Tether Tools has unveiled the AeroTrac Workstation System, a portable, foldable, and highly configurable workstation designed for photographers, videographers, and digital content creators who need to work efficiently on the move.

The AeroTrac Workstation System combines lightweight aluminum construction, a foldable platform, and a modular track system with versatile accessory options to create a workspace that adapts to any creative environment. Its universal mounting capabilities allow it to attach securely to tripods, light stands, C-Stands, and production carts, while optional legs let it function as a freestanding desk on flat surfaces.

Whether used in a studio, on location, or in a mobile setup, AeroTrac keeps laptops, tablets, storage drives, and other tools organized and accessible, allowing creators to maintain a professional workflow without sacrificing portability or speed.

Compact, Durable, and Portable

The AeroTrac folds in half for transport yet remains rigid and stable when deployed. Its anodized aluminum construction weighs just 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilogram) while supporting up to 30 lbs (14 kg) of gear. Fully open, the workstation platform measures 17″ x 11″ x 0.35″ (43 x 28 x 0.9 cm), and it folds down to 8.5″ x 11″ x 0.75″ (22 x 28 x 1.9 cm) for compact storage, making it suitable for studio, location, or on-the-go setups.

The lightweight handle and included Hex Tool make adjustments and transport straightforward, while the foldable design ensures that setups can be packed down quickly without disturbing mounted gear.

Modular Track System for Custom Workflows

At the heart of AeroTrac is its integrated track system, which allows creators to attach laptops, tablets, storage drives, lights, power banks, and other accessories securely. Tracks are mounted above and below the workstation, and all gear remains in place during setup, teardown, and transport. Additional 1/4”-20 threads enable attachment of monitors, lights, or other tools. For users looking to customize further, Tether Tools offers open-source 3D print files to create personalized accessories.

This modular system allows the workstation to evolve alongside a creator’s workflow, accommodating different projects and gear setups without compromising stability or speed.

Universal Compatibility and Mounting Flexibility

AeroTrac integrates seamlessly with industry-standard tripods, light stands, C-Stands, and production carts. It works with Tether Tools’ Rock-Solid Tripod, Arca Quick-Release Adapter + Plate, and Baby Ball Head Adapter for fast attachment and repositioning. Optional workstation legs can be added to create a freestanding setup on any flat surface, whether a desk, a vehicle, or a production cart.

This flexibility promises to ensure that creators can maintain a professional-grade workflow across varied environments, from studios to outdoor shoots or live events.

Workflow Benefits

Designed for creators constantly moving between locations, AeroTrac emphasizes efficiency, portability, and control. Its foldable and lightweight construction allows rapid setup and breakdown, while the modular track system keeps devices, tools, and storage secure throughout transport. Whether operating as a stand-alone desk or mounted on a tripod or cart, AeroTrac functions as the central hub for editing, organizing, and managing creative projects on the go.
