No, it's six sided, three flat and three rounded. I think it's a good design,
doesn't rotate unintentionally and easily
locks rock solid.

This shot isn't as low as it goes with this head - the lion is too tall for
that. :-) With my Manfrotto 3D head, as seen
in Walt's set-up. I could put the camera down in a hole, looking up at grade
level.

The only way to do low macro. ;-) I wish the E-M5 were fully articulated, but
for this use, the tilt screen is quite
adequate.
