The Tether Tools Air Direct Wireless Tethering System is a compact transceiver that provides remote camera control capabilities as well as high-speed raw and JPEG image transfer using a computer or mobile device. Air Direct creates an 802.11ac ad-hoc Wi-Fi network for connecting to a computer or mobile device and can also bridge to an existing network, keeping the computer internet connection accessible when using the device. The Air Direct attaches to a compatible camera via its USB port and can be mounted to accessory shoe or to the side of the camera with an optional Arca Clamp.

Users of Mac or Windows computers installed with tethering software such as Capture One, Adobe Lightroom, Smart Shooter, DarkRoom, Canon EOS Utility, Nikon Camera Control Pro 2, Sony Imaging Edge, FUJIFILM X Acquire, Helicon Remote, AstroDSLR, and many other tethering software programs can maintain their workflow without the limitations associated with physical camera-to-computer cables. For select Canon and Nikon cameras, the Air Remote App provides compatibility with iOS or Android devices.
