You'll be better off using USB-C to USB dongles as they are only a few dollars each which will be a lot easier on your wallet when you break them. Just the weight of a tether cable is enough to bend the USB-C connector let alone someone jerking the cable. ![]() ![]() ![]() As of early 2020, you are still better off using your USB2 or USB3 tether cable with a USB-C adapter for the fact that the USB-C connector is so flimsy that you'll be breaking/bending the connector a lot. So, what does that mean for tethered shooting? First it means you're going to need plenty of dongles because there's a huge mix of USB-A and USB-C devices out there. And anyone with a Android phone will tell you those connectors break and fail all the time. The USB-C connector is about the size and build quality of a USB2 Micro-B connector which is the little connector that most Android phones use to charge. Our initial impression is very mixed as USB-C is a very fast interface (up to 20 Gbps for USB and 40 Gbps for Thunderbolt 3) but the connector itself is very flimsy/frail/non-robust/weak. When Apple introduced the 2016 MacBook Pro, it followed the design of the MacBook and replaced all the ports with USB-C (or what Apple calls Thunderbolt 3) ports. ![]()
