Is the top neck flexible enough to make a a 90-degree angle? I have a Sony Bloggie that essentially has the screw mount on the side, not the bottom.

If you use it as a stand, it won't make a perfect 90 degree angle, and the weight of the camera will cause it to tip over. However, you can attach it to a pole or something to accommodate the side mount.

Yes you can. Just have to manipulate the legs to "hug" outside. After playing with it for over a year, I still learn and figure out different ways to use it.http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o87/heyjowee/?action=view&current;=IMAG0168-1-1.jpg

Yes, it can. I can't test it on any of my cameras because their tripod mounts are all on the bottom.

Here is another angle: http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o87/heyjowee/IMAG0170-1.jpg

I'm sure you can make it if you wanted to but the top does not go a full 90 but it a little bit close but if u wrap the legs around something then it will do what you want hope this helped
1761891
yes, but you may have clearance issues from the three legs if it isn't at the very bottom of the camera and you'll need to tinker with the legs to get it at a perfect 90 degrees. I'll say that it's best to select an angle for the mount head and leave it there vs. moving it and instead moving the legs to adjust if possible. The friction lessons it seems with each adjustment and eventually the head will just wobble around with no tension screw to tighten it like a traditional tripod.

The Joby is very flexible and I feel it will more than likely bend to accomodate a side mount. I have wrapped it around a sign post and it worked very well.

Bruce, as Rick says you can only get a bit less than 90 degrees at the neck, but if you bend the next few joints down you can achieve a right angle. I do that when I want to shoot something with a portrait orientation. Donald's point about stability is right on as well: I always keep a hand on the tripod no matter what, and the best use of it is for clamping the camera to a fence or branch or something, not as a traditional tripod.

i do not believe it is that flexible and if you are trying to use as a tripod, it would probably fall over. i was not impressed with my gorillapod and it was very flimsy before it broke to pieces. a friend had similar issues with it falling apart. i have been very happy with my Pedco UltraPod II. check it out and see if it is what you are looking for.

Depends somewhat on the size of your TV. I'd say 45 degrees max. Not sure 90 would be possible with any mount.

This mount is very versatile and sturdy. You would have no problem hanging a 32" TV at 90 degrees or any other angle. I don't think, however, that you would want to use this mount from the ceiling. The mechanism that holds the tv on the mount uses hooks and may not be 100% secure.

It has a flat base so yes. You just won't be able to tilt it too much if at all. While the head has a bit of weight to it, it's not enough to counteract the force exerted on it by the camera body.

Just tried it on my table top. Gives very wide range of angles (from pointing downwards all the way to beyond vertical). The base is OK on a table top, reasonably stable. The base is not large, however, and it's mostly hard plastic, so it could fall over or slide if you accidentally tug the cable. A bit of blu-tack and/or some self-adhesive rubber bumpers would fix that. Note that if the camera is sitting on a desktop pointing up at people, the angle will be a bit odd... Overall, I'd say this webcam is OK for use on a flat table, but if that were my main intended use, I'd look around for a model specifically designed for that use case.

It will tilt back 90 degrees. If the mounting surface is at eye level it should work fine.

Yes you can mount it in either orientation, with the feed going out the right or left side. Even the logo can be twisted so its right side up.

Technically yes, but then you have to purchase this adjustable mount - http://www.orbaudio.com/multimountadjustablewallceilingsiderearmount.aspxIt come's with a simple one which in 90 degree angle with non-variable direction.

I disagree with the previous answer. I use it often in if not exactly 90 degree, near enough. I shooting objects on a tabletop. It works for me. I also have no issue with the stability. You might have to add a counterweight from the provided hook depending on the weight of your equipment, but if you tighten everything down, it's very stable. Opinions vary.

I mount it on a normal mic stand, but I had to brace it against the wall. It's pretty heavy but I'm sure you can make it work.

The mount has a build in ball joint connection, it will allow you to turn 360 degrees with out bending the arm. Best Regards,

Yep. The J mount makes it fit with a bit of space to adjust the angle upward if you want. It's perfect for active use. Very comfortable.

Yes you may. It is adjustable for almost 360 degrees. You will be happy with it.Joe L.

Look at this video starting at 5:27 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWSq-s7JN10. I think there will be no problem with the mount, but if you use the RCA type connectors on the back, they will be very close to the wall and you may need 90 degree adapters.

Hi Mitch. I own and really love this stand. I'm a musician and Hercules is an iconic name in the music instrument world. To answer you question, yes, you can rotate the holder to suit your view all day long. I do it myself. I also liked that in one stand I can go from tripod to mic stand very easily. My only gripe (and I was going to leave this in my review) is that there is a small "U" shaped rubber piece to protect the exposed edge when in landscape mode and it absolutely needs to be improved upon. I get that it can't be too long on one side, or it will cover the screen, but being U shaped it doesn't come up the back very far and because the back is tapered the thing falls off all the time if you pick it up/walk around with it. It also falls off if you slide the thing around. What they needed to do was make a "J" shaped rubber piece that would go up high on the back end. This would have solved all these issues. Other than that I totally love it. I am not using an iPad Air, so I can't answer that, but I can say there is no way to adjust the depth, so it may be a little loose. You'd have to try for yourself or find someone else on that one. Hope that helps. -Jeff

I couldn't get a 90 angle only 50 with a clearance from the wall of 0. Also it say that it max is 460mm, however it only extended to the end of the rail for 400mm total extension. Make sure your preset tv mount hole are no more than 400mm ( 16").

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.
