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.

Got this to tether my 5d mkii and it works great! I like the high visibility orange because its a bit easier to see and not trip over. The jerkstopper is also a must. Very happy!

If you’re shooting portraits and aren’t changing locations rapidly this will become a huge time saver. It’s such a nice increase in mobility.

Shooting tethered is the only way to work for studio portraits. I can even use it for outdoors shooting, if I have some shade for the laptop.

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

We needed a tough, long cord to go from a Canon mkIV to a laptop for comercial shoots and this was the answer. I was a little put off by the bright color, but I am glad about it now. No confusing it with anything else laying about. Highly recommended!

The gold platting guarantee a optimized transfer and the orange color make it easily recognizable.

I bought this as a backup cord. The high visibility makes it my #1 choice with the standard Canon black one as the backup after years of solid use. It was cheaper than the Canon The TT cord needed a little trimming to fit the Canon 1Dx cord keeper snap in thing. I prefer Canon’s snap in cord accessory that to the TT jerk-stopper. Good quality cord.

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.
