Hi William, since you wrote so convincingly a 90 degree tilt was possible, I had a look at my 128RC Manfrotto videohead and low and behold: with some arranging of the handle a 90 degree tilt was possible. Thanks! Now what to do with the photohead? I think I'll keep that for keeps. Never know when it may come in handy.
