TetherGuard Camera Support - 3 Pack

I have doubts about the name of this product. I dont know how well it would stop a USB cable from being jerked out of the port. The plan is not to find out. The tether cord or thread that you tie off to your camera strap lug ring is very thin. Weak link. This could be a bit more robust for the money. There is no substitute for being careful with your cord. I bought this to serve as a cable strain relief. I position the clamp on the cable at a point that keeps the cord pointing straight out of the port (as shown) before it begins to curve away from the camera body. My camera is usually on a tripod when I shoot tethered. It probably is best to just let the cord get yanked out of the camera vs the risk of your rig crashing to the ground because the cable is now tethered to your camera. Anyhow, the JerkStopper does serve well as a cable relief to keep the cord exiting straight out of the USB port preventing gravity from tugging on your port. I keep the tether on the camera strap ring at all times and I keep the clamp on the cable at all times. I use the quick disconnect to join the two when I shoot tethered. After I unplug the USB cable from the port I squeeze the JerkStopper quick disconnect to separate the cable from the tether.

If you tether to your computer while shooting, this is essential. An OOOPs here could destroy your laptop or camera, so dont take chances. Concentrate on making the shot and worry less about the equipment.

Works well and keeps you plugged in. Love it!

Useful for great jerks but not very useful to keep stress away from the end of cables at the port.

I should have ordered two as I have two cameras. Do not have to worry about damaging the usb port on the camera and very easy to hook up.

Great cable holder for the Canon 5D Mark IV. Very useful.
