It is not metal. I think it is a little stronger than plastic though. I love it and have had no issues with it!

I believe it is metal, I bought for my son, so I am unable to look at it. I will check with him a reply again.

Its plastic not metal. Not very well made as they say. I should have read all the answers.

I think it's plastic. It's been great for us so far, but we've only had it installed for 6mo. So far, so good and handsome too

It is not plastic, it is metal. But I would not recommend it anyway. The metal main body cracked on me. I do not know why - I did not overload it at all. I just noticed once that there was a crack there. It is still usable, but I will buy another.

It's plastic. But it's pretty sturdy, we've used ours several times since we got it.

Plastic and not super sturdy feeling. Mine has been used over a year and hasn't broken, but not what you're looking for if you want metal or something sturdy to the feel

It is metal. Easy to install and works like a dream. The holder is plastic and I replaced that with something I bought locally. But it was an easy swap.

It's metal, actually made of aluminum. It's really lightweight stuff. No too bulky and works very well. :-)

Its plastic and metal. Mine did not survive indoor use even, so I would not recommend it for outdoor use.. Or not recommend it at all.

Its metal and works great. I've had it for 6+ months and its still working like its brand new.

It's metal. Not a very strong metal, but it is sturdy and serves it's purpose.

It is metal. The whole thing is solid design with smooth bearing motion. I have used it with three different size cameras and it is easy to adjust for each.

I believe it's plastic with chrome mylar covered over it. Not sure. Pretty sure it's not metal.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

It's probably aluminum but it is definitely not plastic. It is some type of metal for sure.

Plastic, I think. It is quite sturdy but I don't use it. It is clear plastic so not terribly noticeable
