Using With Your Hot Shoe:

The Case Air features an integrated hot shoe mount for using on your camera. However, if you need to use your hot shoe for a flash or trigger, you can mount it in one of three other ways.

  • Using the RapidMount Accessory Extension Bar, you can mount both the Case Air and flash/trigger on the bar. You would plug the Case Air into the USB as normal and then use a sync cord to plug your flash/trigger into your camera’s sync port.
  • Using the provided lanyard, you can let the Case Air hang from your camera’s straps eyelet. Since the Case Air is so light, this solution works great and the Case Air lanyard has a quick disconnect to remove it when not in use. Watch a video on setting up the lanyard.
  • The Case Air features a female 1/4″-20 mounting thread. You can use any camera grip gear like a Rock Solid Articulating Arm combined with a clamp to mount to a tripod leg or close by support.

Powered Case Air Setup

In this setup, the Case Air is being powered by a Rock Solid External Battery Pack while in use thanks to the Case Air Power
Split Cable. The battery is mounted to the tripod using a StrapMoore and is protected by an orange Rock Solid External Battery Pack Protective Sleeve. The iPad is mounted on an AeroTab Universal Tablet Mount held in place by the Rock Solid Master Articulating Arm and connected to the tripod with a Rock Solid Master Clamp.
