and camera straps. The vertical attachment, called the Field Latch, utilizes a new tool-free locking system for easy accessory changes.

The Field Bracket is specifically molded for individual camera bodies, with initial support focused on newer models. Pricing for the bracket starts at $125 for early bird Kickstarter backers, with a bundle of all accessories available for $199. This launch provides photographers and videographers with a more streamlined and integrated solution for gear tracking and mounting.
