Description
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 3.0 cable that is equipped with a Type-A male connector on one end and a USB micro-B 10-pin male connector on the other side, making it compatible with external hard drives, memory card readers, and more. This USB 3.0 cable is 15′ long and transmits data at a rate of up to 5 Gb/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 is an excellent tether cable, made of good material and seems of excellent quality as well. I found working with the tether cable to be very flexible and pliable. Functionality of it is working great and is fast transporting the data from the Nikon D800 camera to the my Mac Pro Six Core tower. My tether program is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. These tools are working great for me as I am not allowed to visually see my product shots and make corrections on the fly. And the color is a safety feature making you constantly aware the cable is laid on the floor in your work area. I would also recommend that you also purchase the Tether Tools JerkStopper Camera Support, as I did. The two work together hand in hand.

An essential component in my work flow. Just long enough. The only caution I would offer is, if you live or work in a part o the world where easy access to this type of gear is difficult or slow, I would recommend purchasing several at a time. The big connector (USB A-type) seems to fail all to often and usually at the worst time. Having a backup is key. I would give it four or five stars but for the frailty of that connector.

I had already used this product before, so I didn’t need to do research on it prior to ordering. It arrived quickly and has performed perfectly since I took it out of the box. It’s the perfect length to let me be tethered to my MacBook while my assistant edits the photos on the spot. I am always paranoid about the Micro-B end coming out of the camera – it feels a bit loose – but it never disconnected during my 2 hour photo booth.

I use this to tether my 7D MK II to my computer

Love the length. Love the color. Tethered my D810 rather nicely. At 15ft you might also need a tether booster but maybe give it a whirl first without one.

Using this cord with the tether block is the best solution I’ve found for a solid usb connection to the camera while shooting tethered.

The cable is a 5 star cable but I gave it 4 stars because I thought it was somewhat pricey…

I purchased the TetherPro cable for my Nikon 850. The port was very secure but I also purchased the safety cord just in case. Both worked great. A full day of tethered shooting and I only lost connection once. I would recommend this product.

Switched from wireless Eye-Fi to tethered.

Perfect hood for my NEC. Not recommended to travel with unless you have a padded pouch since the plastic seems eager to break.

I LOVE Tether Tools brand in general, and these cable are no exception! Well made. Works flawlessly!
Brice Greenholt (verified owner) –
I’m using this product with my Nikon D800 camera and macbookair during my mostly outdoor portrait shots. This is very useful because it’s long enough and due to its color it can be easy to notice by others. So people can pay attention easily.

By far the best and most reliable USB to Micro-B cable I’ve found. Frustration takes a back seat to quality.

Keeps loosing connection from the camera plug and disconnecting on a 5DiV. at first i thought it was my Laptop with issues but its not, the original Tether cable that came with the camera works just fine. Even tried it from a WD 4TB My Book for Mac to my IMAC to see if it would run iTunes. Doesn’t recognize the drive. Its more cost effective to purchase a second than return for a refund. Lets see where we go from there.!

I have been buying tether tools products for years. This is a quality cord. Heavy duty for either studio work or on location. Pairs well with the tether block.

bought this to replace the cord on my SSD. Might be overkill but it’s definitely better built that most other USB 3.0s

I’m using this cable to shoot tethered to my laptop from a 5Dsr with a battery grip and an L bracket. I wish there were more options for different types of right angle Micro-B usb connections, this one requires tight kink in the cable to make work.

Functionality for tethering DSLR to laptop is easy!

Works great but feel the price is high for 15′. that is why it only got 3 stars.
