Can I tilt and swivel the head? Does it take digital still photos?

The unit does not swivel it clips to the top of your monitor providing it is thin type. It is basically a video and sound input device so additional software is required to take video, capture stills from the video etc.

You can move it around easily. The head swivels up and down and you can turn the camera side to to side. I have taken and saved both still photos and videos and still have them saved on my computer.

It does not swivel, but it does tilt up and down. I believe you can take still photos with the packaged software.

Yes, you can tilt head up and down but better, you have arrows on the screen to move up, down, right, left, close ups, or move away from your object. I cannot answer the digital still photo question, I've not tried that function.

You can move this cam any place as long as there is a flat place, where you can lay it comfortably. When I purchased this cam, all I wanted was to have a video connection. So as to taking photos, I don't know. Get the toll free number from Amazon.com in order to ask that question to the manufacturer. Hope my answer helps. :-)

the camera twists up and down. You can't tilt the small frame that holds the camera, you have to manually twist the camera down

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, the head does swivel. Still one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Yes, and no. You can preset the vertical pitch so the camera is either horizontal, or pointing at an angle up or down. However, it is static, meaning you can't shift this position while tilting the jib. Theoretically, you could loosen one of the tube clasps towards the end of the camera and push it in/out to change the pitch, but I doubt it would be smooth enough to use in a reliable fashion. For a feature like this, you will need to invest if a more expensive "pro" jib. Even without that feature, this jib is hard to beat for the price.

yes you could, it would tilt down about 55 degrees, and rotate 90 degrees. But it has to be mount on ceiling/top instead of on a wall where some dome camera could do.

It has a ball head so you can turn the head 90 degrees to orient the camera vertically. As long as you don't have the legs spread so far out that you can't tilt it all the way you will be fine.

That's actually a software question rather than a camera/hardware feature. I don't use the software included with the camera but just using the standard Windows Photo Gallery it is easy to rotate the picture to any orientation you like and it is automatically saved in that orientation for future viewing.

if you attached it to a video head you can tilt the head and it will angle the camera up or down.

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.

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.

You can manually tilt the camera up and down where u need to minitor, but no, does not have pan (or pan and tilt remotely) like some others.

Yes. The only issue you may have is the tripod its self being in the picture when you do, but the head does swivel enough that the camera can face straight down (and I got mine to point a little farther than that).

No. It has 3 methods of attachment, which is nice, but it isn't designed to swivel or tilt.

It depends on the type of head you purchase. Most people would buy the less expensive simple head which does not tilt for veritical position. This is not a function of the Monopod.

It swivels up and down. It can be rotated 90 degrees to give side to side adjustment, but the lens will then be be in a "portrait" orientation rather than a "landscape" orientation.

No, the camera angle is fixed, and there is no mechanism to provide angle rotation, so it can only be repositioned manually.
