Thank you for your share! This is what I have been looking for! I ordered it!

Greetings Emilie and thanks so much for sharing this info about the atoll system! I use the OM-1 and OM-D M E1 Mk III cameras. I visited the website and after further review, discovered the atoll D mount has an extended mounting plate to position the ring further out from the camera grip, so I picked up the D ring and heightening plate to give them a try. I my go ahead and pick up a C also. After all, the cost of two rings and mounts is practically the same as a high end L Bracket. I'm believing either will work. Thanks again and Cheers for 2023!🍷🍷🌹

Appreciate you for showing the compatibility with the peak design travel tripod. Answered all my question about it and solidified my purchase.

Thank you Emilie for this interesting clip. I got my OM-1- and truly enjoy using it. I'm not entirely sold on the Atoll yet, even though I have a (horrid!) L-bracket that has all the issues you mentioned. I'm not sure I can get my fingers through to the function buttons to the right of the lens mount and changing lenses might also be a little difficult. I don't have huge, meaty hands either. That said, I love it when someone takes a refreshing perspective to an existing problem, so kudos to the crew at Atoll. I'm not saying "No" as yet, but it's almost AUD$200 and my financial controller (wife) has the final veto. That focus bracketing sheet is very, very welcome too. So thank you.

Hello Emilie. Thanks for your video presenting an interesting product. Personally I have an L-bracket on my EM1 Mk3 from RRS. It is on all the time so that whenever I need it it's there, independent of the lens I use. No problem with the screen or port access also. Having said that I always appreciate your videos, many thanks for all your efforts and sharings.

I'm about to receive an OM-1 today and have been frustrated with L-bracket issues with my EM1-III. I personally don't like using the ball-head notch for portrait mode. I just ordered your version of the Atoll C with heightening plate. I watched your handling of this model and it seems fine and a great solution. Thanks for this!

Thank you Emilie. The Atol looks great from what I can see and I love the ease of rotation. However, I do use my Lfn button on my lenses for my landscape photography and I noticed the ring blocks my access to that. They are on the right track though. Great video.

interesting! i have no use for one but i do appreciate new ideas. thanks!

A great product for use on a still day. In high wind though the flexibility in the system means that there is a lot of camera shake.

Merci Jean Christophe. Bonne année à vous aussi.

l like the Alzo flip bracket. And it does not block access to the side. I use the one with the umbella and flash bar so I can use move the flash to one side on the camera instead of straight above. It is just quicker and easier. It can be used handheld or on a tripod.

Just came across your video on this. I got the Atoll a while ago for my OM-1 & Em-1 series bodies specifically for use on astro tracking mounts when using any lens that doesn't have its own tripod collar. This avoids using a ball head on top of the declination bracket, and simply adds camera rotation which is all you want. Other than the known grip size problem preventing full rotation, the Atoll works well for my purpose. For general photo use mounted on a ball head, I'm not so sure about it being any easier to use compared to a basic L-bracket, except for the port access issues. I think of the Atoll more as a tripod collar that's on the body, not the lens, if that makes sense.

Nice video Emilie, I am looking to get one in the near future for my Sony A74 , my friend purchased one for his Nikon and loves it and is in Japan right now with it and he's getting many questions from the local people about it. 👍

Pretty cool. I want one.

Hi Emilie. This looks like a superb product, which is actually quite reasonably priced. I paid about $100 for my Smallrig cage for the OM-1, and I bought it without paying attention to the fact that there was no side arca swiss fitting. I love that the Atoll will let me keep the cage attached while using the Atoll! Very cool. The only problem is that I can’t find anyone in the UK right now that has the Atoll available. Oh well, I will be patient. Thanks for bringing this great product to my attention.

Like you I don't like an L bracket. I would not use it the vast majority of the time as I am handheld, and would resent the extra weight and bulk. I've also thought the portrait vs landscape orientation is not as important for m43 as the image fairly close to square (unlike FF 3:2) and you can recrop in post. I do have an L bracket that will attach to Peak Design plate if I really need. This device is interesting, but seems large for m43. Also it blocks the lens switches.

Could you update the notes with all the spacers etc to get this to work with the OM-1 since the site does not seem to list the camera as compatable, but I could have miss read.

I always enjoy your videos Emilie and I am grateful to the link to Chris McGinnis' site. But with respect to the ATOLL system, ouch! It costs $3,500 to set up your OM1 with the ATOLL. For the same cost or less, I could buy a new OM1 camera complete with any M.Zuiko lens, less the three that come with their own rotating collars. Better yet I would be more than one third of the way to paying for a 150-400. Now that could make a real difference in my photography.

I am also an OM-1 shooter and have been frustrated in not being able to find a good L-bracket solution. But the Atoll solves everything! I have a couple of questions, though: My tripods are Manfrotto and they use their own proprietary mount (not Arca-Swiss). Their type of mount is clearly not compatible with the Atoll which looks like it has an Arca-Swiss mount. Is this true? If so I can easily convert my Manfrottos to Arca-Swiss. The other question is about the correct model of Atoll I need for the OM-1. On your video info you say you have the Atoll C + Heightening Plate but on the Atoll website it specifies the Atoll D + Heightening Plate for the OM-1. It states that this solves the problem of being able to fit your fingers around the OM-1's grip when the Atoll is fitted. But on your video you say you can still get your fingers around your grip even with the Atoll C + Heightening Plate. So are you sure you have the Atoll C and not the Atoll D? Because I want to be sure to order the right one? Thank you for your video and your help answering my questions.
