What the thread found

• Flipping the camera rig upside down is a viable alternative to using a dedicated low mode kit when time is limited
• When flying upside down, the gimbal must be repositioned and fore-aft balance adjusted to maintain proper operation
• The monitor can be flipped by removing its mounting screw to facilitate viewing during inverted operation
• A low mode bracket can remain permanently attached to the camera handle without interfering with normal shooting
• The resulting inverted footage can be corrected by flipping the image in post-production if the rig itself is not flipped

Depends on

• Experience reported with DVX100, DVX, M2, and mentioned for HVX200 but not confirmed by original poster
• Time constraints may make the upside-down method preferable to full re-rigging with a low mode kit
• The inverted method requires understanding of gimbal balancing adjustments
