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.

When you need your computer attached to your camera for review, this is the cable. It is long enough not to get in the way.

I got this cable to tether my Canon 5DMkII and 5DMkIII to my Apple iMac and my Apple MACBook Pro. It worked great using Lightroom app and the app for the Canon cameras. Very satisified!

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.

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.

Had the plain tan and black cable and replaced them with this easy to see cable. the length was good.. I like to shoot tethered and 15ft was a good size for my needs

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

Heavy duty cable makes connection issues a thing of the past.

Nice solid cable. The orange color stands out on set and is a good safety measure for preventing tripping or having your camera pulled over. Get the JerkStopper Camera Support accessory to avoid putting additional strain on your camera’s USB connection. 15′ of length gives you a nice amount of room to work with. Transfer rate is great for single shots & short bursts. Longer bursts will obviously take longer to transfer.

I use this for tethered shooting and video triggering, quality cable, camera stays in sync

Tethered shooting is definitely the way to go. I used to string together usb cables but it looked very unprofessional. This cable is great. Very well made and should last a long time. I use a jerk stopped on my camera but not on my MacBook Pro Retina I would rather lose a shot from unplugging than have a $3800 computer fall to the floor!

You won’t regret if you get this cable. Nice performing and even better looking.

This cord works great and have I no problems connecting my D7100 to Lightroom. I did learn the tip to take the SD cards out of the camera before connecting or Lightroom tries to read all the files on the cards before acknowledging the camera. Nothing to do with the cable though. I’m happy with this as my first tethering cord.

To tether your camera this is a good choice. But make sure which adaptor end is for your camera. For example a Nikon D610 uses a 5 pin connector. A Nikon D750 uses an 8 pin connector and a Canon 7D uses a USB 3 connector.
