Will this allow me to shoot vertically?

It will allow you to shift a DSLR into a vertical position but will have limited movement in that position. I use an L bracket to shift the camera to the vertical position. Neewer® Black Metal Quick Release L-Plate Bracket Hand Grip for Sony Alpha A7 A7R Fits Arca-Swiss StandardI bought this ballhead because it is compatible with the arca-swiss style quick release.

You bet. I have a pair of them and it works fine. I find it best to tighten the bottom thumb screw when the camera is at a 45 degree angle and then you can move the camera to either vertical position or horizontal position. I have a SB-800 flash that sits on top of the frame with a stretch spring cable connecting it to the top of the camera. That's the main purpose of the frame: to locate the flash above the camera. The other advantage is that it makes the carrying of the camera easy. This is a jewel.

It's a full ball head that will rotate to allow the camera to shoot straight down ... The field of view would be rather small between legs and the height wouldn't give much clearance though.

Yes, but not past the vertical. There is a snubber that you come against when vertical.

It would be very helpful to have a camera mount head that allows for vertical up-and-down focusing. I already had a spare camera mount head that I attached to the monopod.

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.

You can shoot from front of disto or set it to shoot from bottom of disto. If that was what you were after. Not sure if you can adjust for tripod thread.

Yes, for vertical mount. I mounted the smallest one horizontally and I had to add a large hose clamp to secure it.

Yes absolutely! I do recommend buying a ball head along with it like the one on this link: http://amzn.to/1zcLRlp which makes it easy to change the angle in certain shots!

Yes. It only shoots the air as long as you press it. Once you release it it will go back to whatever setting you had on. So press and hold for long shots

The mount will allow you to aim it in any direction except yourself. Editing/flipping will be required depending on mounting position.

It'll work but your going to be fidgeting and adjusting a lot. I'm considering clamping it down for future sight ins. If left on a tabletop it moves with every shot.

If by upright you mean vertical, then yes. However, a magazine cannot be attached while doing so and some special care would need to be taken when cutting out the outline for the rifle. I have a DPMS oracle myself and even though I have a pelican 1750 that carries it, I pulled out my rifle and measured out for this answer. Ultimately, and with an optic, I would have to say yes.

It works find pointing vertically downward. That is exactly how mine is positioned. And, it is pretty easy to install.

Absolutely...just rotate the large adjustment knob on the vertical shaft, adjust to the desired height, and then re-tighten the knob. Easy peezy!

Yes, it can be used vertically so long as what ever you're mounting it to can be configured to support the slider. It has three places where a tripod can be mounted so as long as your tripod has a tilt head, the slider can tilt with it. This slider, for me at least, is a disappointment though. The little rubber feet (meant to keep it still on a slippery surface) wobble so much that I had to take them off. Perhaps It's designed with that option in mind though.

Yes, it could hold the phone vertically if your tripod has a swivel head that can be turned to the vertical. But, I'd be very careful when mounting the phone that way.
