"Barrel roll" looking video head ?????????

There are some shortcuts to dutch angles, especially if you only need one or two occasionally.

One is to turn the camera on a horizontal plane on the tripod head or plate. Now, the head no longer tilts, but it does roll.

Another is to mount a second tripod head on the first, and use the second head's tilt as a roll.

The advantage of the two above techniques is that you can use real video heads, and get a smooth move.

Another is to use a 3-axis still head. The three axis are typically pan, tilt, roll. Hard to do a move, but fine for a static shot.

But, I do agree with luckless about using machine shops for rigs that you can't find commercially, or can't find in quite the right config or cost. Come to think of it, I had a 3x3" tilt plate made a few years ago. All the commercially available were 4x4" or larger. I guess I could use that for a static dutch angle shot, above or below the head.

In areas with a lot of video, there tend to be specialty machinists too, it's a matter of networking through the rental houses to find them.

Grillz, there are a few rigs capable of the Barrel Roll.... Your best bet is to contact your local film equipment rental house. They are usually very freindly and LOVE to talk shop. they can also reccomend the correct rig for your camera. Good luck and dont watch the footage when your drunk.

I finally found what it was but i misplaced the link... Who had it?

If you follow SailingAway's suggestion, you can quickly find examples of the video head. Google "dutch roll head". The professional ones are motorized, have 3 axis rotation, and seem to start at $1400.
