I'm looking for a simple monopod (or tripod) head with a quick camera
release. The only real action I'd like the head to perfom is a quick flip
to vertical from the normal horizontal position. Any recommendations?

My solution to this problem was to add a smallish ballhead
onto my monopod, plus a QR adaptor that uses the same
QR plates as my Bogen 3030 tripod head (rectangular.)
