I kept looking around and saw that they recently acquired the rights to sell the "TetherBlock" which had been created by someone else and TetherTools bought it from them. The TetherBlock is a solid piece of metal that has grooves on the underside cut for three sizes of cables. The smaller the cable size, the more "snaking" it does along a precut path on the underside. You snake the cable in the grooves and then attach the block to the bottom of your camera. There are threads so you can attach your tripod plate on after installing the block to your camera. Installation is a little wonky - it will take you a few tries to learn where the optimal place for the cord length so that you have enough coming out the end to plug into the side of your camera. Once you do find that length, make some little marks on the cable so next time you have guides to help you put it on quicker. It takes a few minutes to get it attached and screwed on. Once it's on, there is no way that your cable is going to come out by tripping on the cord connected to your computer. This sucker is locked down. The only way it can come out now is if someone yanks on the little bit of slack that comes out of the side of the camera. I don't forsee that happening, so this is a great solution. There is a very minimal learning curve when messing around with it the first few times trying to find that optimal spot for the cord and the length, but once you learn that, it's pretty smooth sailing from there. I use this on both my Canon 5DmkII as well as my Mamiya DF with a DM33 medium format digital back. Both work perfectly, and the Block has grooves for both sizes of tethering cable. The cable for the DM33 is really thick, and it works perfectly. The downside to this? The price. 99 bucks for a hunk of metal with grooves cut into it is crazy expensive. If it was 49.99 I'd plunk down the cash no problem, but at 99, I hesitated for a good while before buying one. Of course, after my first day using this I was sold on it, but still ... 99 bucks ... ouch! I think this is pretty much the best/strongest way to have tethering support for your camera - no matter what brand. If you have a local store that sells these, bring your camera in and a tethering cord and see if you can try one out. I'd definitely recommend getting this, but at pretty much 100 bucks I'd say do some research prior to purchasing. Hey tethertools - 99 bucks is crazy expensive. ## Features - 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. - Use to secure any cables that connect to or near your camera for use in photography, video, audio, etc. - Compatible to all cameras with a female 1/4″-20 mount on the bottom. - What’s Included: One (1) TetherBlock in Graphite. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B013TQQ8W0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #285 in Camera & Photo Cables & Cords | | Brand | Tether Tools | | Color | BLACK | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (197) | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00862612000003 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Installation Type | Screw-In | | Item Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Tether Tools | | Mfr Part Number | TetherBLOCK MC | | Model Number | TetherBLOCK MC | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Style Name | Industrial | | UPC | 862612000003 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tether Tools - **Color:** BLACK - **Installation Type:** Screw-In - **Material:** Aluminum - **Style:** Industrial ## Images ![Tether Tools TetherBlock Camera Cable Port Protection for Cable Management - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5112Kyf0P4L.jpg) ![Tether Tools TetherBlock Camera Cable Port Protection for Cable Management - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BQBIT7eQL.jpg) ![Tether Tools TetherBlock Camera Cable Port Protection for Cable Management - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XidShqU6L.jpg) ![Tether Tools TetherBlock Camera Cable Port Protection for Cable Management - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51iItEeBW+L.jpg) ![Tether Tools TetherBlock Camera Cable Port Protection for Cable Management - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xlLwlFxoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there enough room to fit both an hdmi and usb cable for my sony a6600?** A: No. That is what I need as well but am disappointed to see the product doesn't accommodate 2 cables at the same time. I'm running my USB through this block (since the connector is smaller and therefor weaker) and connecting the HDMI as usual with the clip that Nikon provides. Also note that this block is wider than most mirrorless camera bodies so it sticks out a little in the front and back. **Q: Will this fit the Manfotto Befree tripod?** A: If the tripod uses a quick release plate that detaches from the tripod and screws into the bottom of the camera, then yes; users will still be able to screw the tripod quick release plate into the bottom of the TetherBlock once attached to the camera. If the tripod does not have a quick release plate, and instead uses “Arca” mounting, then the TetherBlock Arca would be required.

There is a 1/4 20 thread on the bottom.. so it should do any thing you need. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must have item *by S***H on October 31, 2025* used in on the Nikon d850 with the hand grip works the best i think today they issued a better version of this product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty much the definitive way to lock your tether cable down. *by S***R on April 1, 2019* I had been using TetherTool's "Jerkstoppers" for a little while, and though they worked well enough, I still didn't feel totally comfortable with this little dangly piece of plastic attached by a little tiny thread.
