Is the chrome base, the mounting part, plastic or metal?

The mounting part that attaches to the stand is made of hard plastic and it's very durable for regular use. The speed ring that hold the sticks though is made is metal.

It's one piece of high density plastic. The chrome your seeing is a reflective coating of sorts. It's way sturdy! Best lightbox I've ever used. Looks nice too. Customers always comment on how cool and pro it looks.

It looks like chrome but it is plastic. The only metal is on the bracket that holds the flash. However, it is good quality plastic. although pricey, I love these speed boxes.

The mounting part (l bracket and softbox ring) are made of plastic. same thing for the only thing that is not plastic are the sticks that connect the l bracket to the speedring of the softbox

I would say it's brass. They also have a chrome version, but the brass better matched my original fixture and the wood trim.

It looks to be -- it is shiny silver metal; what screws onto the base is plastic

The housing and base are metal. The housing screws into the base and then has Allen set screws for security. I put two of these in my garage where my son plays lacrosse and he has not been able to break them yet...very heavy duty!

Don't know the exact material, but it is a pretty rigid plastic. I have mine mounted on a board and it works great.

Moen's website says that it's constructed of metal with a brass swivel ball assembly. There are several finishes available. We chose chrome.

It is aluminum (aluminium, if you speak/spell British English). My mount still going strong on my No 4. Mk 1.

Both. It's made mostly of chrome plated stainless steel, with a couple of plastic parts.

It is metal. And it worked great for me. No issues. However, I think this one is too short to mount an optic to.

The base is all metal. The only non metal parts are the knob and the 4 feet. I think these are bakelite rather than plastic.

The base is metal ... other parts plastic. I use mine most days of the week and it does a great job.

The mount is plastic with a chromed plastic cover at each end. The bar itself is metal. It is very durable, but I would not use it as a grab bar.

the metal parts are shiny chrome (what you can see in the pic.) the rest is a cool gray. hope this helps!

It's plastic. It has a chrome look finish but all plastic. I like it a lot. I have had several Hansgrohe products and they were always good.

It's metal. If your rail you are mounting it on is curved instead of flat like the rail mount you may have to dremel tool the bottom surface of the mount to fit a curved rail surface, but should work well with a flat surface rail or weaver mount surface.

Thanks for your answer. Forgot to ask if the silver version has a plastic or a metal housing? I presume that the chrome version has a metal housing.

It is chromed plastic but appears to be well made.It will not corrode like chrome metal alloy. Looks good on my motorcycle.
