I purchased my Tilt-All last year. I do not do that much photography, only a few months of the year when I am doing product.This is not the original Tilt-All. The new one is made in China, and it's cheapness shows. One leg broke off at the yoke at two months old.I glued it with an aluminum epoxy. There was no brass between the aluminum leg and the yoke - all cheap low grade aluminum. The leg brokeagain, as I supposed it would. Sitting in the closet waiting for the dumpster.Note Again - THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL TILT_ALL! It is a sad pathetic copy of the original.
