The Starter Tethering Kit from Tether Tools gives you all the essential gear needed to create a secure data connection between your camera and computer for a tethered workflow. This kit comes with a black USB 2.0 cable that is equipped with a Type-A male connector on one end and a USB mini-B 5-pin male connector on the other side, making it compatible with digital cameras. This USB 2.0 cable is 15′ long and transmits data at a rate of up to 480 Mb/s.
Tether Tools includes two JerkStoppers that remove the strain placed on the computer and camera’s ports from the connecting cable and help ensure the cable stays connected. For preventing tangles, ten ProTab cable ties keep the power, video, and other types of cables well managed and organized. In addition, this kit provides a Tether Tools organization case, so you can store the included cable, cable retention devices, and cable ties.
Please note that only the USB cable is covered by a limited 90-day warranty that does not guard against wear and tear.

Does what it should…tether your camera to your computer. Like the highly visible color too.

The bright orange is great to have in a dark studio. Or even a lit one, for that matter. It helps to not trip over the cord. Solid connections! Good buy!

Tether capture gives you the most control over all your photography. Why? Because tethering allows you to see your photos moments after you take the picture. In studio or on location, you can instantly manipulate your lighting conditions to your needs. No need to take hundreds of photos for nothing. No more wasting time. This tether cable has given me a faster, consistent workflow.

a 15 ft cable to tether your camera to your computer is a great idea. Good customer service for advising me… The only problem is it often comes out of my camera, disrupting the whole tethering.

This gets the job done and works perfectly! I would recommend getting the extension with this because it can be a little short at times espectially when being creative and trying different angles. It is always better to have more then less. That is my only problem and that is the reason I gave it a 4 start. This product is great and you will not regret buying it but you might find yourself ordering and waiting for the extension to arrive. Also the jerkstopper is a must! I have stepped on the cord (because it was too short) many times and it has either been yanked out of the camera or my computer which I would rather not be damaged. I use this to shoot portraits and merchanise and this tether cord has made my life so much easier. It is worth every penny and you will not be disappointed. I shoot with a D600+D5100 and this tether cord fits both perfectly and functions beautifully. Highly recommend with additions

I wish I had read Tether Tools’ own blog article about this cable for the D750 before I bought the orange one, which does not work with the D750 (something Tether Tools has acknowledged). However, their customer service was fast and top notch in getting me an RMA and a replacement black cable at no cost to me (including shipping).

The cable that shipped with the Canon 1D X was far too short to be useful. This cable is very sturdy and the orange color is very visible and prevents tripping even in low lit environments. It is also less expensive than the Canon replacement of equivalent length.

Its perfect! the only issue I have with it is the insane prices these items sell for… but I did pay for it and I don’t regret it one bit. Get the JerkStopper with it and its the perfect combo.

IT WAS VERY EASY TO USE.

For studio work, this is a great addition. Reviewing images in real time on a 17 screen versus the camera LCD has made a huge difference in my work. 15′ is plenty for me. The bright orange keeps me aware of its presence.

Great quality but not cheap

I love this cable! It’s the perfect length, not so short and so long, just about right. I use it for indoor shoots, tethering to the lap top or for a photo booth. Gave it 4 stars only due to it being a bit pricey and not getting like a bag to store it and travel.

Works great

The tether Pro cable has proven to be everything I wanted. I will purchase the female cable adapter in order to increase the length…although I could make it without the addition. The cable is wonderful!

I use the TetherPro USB 2.0 A Male to Mini-B 5-Pin Gold Plated cable to tether my Nikon D700 to Lightroom both at my studio and on location, and it has yet to loose connection or fail me on the job. It’s bright orange color keeps me, my assistants or clients from tripping over it and causing a big time accident.

The length of this cable works well for me, and I like the orange making it visible so as not to trip when shooting.

No Doubt! The Best in class! Super fast!

Dependable incredibly long cable. It’s well made and always does the job. You only have to buy it once – Get the 15′ for sure!
