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.

The orange color led me to this one over the Canon version, but unfortunately, the cable did not fit snugly into the camera. Everytime I flipped the camera vertically, it would come loose and lose connection. This may have been a one off issue, but I returned this one and got the Canon version instead.

This product was super easy to use! The color of it makes it stand out and quick to spot. It is long enough for all sorts of jobs and really gets it done!

I was having problems tethering my Nikon to my laptop. I kept losing the connection. I then bought the Nikon brand cable which helped. I then found this and a used longer one (one for D750 and one for D610) and both worked like a charm. Never lost a connection again.

Connects your camera to your computer, I use it with Lightroom 5

I had originally gone with a cheaper USB and I have to say this is very well made and I haven’t had an issue with CO LR or EOS utility since.

Bought to shoot tethered in Lightroom. Works great and is easy to see, but as I said seems a bit over priced to me. I also recommend purchasing the little attachment holder to help keep it attached to your camera and not get ripped out.

The black tether cable is fantastic. I originally purchased the orange color but was faulty. I sent it back and I got another orange what was faulty again. I contacted customer service and I asked them to send me a black. Customer service is just amazing with this company. They sent me the black cable next day shipping for free after all my trouble with the 2 orange cable. the black is works like a charm with my nikon d750.

I should have purchased the longer cable. But it works perfectly and glad I have a cable to go with my digital Tech setup here in NYC

I bought this to add to my D300s in studio and it works great. I use this in conjunction with a MacBook Pro and Adobe Lightroom 4 for tethered shooting and it works great. No set-up needed, and transfers fast into Lightroom software.

The product works fine for tethering the camera to laptop or when downloading the photographs from the camera. The orange color makes it easy to spot in a busy shoot, however I would recommend using a black wire when shooting a reflective subject.

Main thing I’ve noticed is the faster transfer speed, not blazing fast but good enough for me. While the orange stands out in the studio and the length gives me freedom of movement, I originally bought this for remote shooting since my camera decides when its had enough and locks up when shooting in wifi. Happy so far….

Each day we use the TetherPro in our studio to connect our Nikon’s to the IMacs. These new chords we purchased have not failed us one bit! Excellent job TetherPro! It is only 15 feet long so if you like to do TaeBo while taking photographs then you may want to purchase the longer chord! Other than that…no complaints here!

Definitely the best USB cable you can get for tethering a camera. Extremely high quality.

I got this cable to replace the standard one I had rolling around. It wasn’t cutting it when shooting raw into Lightroom. So I got this cable in hopes it would speed up the file transfer rate and it did it’s job. I’m now able to shoot raw into Lightroom with confidence that it’s not going to slow my shoot down.

This cable is very durable. I love the orange high visibility color.

Excellent help at the time of the sessions. I hope I can always count on a B7H for the necessary support at the time of the work. Tether tool is very efficient and important, even more not found, it is not a B7H, it is a great tool working!
