How to take a camera when going out and how to prevent it from being stolen.

Recently, Qixi activity is about to start! Is it necessary to take photos during the activity? Some big scenes at night, we must bring our ultimate weapon. I don't know if you brought an expensive machine, but someone else stole it. Recently, Bian Xiao has often seen such news. It must be very bad to encounter such a thing. Let's see how to guard against theft!

Now thieves are becoming more and more rampant and have reached the point of robbery in broad daylight. There is a video on the Internet, which shows a Russian theft gang, first diverting tourists' attention, and one of the thieves unscrewed his camera while he was unprepared.

Which groups of people are easily targeted by thieves?

Old photographers, foreign tourists who take pictures, people who take pictures alone, people who bring a lot of equipment (because they can't catch up with thieves with heavy equipment) ...

... especially retired movie friends, are the key targets of those theft gangs.

How to guard against theft and robbery when shooting outside?

1, going out does not show wealth.

Many people have travel plans during the summer vacation. When you go to a strange place, you must remember not to put all your cash in the same pocket. Although Alipay and WeChat payment are quite popular in most parts of China, many scenic spots do not support electronic payment.

If you are abroad, you should be more careful not to put all your cash together, and try to bring less foreign currency with large denominations, because you can basically swipe your card wherever you can get large bills, just leave enough change.

You should also be careful when using a camera in public. Don't hang it all the time around your neck when not in use. It's better to take a camera bag with you, and it's better not to make public the vicissitudes of life.

When eating, don't put the camera on the table or chair, put it in your bag and put it where you can see it.

If you think the red logo of Leica is too eye-catching, you can temporarily stick it on with black tape. Don't underestimate those recidivists, they still know the goods.

2. Stay alert where people come and go.

Subway, bus station, tourist attractions and other places with particularly large passenger flow are especially favored by thieves. The eyes are full of tourists who seem to be tired of traveling, and they have no time to take care of the property around them. Isn't this a good time to start?

Carry your bag in front of you, hold your mobile phone in your hand, and put away your camera, so that thieves have no chance.

Put the camera in the bag.

3, with lock

Another cruel trick is to lock the zipper of the backpack. Locking is troublesome, but it is effective. Generally, thieves don't bother to find difficult targets. They may be shocked when they see your lock.

4. Stare at your camera.

The Russian theft gang mentioned earlier unloaded the tourists' shots in broad daylight, so when we go out to travel, don't think that everything will be fine with a camera around our neck.

Put your hand near the camera. If there is a thief, you can respond at the first time.

Of course, if possible, you can add a protective cover to the camera to avoid being stolen by thieves.

5. Try to travel together.

Recently, there are many cinematographers who have taken flowers in Orson Park, because Junfeng physical store is located in Orson Park, and Bian Xiao is familiar with this place, so I remind cinematographers to travel together as much as possible, because Orson Park is large in area and has many flat lands, and thieves really can't catch up (the same is true for other outdoor places);

In June and July, many movie friends also went to Orson Sunflower Garden to shoot.

If you shoot alone, you can choose early morning or after 5 pm. At this time, there are many people running in the park. If you really encounter a robbery, you can also ask people running around to help catch the thief.

6. Again, keep a low profile.

Although you should wear beautiful clothes when traveling, don't make yourself look too ostentatious, especially remind female film friends that expensive jewelry, watches and the like can be put away temporarily. However, don't be completely influenced by the concept of "anti-theft". Being happy is the most important thing when you are away from home.

This little brother, you are keeping a low profile, but will you really not be mistaken for a thief by dressing like this?

When you go out to shoot, you should guard against people, especially when the equipment is stolen during the trip. The whole trip is boring.
