I'm not sure I follow the reasoning behind this. Doesn't the head on the tripod itself tilt 90 degrees to allow you to do just this?

I was also confused, but follow his links for an explanation. It's so you can pan around both horizontally and vertically without any adjustments to level, etc. It's to aid in making multi-shot panoramics with stiching software. Looks handy!!

Sorry for not checking this for questions earlier. The reason for this Jig is so that you are pivoting around the point that the image reverses. If you pivot around the screw hole in the bottom of the camera you are back for that point and as a result when you go to stitch the images together the foreground and background objects do not line up consistantly between the images and you end up with what looks like a ghost 2nd image (usually on background objects).
