USB-A Compatible Cable for the Sony a7 V

Up to 5 Gbps transfer speed
Eliminate USB 3.0 Connectivity Issues

The TetherBoost Pro System provides consistent power to maintain a stable connection for tethered image transfer when using a DSLR or medium-format digital back system connected to a computer via USB 3.0 cables. This streamlined solution alleviates current frustrations among photographers experiencing dropped signals when shooting with USB 3.0 cameras and computers.

For lengths over 15 feet, we recommend using the both the TetherPro USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Active Extension Cable and TetherBoost Pro Core Controller. You will most likely need a TetherBoost Pro in this setup.
