That might just make me go for it. Wonder how much the controller and other required items cost?
Some folks are capable of DIY stuff, but not me.
FWIW, I built a 4-way tilt mechanism with struts and two hinges for less than $50. This mechanism is more than anyone truly needs. Eight angle pieces with fasteners and struts for tilting should be less than $30.
