can the articulating display swivel to see it from the front, so I can take selfies on a monopod?

Yes it can face forward as well as many other directions. Mono pod? not sure a one legged support will hold the camera unless your going to steady it with your hand somehow while taking the photo.

this would look incredibly silly if you were using it for stills purposes instead of video. To answer your question: yes you can but it's not really the right tool for the job. Look into a monopod instead.

Only if you would like to change the angle of the camera for different shots. The camera will mount flat on the monopod as is but you will not be able to change the angle of your shot. I used my monopod to hold a flash off camera.

a monopod is used to steady the camera. It's an extender pole. The camera is still in a relatively normal position. I guess you could set the timer on the camera and use it to take selfies with.

This is for selfies and walking self video type stuff. A mono pod is much heavier and would be hard to hold at arms length with a camera attached. This is for things like a point and shoot or gopro camera.

Yes you can. The screen also folds out and rotates so you can take photos of yourself and see what you are doing rather than just aiming and hoping.

Not sure if you can, the top of the monopod is the standard screw that attaches it to the Camera/ video camera. The bottom is a single spike/pad.

If the selfie is stationary, any mount will be fine. Set it, aim it (see where it's aimed with the phone app) and snap it - with the phone app. Easier yet - the GoPro 3-Way Arm is a monopod, among other things. You can attach the GoPro to it and bend the arm in such a way as to be able to hold the phone out in front of you and snap the picture (without the arm being seen). Great for walking around video of yourself - interview style. To the viewer it would appear you have a cameraperson in front of you backing up as you walk.

While it can, it's not designed to and it won't look very good either. Just tried it on mine and it felt a bit precarious at best... If you're looking to go portrait I'd say purchase a different stand.

You can tighten the screws at the base of the monopod which would effectively make it more difficult to move it around on its feet. It won't be very smooth for movement, however.

To be honest with you you can't. Sorry. And even if you could the camera would be upside down. The only solution to that is To make a slot on the other side of the oh you can flip it around

Yes there's a joint so you can rotate the camera to give you a normal view no matter how the camera is mounted.

No and why would you? TVs don't have accelerometers on them so your picture would be sideways!

No its not possible to hold on to the grip and place ur camera at the other end. It doesnt have the functionality to do so. This is not one of those monopods that you can take selfies with. And when you mean it can get wet and will not hinder its functions? Then yes

I am sorry I had previously said No you can not turn your phone sideways to capture widescreen. But I was wrong you can mount it landscape or portrait. I hope this helps

Not unless you manually adjust it. It has locking screws to maintain the desired display angle.

I tilted my display about 45 degrees with the camera on, and it tilted the framed picture. So, No. Just a narrower framed picture, but your still "right side up".I'm quite sure there's software out there to manipulate it - I believe evens Windows apps could do it.I'm happy with mine, not going to rotate it, picture is great, and camera does well - just remember, you will need a mike to tele-communicate.Good Luck
