While I see how that would work, you could accomplish the same thing with less weight and complexity with an Acratech ballhead, which are designed to be mounted either flipped or not. Changing the orientation isn't as simple as using a clamp, since you have to unscrew the head from the tripod and reposition the clamp on the ball, but it only takes a minute, and can be done in the field. Might be an alternative if you haven't already considered it.

Only the Acratech GP heads allow this, right?
This thread was actually in response to this. I felt that it would be a lot simpler, faster, and possibly cheaper to just get a double ended Arca plate. Then you could do the inverted thing with *any* ballhead with a panning base, or do it with a non-panning base ballhead + separate panning base combo, and it would be cheaper and easier than getting a dedicated Acratech.
