MOTIVATION

I'm a professional photographer and I designed this to support tethered shooting with the Canon EOS R5 Mark II in a studio situation. I had a lot of issues with the cable coming loose or damaging my USB cables because of the tight wrapping required by the OEM cable protector. I created this for my own use, but since it took a lot of effort I thought I'd offer it for sale to the community. The images are for reference and the listing does not include the pictured camera or cable.

OVERVIEW

This cable guard is for use on the Canon EOS R5 Mark II. It is 3d printed in high quality PET-G plastic and will protect your camera's USB-C and HDMI ports and keep your cables from coming loose. This tethering solution replaces the OEM one and does not require looping the cables which can damage them. The cable clamp is held in place with a set screw and it's strong enough that I can lift the camera by the cable. This cable protector will fit most USB and HDMI cables. The metal grub screws help to keep smaller plug sizes centered in the opening. I'll include two styles of set screw: one is low profile but requires an 11mm hex socket to tighten and the other is a larger knurled knob that can be tightened by hand. The hex head screw allows for greater access to the other ports while the knurled knob style is easier to tighten with just fingers. A screw to hold the tether block is also included or you can use the screw that came with your camera, they will both fit.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• 1x tether block that will fit most USB-c cables including the one from tether tools and nine-volt
  

• 2x set screws with a hex head

• 2x set screws with a knurled head for finger tightening

• 2x 1/4-20 metal grub screws for centering smaller plug sizes

• 1x main screw that screws into the camera body (the OEM screw that comes with the camera also works fine)
