I assume it's steel because the tripod seems too heavy for just alu legs. But I don't know for sure.
The splintered metal -
It happened when I tightened the hex bolt right there.
So far there is no indication that the damage is growing in any way and so far I have not encountered any difficulties because of it. I would keep using the mount and keep trusting it. But I can't ask a normal 2nd hand price for it, anymore, because of this damage.
As to shipment to Australia: could be done at your expense for packaging and shipment but I'd prefer an NZ buyer.
