I would like to know if it can stand alone using a 90 degree or "L" formation? If not, does anyone have any ideas on how it could be mounted ?

I run a zig zag pattern to each end and have them strapped on each side...you can use Velcro straps too....

Yes, it can stand alone, in fact I use the larger piece to block the stairs for my grandson, and 2 pieces as an L as you mentioned to block another area near the grill..works great! Best, Ellen

Yes, you just have to take out 4 small screws and turn it 90 degrees, I have mine mounted that way - much cleaner look.

Yes, it can be rotated 90 degrees. Please note - there is no way to anchor once the position is fixed. Its a very painful process to get the mount to align in perfect position

no you cannot! it requires some type of rail system to be able to mount it! at least the one i have

Yes (sort of). It is more of a "square peg" thing so only works on the 90 degree angles, but you can mount the stand on a vertical surface as well as horizontal. I currently have mine mounted on the side of my desk hutch.

Yes, you can mount it forward - there isn't much of a slant in it but it is there (maybe 10 degrees off from 90).

Yes. That is how I mounted mine. One person setup and pretty easy if you have the right tools. Make sure you get a stud in the ceiling.Looks sharp!

It can stand alone, but the back of the side shelves are not finished wood and would look different from the side. It is a very heavy unit and not easy to move. Hope this helps.

Don't believe it is designed to be free standing. Have always had mine mounted to the wall for stability.

It stands on it's own. You don't need to attach it to anything. I suppose you could attach it if you wanted to, but I never have.

Not even close on its own. You need a tripod that articulated like that at the point just below the mount. Mine does not. But it's old. Mine tilts very little and will not mount perfectly perpendicular to the mount (won't mount at a straight up and down position).

I'm looking at it now and I can't see how it would be possible to attach to the frame back. The base that attaches to the wall does rotate, but only 90 degrees either way; not to where the holes are facing forward... Or the back of a frame. Plus the base is pretty thick, and seems that it would prevent any frame from resting flat against the wall. I do like the light however ... Looks sharp and works well, nice wall attachment system with built in level...but use rechargeable batteries because it drains them pretty rapidly. Hope that helps...

I just looked at mine and I think you could use them to stand alone instead of mounting them. I think you'd have to put it up against a wall or something to support it so it doesn't tip over when full.

The base is attached with screws. Yes, if you removed the screws, you are left with a 90 degree plate that is welded to the pole. That is what I did with my current setup. Good luck .

I haven't seen this one offered that way. I suspect that you could do a short PL-259 barrel and a right angle PL-259, but I would check carefully that the right angle doesn't bang up the roof. This would be an after-purchase mod, but it might serve your needs. I'm an extra class ham, but on long road trips I still want a CB on hand for road info, and this mount has hung on during multiple trips at 75 MPH into screaming winds coming down from Wyoming.

it has a little base in the back so it can stand free, i will have to look and see if mountable. Would guess not because of the base.

I don't think this will work other than standing alone on a surface. It is quite heavy, the supports are not threaded and I think it will fall if mounted on an extension. You might consider a different style. Hope this helps.
