This tripod plate hides an AirTag on your camera.

Instead of hiding an Apple AirTag in a lens cap which isn’t always attached to your camera, Elevation Lab’s new $19.99 TagVault stashes one inside of a carbon fiber composite tripod plate.

It also doesn’t permanently attach to your camera, but the plate is secured with a stainless steel crew requiring a T20 Torx screwdriver to remove it — something thieves probably don’t have immediate access to, giving you extra time to potentially retrieve your gear.

<em>It’s not immediately obvious that the TagVault tripod plate has an Apple AirTag hidden inside it.</em>
<em>The plate, made with a carbon fiber composite body, is compatible with many cameras including Sony, Canon, and Nikon models.</em>
