Base plate (1) can be used as a long Arca-Swiss
quick release plate on its own. Sloped Edge
should be at the back of the camera, with the
rubber pads against the bottom of the camera.
Strap attachment slot to the side of the camera
nearest the hand grip.
Fit the stainless steel mounting screw
(4) into one of the two slots in the base
plate. Select the optimum position to
allow access to the battery or memory
card compartment where possible.
To add the vertical aspect (2), use the
mini tool (5) to loosen the two hex screws
in base of Ellie.

Choose the best position for the space in the
vertical aspect, considering the ports in the side
of the camera.
Pass the extender bars (3) through the holes in
the base of the vertical aspect and screw into
place.

Insert the extender bars (3) into the side of
the base plate. Position the vertical aspect
so it sits against the side of the camera (or
in your preferred position), with side ports
accessible. Tighten the screws in the base to
hold the extender bars rmly in place. The
extender bars should not be able to move
when Ellie is in use.
If access to the side ports is blocked, loosen the mounting screw in the base plate, and
adjust the position of Ellie, forward or backward, for optimal access.

Once you have positioned Ellie correctly for your camera, check the camera
mount screw, extender bars, and base screws are all fully tightened before
use.

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
rm 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 rst
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.
