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 no complaints except for the price, but that can’t be a complaint while I agreed to pay it 😉

And there’s nothing like having the perfect cable at the moment you need it.

Tethered a Nikon D800E to a MacBook Pro with SSHD and it worked as expected with Lightroom 5 and work as expected.

Being a cable there isn’t much to say other than it’s fast, it’s long, and it’s reliable. I primarily use this to shoot product, a situation in which I nearly always shoot tethered. Shooting solo the lag doesn’t necessarily bother me. Working with a crew that lag can be crippling; the art director has to wait for the image, they have to relay their changes to the stylists, and any lag that takes place after the picture is taken is only amplified further downline. Long story short, if you shoot solo this cable is more of a luxury than a necessity. With others on set, though, it will make a world of difference. Pro: Blazing fast data transfer. Con: Isn’t compatible with the jerk-stoppers that are becoming more commonplace among newer cameras. (Shooting on the 1DX II, I can say that it absolutely isn’t compatible. That said, simple fix would be to get the cheaper, non-angled cable).

If you like tethering your shots then def invest in this cable … It’s build quality is great . I have not gotten a chance to use it yet because Lightroom 6 has a bug that won’t pickup my Nikon d810 … Which I’m very angry about …

Works as advertised.

Bought 2 of these to replace the bulb on the profoto, one blew the second I put it on. the other is holding out alright. You get what you pay for. Better to spend a bit more on a better brand.

Created a big difference in the studio by allowing almost real-time transfer of photos taken to a big display. Great way to review work as it progresses and a fine tool in delivering creative posing to subjects. I would also recommend the jerk-stopper accessory.

Needed a tethering cable for my new home studio so I could move around and shoot while the images go to my TV from my computer running Adobe Lightroom. Already knew about Tether Tools and ordered it. Combined with the mount adapter that came with my camera, it is solidly held in place and never will pop loose on me. So thankful to have one!

Recommend going to Tether Tools website to confirm the correct part number for your camera.

Cost a little bit more, but last WAY longer than anything else we’ve tried. We also love the bright orange in the studio.

Overall this cable works great, it does the job it’s meant for. But one thing I and many other photographers struggle with is shooting tethered vertically with arca-type L-brackets. Previously I used this cable with my Nikon D800 and Kirk L-bracket, which I was able to get away with adjusting the plate extended out a little on the slotted screw mount. Now though, I recently upgraded to the D850 and bought the ultralight RRS plate, which doesn’t have the same slotting as Kirk plates. So now I either need to buy the Kirk D850 plate instead, or buy a mount-extension + new straight connector cable (since the right-angle won’t work with the extension). Ultimately I really just wish the right angle connector on this cable had just a little lower profile so that it would fit perfectly under my RRS plate. I guess it’s just too much to ask for the perfect marrying of cable and plate systems for the best vertical tethered shooting setup.

This connects my CamRanger to my Canon 5D Mark IV nicely.

This cable works fine until the plug to the camera simply gives in to the law of gravity. Don’t even bother buying this cable without a jerk stopper, or buy the one with the right-angle feature.

I have always loved and appreciated the robust feel and consistency of these cables. Nothing better out there…Period.
