they can't steal your camera but this lock would not prevent anyone from removing the card and then destroying camera.

This is a nice lock. The flexible strap was nice as my bags zipper handles were close together and it was tough to fit a regular lock.  Don't expect these locks to make your bag impenetrable. They are a deterrent and won't turn your bag into Fort Knox.

This worked for on security camera but not for the second camera I tried connecting.

A good, servicable 4-digit combination lock, but it's not the lock in the picture and DEFINITELY not TSA-approved.  Watch out for substitutes!

This weekend a neighbor's friend took my keys.  Fearful that they would attempt to enter, I called a locksmith to let me inside so I could lock the Night watch until I could replace the deadbolt the following day.  Much to my dismay (and comfort) the locksmith was unable to gain entry either.  Apparently this really IS a bump-proof and pick-proof lock.  That being said, make sure someone you trust has your spare key :)

Just spins, never locks onto the lens. Started the return, they just said keep it. They don't want it wither.

I think one of the issues with many of the reviews here is the fact that this lock is made for backpacks and luggage. It is meant to be used to secure zippers. I have several of these and have found that they work well when traveling with a backpack.

This lock has a security issue, you can remove the pin very easy to make it unlock that us only if somehow you can reach your fingers to other side of door.

With two fingers I can loosen the head lock and move the camera in ANY direction to frame the shot.
A two finger twist and the camera is locked in position.
The camera doesn't move when the lock is secured...ie the framing doesn't change when locked into position,
The camera release lock mechanism makes accidental release of the camera near impossible.

Love it!

As other's point out it's not perfect and won't work in every application.  I'm sure a few solid whacks with a hammer might break it but it certainly would slow down a thief and adds some peace of mind.

Mine just got stolen, in broad daylight. There's no way to actually secure this product. It needs a locking mechanism.

I can still open my gym locker even with this lock in place...hoping it will at least act as a deterrent so that a potential thief sees it and moves on to an easier target.

I received my Trail Camera lock and mount with steel band. My trail cam was stolen last year so I had been looking for a product that would prevent it from happening again this year. I happened to find this product. A 48-inch steel band with locking features? Please, and Thank you.

In the package, you will find the trail camera lock and an L-shaped key for the locking device. The banding is 48 inches long so that it will fit on many trees. It fit the tree my trail cam was already on, so I didn't even have to change tress.

To install the Trail camera lock, you just replace the currently installed nylon with the new steel banding. Wrap the new steel banding around the tree and back into the block of the lock. Take the included key and twist tight until it doesn't move. I tightened mine as tight as I could so even if a thief brought a cutting device it would be hard to get behind the banding to cut.

I would recommend this trail camera lock to anyone with a trail camera. I was so upset last year because a thief, not one stole my cam, but the photos of the 12 point buck I had been after. The thief then knew when and where to be to get my trophy. I have not found any cons to this product, but I will update my review if I ever find any.

I received this Trail Camera lock and mount with steel band at a discount or for free with the purpose of testing it out. In return, I could give an honest and unbiased review based on my Personal experience with the product. The expressed opinions here are of my own and are not under the influence in any way.

the locks work fine, they would not work for my application, but I will probably find another use for them
