Does the center bolt need to be completely tightened, or can it be a little loose to allow constant swivel?

I'm sorry I haven't tried that, but my guess is that it could remain a bit loose if your speakers are level, but mine are angled down and if left loose would swivel left or right because of the speaker weight. Hope this helps.

i suppose it could. not sure why you'd want that since your theater system will most likely need to be calibrated with everything stationary. if you move the speaker, you will have to re-calibrate. besides, if you leave the nut loose and swing it back and forth the hardware will eventually fall off. but the bolt does enter from the top, so if you wanted to leave the nut loose on the bottom for whatever reason, i guess you could do that.

It could be left a little loose to allow flexible swivel on the fly. I have them tightened fully since I don't want them to be moved, but I can't think of any reason they couldn't be left a little looser. However, do note that the angling downward of them will also be slightly adjustable/loose, since that bolt holds both positions in place; there's probably a "sweet spot" tighteness that you could find, though (also, if you are angling them the maximum amount downward like myself, the loose angle adjustment wouldn't really be a concern). One note/suggestion; if you plan on angling your speakers downward and they are of significant size, I'd go ahead and use the mounting screws included. I was hesitant to screw into the walls of the speaker, but they will very slowly slip out of their seat if you don't fasten them to the mount in some fashion (eventually falling out). I luckily caught mine slipping out before falling out and went ahead and used the screws. If you're keeping them mounted fairly level, the clamp and pads should easily suffice, as you can tighten the clamp/seat very tightly around the sides of the base of the speaker.

It can be completely loose and it will still hold it will just be really flimsy. Mine currently is hanging on a ceiling and I have it loose enough to where I can turn the speaker very easily

Yes it is but the trick is you have to tighten the bolt all the way and it will not wobble so much.

Mine pivots slightly on the center bolt, but otherwise it does not move very much.

Not really a swivel, more like remove hight adjustment knob, raise press off pole, rotate press 90 degrees, reinstall press on pole, reinstall adjustment nut and bolt

The one I got needed adjusting. I suggest that you loosen the bolts. Start with a 1/8 or 1/4 turn until the joint moves. You do not want it to move freely, the friction is what will keep it where you want. You may need to also use a little WD-40 spray lubricant. Just do not over use.

I didn't have a problem with the connections fitting. It doesn't swivel much but will go up and down.

I don't believe so. It came with swivel installed and I wanted it that way so I haven't really checked

There is a screw built into the chair that I personally keep loose to make it swivel. But if you tighten it then it stays pretty still

not that I have noticed, but the swivel is not a loose swivel. It only turns when you move it and holds in place exactly where one sets it. This thing is built solid. High quality.

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.

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

Sorry for the delay.We were away for a while.Yes just loosen the bolt a bit, not too much.

There should be some bolts with locking nuts on them at the swivel joints. I have had to loosen those just a very small amount. Also I have just moved it by hand to limber it up.

No, not al all . Just turn where the arrow tells you or else , it won't turn . No need to loosen or tightening anything .

I can only assume the bolts are loose. The frame does cause the commode to rock if you sit down off balance

Oh yes nothing should be loose when you're finished. There will be some shank visible on each bolt. I reversed the bolts so that the flat end faced inward as to not tear into my cargo bag...if that makes any sense.You should tighten everything with a socket wrench. Good luck!
