Tether Tools JerkStopper Mini Pro Clamp – JS080MC
Product Overview
The JerkStopper Mini Pro Clamp is a cable strain‑relief and anchoring clamp system designed to protect connection points (USB, HDMI, AC etc.) by securing cables to fixed surfaces or supports. It reduces the risk of accidental cable disconnections, wear, or damage to ports. It’s particularly useful in tethered workflows, video/photo rigs, or any setup where cable movement is likely.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Clamp with Threaded Sockets | Lets you attach the system to any flat or round supports, and also attach accessories like arms, brackets etc., giving flexibility in setup. B&H Photo Video+2Polyline Corp+2 |
| Cable Slack / Anchor Point via Thread Mount | Provides a mount point so the cable feeds slack, preventing strain on the connector plug. This greatly reduces risk of damage from pulls or movement. B&H Photo Video+1 |
| Jaw Range | Can clamp onto surfaces (rods, bars, edges etc.) between about 0.5″ to 1.5″ (≈ 13‑38 mm). Allows mounting in many different gear configurations. B&H Photo Video+2Polyline Corp+2 |
| Cable Diameter Supported | Works with cable sizes from ~ 3.5 mm up to ~ 8.5 mm in diameter. Useful for standard USB, HDMI, power cables etc. B&H Photo Video+1 |
| Load Capacity | Rated to hold up to 8.8 lb (≈ 4.0 kg), meaning it can support fairly heavy cables or hanging loads without slipping or failing. B&H Photo Video+1 |
| Thread Mount | Includes 1/4″‑20 male thread mount; also female 1/4‑20 and 3/8‑16 threaded sockets so you can attach other accessories or rotate the mount as needed. B&H Photo Video+1 |

Best Use‑Cases
Use in tethered photography or video setups to relieve stress from connector ports (e.g. USB/em data cables, power cables).
Mounting on light stands, tripod legs, rigs, tables, or edges of set pieces where cables might otherwise pull or get snagged.
Situations with frequent movement, transport, or repositioning—this clamp offers repeatable mounting and reliability.
Applications where maintaining clean, professional cable management is important (studio work, location shoots, events).
Limitations / Things To Be Mindful Of
Clamp range imposes limits: if your mounting surface is thicker than ~1.5″ or thinner than ~0.5″, it won’t clamp properly.
Cable diameter limits: very thick cables (beyond about 8.5 mm) may not fit snugly or at all.
The clamp, though strong, is still external hardware—movement or impacts may transfer force to your gear if not properly supported.
Aluminum & rubber parts can wear, the grip surfaces can degrade with repeated heavy use; periodic inspection is useful.
