Peak Design’s Field Bracket packs a built-in finder tag

I am a clumsy person by nature. So clumsy, in fact, that I have AirTags dangling from nearly every camera I own. Have I left a camera in an Uber? Yes. On an airplane? Also yes. For me, these finder tags are non-negotiable for keeping my gear safe.

The trouble is, attaching a finder tag to a camera is always awkward. Right now, mine hang off my camera straps like a phone charm from the early 2000s. They look terrible, and they constantly get in the way when I am trying to focus on shooting. Peak Design believes it has a better answer with its new Field Bracket system, which launched today on Kickstarter starting at $150 for early birds.

The Peak Design Field Bracket is purpose-built to integrate a finder tag directly into your camera rig without the bulk. Instead of strapping a tag to a strap or clipping it to a bag, this bracket mounts securely to your camera’s tripod mount or accessory shoe. It holds the tag flush against the body, keeping it out of your hands and out of your shot. The design is clean and minimal, so you do not have to sacrifice aesthetics for security.

For anyone who has ever panicked searching for a misplaced camera bag or left a body behind in a rental car, this is a welcome upgrade. It solves a real problem for traveling photographers and videographers who rely on Apple’s Find My network or similar tracking services. The bracket is also compatible with Peak Design’s existing ecosystem of clips and plates, making it a natural addition for users already invested in their gear.

At $150, the early-bird price is not cheap, but for someone like me who has already lost thousands of dollars in camera equipment, it is a small price for peace of mind. The Field Bracket turns a necessary but ugly accessory into something that actually belongs on your camera.
