Love the advanced tool you used to attach the L-Bracket to the Z6. A butter knife always comes in handy in a pinch

They’re hard to buy these days but if you find one don’t let it out of your sight.

Really thorough review! Glad I found it and thanks for the great info 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Now I know which one I’m going with

Wish they do a built-in version for Zelda bracket. That would be perfect and it will never need to come off.

That’s awesome to hear man. Do you leave a gap between your camera body and the bracket? Thanks mate!!

Engineering wise the fewer joints you have in a system, the better, so the Ellie PD version is the one to go for.

@@RalphMayhewPhotography ‘Joints’ joining/connecting one part to another all joints’wobble’ how’re slightly.So with the non PD bracket you connect the bracket to the camera, then a separate plate to the bracket, then connect that to the tripod, PD plate. With the PD bracket only 2 connections.

Thanks for the insight. But there seems to me that the peak desing plate does not stay aligned with the centre of the camera sensor….

Which of these would you recommend to use on the head of the peak design travel tripod? The tripod has two small pegs which gets in the way when a regular l bracket is fixed to my camera, Z 5

@RalphMayhewPhotography

I' pretty sure you can remove those pegs can't you?

Seems to me one other advantage of the Ellie would be when I want to use a remote cable in portrait. With the Ellie you could extend the arm and connect a cable, with the other two you cannot. Thoughts? Thx for a great overview of these options!

@RalphMayhewPhotography

It’s certainly an advantage. Most l brackets give you access though it’s just a little awkward. I’m pretty sure when doing that I slide the Lbracket across as far as I go, with the Zelda. But if the Ellie suits ur needs it looks like it’s the one.

I can't tell for sure but it looks like the Ellie PD bracket may interfere with the FTZ adapter. Can you confirm that ? Unless you utilize the PD system I feel like the Zelda is a better fit. Thank you, very informative.

I’ve never used a c100 but the 3 legged thing universal may be a good fit. You could contact them and ask them. 👍

Can you use the shutter remote port on a z6ii with the Zelda while in portrait orientation? Also how does the universal bracket fit the z6ii?

@@haydennettleton3272 you can but you need to position the camera and bracket carefully to allow a sliver of access. It does depend on what tripod you’re working with though. It’s not smooth but it is possible. I’ll often just tilt the camera from landscape to portrait, instead of detaching turning and repositioning (when using shutter release).

What do you guys recommend for the A7 i and the A7 ii? I have the A7 i but I might buy the A7 ii

Small rig make great products. Have you had a look at this: www.smallrig.com/smallrig-l-bracket-for-sony-a7-ii-a7r-ii-a7s-ii-2278.html?afmc=3dh The issue with Peak Design L brackets is they are expensive for what they are. Not sure which one would best fit the Sony range though, sorry.

The Zelda is much lighter than the Ellie, at 67g vs 96g. Also, the pin in the Zelda is great when placing the camera in the vertical position to avoid any unwanted rotation of the camera body over the bracket. How does the Ellie do in that regard?

Looks like all of them would block a flippy screen in the landscape orientation. Camera makers keep adding flippy screens to new cameras (to satisfy vloggers I suppose) and L bracket makers continue to ignore the use of their products with such cameras.
