The GoPro Camera Tethers (ATBKT-005) are a simple and effective accessory designed to provide an extra layer of security for your GoPro camera, especially in high-risk or extreme conditions. They are meant to be used as a safety backup in case your primary mount fails.
What's in the box?
The ATBKT-005 kit typically includes:
5 x Adhesive Anchors: These are strong, adhesive-backed mounts that you can attach to a variety of surfaces on your gear (e.g., a helmet, a car, a surfboard, etc.). The adhesive is designed to hold securely.
5 x Tether Straps: These are small, durable tethers that you connect from your camera's housing to one of the adhesive anchors.
How they work:
Attach an Adhesive Anchor: Place one of the adhesive anchors on the piece of gear you're mounting your GoPro to. The adhesive can be removed later by applying heat, like with a hairdryer.
Connect the Tether: Secure one end of the tether strap to the backdoor or a designated tether point on your GoPro camera's housing.
Secure the Connection: Connect the other end of the tether strap to the adhesive anchor you've mounted on your gear.
This creates a safety loop. If your main mount (e.g., a suction cup or a clip) were to detach due to a high-impact event or a strong vibration, the tether would prevent your camera from being lost.
The ATBKT-005 is a recommended accessory for anyone who uses their GoPro in demanding environments, such as during motorsports, watersports, or other action-packed activities, as it can help protect your investment from being lost or damaged.
