Can you use it upside down for low angle shots, like move the handle down. when weighs are up and the camras on bottom? (ik dumb question)

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

The camera is upside down when the mount is first shipped. When you disconnect the connecter from the mount to the camera, you can flip it so the camera is right side up. It's fairly simple.

It could be a great fit for that, depending on how much room you have and what angles you're using for the shot. The hand crank can move the camera up and down about a full foot, so that is nice for fine tuning the height without having to adjust the legs. The locks for both axis work well, too, so it will stay wherever you place it for a solid shot.

providing you don`t plan to stand the shorter stick is ideal. I use mine for handgun hunting however the rifle works as well, but it would not work for any standing shots.

No, you get a little back blast. If you want I'm sure you could install it upside down, but it would make your muzzle jump a bit. I found also that this muzzlebrake increases accuracy by a noticeable amount.

Heya! First of all, my thinking is that your better off making your own, it will be superior and cost you under ten bucks. That being said, I don't think you would need an offset plate, there is enough forward and backwards room to move your camera to get the desired stabilization without adding to it's length. I would recommend however a quick release. It is an absolute B*tc# to take the camera off and on quickly, because you have to re-stabilize the whole thing each time, plus their nice to have especially when you are running on a few different tripods and or stedi cam set ups. You can get the offset plate, but I would only get it to add weight, which you can do easily by adding weight to the bottom and adjusting it left and right accordingly. WD-40 the ball joint regularly, buy the quick release (make sure it will fit your camera), consider the offset plate as added weight and perhaps it may give you a bit more room to adjust, I don't think it's necessary, only the minutest adjustments affect this thing your not going to need to move around a lot. Experiment adding weight beyond what your camera weighs to the bottom of the MidX and go from there. Good Luck Adam. -Nichole

I havent used it completely upside down, but it has no issues with extreme angles mowing a ditch.

Not sure I totally understand your question, but will answer best I can: the jib keeps the camera level whether it's at top position or bottom position. It tilt's up and down and remains balanced if the correct counter weight is applied. It can also go right to left if you loosen your tripod's pan. So you can go up, down, right, left, and even make diagonal or circle movements if you want. It's pretty sweet to be able to have something up high or way low in the foreground then tilt up while panning and get something driving by on a wide or something. The jib is great. It's American made too, so not in a sweatshop, which is always nice. I took it with me on a shoot where I had to fly. When I landed on location, I was able to set it up very quickly and get some great stuff.

I have a Tipton gun vice and put the gun in it upside down. If butstock is not attached, any vice will do. I just drilled a hole with cordless drill and ran the stud screw in with small screwdriver to fit in swivel hole. Added super glue to threads for extra strength bond. Been on there a couple years now. Good luck.

I see that this camera mount already requires the camera to be mounted upside down (at least that's what's indicated in the configuration shown in the photograph). Unless you flip the mount around 180 degrees it will only flip up, not down. If you did mount it so it flipped down you'd find it's too close for a decent shot anyway (probably get a shot of your wide eyes and flared nostrils as you head over a cliff but not much more). And yes, if you flipped it either way you would have to correct the image during editing). Also be careful if flipping it down below the helmet as it will then be in the way of your vision and outside of the protection of your helmet. So if you can't see where you're going and take a tumble the camera could well come between your face and the dirt. No easy answer except to say that if the face shot is important, maybe 2 cameras would be the solution, one facing in and the other facing out.

The bracket doesn't have much to do vertical shooting on tripod. As long was the tripod is durable or if you have sandbags to hold the tripod down, there wouldn't be a problem. It has to do with the weight of the camera in addition to the bracket. If the tripod isn't durable, the camera weight will tilt the entire tripod and possibly damage your dslr. Best, TechNeek

it's all about the angle of the shot. You'd have to really try to get the handle in the shot, like sit the camera flat on the bar. It's really not an issue.

I have never tried it for that, but it's worked great for everything I have used it for. I love mine! It'll be heavy, so if weight is a problem, it might make it harder to get action shots in a hurry.

No...im sure you can jerry rig it to work somehow. But they way in swivels it only work with a regular camera in the right position. you cant take pics the long way because the arm will give out and swivel so the camera is on the bottom. it won't hold it upright on the side. if that makes sense

Yes it can be hung upside down.I prefer them that way. Depending on which app you have to view it. I like Mr. Cho 's app. Go to manage camera .then a long press on the camera of your choice with a long press.you will get edit camera. Then to more options (lower left) then you will find rotate and go 180. You may need to invert pan and tilt directions also. All in that window. Note there are three areas to set camera utilities. May take you awhile to find them . but they are there just stay with it . good camera and good app.

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.

Not in a fluid way for shooting. You can adjust the lower arm and that would allow the camera mount to tilt but again not as a fluid movement.
