Twitchly Posted September 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) I posted this question over in the photography forum, but it doesn’t get much action. I plan to bring my small point-and-shoot mirrorless camera (Canon G1X III) on our cruise. I’m looking for a crossbody case for it that has some anti-theft features. Any ideas? If you bring a camera beyond just your phone, how do you carry it to discourage thieves? What case do you use?

I have a small case for my point and shoot that has a strong loop on the back that I pass my belt through when I'm out. Easy to unzip the case and pull the camera, hard for someone to swipe the whole thing. Not bulletproof, but I've never experienced a problem. 🍺🥌 Edited September 30, 2021 by CurlerRob Photo attachment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duquephart Posted September 30, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Peak Design makes a very nice hand strap for the "keep it ready" types. https://www.peakdesign.com/collections/straps/products/clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I was looking for something like a safer camera bag too and looked at the cross body bags. One of these might work for a camera: Crossbody Bags – Pacsafe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted October 2, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I would suggest a bag from PacSafe that can be worn like you are looking for. And I would suggest Peak Designs "Cuff" for your mirrorless camera. I have both the Cuff that I use with my Sony A6500/A6400/A6000 mirrorless bodies, and the Clutch that I used when I shot with the larger DSLR cameras I use to own. IMHO the Clutch is too bulky to use with a mirrorless camera, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchly Posted October 2, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Great suggestions, thanks, everyone. Just got the PacSafe Metrosafe LS100, and I think it’s going to work well. https://pacsafe.com/collections/metrosafe-ls-classics/products/metrosafe-ls100-anti-theft-crossbody-bag?variant=40891427520712 It won’t win any beauty awards, but it’s probably more important that it be unobtrusive. (I bought the black version instead of the gray, which I thought was prettier but more noticeable.) It’s also a little larger than I actually need, but definitely not a large bag overall. And the main section is padded, which is ideal for my camera. I also bought the cuff from Peak Design. I use their camera straps and think they’re fantastic. The cuff seems like a great idea. And it will work with my Nikon Z7, too. So that’s taken care of! Now to find a good travel wallet for DH … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get a lot of use out of it and it definitely feels secure whether it's across your body, around your waist or around a chair leg. As far as a travel wallet goes, DH got a nice one from CAA (AAA in the States) a few years ago, but it doesn't have RFID so he will be on the hunt for another soon. Any assistance there would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
