Could I push my TV in and pull it back out frequently? Or is this meant to stay in one position most of the time?

I move mine daily. I bought this to swing out from a perpendicular wall so when I use the TV, I pull out. In the morning or evening when I am done, I fold it back flat.

You can, bought I can hear a cracking noise coming from my studs if I pull it out to far. I think the tv is just to heavy to extent it out that far.

To answer this question. No! There are 4 screws that hold the tv to the mount. They can be installed or taken off rather quickly but not a pop and go thing. Now the mount is held to the wall by 2 long screws or bolts. These have to go through the mount and into a stud on the wall. In my case I am useing this mount in my camper so I am useing bolts to secure it to the cabinet. ( the walls in the camper are very thin.) there is no quick release on this mount. I do think it is a very good mount for the price.

The pipe goes through the bracket and the bracket has set screws to hold the TV in any position you want. If you wanted to be able to turn the TV at will, you could, as the pipe has a flare at the bottom so the bracket can't come off in case the set screws were to slip. The bracket would swivel, but the retaining flare at the bottom would need to be lubricated with some white grease occasionally, or you could find a hard plastic washer to slip over the pipe before you assemble it, which would eliminate the metal on metal contact . If you are only planning on turning it occasionally, it would probably be fine the way it is. If you are fixing it in one position, you can turn it any direction you please and just tighten the set screws.

The TV is secured to the stand. You can, with care, move the stand around (front to back and side to side). Of course your TV must be within the size requirement for this stand (see manufacturer's specs).

Yes, it stays in place. We have a 55" TV sitting on the swivel (pretty heavy), and the swivel does not "travel" or otherwise move when we turn the TV. We've been very pleased with the quality construction of the item and how well it's stood up to the use. One note: although the swivel will move in a complete circle, the way we have our TV positioned on a stereo stand against a wall only allows turning it about a third that distance in either direction.

No. It might work for a while, but the weight of the TV would be placed on the spring release mechanism. It would eventually work itself loose, and your TV would fall on whatever was below it. Most likely you'd end up with a broken TV, and whatever else below it destroyed as well. (game systems, stereo system, and so on.)

There is a bolt in the back which I believe if you loosen will let you tilt it back. It does allow one to easily move the tv from side to side and slightly forward without loosening it.

I wouldn't do it. If it starts going off-center as you are swiveling it you may not notice after several weeks and it could go off-balance. If you have kids I definitely wouldn't do it. Also, you should check the weight capacity of the unit. I think this one was about 100 lbs. There are ones from the same company that hold up to 250 lbs. If the base on your tv is 37 inches, it could easily be over 100 lbs.

No you cannot. Not without modifying the unit that is. Once the main bracket is fixed securely to the wall, the TV hangs on the top half of the bracket, and gravity helps the tilting mechanism click/lock into place. It would not work upside down, the TV would fall.

Worked for me. I had the same issue. I was able to slide the mount to the side to catch both the center and one off to the side a bit, the arms allowed me to move the TV back to the center of the wall when pushed all the way in and still cover the mount in the back...in other words, I had a stud in the middle, but was able to screw the left side of the mount into that, then slide it over an mount the right side to another stud, but sill position the TV in the center of my space.

It's a pretty stiff unit, depending on TV size it might not move. You could easily put a zip tie or 2 on the scissor bars and lock it down during travel. Hope that helps.

You may be able to move it once or twice but it is made to stay put for the most part. :)

Mine was a little stiff at first too. Once I got over my fear of breaking the tv, I (alone) was able to figure out how to retract it with out any problems. If it really takes you 2 people to retract it, something might be wrong.

Good thought. I wish mine was a bit longer, too. It came already assembled and I didn't think about taking it apart, but by looking at mine, it appears that you could do it easily. I suppose a lot would depend on how big/heavy your TV is. Mine is just a small 19" and it's very light. Let me know!

The mount will move horizontally. I have not needed to lock mine into a fixed horizontal position so it will move if I push on the left or right side of the tv.

Yeah i agree with Marilyn. I keep mine about 6 inches off the wall because i constantly turn the tv depending on where i am in the house. But if you want it close to the wall... you should consider getting one that does not swivel. It would sit a tad bit closer to the wall.

Absolutely. I can remove the TV in a matter of just a couple of minutes. Disconnect the cables, lift and pull away. Best TV mount I've ever had.
