TetherGuard Camera Support - 3 Pack

A frequent user of a CamRanger, I would have saved myself the cost of replacing the USB port in my main camera body had I starting using the JerkStopper sooner. It isnt a perfect solution, especially for a non-studio shooter. Pros: Fairly inexpensive given other options Incredibly unobtrusive Main component can be left on camera Cons: Yes it is fairly inexpensive considering the cost of other port protectors on the market but, seriously - $20.95!!!? The U shaped part that encloses the cable is easily lost The plastic clip on the end of the string can be slightly annoying when the JerkStopper is not in use because it is a hard plastic and smacks the side of the camera.

What can I say Im a Tether Tools fan! they dont make a bad thing!

Product as described

Very Nice

I bought this product for securing a usb cable to a camera for tethered shooting. the $20 price is certainly hefty for this little plastic clip, but its only $20 so not my real issue with the piece. I gave this product two stars because now that I have it and put it to use I have quickly realized that it doesnt do what I thought it would, which is to keep the USB cable securely connected to the port on the camera. If you look at the photo where the clip is shown on the camera body youll be able to see that there is plenty of slack on the USB cable and how long the jerkstopper itself is (guessing about 5 inches), so its not really securing the cable to the camera at the port but merely securing the cable and the camera together together several inches down the cable. If I were to trip over the USB cable with enough force to jerk it out of the camera it might pull the cable out of the port but it would still be attached to the camera by the string end, thus the danger of the camera being brought down actually seems greater with this piece than without it. The only real advantage I can see to this product is that, should the USB cable fall out of the camera port, either by slight force or just wiggle out, the jerkstopper will keep the end of the cable right there at the camera as opposed to falling to the ground where youll have to chase it around before plugging it back in. All that said, I really want it to work so Ill probably try a few ways to rig it up myself a little better, Ill update if anything works...

Its a must-have protecting your computer and your camera I made a small hole with the drill in the part that it gets connected to my computer USB port so I could attach it to make computer stand since I dont think its a great idea to connect it to my computer USB port because I need that port that could be fix if they could tweak the product somehow that gives you an alternative way to keep it attached to a computer in the still of using one of the USB ports my another complain is the price which is true High for what it is it shouldnt be more than $5.

It works great and can keep you from needing a really expensive repair but it is over priced for what it is.

I use an a7sii on a Ronin-M gimbal with an Atomos monitor/recorder on top. Ive used many different types of cables from the camera to Atomos and all of them have blinked out and cut the feed for a few frames every once and awhile when Im doing some crazy Ronin work. Figured the weak point was the microHDMI on the camera, and I was right. Once I installed the JerkStopper I have not once had the signal cut. Well worth it.

way too much money for what it is

I messed up my port on my 7D. Once I fixed my port I bought this thing and it has saved me from having to open my camera again. If you shoot tethered you better grab one
