Pantera Tether Plate

Abstract

A modular camera plate designed for secure cable management and tripod mounting is disclosed. The device comprises a top cover and a bottom cover that, when assembled, form a housing configured to enclose and retain a cable using an integrated set of teeth. The teeth exert a controlled clamping force on the cable, preventing unintended displacement while allowing for intentional insertion and removal. The top and bottom covers are secured together using fastening elements, such as screws, ensuring structural stability while permitting disassembly for cable repositioning. The modular camera plate is further configured to serve as a mounting interface for a camera, allowing attachment to tripods or other support structures. By integrating cable retention within the mounting plate, the invention enhances workflow efficiency, reduces strain on cables and connection points, and prevents accidental disconnections during camera operation.
