How to Vertically Mount a Camera on a Horizontal Video Head!

One tripod head to rule them all! Modern cameras can shoot video and stills. The perfect video head does not allow you to easily turn the camera vertical when you switch to portrait orientation. What follows is my journey in trying to make this work with a tripod head designed for video. Sure I could change out the tripod head, but I need to quickly switch back and forth from horizontal to vertical, and without changing the fluid head. UPDATE! 4/23 Since this video was made there are two products that have come to market that may solve this problem! Unfortunately, they do not fit every camera in every situation so YMMV! For Sony mirrorless one of these may be your solution. For other cameras, you may need to test them out to see if they will work for your setup.
