Tethering GoPros for Racing Compliance: A Stainless-Steel Tether Makes a Big Difference

Tethering GoPros for Racing Compliance: A Stainless-Steel Tether Makes a Big Difference

In motorsport, every detail counts. Safety, compliance, and performance are non-negotiable, and sometimes the difference between passing scrutineering and being sidelined comes down to the smallest components. That was exactly the case for Torque Performance, who recently needed to tether their GoPro cameras to a race car — a requirement to pass official inspection. 

The solution? A simple but highly effective product: our Stainless Steel 30cm Tether with Loop End (Adjustable). Though small, this tether delivered exactly what was needed: a reliable, durable connection that kept expensive equipment safe while meeting the strict safety standards required for racing. 

Why This Tether Works So Well 

1. Premium Stainless Steel Construction

The tether is made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring maximum durability and resistance to corrosion. In the high-vibration, high-stress environment of motorsport, this strength is crucial. Unlike cheaper alternatives, it won’t snap, rust, or fail under pressure — giving teams like Torque Performance confidence that their cameras will stay secure no matter the conditions. 

2. Adjustable Length for Versatility

Measuring 30cm, this tether comes with a fully adjustable loop end. That flexibility means it can be customized for a range of applications, whether it’s tethering a camera to a roll cage, a piece of equipment, or another fixed point. It’s a solution that adapts to your needs without requiring complicated installation or modification. 

3. Secure Loop End Design

The loop end is not just convenient — it’s designed to provide a secure, tight connection every time. Whether you’re attaching to a car frame, a tripod, or another anchor point, the loop ensures the tether won’t slip or loosen. This feature is critical when compliance standards demand that every camera or device is properly tethered and secured. 

4. Compact Yet Strong

While the tether is lightweight and compact, its strength is impressive. It’s engineered to handle significant tension without bending or deforming, meaning it can safely hold even heavier cameras or equipment in demanding environments. This makes it a practical tool for engineers, photographers, or teams needing a dependable tether solution in tight spaces. 

Small Components, Big Impact

Though it sits at the bottom of our value offering, this tether demonstrates a core principle of engineering: even the smallest components can have a major impact. For Torque Performance, it ensured compliance, protected their equipment, and allowed them to focus on what they do best — preparing cars for the track. 

It’s a reminder that solutions don’t always need to be complex to be effective. Sometimes, reliability, precision, and quality materials are all you need to get the job done right.
