Does the ball mount rotate to where I could shoot video w/ my phone camera pointing straight forward? (Not w/ camera tilted downward)

Yes, I have done that with my iPhone for incidents of bad driving or road rage

I cannot promise that you can but it is pretty darn flexible. Guessing I would bet you could. I love it, best accessory mount I've owned yet. About to buy a larger one if needed for my Note 3.
1269425
Yes. You can position it at any angle on any axis. Add a second arm and double ball, or the "swivel arm" and you get even more flexibility. You cannot, however, easily/safely adjust while driving ... is a two hand operation.

I use it on my motorcycle. I havent used it for anything in the way of your question. I assume yes because my camera on Samsung Galaxy S3 phone isnt blocked when its in the mount. I can rotate it any direction I want it to suit me. If have any other questions, contact me at hondarider.wr@gmail.com.

I think you're asking if it's possible to rotate the camera for vertical shots, the answer is yes.

IDK I have Samsung Galaxy 2 cell phone. I got one similar but my camera on back is sideways where this one is up & down. Sorry I couldn't help you more. I ended up getting mine on eBay for $7 that included shipping!

No, the camera mount only allows the camera to face one direction. However, if you use the GoPro mounts to attach it facing another direction the forward (i.e. sideways), then you could simply turn your arm and take pictures of yourself.

The whole thing is built like this: a shoe mount is attached to a ball mount attached to a claw-like phone mount. You can rotate the whole thing around the shoe mount, full 360. The ball mount can pivot up to roughly 45 off center, and rotate a full 360. The ball mount is 90 off the shoe mount, this lets you rotate a full 360 in both the x and/or y axis. Hope all that makes sense

Andy,Yes. If I understand correctly, you can tilt the top to where it is on the side and your camera is sideways which would allow you to shoot portrait.

Yes it can. It' almost like your smart phone it will adjust the screen back to center parallel to the ground. However, when you start to record it will capture all angles like a normal camera should. When you mount the camera upside down it will correct the orientation BEFORE you record. Does that help?

Yes, everything with the mount works great. It's easy to change from portrait to landscape and also easy to change angles and tilt. I find that you can adjust it without loosening the ball. But, it might have to be tightened occasionally. I really like this mount overall and would definitely recommend to anyone.

No it doesn't, you have to get a bracket if your flash doesn't have one. It's a Bowen type mount, so you might be able to find a bracket with a rotating ring. But it's so round, that for me, I don't need it to rotate.

Sorry for the delay but I bought this for my son and I had to get in touch with him to get the answer. He says that he had to buy a robust Ball Head that would hold the weight in order for this to work successfully. The ball head also allows you to tilt and move the camera as you want to. I hope this helps you with your problem.

The ball head does go all the way over to a vertical position. There is a notch to allow the camera to be placed in Portrait mode.

Yes. the stand has a swivel neck which allows you to turn the camera to any direction of your choice even if it is mounted vertically overhead

There is a cut away that allows the camera to be tipped 90 degrees. There the camera can be turned upwards. It is not the greatest thing I have seen but it will work.

You can definitely mounted. Not sure how well the camera will line up for video

Yes. It is a ball type swivel. You just have to swivel it where you want it and then drill the holes and mount it. DO NOT PRE-DRILL. Here is the web link you can see it. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/ipc-hfw4300s-398.html. The cable comes through the center on the mount also.

You can sort of rotate the case, like from portrait to landscape, but not change the general angle of the mount once it is in place. You could mount the phone vertically (so that the camera is facing forward) but then you wouldn't be able to see the screen. It does come off the mount pretty easily, but I think you would have to be stopped and use two hands.

yes, but it only works with the HD video oriented horizontally when the camera is right side up or upside down, not when the camera is sideways.when the camera is sideways, the HD video is oriented vertically...
