3 Legged Thing have revealed new versions of the Ellie L Bracket universal bracket system designed to maintain the focal plane and a level horizon when switching from portrait to landscape on a tripod.

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

Joining the original Ellie will be a short version improving battery door access on smaller camera bodies and a version offering unique compatibility with camera clip systems including the Peak Design Capture v3 (a system that allows you to clip your camera to a belt or bag rather than using a strap).

In addition, 3 Legged Thing will also release two standalone base plates, which can be used as a quick release plate on its own offering a wider, stable base for DSLR users. BASE 85 is the original Ellie base plate, sold as a standalone product. BASE 70 is for smaller cameras and can be used to replace the BASE 85 on the Ellie L Bracket.

"It was always the plan to expand upon the Ellie System," explains 3LT Founder & CEO, Danny Lenihan. "The ultimate goal for any universal product is to make it truly universal, so this is a huge step forward."
