There are some pan heads with plates that flip 90 degrees, (or anywhere
in between, though I don't see the point really, if you want that get a
ball head), but the good ones are more expensive than the average ball
head, and the not good ones you don't want.

Hi All,
I asked this question in a different thread, - but it might not be
seen there, so, I would ask it in its own thread.
I am considering buying a monopod and some type of device that allows
quick and easy flipping between horizontal and vertical positions.
Larry has suggested a ball head as those typically have a slit that
allow to tilt the camera by 90 degrees.
That is a possibility, but: 1. I would be overpaying for the
functionality I don't need. (Or maybe I am not looking at the right
ball heads? Are there any inexpensive ones?)
and
2. A ball head has more degrees of freedom, which complicates the
situation when I need just to flip it from landscape to portrait
orientation.
I've been thinking about something that is similar to the brackets
used for mounting flashes, but just for the camera. Such a "bracket"
would flip between just two orientations (on a tripod or monopod).
Do such devices exist? Any pointers?
Thank you!
Igor
