Well. I'd forgotten about turning the camera. So I took another look and found the 3-way head with #2 plate. It costs £10 more and weighs more too, but the separate right angle plate is terribly expensive. More so than most of the smaller heads. The 3-way head has a bubble level as well; something I need because the one on the tripod died in the cold some years ago.
