Can the quick release head be rotated 90 degrees, ...

Can the quick release head be rotated 90 degrees, so it can be used with an L-bracket and lens without a lens foot?
Asked by: Dennis
Yes. The receiver plate with the clamp mechanism is screwed to the tilt mechanism. It can be removed to allow rotating the receiver plate in all four directions, with indents on the bottom that line up with the anti-rotation tabs on the top of the tilt mechanism. It's torqued down fairly tight, so you'll need to apply some force to the included Allen key which fits it.

Can the clamp be turned 90º so arca plates are oriented left-to-right instead of front-to-back?
Asked by: Philip
Yes. You may use a hex key to reposition the quick release clamp on the Oben VH-A30 Tilt Head so it may be rotated 90 degrees so the head may be used to tilt the camera left-to-right instead of front-to-back.

Can the quick release be rotated 90 degrees, so ...

Can the quick release be rotated 90 degrees, so one can use this head with an L-bracket (plus lens with no tripod collar)?
Asked by: Dennis
Yes, the receiving plate with the clamp can be removed and reattached in all four directions. There are indentations on the bottom for both front/back or left/right orientation. The Allen wrench included with the head fits the screw holding the receiver/clamp plate to the tilt mechanism. It's torqued down fairly tight so it will take some force to loosen it.

Can this be use with iFootage monopod ?

Can this be use with iFootage monopod ?
Asked by: Kirit
This has the standard 3/8"-16 mounting threads that most tripod and monopods use. While I am pretty certain most of the iFootage monopods come with a 1/4"-20 / 3/8"-16 spring-loaded mounting screw, if for any reason the screw is too small, you are able to simply use a bushing reducer for it to work on almost all systems.

Asked by: Orest
The Oben VH-A30 Tilt Head for Monopods is not suitable for portraits. This is because you cannot turn the head to shoot vertical images.
