Title: Beware !!! The reinforced base is plastic not metal.
Review: I expected the base to be cast magnesium (or some form of metal) based on the pictures and description. What I got was a non-professional plastic base. At the Amazon return page I was informed that it was my error and I would have 14.97 deducted from the refund as a result. So I would hope that other customers keep this in mind before being misled.
