Can the "tight-ness" in the rotation be adjusted such that it would require more force to rotate the plates?

No at best you could add a thick grease which may stop the easy motion you get out of the box. Next step for control is a proper sleigh bearing ( big money)

No it is a simple spot welded ball bearing system, to adjust rotation simply insert a screw with nylon cap into the bottom wood piece and adjust as required

You cannot do so without having to alter the mechanics of the crane. You will need to unscrew and rearrange it which may or may not provide the outcome you are seeking.

Yes, if the customization allows for the size and shape of the rack. It wouldn't ordinarily be able to balance in the vertical position.

There are 2 screws on the back that can be tightened to lock the rotation at a desired angle. Or, leave them loose to have it rotate freely.

You cannot. You could probably re-drill the screw holes and adjust it that way.

My wooden Norwegian plate is thick and it barely would go around it with a lot of pressure on the plate. So, I don't think I can say one way or another.

Hi Paris,It takes a bit of force. Mine is very tight too and I was frightened of breaking it but if you just turn it with a bit of force it will shift.

Once you tighten it, don't move it. Otherwise, I am not sure. I disliked this product for that reason.

As long as the desired height is within the range of the bracket, then yes you can make small adjustments. It may take one person the hold and the other to tighten.

Yes, As long as you have a 1/4-20 attachment screw. I don't think it's a perfect solution for that, however. There are several 1/4-20 holes in the bottom of the plate, just nothing particularly centered...

Yes! The tools provided will help you position what is mounted so that it is locked in place!

I wouldn't really do it personally, mine is tightened up all of the way, but seems like it would move under hard force.

You can adjust the tension of each joint with a hex key and a socket wrench. I've adjusted each individually to have more or less stiffness based on what will be the primary use and the most common motion I foresee.

no . works well . has a nylon ring between the upper and lower plates that are tightly assembled . if was ball bearing would swivel too easily

You can't adjust the angle, without compromising the stability or strength, if that makes sense

Yes, you can tighten up the screw and it shouldn't move unless you try pushing really really hard.

No that will not help because the screws are threaded into the base not the plate. You could try loctite(threadlocker) on the screws or get longer screws and put a nut on from underneath. It looks likes there is room.
