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 have used in the past a Usb 2.o version and it works great. Purchasing new camera that made the change to Usb 3.0 and so the need to update my cable. I use Lightroom to tether my camera while on location and in the studio.

I bought this figuring it was the best, and it worked fllawlessly for 9 months. Unfortunately now it disconnects from computer and has trouble reconnecting. Tether tools only replaces within 90 days so I’ll have to buy a new one.

Perfect entry level monitor for professional retouchers. About as good as it gets for 24 under $1000 that isn’t Eizo

It works exactly as advertised, and feels very durable. Just wish it was a bit cheaper, but I think it is worth every penny.

So far it’s been a reliable cable, providing a much more useful length than the tiny one that came with my Nikon D810. No issues shooting with it so far. Definitely get the JerkStopper from Tether Tools to use with this, it holds the cord in the camera and has been a lifesaver. Very impressed with Tether Tools as a brand so far, this cable only bolsters my opinion of them.

Recently started shooting product and models tethered to my iMac and wanted to get a reliable fast cable. Quality is perfect and it seems fast even without a booster cable. I use this with an additional extension. Very pleased so far.

I ponied up to a “proper” cable, my cheepies were crapping out at about every six months. It is a good durable cable materia. I LOVE that it is orange, so it can be seen in a darkened studio setting, so we don’t trip all over it. I LOVE that it has a right angle head, so it drops down directly from the side of my camera. HOWEVER, IT WILL NOT FIT INTO A 5Ds OR A 5D IV with the USB cable protector / saddle attached to the side of the camera, It will fit fine without. I live with the Canon USB protector as a permanent fixture on my bodies, I am a studio photographer, every image I shoot, it a tethered to a computer situation. The cord butts into the bottom screw on the saddle, preventing it from inserting into the port. So I did what had to be done, I cut the bottom screw to shorten it, and thereby cleared the way for the cable to plug in properly. BUT then the stupid thing is very very thin at the plastic part forming the right angle head, LIKE much thinner than you would expect. So when I got it to plug in, it wobbled around and kept falling out. UGG ! To remedy, I got out my photo black set tape, gave it a few wraps to thicken the head, until it fit snugly within the saddle, hanging down clearing the formerly long screw. After about an hour to figure all this out, the cable fits properly, and securely, and works perfectly fine. In the end, I would rather have a high quality cable, orange, coming out of my camera at a right angle, than the cheapie shooting out the side, TORKING THE PORT to the point of repair (2x now in 2years) , fighting gravity and constantly being tripped over. If you are a real deal photographer, you know that photogs have no problem modifying a piece of gear to get it where you need it to be. Cutting a screw, and wrapping tape around it for a fix, is hardly brain surgery. Somewhat annoying to do so, but the end result it totally worth it.

Bought this for camera control software and tethering for a Nikon D810. Works flawlessly, but a bit pricey. Having had issues with cheap cables in the past, went with this one and am not disappointed. Would be five stars if price were a bit lower…

This is just what I needed. The connection from my D5 to my computer is reliable and fast. The length is good for close to computer transfers as well as positioning the computer further away during studio work.

This cable worked seamlessly, not a single time was there a communication problem from the camera to the camera. The Photo Event was a great success largely in part because of the quality of the interface cable.
Norene Pfannerstill (verified owner) –
The cable worked without interruptions for hours until the battery ran out in the camera. It was difficult at first to connect and then to reconnect, the camera and the MacBook Pro, but I attribute that difficulty to EOS Utility being difficult about the order of connection and turning on of the devices. Not clear instructions on that from EOS Utility.

It plugs into my camera and my computer, and makes files transfer. What more do you need? 🙂 The cable itself is thick, likely due to both the quality of construction and the fact it’s USB 3.0. The Male A end fits rather loosely into my MacBook Pro, but that’s not the cord’s fault; the port is only USB 2.0, and too shallow to fit the whole plug. It is compatible though, and transfers files faster than other USB 2.0 cables I’ve used to tether.

I bought a few days ago, so, dont work in my Imac 21.5 2017 with macOS Catalina, Im using Canon eos 5ds and Capture One 20. With my macbook pro 15 2013 works!!! So, but this happen, I connect the terminal cable to the USB port of the macbook until the half, once that the macbook connect with the camera I can connect until the end the connector USB of the cable in the macbook. Is the cable that everyone use and so so very expensive, but in my opinion the factory dont have a good quality control, they dont reply the mail that I sent to them!!!

Tether Tools makes durable cables that withstand daily abuse and this one is no exception.

The teatherpro cable is a high quality cable. Although I’ve only owned it for a week the feel of the cable is that of a very well built cable.

I have gone through more straight away tethering cables, ultimately damaging the internal pins due to rough studio use. I switched to the right angle connector combined with tether tools jerk protector that I screw into the bottom of my camera. No more disconnects during a tethered session. Love it !!
