Ellie can be used as a type of rocker mount
on a tripod’s ballhead. To use as a rocker,
remove vertical aspect, attach to base
plate to create a downward L shape,
tighten all screws in place.
On tripod, position the ballhead with the
clamp in portrait position. Attach Ellie to your
camera or lens mount, then clamp Ellie’s
vertical aspect to the tripod head with the
base plate and camera upright. Maintain a
firm hold on the camera until Ellie is securely
tightened in place.
DO...
Choose the right slot in the base plate for
your camera.
Position the space in the vertical aspect
to best accommodate cables attached
to the side ports.
Use the slots at the top of the vertical
aspect, and the end of the base to
attach your camera strap.
Use the ¼”-20 threads in the top of the
vertical aspect to attach accessories like
accessory arms, microphones and lights.
DON’T...
Do not attach single-mount sling straps to
the vertical aspect of the L-bracket.
Do not use the L-Bracket without first
tightening the screws in the base plate
and vertical aspect, and checking the
camera is secure.
Do not let go of your camera when
attaching to tripod, until you are sure it is
secure.
