Carolina Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Does anyone know where to buy the short tether for the RC ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed in NC Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I broke the lanyard that came with my Deus II originally, and made one from a USB stick lanyard ( picked up on ebay ) and some paracord attached to the shaft. Don't have my Deus handy to take a picture. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I asked the same question a couple days ago in a different thread (custom antenna thread) without any responses. Gigmaster has one attached in his video. In my searching for it, I found one that looks to work well since it can be detached. $4.95 each and shipping is $8.30. https://tethertools.com/product/quick-release-lanyard/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Took mine off, been using the Detecting Doodads rig on my stock Deus 2 shaft, it also holds the WS6 module. SteveG's CF shaft comes with a similar locking rig that holds it as good or better, so I retired the tether. Looked everywhere for ya Carolina, can't find it for sale. 😵 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT_GhostLight Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I have that lock doodad too but still have the tether on as well... I know trust issues... 😆 I did an Amazon search for short quick release tether and came up with some usable alternatives. I'm looking at this one as a heavier duty tether. Supposedly rated to 44 lbs so I think it might be a little stronger. Amazon Quick Release Tether 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unox Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I use nylon fishing line, its either 50 or 100lbs, with a button attached at each end of the line to make a loop. Then slip the velcrose through it and around the shaft and you have yourself a nice cheap reliable system. I have tested it on a number of occasions and it just hangs there....bit crude but works well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the cost of those remotes, if I were a Deus user, I certainly wouldn't want to chance it! Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
