This can provide multiple options for compositions while still maintaining balance and even weight distribution on a tripod.

2. Maintain composition when changing from horizontal to vertical orientation
3. Great for panoramic shots in both vertical and horizontal orientation
4. Allows for a full range of motion in portrait / vertical orientation when using a ball-head
5. Maintain access to the accessory ports on your camera (custom-fitted L-Brackets)
6. Acts as a protective shell around the camera body
