Product Information
Full details
The Tether Tools ONsite Relay C Camera Power System is designed for photographers needing continuous power for their cameras, especially during long shoots or in remote locations. Its key benefit is providing an uninterrupted power source, either from AC wall power or a USB-C battery, preventing missed shots due to battery depletion. A potential caveat is the need for an external USB-C battery for full portability, as relying solely on AC power limits its use outdoors. This system ensures your camera remains powered, making it ideal for travel photography, astrophotography, time-lapses, and extended shooting sessions.
