I have owned two swivels (not this one). Both would turn based upon gravity, or the tension on the cables, etc. Does this one? How to prevent that ?

I also have a 55 inch TV on it and when I move it for my viewing it stays in place.This swivel stand is a great buy and I would buy another.Since the cables are in the back it doesn't interfere with the movement.I can also tell you that it doesn't move on it's own unless you move it.You will be very happy if you buy this as I am.

Bill: I have mine on a 55" TV and totally satisfied. The unit uses ball bearing and swivels easily without any friction or roughness of operation. I have a smaller one (not this brand) for for my 40" TV as well. This particular item met my expectations and would purchase another one. I believe you will find this item meeting your needs for functionality and ease of operation. David

I haven't had that happen at all. The weight of the television seems to make it stay where it's put, but I do have a 50" TV on it. My wires don't put any noticable pressure to want to make it spin on it's own, either. I don't live in an earthquake zone either.

This swivel turned very easily in either direction. The cables or wires did not seem to affect the turn ration at all. I would suggest having long enough cables that you have plenty of slack so their is not tension in any direction.

Do you mean they turned by themselves? Mine is on a flat table surface and so far it only turns when we turn it. I love it!

One year of use and mine has never flipped. Will either reverse itself when encountering an obstacle or climb the side of the pool. Well balance and the swivel cord prevents it from any type of entanglements.

Mine turns with the stiffness you want (so it doesn't slip easily) but it's not uncomfortably tight and moves freely when turned. Try working it a bit to see if it just needs the tightness worked out of it. Otherwise you may want to swap it if you think it hurts your ability to freely make adjustments.

Yes, I discovered that by welcome accident. Don't know to what degree but it does swivel. Oh, love the 3D once you get the glasses figured out.

My wife says: If you tighten down the plate that has the square holes, it will not swivel. Hope this helps!

Swivel does not rotate, your bipod is as sturdy as it's designed to be, if it's cheap it will wiggle. I've had not problem using it, just make sure everything is tight.

Installation problem. I installed mine the other day using the three hole cover and it swivels without issue.

no it moves back and foward and it swivels ..but nothing locks it down when you dont want it to move

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

Maybe if you MacGyver it. Otherwise, I haven't found a way to do it. I found if you point the pointy part out front and push back and forth, front to back, it doesn't swivel. Good luck.

Nope, no swivel. Not sure why you wouldn't trust the manufacturer on this, but there you have it.

Mine doesn't always rotate, it just allows me to curl without tangling the cord.

I get that twist as well if there is not enough tension on the cable. I keep it tense to the point I have to push down on the weight stack to place the pin. With time the cable stretches a little and I do not have to push down on the stack. The twist stays out from then on. I made the tension increase at several points. I narrowed the space between the double pulley and shortened the chain and tighten the bolt on the stack.

It will not by a lever or other process like a swivel chair. "It might by air pressure. raising/lowering" I am sorry but am not able to help any more than that... -KJ

Yes I have a swivel arm and it works perfectly! Plenty of cable to work with

I used an optical cable on a swivel mount with no issues. I twist tied it to my cable TV co-ax and it has room to move. jUst make sure the cable is long enough to allow the TV movement.

I'm pretty sure it does swivel 360deg. My tv has cables attached which restricts it a bit, but I've turned t right and left almost all the way. Sorry I'm away from the device right now so I can't text it in person. But it's a great thing. Been using it for almost two years and it's perfect.
