Is it possible to tilt the camera/copter straight down (90' to earth axis)?

No it's not. It does tilt up and down but not 90'. You would need the Phantom 2 Gimbal for that.

You can go into setting and get the camera to tilt almost stright down but not all the way. However with wide angle lens it has it sees directly under it very well.

In its original configuration you cannot tilt the head upwards to 90 deg. However, if you can use a power drill you can take the head and easily tilt it upwards to create a flat platform then drill 1 hole on each side of the head so that you can put through the 2 thumb screws. This should hold the head securely in place in the flat orientation.

As far as the vehicle angle is concerned, yes, it is very easy to do. Simply loosen one bolt on each side of the housing and it will tilt up and down. But horizontally, the answer is no. The unit comes with two plates: Both go left to right, while one also oscillates up and down slightly. The amount of travel from left to right cannot be adjusted.

Really need to setup on even ground ( not adjustable except for elevation )

Yes. Only up and down but not side to side. It is still difficult to pull off as you don't have a direct feed to the controller and you cannot adjust it mid flight.

The top pivot (above where the legs connect) does not quite tilt 90 degrees, but the legs can be easily adjusted to achieve a 90 degree tilt. Just be sure that this model will support the weight of your camera; it easily supports my Sony DSC-TX20.

Will not tilt forward more than 90 degrees (i.e. straight forward). There are 10 positions from 0 (flat) to 90 (vertical).

You can tilt but it's at the bottom of the monopod. I haven't found the tilt head necessary.

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.

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.

It just points straight out. The camera, however, is tilted at a lower angle so that when the drone is parallel to the horizon, you can see downward either way.

Yes, tilt control is ready *almost* out of the box. You just need to install the gimbal first. The little lever on the backside of the remote controls the tilt. I recommend calibrating the remote control in the PhantomRC app, and downloading and installing all of the software and firmware updates before flying.

A full 90 degree angle will take some finesse, but it is possible. This is dependent on the height of the shot you want to accomplish. The key is the adjustable shaft on the tripod, since the arm only allows the camera mount to tilt down as far as 70-80 degrees, give or take. Thus, you'd have to tilt the arm, itself, a little over 180 degrees with the camera mount tilted all the way forward. Lift the shaft from the tripod stand as high as you'd need to, and you have your bird's eye view. If you can't achieve the shot you desire from the height allotted by its shaft from ground level, then consider placing the crane on higher elevation. Best of luck!

The elevation isn't an issue. unfortunately, my experience was that the copter would not could not fly - due to a problem with the rotor gears. I returned it.

You can only tilt it side to side or up and down, there is no actual vertical adjustment. Hope that helps.

Yes. The camera doesn't go to 90 degrees. It only goes to about 70 degrees so it has to be high or tilted.

Yes and No. No you can not move the camera but YES it would not be "too hard" to shift the view down with a tiny glued on mirror. We used to do this with camera's in rockets. since the camera is not looking straight forward it would be a tricky "mounting" to get the right angle (would need a larger mirror probably 2 inches across) but it is doable.
