Pedestal Stability: Has anyone experienced this?

hello yes my LCD tv is slightly leaning to the left few inches lower than the other end. It looks like a very bad design. I put some padding underneat the left pedestal to balance the height. I did not call Amazon or placed service call as I don't believe these things can be fixed without taking back to warehouse

Not without some manual changes. The pedestal is hollow, but is open on the bottom.

No I have not. Everything is fine. Try different inputs and cables etc. also you can run the image retention bar ( thru menu).

Mine was the same way. The arms that hold the platform up are fairly flexible. A few inches of stretch (1 to 1.5 inches each way) is not bad at all. You can also work with the joins in the arms to see if you can position one of them with a tilt. I didn't need to. My Hyloft has been up for nearly 6 months and I am planning to install another one shortly.

Yes, I actually have two of these and keep them freestanding. They are quite heavy when fully stocked with polish. So mine are freestanding and work very well. They won't tip over either.

Yes... mine were wobbly as well. Need to handle with care. In fact, to date I've had to return 1 of 2 bulbs because they were broken. Need to look closely at them. For some reason the packaging doesn't hold up well.

The ball is is loosened or locked by turning the larger knob on the pedestal. Be gentle you don't have to throttle or muscle it. Counter-clockwise on the knob to loosen, clockwise to tighten. The pedestal itself can be loosened/tightened for rotation with the smaller knob that is attached to the pedestal Comment: This is a simple task.Read the instructions if these efforts can not be figured out upon taking out of the box . Take 5 minutes to tinker with it before you mount your camera get angry and start throwing things; something I do not recommend :). Merry Christmas!

I have not had that problem. Perhaps leveling it with the adjustable feet would help.

I haven't had a problem. Realize that any stand has to have a large enough base to be stable.

I haven't had any such issue. The only things I can think of are the obvious, like checking to make sure the stand is on a flat surface, shimming the feet as needed, trying to hear exactly where the rattling sound is coming from.

Hi Sam, are you using the transparent plastic holders? I noticed that they give much better support when installed.

I struggled with it too (all pieces are heavy). My solution was, instead of trying to screw the poll in, I kept the poll steady and span the marble base the opposite way which snapped on pretty easy. Getting help from someone else should make it easier too. Hope this helps.

I extend the legs first and tighten nuts...this gives the stand some downward weight. Then loosen the turn knob at end of center post and the inner tube should advance freely. Sounds like there may be a dent or crimp in the tubing or a metal burr that's catching. I'd return for an exchange.

We did not purchase the pedestal, we used the one we had. I believe the same company does sell the pedestal. You would need to contact them.

No. I was concerned about it too but most modern projectors have an angle adjustment feature that negates the height issue.

I had the same problem, the first time, but just made sure they were standing upright. And they were in the right way. No problems after that. Good luck.

Not knowing how large and heavy your book is, I just tried putting a 1500+ page hardcover book on my stand, and it seemed pretty much just as stable as with just a few pages of sheet music. I would however suggest: Putting the back leg pointed straight back (hopefully this makes sense), so it doesn't tip back, and for extra support on each side. I'd also suggest slightly offsetting your book, slightly more centering the weight distribution.
