About Tether Tools TetherBLOCK

- TetherBLOCK Quick Release Plate -
The TetherBLOCK locks your tethered cable into place, keeping your cable or cord plugged in and your camera's sensitive data port protected from damage.

• 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.

TetherBLOCK
The 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.

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.

Suggested Uses
• Use with long straight-in cables, right-angle cables or right-angle adapters
• Use with shorter cables and active extensions for longer distances
• Use to secure any cables that connect to or near your camera for use in photography, video, audio, etc.
