Re: Shooting upside down? Use an "L" bracket.

I think the L-bracket will make it even more difficult. It won't be centered and balanced like the camera reversed. You'll have to get down on the ground, to position it, plus avoid the legs. Try using portrait orientation with the column reversed and you'll see what I mean.

I see what you mean BB. But I'm not sure how much it matters that the camera isn't centred, and I have to set up the camera anyway to avoid the legs. Frankly, I don't know how sensible I'm being but it just seems worth trying options. I've ordered the 3LT Ellie Short and I can return it if it doesn't work for me, or it will always sell on eBay. All this when the biggest difficulty is finding the darn mushrooms in the first place! Thanks for your support.
