So use another under it at a 90 degree rotation! :)

Mitchell / Flat Base Fluid Heads (http://www.abelcine.com/store/Mitchell-Flat-Base-Fluid-Heads/)

They have one at the bottom that handles up to 265lbs, so that should be OK for your application.

... and what monopod will you be using with this? ;)

Can we see a picture of this really big camera?

If you don't mind older stuff, the Gitzo Rationale 4 would probably fill the bill.

actually the load is not a camera, I work with tactic UAV's (unmanned air vehicles) with a load of 30-40 kg, while the technitian assemble the UAV on a stand he needs to change and cheak the picth and roll angles, today 2 technicians are lifting the UAV and cheaking the angles, I want the ability of cheaking the angles with one technitian while the UAV is still on the stand. I need the ability of controling 3 axis sepertly (see pic). I will be glad if u can help me find the suitable head or another idea. The max price I can pay for one head is 1000 dolar.

How about tilting tables used for machining http://www.grizzly.com/products/Tilt-Table-7-x-10-/G5759
Mount one on top of another.
