Peak Design 推出模块化 Field Bracket，内置追踪器标签
I am a very clumsy man. So clumsy, that I have AirTags hanging off practically every camera I own. Have I left my camera in an Uber? Yes. Have I left it on an airplane? Also yes. For me, finder tags are essential for my cameras.
我是一个非常笨手笨脚的人。笨到什么程度呢？我几乎所有的相机上都挂着 AirTag。我把相机落在 Uber 上过吗？是的。落在飞机上过吗？也落过。对我来说，追踪器标签是相机的必备品。
The problem is, strapping a finder tag to a camera is always cumbersome. I currently have them hanging off my camera straps like a phone charm circa 2001. They’re ugly, and very much get in the way when I’m trying to focus on shooting. But Peak Design thinks it has a solution in its new Field Bracket system, which it launched today on Kickstarter, starting at $150 for early birds.
问题在于，把追踪器绑在相机上总是很麻烦。我目前把它们挂在相机背带上，就像 2001 年左右流行的手机挂饰一样。它们不仅难看，而且在我专注于拍摄时非常碍事。但 Peak Design 认为他们的新款 Field Bracket 系统能解决这个问题，该产品今日已在 Kickstarter 上线，早鸟价 150 美元起。
The Peak Design Field Bracket is part L-Bracket, part hand grip, part cheese plate. It’s made for photographers and videographers who want to quickly switch between landscape and portrait orientation on their tripod, or sometimes want to mount a light or mic to their camera when there isn’t a dedicated place to do so. But possibly the most enticing thing, to me at least, is that the bracket comes with a slot for a dedicated Finder Tag.
Peak Design Field Bracket 集 L 型快装板、手柄和拓展板（Cheese Plate）功能于一身。它专为那些需要在三脚架上快速切换横竖构图，或者需要在没有专用接口的情况下为相机安装补光灯或麦克风的摄影师和摄像师设计。但对我而言，最吸引人的地方在于该支架预留了一个放置专用 Finder Tag 的插槽。
Peak’s Beacon Finder Tag is a Peak Design-branded finder that works with Apple Find My and Google Find Hub. That means it’ll work with both Apple and Android phones, so you don’t have to worry about losing access to your camera finder if you switch ecosystems. The tag uses a standard CR2025 battery, and Peak says it’s rated to last up to 6 months. It’s also rated for IP67 water and dust resistance, and it fits flush inside the base plate of the L-bracket.
Peak 的 Beacon Finder Tag 是 Peak Design 自家品牌的追踪器，支持 Apple“查找”（Find My）和 Google“查找设备”（Find My Device）网络。这意味着它同时兼容苹果和安卓手机，因此即使你更换了手机生态系统，也不必担心无法追踪相机。该标签使用标准的 CR2025 电池，Peak 称其续航可达 6 个月。它还具备 IP67 级防尘防水性能，并能完美嵌入 L 型快装板的底座内。
The Beacon Finder Tag is just one of the accessories Peak Design is selling alongside the Field Bracket. The base product you’ll be buying is in fact an L-bracket, but once that’s on your camera, you’ll have access to other add-on accessories like a hand grip, finger grip, and cheese plate. Peak says the Field Bracket will work with most ARCA-compatible tripods, and won’t get in the way if you use it with its own capture clip or camera straps. In fact, the bracket itself has dedicated slots to attach your Peak Design camera strap, so you won’t have to sacrifice the strap you own to use the bracket.
Beacon Finder Tag 只是 Peak Design 随 Field Bracket 一起销售的配件之一。你购买的基础产品实际上是一个 L 型快装板，但一旦装上相机，你就可以使用其他附加配件，如手柄、指柄和拓展板。Peak 表示，Field Bracket 兼容大多数 ARCA 标准的三脚架，并且不会影响其 Capture 快挂或相机背带的使用。事实上，支架本身就有专门的插槽来连接 Peak Design 的相机背带，因此你无需为了使用该支架而放弃原有的背带。
Peak calls the vertical attachment to the L-bracket the Field Latch, and it uses the company’s new locking system to quickly attach and detach it without any tools. This is the same place you attach the optional cheese plate, which pulls out in adjustable stops in case you need to access ports or run cables from the camera.
Peak 将 L 型快装板上的垂直连接件称为“Field Latch”，它采用了公司全新的锁定系统，无需任何工具即可快速拆装。这也是安装可选拓展板的位置，该拓展板支持分段调节，以便你在需要连接接口或整理相机线缆时进行调整。
Of course, you’ll have to choose the exact bracket you want for the camera you own, considering it’s molded specifically to that body. At launch, most cameras supported are the newest, or near-newest models of each camera line. You can see a compatibility list here. And if you want to see your camera supported, Peak has a dedicated feedback page to submit the camera you own.
当然，由于支架是针对特定机身模具定制的，你必须为你的相机选择对应的型号。在发布初期，支持的机型大多是各系列最新或接近最新的型号。你可以在此处查看兼容性列表。如果你希望你的相机得到支持，Peak 也有一个专门的反馈页面供你提交你的相机型号。
The bracket itself will MSRP at $149.95, and if you want a bundle of all the accessories currently offered, you can get everything for $269.80. As usual, though, Peak Design is offering a Kickstarter discount, which puts the bracket at $125 and the bundle at $199, while supplies last at least.
该支架的建议零售价为 149.95 美元，如果你想要包含目前所有配件的套装，价格为 269.80 美元。不过，按照惯例，Peak Design 在 Kickstarter 上提供了折扣，支架优惠至 125 美元，套装优惠至 199 美元，售完即止。
