USB 3.0 Tethered Connections Now Reliable Up to 65 Feet Using New TetherBoost Pro
Tether Tools new TetherBoost Pro System introduces the first streamlined solution for common USB 3.0 tether connection challenges, ensuring a consistent, reliable and fast USB 3.0 connection between DSLRs, Mirrorless or Digital Backs and a computer, now (for the first time ever) at distances up to 65 feet.
For a photographer, technical issues including a dropped tethered connection are incredibly frustrating, especially if you have clients on set. Not having the ability to shoot with a wired tethered connection past 15 feet was also exasperating for photographers.
The TetherBoost Pro System alleviates a common problem amongst USB 3.0 camera and digital back users who are experiencing dropped tethering connections or are unable to get a tethered connection started at all. These challenges are affecting some of the most popular cameras on the market, including USB 3.0 cameras from Nikon, Canon, Phase One, Mamiya Leaf, and Pentax.
Tethered Connection Setups Ranging from 15 to 65 Feet
Check out the various tethered setups, and corresponding products listed below. Add to your shopping cart today and begin shooting tethered with your USB 3.0 without the hassle of dropped connections!
All setups read left to right, beginning with the camera and ending with the connection to a laptop. You’ll notice the 48′ and 65′ Setup require more than one of the same item, as an example you’ll need two USB 3.0 Active Extensions in the 48′ Setup and two TetherBoost Pros plus three USB 3.0 Active Extensions to achieve the 65′ Setup.
The TetherBoost Pro comes with one JerkStopper Extension Lock and all USB 3.0 Active Extension Connections should be secured and protected with this product.

No one likes light stands. They’re bulky, are serious trip hazards, and can be a pain to setup and keep out of a shot. If you’re ready to pack light and leave the light stands at home on your next shoot, look no further than the RapidMount SLX.
New from Tether Tools, the RapidMount SLX is a multi-surface speedlight holder that allows mounting off-camera flashes to a wall and other surfaces using the included specially-formulated, pressure-activated RapidMount adhesive strips.
