Mine was such a hunk of junk it is all over the place. Had to stick shims in receiver and still don't use hunk of junk. Not trust worthy. I never use it. Total screw job. Don't buy

Hi! Sorry I couldn't answer earlier. I hope you tried the device in the meantime. The product works fine, especially with the bracket we attached to it to make it easier for our son to load his dirt bike onto it himself. You have to strap down the bike really well. We're not sure what Amazon means by the 'anti tilt locking device', but in our experience there is no tilting involved indeed and off-roading that happens when our son takes the bike to the spots where he wants to ride are testament to that. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Sorry I don't underestand the question. I have no issues or problem with mine

Not an anti tilt per se but once is in down position, it locks down and hardly sways or jumps around. Once the scooter is tied down, I've taken it on couple of hundred miles trips on freeways and all around without any issue

Am interested in this due the lack of a strap to adjust the angles. But if the thing doesn't work properly... did anyone have this resolved (please don't reply "I love this unit". Thank you

Have similar issue, just have to seat it correctly and get the feedback from the phone. Never really thought of it as an issue. Had mine for 8 months now, no problems, and I love the convenience.

The top only tilts forward to back (it's designed for heavy loads - a ball joint would not be sufficiently strong or stable). HOWEVER, the clamp on the mast for elevating the platform to specific heights allows the mast to rotate, so you can set where you want the tilt axis to face. It is not as simple as a one-joint solution, but the platform can face in any direction without having to move the legs. If you're going to rotate the platform in real time there is a locking pin which keeps the mast from dropping. The bigger issue is the platform has no lip, so I suggest you add one (easy to do) to prevent devices from sliding off.

It might be more of a space issue. The floor of the carrier is actually smaller than the dimensions around the middle - so where they lie down is actually quite narrow. The middle dimensions still don't match the size they claim, I don't know how they reached them - maybe by taking the height with the handle in the upright position and measuring the width all the way to the end of the decorative edging? Anyhow, there are locking pins approx. every 2 inches around the join so as long as you check they are tight regularly, it should be durable enough for your needs. The carrier itself seems sturdy.

You can pull the handle half way and it locks in position or all the way and it will lock again. So basically the locks are just so that you can set the handle to the height you prefer. It's a nice carrier, my only complaint is that it was too small for one of my cats.

I bought it about 3 weeks ago, and I used it for the same reason as yours!It is perfect and steady, no shaking, but you have to make sure that it's locked from its three keys :)

Mine arrived in perfect shape. That would be the carrier if they are crushed. Btw, thanks for reminding me, it time to change mine. :o)

It is really malleable. In fact too much so. The carrier looses its shape after a while. If you are spending this kind of money it should hold its shape but the fasteners are misaligned & put too much stress on the others so it begins to collapse. The company basically told me tough luck - pay for a new panel & hope those snaps line up. Good cash cow for them!

I have not had any trouble like that with mine, if it fits tight to the transom it cannot tilt. Good luck. JHC

you keep cranking it open and it will auto tilt, mine does it on its own now :-/

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.

I actually would stay away from this carrier. It's paper thin. I used mine for 1 week before buying Petmate Ultra kennel. It was like night and day. I'm putting this one on craigs list in hopes to get some of my money back.

Sorry, not a technician. I purchased mine several years ago and have only used it a couple times because the negatives I have do not fit in the carrier and you have to keep fiddling with it.

I have not cracked the case, but it does not rattle. If it is a tilt switch I think I should be able to make it activate by swishing it sideways and I can't. Pure silicon accelerometers and position sensors are super cheap, so I'm guessing that it is one of the two.

I think the manual wins on a very dubious technicality: it tilts about 2 degrees forward or backward, the snaps back to where it was. If there's any way to lock in this tiny angle of tilt, I haven't found it. The height adjustment (doesn't) work in precisely the same way.
