can the center post be inverted for Macro shots

Yes, you can....just tried it out...just unscrew the hook at the end of the center column, release the tension ring and invert the center column. This truly is a nice tripod. Hope that answers your question:)

Yes, there's a piece on the bottom that unscrews and then you pull that whole center column out and inverted it.

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be. I returned mine for a refund

as is? no, if you do the image on your display will be upside down. But if you have a small screwdriver, you can take apart the camera, rotate the camera lens 180* and reseal with a hot glue gun, then reassemble. I did this to mine, and has held up for the last 2 years with no issues. Doing this will most likely void any warranty or anything like that but for $9.99, it was a risk i was willing to take. If you should take on this type of project, do so at your own risk.

Yes. The pistol grip is independent from the quick releases head and the portrait base, so no matter where the grip is, the camera can go to portrait with a simple squeeze. This mounting head is so versatile, it will even hold the camera in portrait in its inverted setting, at the base of the plunge tube of my particular tripod. Excellent for performing macro in the wild.

of course you can! I have done it and it works great, you just have to flip it in post.

Correct; you unscrew the smaller lens to access the macro lens. These lenses are garbage, but to get the desired effect you have to be right on top of the subject you want the picture of.

Click "Preview Photos button". Select photo and press "Menu". Then scroll down to "Rotate". Click "Rotate" and select between "Left" "Right" and "Upside-down". After that all you have to do is post it to social website through the Share Button.

Yes, the wedge is shown here on the T-screw down as this is the storage location when not in use. I have never tried to mount camera directly to post but should work fine as the post has the treaded end. You have no way to adjust if your needing to tilt, pitch or level so I always use the magic arm, but yes it should attach directly and still be able to tighten.

The Legs DO fold out further, so that you can get lower to the ground. If you want to get lower, what you can do is slide up the middle piece all the way up, it comes out. Then you can flip it upside down so that the camera is now between the 3 legs. Sure your photo will be upside down, but that's what the rotate function is for in your photo editor.

no, but changing your F-stop will give you the vignette effect. These rings are a really useful tool for closeups and macro/micro photography.

You could install it upside down - but it is not designed to be installed upside down. There is a rubber piece that sits between the bottom plate and the camera when installed properly. If installed upside down, the metal plate would make direct contact with the camera - no rubber. Additionally, I suspect that the weight of the flash would swing the top plate open. I would not do it.

No they can not or your picture will be upside down try the ball type cameras they swivel and rotate in its case

I would have to say no. If you look at the example pic in the add you can kind of see the soft S shape. Reversing it does not look like it is right. JMHO Secondly, I am not entirely sure how the arm extensions would hold position of slide being upside down. I think you are best checking with the manufactured. The unit is really well made and definitely worth the effort if it can operate the way you want.

Yes. You have the option to flip your image horizontally and vertically in your menu.

Yes. Just like most macro lens extentions there is a fish eye effect. Zooming in will bring it down some but the lens is curved to create the effect so it will take digital altering in the end for a non-warped image.

Yes! You screw it off completely! It shows up blurry if you're trying to take normal pictures, but when you angle the camera close to something, its supposed to focus and look zoomed in! Keep trying, or look up info about macro lenses!
