Paul,

I don't know if it will fit your specific needs, but I went with the 3 Legged Thing "Ellie" L-bracket. Just be aware that I have a completely different camera setup from yours so you may have to check out video/written reviews to make sure it fits your needs. My Canon cable connection is on the front of the camera, so I can snake the cable through the space between the bracket and camera.


I have seen it. There’s a used one from B&H. Does the “Ellie” fit the BH-40 ball head?

It fits the BH-30 perfectly so I would assume the specs for the BH-40 are the same, just different knobs.


Additionally, if you go to the 3 Legged Thing website, they are listing the Ellie for $62(edit) USD, so I would just buy new from the company. I did and they are awesome to work with.

Before I do that I want to check that the Ellie for the D750 leaves sufficient room for the top left-hand accessory cover to open.

Yes, I highly encourage you to do that....lol

For me it does impede some access to the side panel, but I never use that on my camera so I had no issues.

I have just heard from RRS. They are going to supply me with the custom plate and likely offer a return for the MC-L plate. So all resolved and good news!

Yes, it was great to hear from RRS. Likewise, I think the tripod and ball-head are superb!
