... don't deminish the prevention of yaw...
Urs Tillmanns ... advises "Certain designs with centre tilt may result in problems in film loading at extreme movements in the horizontal format."
personally, I've found that I kind of like using base tilts rather than center tilts. It just seems easier/quicker for me to get my desired result.
Have you actually ever used a camera with centre/axial tilts ?
You wouldn't say that if you had. I use both, but am more used to base tilt and am always struck by how much easier my axial tilt cameras are when I use them.
However after saying axial tilt is easier I can use either extremely quickly. But I do prefer axial tilt.

Personally, having used LF cameras with both style tilts I've found the base tilt setup to be easier to firmly lock down [...]. Cameras with axis tilts only, especially on the rear standard, always seem to move slightly on me when inserting the film holder. FWIW
Just my 2 cents. As format size goes up I would find front base tilt harder to work with. An overall focus can be had almost instantaneous with front standard center tilt - no so with base tilt.Yes, I have. One of my 8x10 cameras even has both base tilt, and center tilt (on the front standard) I use the base tilt most of the time. Most of my 4x5 cameras have center tilt on the front, but I find I like using the base tilt better. All of my cameras have base tilt on the rear, accept for my monrail camera. Maybe my technique for using center tilt has yet to be refined.
