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.

This is the second cable I’ve bought as my two cameras use two different cables. Tether Tools stuff always works great but it does come at a premium cost in my opinion. I will continue to buy Tether Tools as needed because it always works

Simple as that

It angles upward and not downward with the Fuji GFX 50S. Useless.

Great for tethering. Cord easy to see.

with the Mark IV i’m glad this cable has the right angle option. Looks like it can work with the cable holder that comes with the Mark IV

Works great. No problems.

Like the fact the cable does not put unequal stress on the camera connector due to the right-angle connector on the cable. Did not see any signal loss when connected to MacBook Pro. Worked great to enable use of the laptop to control my D850.

I damaged the USB port of my previous camera. I didn’t want that to happen again so I decided to give this a try. The right angle puts less pressure on the port and also it makes it easier to use it with the tether lock, which is a very sturdy protection that grabs your cable underneath the camera on the plate.

For this product, overall I think it is a good item to have in your kit. The cable is durable and gives you enough length to get the job done. It works great on location allowing you to be more mobile and free while tethering.

It’s a cable. It works. In my experience, tether tools cables last a long time, and based on the build quality, I’d expect the same from this one.

Well made and perfect length for what I wanted it for

I use this with my MacBook Pro 15 and Nikon D810 on Capture One software. Just plug and shoot…great to finally be shooting tethered in the studio!

Quality cord, though they dont last forever, of course. I choose them all over again though. 😉

We are a busy commercial studio and have 10-20 cameras tethered and connected every day, Canon, Nikon, PhaseOne and Sony. The TetherTools cables have been far and away the most reliable, toughest, longest lasting we’ve dealt with, including those boxed with the cameras by the manufacturers. And we love the high visibility orange. On location and in the studio, they are easy to see, and thereby not trip over.

I am an amature photographer and wanted to learn something new. I bought the Tether Tools kit to try shooting tethered. Hooked it up and it worked perfectly. So far, it looks like high quality and I am very pleased with it.

Heavy duty, works like it should.

since the cables I had for the 2 previous bodies of the same brand did not fit, I order the tetherpro and it works fine

A must on any commercial shoot
