Three Legged Thing launches `Ellie,` a versatile L-bracket for modern camera systems
(Digital Photography Review)

Tripod manufacturer Three Legged Thing has developed a new L-bracket that´s designed to be adaptable to fit a wider range of cameras, and which will allow users to mount their camera in a variety of ways. Called Ellie, the bracket features sliding bars that allow size adjustment, dual Arca-Swiss mounting platforms and additional threads for attaching accessories such as microphones. Ellie is made from `aerospace grade magnesium alloy´ and uses a pair of stainless steel sliding bars that allow users to tailor the length of the baseplate to suit the size of the camera. Two screw threads on the base offer a choice of mounting positions, while an opening in the construction provides space and access when L-shaped cables need to be connected to ports on the camera body. As the position of these cable ports varies from one model to the next the bracket allows four mounting configurations to ensure the cut away section will correspond with ports in as many cameras as possible. The bracket can be dissembled so the base doubles as a quick release plate, and both ends of the vertical standard feature two screw threads that will accept macro arms, flash attachments or audio equipment. Ellie will be available in anodised copper or metallic slate grey color options in mid-March and will cost £64.99 / $69.99. For more information see the Three Legged Thing website.
