The Tether Tools Case Air Quick Release Lanyard (CAWLNYD) is an accessory specifically designed for the discontinued Tether Tools Case Air Wireless Tethering System.
The Case Air was a compact device that enabled wireless tethering for certain Canon and Nikon cameras, allowing photographers to control their camera and view images on a computer, tablet, or smartphone without a cable.
The lanyard's purpose was to provide an alternative mounting option for the Case Air.
Key Features and Purpose:
Quick Release Functionality: The lanyard features a quick-release mechanism, allowing you to easily detach the Case Air from the strap without having to un-thread it.
Camera Strap Eyelet Attachment: The lanyard is designed to be threaded through the camera's strap eyelet, providing a secure and convenient way to carry the Case Air. This leaves the camera's hot shoe free for other accessories, such as a flash trigger or speedlight.
Versatile Use: While designed for the Case Air, the lanyard could also be used for other small, lightweight accessories like Pocket Wizards, triggers, or remotes that have a compatible attachment point.
It's important to note that the Case Air Wireless Tethering System has been succeeded by the Tether Tools Air Direct, a newer, more advanced wireless tethering device with USB-C and 802.11ac Wi-Fi, offering faster transfer speeds and a wider range of camera compatibility. Therefore, the CAWLNYD lanyard is primarily a legacy product for those who still own and use the original Case Air system.
