Stay Connected and Protect Sensitive Ports with TetherBlockKey Features: Keeps tether cables connected and secured to camera Protects expensive camera ports from damage Constructed from precision milled T5 aerospace aluminum alloy Lightweight and extremely durable Multiple routing channels accept thick, medium or thin cables Rubber non-slip pads keep the TetherBlock from moving once attached to the camera Additional 1/4-20" female threads allow mounting non Arca-compatible tripod plates Camera data ports are fragile and expensive to repair. When shooting tethered in studio or on location, a trip or tug can cause your tether cable to become dislodged or cause serious damage to your camera’s data ports. The TetherBlock is a must-have for photographers shooting tethered both handheld or using a tripod. The TetherBlock is designed to prevent accidental removal of a cable from your camera's data ports by snaking a USB, FireWire, or HDMI cable through one of TetherBlock’s three channels. A 1/4"-20 slotted screw attaches the plate to the camera, and can be tightened with a screwdriver or coin. From there, either shoot handheld or attach the TetherBlock to your camera's tripod mount and you'll be able to shoot tethered to a computer without fear of your tethered cable becoming unplugged. Easy to mount, the TetherBlock has a 1/4"-20 male thread to attach directly to the bottom of your camera. TetherBlockThe bottom of the TetherBlock features both a 1/4"-20 and a 3/8" female tripod thread, allowing it to be mounted directly onto a tripod plate or head. If you are mating it with your tripod plate, you will be able to center your plate on the TetherBlock giving you a secure connection. If you have an Arca-style ball head for your tripod, we recommend the TetherBlock Arca. Constructed in the USA from a single piece of precision milled T5 aerospace aluminum alloy, the TetherBlock is extremely durable while remaining lightweight and is covered by Tether Tools Lifetime Warranty.MPN: TB-MC-005
