✱ Mounting the L-bracket is a common solution for portrait photography, but when you switch from landscape to portrait, you have to remove it from the ball head and mount it again. Additionally, the L-bracket will block the Side-hinged vari-angle screen and shutter release cable.

✱ It’s obviously faster to use the ATOLL then a L-bracket.  💪

✱Just like ATOLL represents a coral reef inhabited by many creatures, There are three models of ATOLL that are also compatible with a variety of cameras.

✱The mounting position of ATOLL is designed to be close to the lens mount, As long as the outer diameter (4) of the lens mount is smaller than the inner diameter (3) of ATOLL, it can be mounted. The reason for this design is that the diameter (4) of the lens mount is usually small, so that we don’t need to design a too large ATOLL.

✱The following video shows ATOLL D works with Canon 5D4+EF 24-70 f/2.8mm II

The outer diameter (4) of the 24-70 f/2.8 II is smaller than the inner diameter of the ATOLL D, which is 75mm, so it can be mounted. Other lenses that can be mounted include the 16-35 f/2.8 L II, 70-200 f/2.8L III (recommended to use its own Tripod Collar).

Each camera has a recommended ATOLL model, choose the appropriate model to achieve the best experience. If you use the ATOLL D on a mirrorless camera, it may not work because the (4′) diameter of the lens is larger than the ATOLL.

✱Although the height of the ATOLL can be adjusted, it is still not compatible with all cameras. Some cameras with a lower body height need to add a Heightening Plate to align the ATOLL with the center of the lens.

✱When used with ATOLL, the camera’s center of gravity will move forward, making it more stable to operate a camera with a long lens on a ball head
