Quick Tip: An ID Tag for Your Camera
Here’s a quick and easy tip that could pay for itself a thousand times over.
While at a recent Photwalking Utah event, I noticed that photographer Ann Torrence had a small ID tag attached to her camera. When I asked her about it, she told me that it was a tag designed to put the owner information on pet collars in case the animal is lost. I immediately thought “What a great idea!”.
I made a trip to my local PETCO store and used their machine to have a tag made for each of my cameras. I opted for the smallest version (about the size of a penny) and it is completely out of the way on the camera body. The total cost to label my gear: $12.
Now, let’s just hope that if my camera is ever lost that the person who finds it is honest (fingers crossed).
