Is it possible to mount this to, say, a tripod leg and does the mount swivel in all directions? I need this for tight interior shots.

Absolutely. It moves 360 degrees and would fit easily on a tripod leg. Great idea.

The clamp maybe able to tighten to a 5/8 inch in diameter. I would not think it would be able to truly tighten down on any smaller diameter object without some type of modification. The clamp does rotate 360 deg on an axis but does not swivel. Our problem came with the size of phone. The galaxy 4 does not fit but my husband's droid 4 did fit snuggly.

If tripod leg is round it would be easy to mount and yes, it does swivel 360 degrees. It would probably work on non-round legs too.

Do you mean horizontally? The short answer is "yes". It's not a strict 90 degree angle because the flex is not that flexible, but you can attach it horizontally and flex the camera vertically to be level. If you mean, can you attach it straight down vertically, and flex it 180 degrees for the camera to be upright, the answer, again, is "yes". As mentioned in other reports, the flex on this thing is very tight and requires two hands to bend, but it will bend. I had it attached to the underside of a slanted 2x4 and twisted it upwards to be upright and level. I was impressed.

Yes, you can. Of course there is a limit to the swivel, but placing the camera correctly, you ought not to have a problem in pointing it to a specific area.

You CANNOT swap sides and mount it on the right because it wouldn't fit into your tripod properly then, it would be backwards.Disclosure: I have the original of this (made by Camadpter, but it cost more than twice this amount).

Yes, you can....just tried it out...just unscrew the hook at the end of the center column, release the tension ring and invert the center column. This truly is a nice tripod. Hope that answers your question:)

yes. There is a set screw that allows the camera to be rotated after mounting.

It doesn't start to screw in or it doesn't screw in all the way? I've found you can screw it in until it is tight and THEN lock it in place with the nut on top. This means you should always get full contact with the tripod threads. Many things only screw part way into the mount before they get tight against the plate but that seems less secure than the way this works.

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.

It has been a while since I mounted mine but yes, there are actually two ways to mount. There is an included flange, plate or whatever you want to call it, that can be inset into a dash, or some other type of surface. In my case, I did not use that and mounted it directly to the swivel-base. I want to say it had a 1/4"-20 screw fitting (like a camera) and there was a screw in the base that fit it just fine. So I was able to mount it to the base.Hope that helps

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

Not in a fluid way for shooting. You can adjust the lower arm and that would allow the camera mount to tilt but again not as a fluid movement.

Swivel does not rotate, your bipod is as sturdy as it's designed to be, if it's cheap it will wiggle. I've had not problem using it, just make sure everything is tight.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question however, this product was missing from my tripod. It slips on the tripod itself. The screw sticking up allows you to mount a camera, etc. to the tripod. For example, I used this on my tripod and then mount a "hog saddle" so I can use the tripod as a rifle mount.

You can mount it as you would any typical tripod mounted camera. As for the software, I am using it with a movie editing program and it can correct for the different angles. I don't know that the camera comes with any sort of software that can correct mounting it upside down. Mine certainly did not.

I would not try mounting this camera upside down since it was designed for a vertical surface. Am sure you can find an alternative.

In my opinion there is no real tripod mount. It has the screw end similar to all the rest of the gopro mounts and there is a nut that goes on the other end. The camera mount fits between and is screwed down to tighten. It can be left a bit loose to adjust the angle as well. I don't think any of this hardware,e would work on a normal tripod though!

Yes. On the bottom of the rig, there is a place to screw in a quick release from a tripod. I just used it on a tripod in a shoot I did last Monday. Worked great.
