Our Story

Starting off with a handmade prototype and an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2014, the two founders, Ulrich and Max, turned their vision into reality with the first Tentacle devices launching in 2015. What began as a small idea grew into a global success, with Tentacle Sync now present in over 50 countries and driven by a passionate team of over 19 people dedicated to simplifying filmmaking.

In the beginning we had a small but fine range consisting of our ORIGINAL timecode generator and a handful of adapter cables, which are handmade by us. We now sell over 50 items through our store and our worldwide dealers. Our devices are still manufactured here in our headquarter, the rest comes mostly from within 50 kilometers from Cologne.

What started with a desk in a shared office in the backyard quickly became a real startup after the successful Indigogo campaign. Within a short space of time, with each new employee another desk was rented until Tentacle Sync ended up occupying almost the entire building in a friendly takeover. We were very happy here for many years until we simply ran out of space.
