Most tripod heads allow you to shoot in portrait orientation. If it has a 1/4 inch screw, it'll fit you rebel. The link you provided looks like it has bogen's own quick release plate mount. Do you own a Bogen/Manfrotto head?

no i have a cheapo wal mart tripod but it serves it purpose quite well for my uses. i cant find one for a rectangle quick release like my tripod requires.

I think you're talking about an L plate or an L bracket.... can't remember off the top of my head. However, you might be limited by your "cheapo wal mart tripod". These plates are generally (again, I think) for more prosumer and up tripods and heads. Someone will correct me (please) if I'm wrong.

For the kind of money they sell those for, I'd get a chunk of steel or aluminum and make an "L" bracket, drill 2 holes and get a 1/4 thumb screw. Wouldn't take more than 15 minutes to make. Get everything at Home Depot.

Hello Sontizzle. I got the same tripod as you too i i think!! Mine's called a TP-2800 Camline =-) Can tilt it up like that.

Not at all, if that is your only goof, then you are doing tremdously well. Oddly I have the same tripod too. Great deal from 7dayshop. Think it was about £10, for the money there is nothing better.

Keep shooting (Vertical or horizontal) :lmao:

You know what is funny about cheap tripods? (Including mine) When you tip it vertical, its not really vertical, so....you gotta rotate the head until its the camera is 90 degrees to one of the legs, then drop one of the legs down an inch or two...until the camera is actually level.... I hope pro tripods arent like that too
