It works very well.

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.

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.

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.

I use it to Tether in the studio. I don’t want to wait to get home to find out I don’t have sharp images.

Great for tethered shooting

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!

very good quality and termination, I use it for a desktop LaCie and allows me to have it away from the desktop.

Whats not to love

The cable itself might be a good thing. But it is so annoying when it doesn’t stay connected to the camera! I’m shooting tethered, and about every 3 to 5 minutes it gets out of my camera, causing me extreme frustration.

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

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

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.

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

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 !!
Amira Rolfson (verified owner) –
The right angle plug is really helpful, but it doesn’t stay connected all that well. I’ve purchased some other tether tools to help with that problem.

It became necessary because I bought 5D Mk4.I am using other cables of Tether Tools, but I like it because it has good thickness and texture. PS : It’s a bit pricey, is not it.

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.

Much better than any other option.

So far I’ve have nothing but issues with this cable. After trying to use it with Reikan Focal, I was getting error after error after error. I thought it was either Focal or the camera. I contact Reikan with the error message details and it pointed to a USB connectivity issue. Sure enough, I tried two other USB 3.0 cables and Focal worked without a single error. I even tried hooking up one of these cheepier USB 3.0 cables with an old USB 2.0 extender I’ve had laying around for ten years worked perfectly (i.e., length wasn’t the issue either). Getting a replacement cable, but don’t have high hopes.
