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 orange 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.

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.

I used this shooting a Nikon D7000 in an all day photo shoot. It worked all day with no problems. The orange color made it visible against the dark flooring.

We are a busy commercial studio and have 10-20 cameras tethered and connected every day, Canon, Nikon, PhaseOne and Sony. The TetherTools cables have been far and away the most reliable, toughest, longest lasting we’ve dealt with, including those boxed with the cameras by the manufacturers. And we love the high visibility orange. On location and in the studio, they are easy to see, and thereby not trip over.

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

Connection is good, can be finicky at times but does a great job. Very easy to use with Lightroom

Long enough to shoot tethered and not worry that it won’t reach if I move around or that I’m going to trip over the cable to pull over my tripod+camera or knock my laptop onto the floor. Nicely supple, so winding it up for storage is a breeze.

No issues with tether. I use lightroom. Worked great. No complaints, reasonable price, nice long cord.

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.

I use this in my studio for tethered work and it functions well. I found this cable in black on @ for $ and it probably would function equally as well, however, the only reason I purchased this cable is because it is orange and makes it more noticeable. I have ruined other cables by stepping on them so maybe this will keep me from doing it as often…

I use to shoot tethered with the standard cable I got from Canon. It works fine except it’s short and because it’s black, you can easily trip over against it. This TetherPro USB cable is exceptionally durable and highly visible. It’s impossible not see its orange color! The best part of it is the length. No more worrying that I will overextend the camera or the laptop. I’m using this with my Canon 6D.

It worked wonderfully it allowed me to shoot tethered with my laptop and in the dark and I can see it this is bright orange

I really wanted a longer cable but I was unable to find one. This worked perfectly I had enough room to length to move around freely.

15′ TetherPro cable was exactly what I was looking for to replace other cables with extensions. Easy to see in dark studio.

pretty straightforward tether cable. works great, no issues
Dustin Monahan (verified owner) –
It’s not cheaply made and the wire held up to be moving around quite a bit and didn’t loosen at all in the port

Decided to try cabled tethering and was pretty happy with this product. My only complaint is that I wish it had a right angle plug for the piece that attaches to my camera.

Tried to use Adobe Lightroom for tethered capture and that did not work at all. Looked at forums and what not and found that Adobe is a laggard when it comes to this function. Tried a trial version of Capture One with the TetherPro and it worked perfectly with no set up, no headaches. The chord and Jerk Stopper work well as they should is it is minimal technology.
