If you get one of these products then intead of knocking the cable out you will drop the camera say you leave it on a table
Use with care - cables come out for a reason
Admitedly some just fall out which of course it a PITA

I shoot 90% of my work in location. Outdoors and indoors. In rain, sun and in snow.
So I need portable solution, no tunnels in studio.
I will lock a short (about 50 cm) cable to bottom of camera and longer extension cable will cut loose from that if/when I stumble.
With Aptus the standard Leaf-cable has 90 deg angle in the FW-plug so that don´t come out easily. Couple of times I have almost dropped the camera from my hands when somebody (me usually) has stepped on cable. It is very tight. Tough desing and best IMHO thinking I´ve seen so far.
That is the case with Aptus.
With ZD the FW-port in back just looks/is very vulnerable so I like to get the possible stress away from there and move it to the connection of the short and long cable.
Canons, well... not better than ZD port. I´m amazed they still work.
