Hi Janice,
thank you! The tilt is fixed untill a certain dergree. there's a counter balance hanging through the middle, that keeps the camera upright. but when you tilt the device beyond a certain point, the counterbalance rests againt the inside. this makes it possible to tilt the camera down or up. the close-up shot of the dogs face was shot this way. ofcourse, this is not perfect. when the balance rests against the inside, the chance of vibrations coming through increases. but maybe this could be solved partially by dampening, wrapping it in something soft or rollers or something. all still to be investigated! thanks for your feedback! PS Sanjay, it could carry DSLR's too, ofourse.
