Can I shoot Macro almost at the floor level with this tripod ?

I would assume so, the legs spread out almost to a 90 degree angle so you can get pretty low. Also the neck of the tripod flips to a 90 degree angle so it would be great for doing copy work as well. I hope this helps.

Yes. It's a great tripod for that. That is exactly why I purchased this tripod.

It depends on the camera. My Canon is too heavy and the tripod tips over when bent to such a degree.

Yea you can. It has a notch to be able to rotate the ball for vertical pics. Just my opinion, but I loved the gorilla pod for my point and shoot but don't really care for this version for my D5300. You're really better off with a decent, small tripod.

Yes, you must have some weight hooked in the bottom of the column tripod to avoid shake. A camera bag works well as weight.

yes but that is not reccomended. if you are holding it with your hands instead of tripod mounting it its lack of mobility will have you dead real quick

Yes you can. It has a bottom where it can screw right in and use on the tripod.

You can flip in middle rod over and have it an inch or two above the ground. I absolutely love this tripod! It's heavy but heavy equals quality.

It must be relatively level so tilting will not work, but no worries, you do not need the tripod either. Just place the tool on any level surface of the appropriate height.

so sorry its taken me this long to answer-you've probably already bought this--minimum ht. of the platform is more along the lines of 30 inches with the tripod legs in a relatively stable position--26 inches puts you at the middle adjustment knob--if your chair is 26 inches high you would be alright

No. Unless you mount the Gorilla Pod to a fence post or handrail or something like that. But as far as placing the tripod on a table or a flat surface goes, no, it cannot rotate all the way to a vertical orientation without tipping over due to being top-heavy.

Yes. Wonderful Tripod. Very sturdy and functional. A bit heavy but for macro and telephoto work it's justwhat you want. I highly recommend this series for the pro and adv. shooter.

The right answer is yes, but take into consideration that the tripod included is very small, maybe 4-5 inches tall.

Yes it can. If you go to the the Dolica website, they show a picture of this tripod with the center pole reversed and the camera and ball head underneath allowing you to shoot at ground level.

Yes, the column can slide along its length. However, if you are using the offset mode with a heavy camera and extend the column fully, you will want to use a stone bag or some other source of weighting to keep the tripod from tipping over.

Yes. You might want to buy a sturdier one later, though. Not a bad tripod, just not the best.

For portability I like the flexible Gorillapod which can wrap around poles or tree branches. For on-the-floor tripods look for one the best height for you. They come in a variety of lengths and if you are very tall the 61" will be uncomfortable and/or annoying for long shooting sessions.

I would definitely use a tripod if your are sliding shots that you want to be higher than ground level. I would recommend that you use 2 tripods for extra stability.
