I just returned from a trip to southern Europe. In Rome's central train station we had an uncomfortable experience. We arrived at our platform with our luggage about 9:30 AM for an 11:30 departure, and were the only people on our platform. Two young men ran across tracks to our platform, gesturing for me to accompany them into the tunnel to see the train schedule. I, of course, did not follow, but my wife was concerned that it was my DSLR camera which attracted the attention. During this 3-week trip, my camera was constantly ready on a Blackrapid Sport harness. My question is, do you hide your camera in "risky" situations? If so, how do you do that? I don't bring my camera bag on air trips, where I only carry my camera + walking-around lens because it's meant to hold camera + three lenses, and would still advertise the presence of an expensive camera. What other steps do you take to feel secure with your camera? I don't think you can successfully hide a camera and actually use it. At least that's the philosophy I'll use when I visit Italy in September. I plan on using a security camera strap and a bag that's not so easily stolen. I think the best idea is to just be careful and don't fall for stupid ploys, like going into a train tunnel. Does the black rapid strap have any security features, like cur-proof cables embedded in the strap? No -- PeterN |
