Maintain the life of your camera's data port and cable with the Tether Tools TetherBLOCK Arca Quick Release Plate. This plate allows you to mount your camera on to a 1/4-inch-20 threaded video head or tripod while connected to a computer. The QR plate has multiple routing channels to hold your USB, fiber wire, and HDMI cable without causing strain. The grooves prevent incorrectly angled detachment of your cables from the data port to protect it from damage while you are shooting handheld or with a tripod. The aluminum-alloy construction translates into durability, and the non-slip rubber pads keep the plate from moving once tethered.
