- A comparison between the 3 Legged Thing ZELDA (with additional Peak Design clip) Vs ELLIE PD (built in Peak Design Clip). What's the difference between Ellie Peak Design L-Bracket and the Zelda L-Bracket with added on Peak Design base plate? This is the video to watch and find out. I also look at the Universal L-Bracket from 3 legged thing, so you can weigh up all your options.

Really thorough review! Glad I found it and thanks for the great info 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Now I know which one I’m going with
Awesome John. Thanks for sharing that.
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.
Great review and demonstration Ralph. Hope all is well down there mate!
Cheers Paul. Wanted to speak into a gap that no one has addressed. Thanks mate.
Great video. Very helpful. I have the Zelda and have been thinking about a PD capture clip and a BlackRapid strap.
Thanks so much. They’re really clever are t they, the different clip options, that is.
Thanks so much for this detailed review. I have wondered if this was a possibility. I will have to check into how compatible it would be for a D850.
Thanks so much Charlene. I really appreciate it.
Looking forward to the review of the butter knife. I've got a Zelda and really like it. Just wish they were less expensive.
Hahahaha it’s gonna be a doozy!! It’s so good but they are very expensive compared to what Ulanzi are working on and Small Rig have created.
I’ve got the Ellie PD on my Sony A7R III and is brilliant with the Peak Clip and all my Peak bags lol Good vid bro.
That’s awesome to hear man. Do you leave a gap between your camera body and the bracket? Thanks mate!!
Thumbs up review :-) enjoyed it.
CAVU!
Cheers Bob. Much appreciated mate.
Ha! 3 Legged Thing was on my FB before I checked this video out. Crazy 😝 they have some good stuff.
Haha they’re listening lol they have some great stuff as do Peak Design.
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!
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.
Wish they do a built-in version for Zelda bracket. That would be perfect and it will never need to come off.
Built onto the Nikon body??
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
I' pretty sure you can remove those pegs can't you?
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….
They don’t move. They’re really secure once you bolt them in 👍
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’m pretty sure the adapter didn’t cause extra interference. I think it was just not a great fit.
The dual slot camers mounting holes are a stupid idea, neither are in the centre so it's impossible to get the arca swiss directly under the lens
It is fairly annoying isn’t it?
What L bracket for c100 besides small rig 1703 as that is discontinued
I’ve never used a c100 but the 3 legged thing universal may be a good fit. You could contact them and ask them. 👍
Its really nice, but 70$ is juicy 😅 Any recomendation for a bit budget friendlier L-bracket? (For Nikon with a mirror)
Maybe try SmallRig: www.smallrig.com?afmc=3dh
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?
Let me check when I get home so I don’t give you the wrong advice. It’ll be about a week?
@@RalphMayhewPhotography That sounds good, Thanks for your help.
@@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.
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Thank you so much!
Can smallrig’s L bracket be attached to peak design’s plate?
Small rigs or three legged thing?
Engineering wise the fewer joints you have in a system, the better, so the Ellie PD version is the one to go for.
Fascinating. What do you mean by ‘points’?
@@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.
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?
Not sure which pins you’re talking about sorry. I’d recommend the Zelda easy if you’re shooting with a Z6.
Now they must solve the problem with the camera's that have tilting screens....
Wouldn’t that be nice 👍
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.
My screen on the Z5 & Z6 works fine with the l-bracket on 👍
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Yes, your Nikon has a tilt screen. My Canon and Olympus both have flip out screens that cannot be rotated with the typical L bracket like the ones you demonstrate.
@@stewartlogie oh I see. Yep that’s useless of them then.
Apple software and aesthetics + Nikon ergonomics and lens mount = Best camera ever!!!!!!!
👊 it’s a nice set up 🙌
do you say snoted or fucked a very amateur rekorded sound
What? That doesn’t even make sense.
This cost to much for a metal bracket.
That’s quite true. Although having used mine every day since buying it and it making life so much easier I have conceded it’s actually worth it 🤷🏼♂️
