I don't see how this huge tracker would help with the stolen camera gear. At least an airtag is small enough, you can probably glue it to the bottom of the camera, paint it black.

It is huge compared to an AirTag, but as somebody who doesn’t know much about cameras, if I stole a photographer’s stuff and something like that was in there, I’d probably not think too much about it. It is a black rectangle. Professionals have countless black rectangles that I don’t understand.

If they wanted to be really clever, they could easily find space to disguise it as a usb hard drive or something (I mean they could literally stick a USB hard drive in the thing, they are so tiny nowadays).
