What the thread found

• When the camera is mounted upside down in low mode, the monitor mounted in its normal position will also be upside down, which cancels out the inversion and displays a correct right-side-up image to frame by.
• Some monitor models have a built-in image invert function in the menu that can be used to correct the display when needed.
• The monitor should be tilted or flattened toward the post to improve visibility rather than repositioned to the top of the mounting arm.
• Keeping the monitor positioned below the horizon line during low mode operation reduces the risk of the operator looking up to focus, improving safety.

Depends on

• The simple inversion principle applies when the camera remains mounted to the stage in its normal position during low mode operation.
• Different rig models may have variations in how they handle this situation.
• The monitor invert feature availability depends on the specific monitor model being used.
