The Atoll X + from Silence Corner is an advanced rotating collar designed to enhance the experience of photographers and content creators who often need to switch between horizontal and vertical shooting formats. This device attaches directly to the camera body, allowing for quick rotation from portrait to landscape orientation without the need to detach it from the tripod. This feature is particularly beneficial for landscape, real estate, and studio portrait photographers, as well as content creators who work across different media formats.
Unlike traditional L-Brackets, the Atoll X + facilitates an easier transition between orientations. Simply release the locking knob to rotate the camera. This design not only speeds up the process but also avoids interference with cameras that have fully articulating screens, allowing for unrestricted movement and positioning of the screen.
The Atoll X + includes tactile indicators at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, ensuring precise alignment during rotation. This setup keeps the camera’s sensor centrally aligned within the Atoll, maintaining the center point of your image as you rotate, which is crucial for precise image composition. The device also features rear stabilizers and additional extender clips that prevent it from twisting on the camera, enhancing stability and allowing fine adjustments.
Designed for versatility, the Atoll X + is built from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, making it both durable and lightweight. It attaches to the camera via a 1/4 inch tripod mount and does not obstruct lens changes, enhancing ease of use. The mounting plate offers significant adjustability, making the Atoll X + compatible with a wide range of cameras, including those with built-in grips, battery grips, and even medium format cameras. It can also be used with camera cages.
The Atoll X + is Arca-Swiss compatible, ensuring it works with a broad array of tripod heads and clamps. Its second plate is reversible, providing extensive adjustability to accommodate different camera sizes. With an inner diameter of 90mm, it supports lenses up to this size.
Available in four sizes—Atoll S, Atoll C, Atoll D, and Atoll X—the Atoll series is compatible with a wide range of DSLR and mirrorless cameras from major brands such as Canon, Fujifilm, Leica, Nikon, Olympus/OM, Sony, and Panasonic. For cameras with unique body shapes or smaller dimensions, additional Extender and Heightening plates are available to ensure a perfect fit.
