I don't know if it is water proof, i really doubt if it is. it might shed light rain. It does not tilt. George in Omaha

It does not tilt and in terms of being waterproof, it will repel rain, but it is just fabric. Expect this umbrella to last 1 heavy summer season (2 if you take very good care of it). For the size and the price it is a good deal IMO. but we normally buy one at the start of the summer season in Southern California and by October its run its course.

I've had this outdoors 24/7 since I got it and it's holding up against the elements so far. No fading as of yet and it seems to be waterproof (but I haven't really kept it open and sat under it during a rainstorm). No, it does not tilt. I bought a 50 lbs base stand (Fortunoff Clearance Sale $50) that offers an additional 3-4 inches from the ground. With that, the tip of the "spokes" of the umbrella clears the top of my 28" height patio table by 3" when it is folded (You'll have to duck your head when opening and closing). Problem solved. Just make sure you get a stand that adds an additional 3-4". I just bought a second one because it is such a great deal.

Hi - it does not tilt. I live in Arizona so I'm not 100% sure about the waterproof part. It did get blown into the pool at one point, and when I stood it back up it was drenched but dried pretty fast - within 2 hours. Sorry - not much help. The short screw on part is actually the bottom half of the pole. They ship it to you broken down into 2 pieces. The pole does not fit in a standard umbrella base. Its about 2 3/4" wide, so you'll need an umbrella base with a wider pole opening. I had to purchase one.

No this umbrella does not tilt. It is waterproof however, to a certain extent.

Yes, it tilts. I'm not sure exactly how much, but I would estimate its tilt range is about 45 degrees.

Yes, it does tilt. The height is set during installation based on your height.

Yes it does tilt. The only problem I had was that the chrome on the side of the arms are peeling off and after writing to the seller I got no response.

It's great... There are two clear plastic hold levers that you can adjust to hold. I was using it for my iPad (mostly horizontally) you can also adjust the tilt. And it's very light weight overall.

No tilt feature. But has 4 screws on the rear if you wish to use your own tilt mount.

It tilts at minimum a small degree. I would put more than 15 pounds on it tho

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

Yes there is a tilt. This unit is all metal and easy to install. I would highly recommend this unit.

@Jim J., yes it does tilt/swivel down as well as up. Once you get the downwards or upwards tilt to your liking, you can 'fix' it in that position by tightening the knobs on the sides, for a secure placement. Just fyi, for the amount of air that the fan pushes out, the noise level is minimal as well. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, it does have a tilt feature. Also, you can adjust the tension on the tilt feature. It ranges between easily tilting to not tilting at all.

The tilt is around 180°, very adjustable. It stays in place. And yes, there is something like a knob to adjust.

It tilts. You can also fold it completely onto itself so it just gives off a little sliver of light. Worth the money IMO

Yes, it does tilt also. It is really a pretty piece and I am very happy with my purchase.

Yes it can tilt. I'm not sure what you mean by adjustable. The water pattern can not be adjusted if that helps.

Sorry. I returned the mount when I discovered it didn't actually tilt more than about15 degrees.
