Ridiculously priced for what it is. The machining is okay, but nowhere near as good as Kirk, ProMediaGear, RRS, etc.It works, but the cable is a really tight fit and I don't have a lot of faith that the cable won't be damaged with repeated use. If you have a studio where your camera stays set up I'm sure it will be fine.Would I get another one? Probably not. I'm sure there's plenty of cheaper brands out there that works just as well if not better. If not, I'd probably just rig something up.

Not has happy as I'd hoped. Crimped and sliced through my chords. It works, but finicky to get the cable in the right position.

Definitely helps protect your usb ports on camera for damage you still have to. Be careful it’s how you treat your equiptment I definitely but make sure you get cable block or system will not. Be secure enough to keep cable coming out and possible damage to port hope it helps

I've been using TetherTools TetherBlocks for about 2o years and they go on all my stills cameras. This on has a LeverLock for the USB cable going from the camera to the laptop and ...it's the best ever. Now that I have this locking one, ...I'm tethering more than I ever have. Get one and you will be shooting tethered like you know you should be doing. And if you never have tethered to a laptop, get one of these. There is no better on and even this one has been improved with the locking lever that's easy to unhook your cable. You'll find yourself tethering more than you ever did before. ..so easy on and off!

I shoot tethered quite often and have had issues with the cable coming loose - even with a cable clamp. This gadget takes care of keeping the cable secure. Deducted a star due to price. No way should this be over $40 for what it is.

Good:1. Don’t have to remove bracket from camera to attach cables.2. Arca mount.Bad:1. Can not use thin cables as they will not stay in the cable channel. They fall out and only get held in with the handle. Have to use heavy/chunky cables that are not friendly to usb ports. I suppose if I used Tethertools cables they would stay.2. Bright orange release handle shows up in reflective pictures. I should have noticed before buying but why would you make a camera part bright orange?

Tether Tools ist wohl jedem ein Begriff, der sich mit Studiofotografie beschäftigt. Die Produkte sind immer hochwertig, die Preise aber saftig. Was mir hier besonders gut gefällt, ist der Schellspannverschluss, das ist wirklich eine feine Sache. Über 100 Euro für dieses Streichholzschachtel große Teil ist enie Ansage...

I purchased The tether lock about a week ago and I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s a bit pricey I’ll have to admit but with this plate I Can secure my tethering cable without having to screw in and out the whole plate every time. It’s very practical and I love it so far. Construction is all metal, including the orange latch. The only downside I found was that the archer Swiss mount section does not cover the whole length of the plate. It could be a little short for some tripod heads. But so far I haven’t had a problem with it. I recommend this product.
