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.

Great for shooting tethered. Bright orange color makes it hard for my assistants to trip on.

I like that it is orange, easy to see. I use it for my Canon EOS 60D to PC to use with backyardEOS for remote camera control while doing astrophotography. Great quality.

I didn’t think I needed this, until I realized the number of times I walked around in the studio with my camera tethered and accidentally pulled out the USB cable I used or stepped on it. This item is bright orange so you always see it and can always find it.

Cable works great and does what it’s supposed to do!

I typically shoot wireless tether, but I needed this cord as backup for small events where I don’t want to give Murphy an opportunity to kill my workflow. I specifically bought this for use with a Canon Selphy. Works as promised, gets the data to the printer, and is long enough to give me room to move if needed.

Bought to use when photographing Portraits and Portfolio work so that I can see the images on my laptop in a bigger size during the shoot. I have only so far tested it by connecting and taking a few test shots but it worked fine.

I have used this cable for several portrait shoots so far. At first I was using the USB cable which came with my Nikon D7000, but it was too short (3 feet). I purchased the Tether Tools cable for a longer reach. I gained something else unexpectedly: a more reliable connection. With the Nikon-supplied cable, I often had trouble getting my Macbook Pro + Lightroom combo to recognize that the camera was attached. I’d have to restart Lightroom and/or turn off/on the camera. I thought this was ‘normal’ behavior, until I started using the Tether Tools cable. I get a flawless connection every time with no fiddling. Well worth the money.

The ability to capture images straight into Lightroom and already have your settings applied… I’ll take that!

When I first saw this cable, I thought it was just another USB cable. But it is not! It has a strong construction, ideal for connecting your camera to any laptop with USB port. I use with my Canon T6i and Adobe Lr. It works perfectly. Also, I bought a Jerkstopper to avoid any malfunction of the USB cable, either the connection in the USB port or in the camera. The length is perfect for most situations in-studio where you may need an extra space between the camera and the computer.

I connect my 6d and Mark2 to Lightroom with this tethering cord. Would suggest this to anyone that shoots in studio and so client can live view to make sure colors are correct for apparel.

Great that my camera and computer are not constricted to such a small area now and the orange color helps it stand out.

High visibility orange color is very helpful to locate in low light situations .

Super quality item. Thanks!

I was asked to shoot portraits for the university where I teach. As an Adobe Lightroom user I knew the software provides for tethered shooting so I purchased the cable manufactured by Tethered Tools. What a time save – portraits are imported directly into Lightroom for any post processing and cataloging. Reviewing the shot on a laptop is much more efficient than the monitor on my Nikon D3. The length of the cablemis perfect and the color is a constant reminder to watch your step.

Just used on a outdoor two day commercial clothing line shoot with D750. Tethered straight to my laptop for client to review as I shot. Very little lag time. Will defiantly use again and again.

Perfect for Studio Shoots. I was also able to add the micro USB for my Sony to tether.

I have had the Tether Table and 15′ Tether cord for almost a month now. Very pleased with the functionality and ease of use! This cord is heavy duty, not flimsy.

I have 2 of these cords—for my 2 Camrangers. They are perfect to connect Camranger to my Canons. Forget the Camranger bag with its clip—use that only for storage—-I stick my Camranger on a shoe-mount bracket and use this 1-foot cord to connect——JUST PERFECT. No dangling anything. NIce cord—price is right.
