If you’ve ever tethered on a professional set, you already know: The weak point isn’t the cable itself. It’s the patchwork of fixes we build around it just to keep it from moving.
Clamp plates. Gaffer and even blue tack. Cumbersome L-mounts that protect the port.
Systems that require tools just to switch cables or move between rigs.
All of that, just to hold one connection in place.
More security shouldn’t mean less mobility
In theory, a tether plate is meant to hold your cable and protect your ports.
In practice, most of them slow everything down:
– The cable gets sandwiched between the plate and camera.
– Portrait grips become awkward to hold in your hand.
– You need to attach an additional tripod plate to the tether plate.
– Swapping cables means disassembling the whole setup.
When a photographer wants to go handheld mid-shoot—or the pace picks up—this kind of system breaks under pressure.
Pantera was designed to stay out of your way
We didn’t want another bulky bracket. We wanted a tool that integrates seamlessly—without asking anything from you.
Pantera Plate secures the cable using a precision-machined set of teeth set up like a clam cleat within the body of the plate. It holds the cable firmly, without crushing it or interfering with your gear, and the more you pull, the more it holds.
– No need to detach the plate from the camera.
– No loss of compatibility with Arca, tripod, or handheld rigs.
– No awkward weight distribution
– No stress on the cable
It’s CNC machined from anodised aluminium, with smooth lines and a slim profile/
It doesn’t change how the camera feels in your hand—if anything, it comfortably in the palm of your hand.
What actually changes on set
– You can switch from tripod to handheld instantly
– Cable swaps are fast and easy
– No extra hands needed to change a cable
– Your grip stays clean and ergonomic
– You stop thinking about the cable altogether
