Manfrotto has been a trusted name in tripod and stabilization systems for decades. With its release of the TetherGear range, Manfrotto expands even further into the studio photography sphere. This collection of products aids the professional photographer in customizing studio space to best suit tethered shooting needs. The TetherGear range includes five products: the Laptop Deck, Mouse Deck, Tablet Holder, VESA Monitor Mount, and VESA Adapter Plate.
Platforms and Holders for Tethered Shooting
Instantly review and edit your photos with clients in the studio with platforms for your laptop and mouse and an adjustable holder for your tablet.
The laptop deck is made of thick aluminum and provides a stable platform on which to place your laptop for tethered shooting. Included anti-slip hardware allows you to secure your laptop in place along the cheese plate surface and avoid jostling while you move around the studio space to get the shot. A 5/8" stud receiver, 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, and Arca-Swiss compatibility at the base of the platform expands your mounting options, from light stands to camera tripods and support arms.
The threaded holes along the laptop shelf can also accept the mouse deck’s mounting screws on either the right or left side for ambidextrous configurations. The mouse deck features a matte surface compatible with infrared technology for accurate performance.
Is your tablet your preferred editing tool? No problem. The tablet holder offers an adjustable mounting option. Compatible with tablets up to 13", the holder features a sliding arm with soft rubber grips at each corner to hold your tablet securely without damaging the edges of the device. 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, Manfrotto and ARRI-style anti-rotation lugs, as well as Arca-Swiss compatibility enable you to attach the mount, on a tripod or articulating arm, for hands-free placement.
VESA Mounting for Improved Monitoring
Accommodate large and small monitors with various VESA patterns thanks to the TetherGear VESA monitor mount and VESA adapter plate and evaluate your photos on the big screen.
Why crowd around your laptop when you can get a better view with a video monitor? Compatible with industry-standard 75mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm VESA mounting patterns, the monitor mount can accommodate most monitors up to 66.13 lb in landscape and portrait orientations with its integrated T-knob. When working with a larger monitor with incompatible VESA holes, simply attach the VESA adapter plate to convert 120mm x 180mm, 180mm x 120mm, 200mm x 100mm, and 200mm x 200mm configurations to the proper pattern for use with the monitor mount. All the necessary hardware and tools are included with the adapter for easy installation.
A ratchet handle allows you to adjust the vertical tilt of the mount for a better visual. Various 3/8"-16 threads and a 5/8"-16 stud receiver enable you to attach reflectors or other studio essentials to the backside of the monitor.
