Does the camera sit level on this? Or does it tilt slightly? We have a Canon sx520HS Powershot. Thanks!

The tripod has a leveling bubble on the mount head so you can adjust the legs until the camera sits level.

If you properly screw the camera to the base, it will be level! It also has a handle to move it so if doesn't sit level you can manually level it. Either way it works out

Sorry for the delay but I bought this for my son and I had to get in touch with him to get the answer. He says that he had to buy a robust Ball Head that would hold the weight in order for this to work successfully. The ball head also allows you to tilt and move the camera as you want to. I hope this helps you with your problem.

The camera is in a fixed position. Pointing froward with a slight downward tilt. It can't be adjusted it is fixed.

It doesn't really tilt, but you can adjust slightly. Does not have a pivotal mount or anything like that. Very functional though.

It should work fine with your camera, make sure the leg locks are fully secured. I have not had a problem with mine and I've actually used it on inclines by adjusting the legs accordingly. I like mine so much if it ever breaks, I'll purchase one just like it. It's very light and easy to handle. Hope this helps.

Yes, it both tilts and swivels, and I'm using it successfully with an FZ200! It seems to be a well-made flash unit.

ehh... It does flex a some but not enough to bother me. If it's an issue, the little rubber cap that covers the connection to the camera can be stuffed into a small sup out on the grip. That takes up some of the gap/wiggle room. I shoot mine off sticks most of the time so 1 degree of flex is correctable in the tripod or lightroom for that matter.

Tilts but does not swivel. BTW, works well with off camera cord to develop any angle and lighting option by hand

Yes, but that said it is a fixed camera so where you aim it is what you get. When I purchased this I thought you could pan tilt etc. Not the case. It is fixed.

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

There is a cut away that allows the camera to be tipped 90 degrees. There the camera can be turned upwards. It is not the greatest thing I have seen but it will work.

The video covers some of the more obvious things but not the less obvious ones. If you have the base (where the camera screws in) level with the handle pointing at you, the thing you can unscrew on the right side is for the pivot (to take portrait pictures), which will let you tilt the base plate by lefting the left side up and over to the right. The round knob on the left side unlocks the left-to-right pivoting. There doesn't seem to be any knob to adjust the up and down pivoting; you just have to push hard (unless mine is broken?)

I looked up that model camera an it looks like its fine for the size of the tripod, I have a FS300 and its balanced.It does help to tighten the tilt screw with a flat blade screwdriver. But the magnets help keep it stable but wont hold it sideways unless its a really small point N shoot camera.

The head on the tripod is fully capable of a side tilt. This is a heavy duty tripod. I have used mine with a small jib/crane as well as a slider for video, and it is rock solid and steady.

The camera is easily tilted. I have not had any problems adjusting to the right angle for viewing.

It tilts. Pretty sure the review saying it doesn't forgot about the tilt lock. Just pull the height adjustment lever out and it unlocks and tilts.

It is already horizontal in the picture. When you release the adjustment on the side then you can tilt the camera vertically. I guess they say both because once the camera is vertical, then you can tilt it back horizontal.
