Does anyone know how the mount rotates? Don't want to break it. Any help would be great!

My son says you turn it to the right only. I've never worked with it but he loves it.

The mount only rotates 90 degrees 1 way. I thought I was going to break it the first time I rotated mine and realized I was trying to rotate it the wrong way. If it doesn't go one way.. try the other way.

Hello Penky, I had to drill hole in top (comes off easy) to accept the mount screw, I works fine, hope that helps

No, this particuliar model rotates freely around the post. Handy when you need to hurriedly detach and reattach. Fwiw, these work quite well...use 24 hr epoxy to set the mounts though...the 5 minute stuff doesn't cut it...you trade set up time for strength I guess...anyway, lesson learned.

I mounted mine upside down , and the image appears correct on my screen. Hope this helps

I had no problems with the mount. Measure carefully, use levels and squares, follow directions, you'll be fine. One thing at a time, do it right, move on to the next thing.....

Yes, should work fine. Mine turns however it sits in the normal position not turned when I use it with this mount.

I clamp mine onto a std rail. I believe there is a swivel mount option that I did not use. It's good for rail mount. Can't say more tho.

Yes, this mount can be rotated. Have to loosen one screw and position it to your liking.

Yes it rotates. I've had mine for several months now with no issues. Very sturdy and well designed.

Yes, the mount connects to the clamp base by a ball and socket, so you can rotate it any way you need to

I purchased these mounts recently and also seem to be experiencing the same issue. This type of nut is apparently called a nyloc. I can't seem to tighten the nut all the way, and therefore cannot really stabilize the mounts. Were you able to figure it out yet?

I think the only way to accomplish this would be to mount it on the vesa mount 90 degrees. So make sure you want to keep it this way for a while, lol. You cannot simply just rotate it.

I have had no problems with mine. Sounds like you have a vibration problem. Excess vibration can destroy anything. A rubber mount might help or a different mounting location where there is less vibration. Hope this helps.

No problem... Works great. You will have to get a washer from Home Depot and place it between the mount so it won't fall. Cheap fix, you will see exactly where when you get it. My wife loves it.

yes, it can be rotated. I would be careful though, just like attaching the clip - it's tight and you have to almost force it - I was afraid it would break and it wouldn't surprise me if some have been broken during set up, before. I rotated mine 90 degrees from how it was in the box and have never changed it, though - so I don't know how it would stand up to repeated turning.

I can further confirm others' comments about the shock mount. The elastics in mine broke and I've had to hack something together with rubber bands!Can anyone suggest a good replacement shock mount--or just a regular mount as, in my situation, the "shock" aspect is overkill.
