Yes, it has a hinge on it that if you loosen the screw a bit it is possible. Its not IMPOSSIBLE.

The hinge on mine (Aug 2014) tilts up/down, no screwdriver required. Highest position is straight ahead, not sure on the lowest.

The camera is in a fixed position. Pointing froward with a slight downward tilt. It can't be adjusted it is fixed.

No it's not. It does tilt up and down but not 90'. You would need the Phantom 2 Gimbal for that.

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.

No, it is a stationary camera. It can be adjusted to whatever angle you want.

No to both. This helocopter is very light weight and not meant for handling anything other than itself. If you want a device that handles a camera, get one of the quad copters that are available. Some of those even come with a camera on-board.

Yes, it does tilt. It swivels up/down a little bit (which can be annoying). You may need to place some sort of wedge between the camera body and the mount to keep it where you want.

Yes, as long as you are using a the tripod, you can tilt it straight down. If you find the tripod too flimsy, the connector/holder will attach to a regular tripod. I have the Samsumg Nexas S with the heavy duty case and found the stand was too flimsy. ( I already have two other tripods)

This camera is an standard picture zise my be 60 % but will not be good for any thing but taking video by hand olnly because is not one button shut, is some difficult. Tray to by a camera made for droms o copters at about $ 25 dollars .Good luck.

It will if you have your camera level or pointed up slightly. Also if you make any aggressive movements, as the gimble will keep the camera level and either the landing gear and or props will show up. I fly FPV through my GoPro so can see this and can tilt the camera down slightly via the gimble and correct the problem. Also at this setting fly gently no aggressive manoeuvres and you should be ok. Try some test shots, it's the best way to see what works best for you.....Jim H.

Sort of. You can position it so that the mount would be connected to the underside of an overhang, but the camera would be 90 degrees off. The camera can rotate around the base 360 degrees, and then the camera can tilt maybe 60 degrees ,so it probably will do what you want in some form or another. This isn't a big deal - I think there's a software option to spin the image, and most security video recorders have the ability to do that as well. But you'll "lose" (or gain, depending on what you are pointed at) a few pixels because the rectangle of view will be 90 degrees out of phase. So I'd say "Yes, you can" with a minor caveat.

you will need a controler with available channels, and a reciever connected to the gimble for tilt and roll. then you can control up, down, side to side (or roll) . There are other ways to accomplish this too. My best answer would be to search youtube using DJI, Blade350qx, or cheep EBay gimble, tons of information there.

No. Very very light drone. And not very reliable to begin with so putting an expensive camera on it would be like throwing it away.

I would think that you could attach a camera. It is a good sized helicopter and if the camera is not really heavy then I should think that you could.

I do not know off hand. But I wonder if you could turn the camera so that is is upside down

Hi, The antenna on the camera can swivel 360 so could lay flat down if you have the space. John.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your question. The DVC60 can have a manual tilt added to the crane which will allow you to manually tilt the camera plate but it will only tilt 76 downward. To get a 90 angle we offer a 90 bracket that attaches to the camera plate that points the camera straight down to achieve that true overhead shot.
