After having $10k+ of camera gear stolen, we set our to make the best AirTag mount for cameras. We wanted it to be very discreet and something you never needed to take off. After many design iterations, tool changes, testing exotic materials, drop testing with old camera bodies - we have TagVault Camera Mount for AirTag. Oh, and it is freaking gorgeous. We CNC machined an oversize tripod screw on our Swiss lathe. And the body is made from carbon fiber reinforced composite. T20 Security Torx driver included. Compatible with all Arca-Swiss geometry tripods. We use it everyday in our photo studio. It is compatible with most cameras including: Sony A7 series, A6 Series, Canon EOS & RF, Nikon DSLRs and more. It works on most smaller cameras, just check that the battery door is at least 32mm/1.25" from the center of tripod mounting point, so you can open the door when installed. It's the cheapest one-time insurance you can buy. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4gW8dzM
With the popularity of our TagVault Surface Mount for AirTag, we wanted another option that was just as durable, waterproof, and secure - but with a more minimal industrial design. So we designed TagVault Surface Aero. It will look great on your motorcycle and even more discrete. Mounts in seconds with strong 3M adhesive. IP68 waterproof, with a new patent pending hidden gasket. Sleek lines with an ultra low-profile It's the best one time insurance you can buy. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3EMsQ4c
We wanted to make a better braided steel AirTag mount - more compact, stronger, really well made. So we fired up our Swiss lathe and machined a custom oversized screw that keeps it secure and looks awesome. It is T10 Torx and comes with an included driver. There is an inner patent-pending gasket that keeps AirTag water tight. The braided steel loop is strong and has the perfect amount of flex. And the body is also more compact than any other braided steel AirTag mount, manufactured with an extremely strong and tough glass filled polycarbonate composite.

My camera bag with $10k of gear was stolen from my car. When I saw the broken glass and empty backseat, I immediately pulled up FindMy to track the thief - only to find that its last location was my office 3 months ago... because I hadn't changed the AirTag's battery. It was a terrible feeling on top of a worse one. That is why we designed TimeCapsule - it gives you a whopping decade of power so you don't have to remember to replace the battery annually. It's especially nice for folks like us with a lot of AirTags to manage. Just discard the AirTag's back plate and CR2032 coin cell battery, set AirTag on the contacts in TimeCapsule, add 2 AA batteries (we recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium), then screw her shut. Now you've got 14X more power capacity. It's also fully waterproof so it stays powered in any environment. And no expense spared construction. A fiber reinforced composite body with premium CNC machined screws. Great for long-term storage like an RV or a boat. And a must have for anything of high-value. It may be the most valuable product we've ever made. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/49MY4Dt
We wanted an ultra-secure AirTag case that could be mounted to anything. Easy to change AirTags battery. Waterproof. Robust. And discreet. So we designed TagVault Universal Mount for AirTag. It has mounting holes for screws, rivets, and slots for zip ties. Or just epoxy it down. IP69 waterproof It opens the same way TagVault Security mount does and the key is included. It is extremely tamper-proof and low-profile. It works great!

Conversations on the Traction Heroes podcast are proving highly relevant. To wit, episode 7 delves into how the questions we ask ourselves influence our ability to act skillfully. This came up in the context of dealing with uncertainty. Specifically, Harry brought to the conversation the following fragment from Rich Diviney’s book Masters of Uncertainty: To remain grounded in the sphere of what you know and control, cultivate a habit of asking yourself better questions. The brain operates with a question-answer mechanism: it continuously assesses the surroundings with questions and then conjures answers. This typically happens subliminally and instantly, faster than you can notice. You can, however, participate consciously in this process and influence your thoughts and feelings by introducing your own questions. When you introduce a question into conscious thought, the mind is compelled to come up with answers. The problem is that it’s all too common to default to reactive, negative, and sometimes emotion-laden questions such as “Why am I so bad at this?” or “Why can’t I succeed?” Your brain will immediately begin to give you answers to these—yet the answers will not lead to enlightenment. Rather, they will spiral you into further negativity and anxiety. Masters of Uncertainty steer their thoughts with better, more effective questions — questions that center on what they can ascertain and influence. Well aware that knowledge morphs into power, they prime their minds with inquiries like “What do I know? What can I control?” The brain can’t help but answer these questions in ways that put you at the helm. These are the inquiries that empower and hone your focus on traversing uncertainty, not succumbing to it. I hadn’t heard of Masters of Uncertainty before, but I’m reading it and hope to do a book notes post soon. Working with uncertainty is especially relevant now, given the changes rocking global markets. At least part of the secret to navigating turbulence is learning to keep your cool. It’s not a new idea (the Stoics and Buddhists said this centuries ago) but it’s worth revisiting — and internalizing. Traction Heroes ep. 7: Better Questions
