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.

I bought two of these from a local retailer. The first went bad within a few days. The second, after only a few months of use, no longer has enough tension to stay plugged into the port of my D810, despite using Tethertools connectors, which are another story unto themselves. I can no longer use it reliably in the studio, much less on location, and the premium prices are simply unjustified. As someone that shoots tethered numerous times a week in a professional environment, I will say that there is a HUGE opportunity in figuring out a better solution. My guess is that it’s WiFi. I’d rather have three less expensive, though highly rated ones on-hand, and let these stiff and spendy cables fade from relevance.

Awful expensive but it works. I’m using it to shoot tethered with my 7D II and lightroom CC.

Solid and very well built. Love it.

Good.

Standard non-garbage capture cable. Thick shielding, bright visible cord, USB 3 speed. All good things. Most other cables are TRASH and will have problems. This brand doesnt. Not for me anyway. No screwing around researching alternative brands or reputability. Just buy this. Simple. #sweepstakes

This cable is the tool what I need to see the photos in my Mac during the shooting. It’s very useful.

Can not use, error on copy files

The product works as expected.

I do love TetherTools products as they are incredibly well made. Be aware though that the Pentax 645Z (apparently) has the USB port facing the opposite direction of many/most cameras. This cable will go UP rather than down when plugged in, so it will either make a u-turn (and put undue stress on the connector) or it will have to go over the camera and down the right side.

Works as promised. Definitely need the TetherBoost for the D810.

I’m giving it 5 stars because compared to other USB 3.0 this one ticker and the USB 3.0 Male connection actually stays attached to camera without any other accessories to keep it in place. I also like the angled head and it doesn’t stick out like the regular cables do but just know it doesn’t fit the cable holder on Canon 5Ds cameras.

I love this cable. High quality, very durable, love the use. Very well built cable. I would recommend going as long as possible. If you need to shorten get some velcro straps and gather the extra. You will get to some point where you need the cable to be an extra foot, three, or even five more feet. Worth the extra amount of money and will save the frustration later.

Works as expected. It also enables me to make edit photos easily while on a shoot.
Mavis Mann (verified owner) –
I used my cable during studio portraits and fashion shoots. I tether it to Lightroom CC and the sync speed is incredibly fast. The 15′ cable is long enough for me in the studio because I usually place my laptop close to me when I shoot. I would highly recommend this to anyone shooting in a studio or thinking about tethering do Capture One or Lightroom.

works well. Like that it is orange and visible. The right angle is bonus.

Works as it should

GOOD QUALITY!
Elmore Ryan (verified owner) –
An essential part of my tethered workflow. The only caution I would offer is get several if you are working in part of the world where easy access to this kind of kit is difficult. I have had several of their cables fail -always at the big connector (USB A-Type) end and having a fall back is a must.

Quality. Great quality.
