Someone was asking if there were specs on this camera. I haven't found any printed specs from the Y's camera company but is is very similar to the Horseman Woodman 45.
Here are what I gathered from the B&H website:
Base Tilt: Front standard - 20 deg, forward, 30 deg. backward
Rear standard - 25 Deg. forward and backward

Axis Tilt - Front standard only - Forward and back - only limited by the bellows

Swings: Front standard - 10 deg. left and right
Rear standard - 10 deg. left and right

Front standard - Rise and fall - 35mm rise, 25mm fall
Shifts - 10mm left and right

Minimum extension: This will handle a 65mm lens but can actually squeeze in a 55mm wide angle lens as well.
Maximum extension: Stated max is 12 inches but actual maximum extension is 14 inches or 355mm

Actual Weight: 3.35 pounds

Folded dimensions: Height with handle: 7.9 inches
Width: 8 inches
Depth: 3.3 inches

Detents on the front and rear base tilts, and on the front axis tilts.
Front axis tilt is only limited by the bellows. Far more front tilt than you would ever need.
