Tether Tools have announced that they will be assuming exclusive manufacturing, global sales, and distribution of TetherBlock products. Created by professional photographer David Blattel, the TetherBlock is a well-designed solution that helps tethering cables stay connected and secure. The TetherBlock’s patented cable-channeling design prevents accidental removal of a cable from the camera's data ports by routing a USB, FireWire, or HDMI cable through the TetherBlock’s S-channel. From there, a photographer can either shoot hand held or attach the TetherBlock to their camera's tripod mount or with the TetherBlock Arca, directly to an Arca Swiss compatible tripod. “I originally created TetherBlock to solve a challenge I had in my own photography work,” Blattel says. “I never intended it to replace my photography career. Tether Tools is the premier provider of tethering solutions and TetherBlock will reach many more photographers through their efforts than I could through my own.”

Tether Tools® Announces Exclusive Agreement to Manufacture, Sell and Distribute the TetherBlock®

[Phoenix, Arizona] – September 26, 2017 – Tether Tools®, the leader in providing innovative equipment and accessories for tethered photography, announces that the company will be assuming exclusive manufacturing, global sales, and distribution of TetherBlock® products.

One of the photography industry’s most reliable cable management tools for tethered photography, the TetherBlock, created by professional photographer David Blattel, is a well-designed solution that helps tethering cables stay connected and secure.

Camera data ports are fragile and expensive to repair. When shooting tethered in-studio or on location, a trip or tug can cause a photographer’s tether cable to become dislodged or cause serious damage to a camera’s data ports. Blattel originally developed TetherBlock to solve this common issue and TetherBlock has become a must-have for photographers shooting tethered both hand held or using a tripod.

The TetherBlock’s patented cable-channeling design prevents accidental removal of a cable from the camera's data ports by routing a USB, FireWire, or HDMI cable through the TetherBlock’s S-channel. From there, a photographer can either shoot hand held or attach the TetherBlock to their camera's tripod mount or with the TetherBlock Arca, directly to an Arca compatible tripod.

“I originally created TetherBlock to solve a challenge I had in my own photography work. I never intended it to replace my photography career. Tether Tools is the premier provider of tethering solutions and TetherBlock will reach many more photographers through their efforts than I could through my own,” said Blattel.
