Good quality length is perfect

An essential component in my work flow. Just long enough. The only caution I would offer is, if you live or work in a part o the world where easy access to this type of gear is difficult or slow, I would recommend purchasing several at a time. The big connector (USB A-type) seems to fail all to often and usually at the worst time. Having a backup is key. I would give it four or five stars but for the frailty of that connector.

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

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.

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!

I’m using this product with my Nikon D800 camera and macbookair during my mostly outdoor portrait shots. This is very useful because it’s long enough and due to its color it can be easy to notice by others. So people can pay attention easily.

Whats not to love

Did my first studio shoot of a five person local band, yesterday. As convenient as tethering is there are a lot of cables over which someone can stumble. This cord seemed to be the one ring that ruled them all: it gave loud notice to watch your step. It was a bit stiff so while this may make it durable, I did need to twist it to insert it correctly. Not a huge issue but I kept wondering what torque I was putting on that delicate USB port on the d810.

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

Extremely well made. Use it for my Lacie external which I take with me
Sophia O’Reilly (verified owner) –
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 !!

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

I read an @ review of this chord while in the store at B&H that said this chord was no good. I went ahead and bought it anyway thinking Maybe that guy just got a dud. NOPE. This cable is garbage. Tried connecting it with my D800 and Capture One Pro 7 and it showed up one time before cutting out and never showing up again. I took my other short USB 3 chord that I use for my small mobile drives and everything worked fine. Tried it across different machines too. AVOID THIS CABLE!

Needed to upgrade my USB cable and have bought TetherPro in the past. The 3.0 cable should have a performance boost over the 2.0 which is why I bought it. Not sure if there’s anything unique about the cable itself other than the high visibility orange, so the cost may be a turnoff for some. I tend to stick with certain brands and TetherTools makes a diverse, nice line of products.

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.

Just did a shoot tethering Nikon d800 to Lightroom classic CC and it worked perfect. Length is great for moving around easily too and bright colour is a nice feature.

I’ve used other cables in the past and this one our performed all. Shot for 10 hours straight without any connection problems or speed issues.
Robert Stark (verified owner) –
Fast, bright colored, and the connections seemed rock solid.
Isaac Bartell (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.
