New York, NY—Gary Fong launched its GearGuard line of camera and equipment security devices to provide photographers with a theft prevention system for their gear.
The flagship products are the GearGuard Camera Body Lock and the GearGuard Bag Lock, both of which are designed to safeguard a camera from the snatch-and-grab threat faced by photographers.
“For years, photographers have had serious concerns about the vulnerability of their equipment to theft while they’re busy shooting an event or working with customers, and we all have horror stories about expensive gear turning up missing. Whether you measure the value of your camera and gear in hundreds or thousands, our compact GearGuard products will ensure safe travel and storage at an affordable price,” said Gary Fong, renowned photographer and CEO of Gary Fong, Inc. “With the launch of our GearGuard line, photographers can safely devote their full attention to their craft rather than continually worrying about their costly equipment.”
With the GearGuard camera body lock in place, the camera can be secured to any fixed object to grant photographers the freedom to focus on the moment at hand, rather than worry about equipment disappearing. Constructed of an impervious plastic compound, the twin-plate design provides an
anchoring point through which the GearGuard security cable is threaded and affixed to any anchor point using the GearGuard combination lock. The camera body lock attaches to the camera’s tripod mount and can remain attached during shooting without interfering with the photographer’s process. The screw, which attaches the lock to the camera body, has a threaded port, enabling the camera to maintain full compatibility with a tripod, ball head or quick-release plate.
The GearGuard Bag Lock also helps prevent roaming hands from stealing by breaching a camera bag and restricting access to the bag’s quick-release buckles. This two-piece clip slides together over the buckle and is fitted with a combination lock, much like the camera body lock, enabling a photographer to pass through congested areas without concern for theft. Alternatively, users can leave their bags tethered to a permanent anchor using the security cable.
The GearGuard camera body lock and bag lock (sold as a set of two units) are available for $9.95 MAP. The combination lock and 36-inch steel security cable are sold separately and are also available for $9.95 MAP.
