Check out my AirTag First Impressions video, now live! AirTag + Belkin Holders - First Impressions & Setup! th-cam.com/video/GAkr5op2R1M/w-d-xo.html What’s up people? Maybe I’m overthinking some of this, but let me know how you’re going to use your AirTags down below!
I work as a baggage handler for a major airline. Please put it inside your luggage. Things get torn off outside the bag. Rollers, getting caught on the wheels of other bags. As for a backpack. Do the same. Hopefully you won’t be away too long from your bag and will have time to track it down quickly. I’m speaking as someone who left their phone on the sink in the Charlotte airport. I went back for it immediately and it was gone. As soon as it started pinging, it was ditched in the trash a few gates away.
the best way is to hide one inside the bag, AND attach one as a decoy on the outside. then you get the best of both worlds, the good guy will find you very easily with the decoy tag, and the bad guy will still be tracked after he thought he is safe cuz he has thrown away the decoy
Haha right on! That gives me an idea... maybe someone should 3D print a fake AirTag to serve as the external one. That way you don't have to waste a real AirTag!
Maybe both? One on the outside of the bag, hoping that if you simply leave it somewhere, and someone finds it, they'll try to contact you. Another hidden inside, so that if it's stolen, and the one on the outside is simply discarded, the inner one might be overlooked by the thief, and you may still be able to track it down. Yes, that means the cost of two, but if the bag and its contents are super valuable, this may be worth the expense of multiple AirTags.
Am attaching mine to a cheap keyring accessory from Amazon 😂 will probably keep the tile as well for double chances of finding my keys haha cool video bro! PS.: Imagine buying the $450 accessory and hide it 😂
Keep up the hustle and you will have many thousands of followers soon my friend. I wish you great success in your TH-cam career. May the force be with you.
Alsoooo last comment I swear, Hanging an AirTag on the outside bag just kinda might give the user a special feel out in public because the possess an Apple product and it has just been released. What I feel is that the larger mass of AirTag users just have it for the 'APPLE FLEX' kinda thing rather than to actually use it. Just my opinion, Tell me if I'm wrong please....
I'm on the fence because that lost feature with the NFC is nice but keeping it the bag means it's less of an "I got important stuff in here, steal it" beacon
Loving your content. I am probably like you, where you would hope that humanity wants to do the right thing and find the true owner of the lost items 😀. Hey there from Australia
*Is the pairing lock always on or only in lost mode? Because you wouldn't want someone to snatch your airtag and pair it to their own phone and use it for themselves.*
It’s tad unclear from what I’ve read/seen. I *think* the Pairing Lock is always active, just like Apple’s similar Activation Lock. Will update if I find out different. Thanks for watching!
Hey there! When I started last year, I was using a Sony ZV-1. A few videos ago, I switched to a Sony A7C, paired with a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. The mic I’m using is the Deity D3 Pro. Absolutely love this setup! Got a few affiliate links for these in the description if you want to check them out.
is the belkin kingring any good i know is the only cheap one that protects the airtag from getting scratch the apple brand doesnt protect it from scratches is only for looks?
This all comes down to changing human behavior. Apple is betting on 'goodness' part of humans. We can only hope everybody will do the needful and return the contents of the bag. In my country, an airtag will probably cost more than LKR 10k, which is a significant amount to spend in the first place. So there's that as well.
Great points. That sounds like it works out to $50 USD ($20 more than the MSRP here). Also makes me wonder if the $300+ Hermès tags will be a target themselves. 😝
If someone wants to steal from you, bad enough, they will. But if a casual bad-actor sees an airtag(and knows what it is) they will probably target something easier to steal. IMHO

Do both 🤘😎
One for honest finders and one for dishonest finders. 🎒
Not a bad idea, especially for high-value items! Thanks for stopping by.

Oh man, I think you’ve convinced me. These are all great points and I really appreciate you sharing your experience. 👊🏽

For sure. This is solid strategy if it’s something super important or expensive. Thanks for sharing your take!

What’s up Alex? Not a bad idea of doubling up on trackers. You mean you didn’t buy 10 of the Hermès loops? 🤣 Thanks for stopping by, bro!

Thanks so much for your kind words! And may the force be with you. 😄

Some definitely like to show off their new gadgets, and I’m sure Apple would rather they be on display than at the bottom of a bag. 😅
I have that air tag in my child’s backpack
Nice! Yeah, I seem to have defaulted to placing them inside my bags as well.
Put it on the camera. If I’m stealing it I’m stealing the camera n not keeping the bag lol
Definitely inside. Don't wanna tempt humanity. Lol.

Yep, feeling kinda the same. And it’ll be interesting to surely see a bunch of tags in one place once that’s safe again (e.g. at Disneyland).
Boutta use airtags for finding where i put the last lego piece in my lego set
For real! I couldn’t find where I left my iced coffee the other day and my first instinct was to ping it. 😅

Thanks man, I appreciate your support and positivity! Greetings from all the way in California.

Dude, what camera and mic do you use?

I don’t think the Belkin ones are shipping out until this week, so we’ll see. I’ll definitely include them in my follow up vid!

@@OneTechMind Exactly. :D

I don’t see airtags as anti-theft devices, but as anti “where the hell did I put it” devices
Good points. AirTags may make it *marginally* easier to recover stolen goods, but the marketing definitely emphasizes the “lost” aspect.
Apple Air Tags are FABOlicious. Tags you're IT. mobeleash
