Description Keep your most important connection safe. The COBRAUNION STRAIGHT-LOCK is a high-quality tether cable holder made for professional photographers, videographers, and digital techs who need their equipment to work perfectly every time. The Straight-Lock lives up to its name because it doesn't bend your cable sharply like regular cable locks do, which can cause signal loss or long-term damage. Its unique spring-loaded mechanism keeps the cable perfectly straight, so there is no bending and the data port on your camera gets the most strain relief possible. Why the STRAIGHT-LOCK? Zero Cable Bend: Designed to maintain the integrity of your high-speed data cables. By keeping the cable straight, you ensure maximum transfer speeds and extend the lifespan of your tethering gear. Ultimate Port Protection: Accidents happen on set. The Straight-Lock acts as a fortress for your camera's USB or HDMI port, preventing accidental disconnects and expensive port repairs. Arca-Swiss Ready: Efficiency is key. The built-in Arca-Swiss compatible base allows you to mount and unmount your camera from your tripod in seconds without removing the lock. Quick Release Function: Need to switch setups fast? The spring mechanism allows for rapid mounting and unmounting of cables while the plate stays securely attached to your camera. Technical Specifications Material: High-grade CNC Machined Aluminium for lightweight durability. Dimensions: Compact 6x4cm Footprint. Mounting: Secures to the camera using a screw (requires a 5/32" Hex key). Product Contains: 1x COBRAUNION Straight-Lock
