What Makes the Actionsports Anchor Shorty20 the Ultimate Action Camera tether for jet skiing, PWC and boating adventures
Picture this: you're slicing through waves at speed, adrenaline high, camera rolling capturing the action. Then bam, you’re hit with a wave and your brand-new GoPro, DJI or Insta360 launches itself and vanishes into the sea. But it wouldn’t have if you had it tethered with an Actionsports Anchor Shorty20.
One user, Daniel Gilmour, shares his experience using the Shorty20 while jet-skiing:
“Saved my camera a second time today. Easy to attach and disconnect… I do this to take quick photos of marine life when Jet Skiing.”
