Lens Collar vs L-bracket

[@ellenduperret9640]

This was a VERY helpful video. I had purchased the Sunwayfoto lens collar for my Sony camera, but had no idea how to put it together as the directions were not helpful. Thanks for saving me lots of aggravation! Great video!!!

[@AleRodrigues]

I’m glad it was useful! Thank you

[@jannarkiewicz633]

Thanks... I'm about to pull the trigger on the Ulanzi but I'm making sure it "saves time" -- you helped convinced me :-)

[@AleRodrigues]

You’re welcome

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

If you are going to use for video on a gimbal don't do it, is almost impossible to balance

[@erichstocker8358]

The beauty of the ATOLL is that it has a peak design clip adapter built into the plate.

[@PIRRYLATT]

I wish this could be used on my Canon 1D X but the distance between the base of the camera to the centre of the lens mount is 80mm.

[@AleRodrigues]

Yeah, a bummer, too bad they don't expand the options for larger cameras and lenses

[@JimEmbury]

Nice. Thank you.

[@grandpixweddingstudio7959]

Very helpful thank you

[@AleRodrigues]

You're welcome

[@Ron-noR]

Interesting. Thanks for share your knowledge

Mamiya came up with the revolving tripod mount years ago for their 645 Pro camera.

[@gbv360]

Ale, voce disse que o encaixe é Swiss Arc, mas diz que funciona em qq tripe, como usaria num Manfrotto que nao é Swiss Arc? Sempre quis usar um L-bracket mas nunca achei um para usar nos meus manfrottos. Abraços .'.

[@AleRodrigues]

Isso mesmo, na verdade no encaixe você consegue colocar 2 tipos de rosca ao invés de deslizar no encaixe arca-swiss. Existem adaptadores da Manfrotto para L-bracket

[@rafavvp1]

Ale, você vai fazer um vídeo usando este colar em campo? Gostaria de saber se ele dá uma boa estabilidade com lentes como a 24-105.

[@Centurionphoto]

Any idea which one I have to buy for Nikon d810?

[@AleRodrigues]

I would go for the bigger one, the LS-75, because the LS-63 is mostly for Sony Cameras/lenses

[@eadolfoq]

Top Ale, ótima indicação.

[@AleRodrigues]

Valeu 😀

[@mark1hancock]

Looks like you can center your camera a lot better than the Atoll system but the website doesn't acknowledge my camera (Olympus OMD EM1) so could be a gamble if it fits or not. Wish they updated to show all compatible cameras.

[@AleRodrigues]

I agree, at least they should’ve included the main dimensions, this way it would be easy to see if fits. Such a shame

[@jackmann8896]

Hi Mark, I have purchased the NiSi W72 for my OM5. It fits well.

[@mark1hancock]

@@jackmann8896 G’Day, funny that is exactly what I ended up with, the Australian reps also suggested NiSi W72 working well 👍

[@jackmann8896]

@Mark Hancock the wide zoom is a bit tight, but fits. Hope it works well for you

[@scaramella21]

How can i use it with a battery grip?

[@AleRodrigues]

I don’t think it is possible

[@TheJoshuaCarter]

It should be stated that Atoll was not the first company to come up with this idea. The first was the RR-110 by a Japanese company called K-ASTEC.

[@AleRodrigues]

Thank you for the info!

[@fernandoteixeira2391]

Boa tarde Ale. Quero parabenizar pelo ótimo vídeo e pela dica. Agora tenho uma pequena duvida, esse colar server para quem usar o adaptador RF da Canon?

[@AleRodrigues]

Serve sim, ele monta na câmera e não na lente ok?

[@fernandoteixeira2391]

@@AleRodrigues obrigado pela resposta e muito bom saber que esse Colar pode ser usado junto com o adaptador RF :)

[@trajetoempresarial]

Olá Alê, Esse colar serve na 70-200 F/4? Estou fazendo um up grade de lentes e achei interessante pensar neste colar.

[@AleRodrigues]

Até serve sim, mas veja a possibilidade de adquirir o colar específico desta lente

[@TheNeighborDominator]

Can this fit on a panasonic s5?

[@AleRodrigues]

I can’t tell for sure, but if you look at the smaller size it might fit

[@projecthikaribyrhg]

Hi. By any chance. Have you tried mounting a 70200 on the canera with the lens ring attached?

[@AleRodrigues]

Yes! It worked just fine on a 70-200 f/4

[@projecthikaribyrhg]

@AleRodrigues thanks for the info mate. Great help. Cheers and more power to the channel

[@AleRodrigues]

@@projecthikaribyrhg You're welcome! I don't think the 70-200 f/2.8 would fit though...

[@projecthikaribyrhg]

@AleRodrigues I only have the f4 version so that's okay. The only problem I have now is I cant find anyone selling this exact product here in the Philippines 😅🤣😆

[@aldintv1]

Does it work with sony a6000 and Sigma 16mm f1,4?

[@AleRodrigues]

I haven’t tested it on this combination, bear in mind that the lens diameter should not be larger than the Lens collar diameter.

[@euadrianopacelli]

Boa!! Ale, pelo que entendi é um dispositivo universal. Certo? Eu tenho uma Canon RP com lente do kit (24-105) e gostaria de saber se você acha que este do link do aliexpress serve para mim. Muito obrigado e parabéns pelo vídeo! :)

[@AleRodrigues]

Sim, é universal. No seu caso pode usar o link e selecione a opção LS-75. Abraços

[@simofreelance]

I prefer to stay with L-bracket, this tool is quicker you use 1 Lens, but when you change lenses (my situation) it's wayy slower and then L-bracek, it's even annoying .

[@johnanthonycolley3803]

Yes, ageed. ( especially on a A-Mount body ) Would be really useful in a situation where switching lenses during a session is a rare event..

[@egestroem]

It's funny how atoll and now tons of copycats are promoting this thing as new. It not, I bought mine more than 10 years ago from an unfortunately unknown brand called ""custom brackets". Check it out. They did the "atoll" on a monopod (steady pod), and later had more success with the same idea but as a flash bracket. But if is just all the same

[@AleRodrigues]

Yeah there are a lot of copycats today, thing is test it and see if works. Well durabilitywise I can’t speak of just yet. But I will take a look on your recommendation . Thanks

[@patrickmackay741]

It's very good but it doesn't work (neither this one nor the other brands like NISI ) with all lenses because of the diameter of some lenses (50-140 FUJIFILM / 16-55 Fuji) ...

[@AleRodrigues]

Unfortunately not. I think they should have a larger size for larger lenses diameter, I believe the same apllies to GF-X lenses too

[@daviddyephotography]

not for me. too much of an obstruction around the lens for fine tuning focus, lens changing and easy carrying

[@johnanthonycolley3803]

Same for me

[@nebulabass]

Why do you need this? I thought lens collars are for big heavy lenses.

[@AleRodrigues]

To keep the lens axis on the center, better productivity on comercial architecture photography, due to fast change from landscape to portrait mode, while keeping the composition

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

You explain this in the wrong side hahaha , thanks for sharing

[@AleRodrigues]

Hahaha, I’m glad you found it helpful!
