Can you tension the slider so that moves by GRAVITY ALONE can it ease in and out at the ends?

It can move by Gravity Alone if you have the tripod set up in the middle. It also depends on what your doing with it. It moves real slow by it self. But to answer you question its not made for gravity its made for it to move with you hand.

there IS a tension control knob that works really well, as far as I can tell. when you ask if it can move by gravity alone do you mean when its positioned for vertical movement? i assume you could put a little tension in it and let it fall slowly with gravity, but controlling it manually would still be more precise. when i tried it just now, it did move down, but not at a consistent rate of movement. so i'd suggest just doing it manually. and can it ease in and out at the ends? again, only manually. there is no automated speed control.

No. Even with tension relaxed, the strap does not easily slide out of the piece attached to the wall

Yes, it does glide smoothly. It does make a very slight squeak if we lean heavily to the left when rocking. But, it' really not a problem.

The whole thing doesn't slide easily as it seems to have rubber feet. If you removed those it might be possible, but then you'd have it slide around on you when you didn't want it to.

There is a screw on the slides that allows you to lock the slides in place, I think the folks having trouble with the slides have not made certain that this screw is all the way loose. Mine was not and the slide was a bit stiff. Once I loosened the screw....smooth as glass!!

Lift then slide. There is a notch that you have to get over before it slides.

It could, but you would need to push it manually, so certainly not ideal. You need to look for a motorized slider, which is not something that's going to be anywhere close to as "affordable" as this.

I'm not sure if the end will slide off or not. If it does it could be cut down.

It IS possible to adjust. There are slots at either end which allow the rungs to slide up or down so it would work for you. Hope that helps.

Yes you can, you have to move the bar with the tabs that lock it into position to the opposite side. We did this also, to slide from left to right.

Yes. Push slider on button towards top and it locks. You can leave it as long as you like. Works great.

Yes to both questions. For the release, you need to take the tension off by squeezing slightly then push the release between the handles. It has an adjustment knob for force. I have been very satisfied with this tool. Harry

Yes... Depending on the TV weight it may be difficult to slide laterally, but tweaking is not a problem. Once you have the desired position, the TV can be locked into place.

No tension adjustment on my older model, I recall it was quiet. I stopped using it and made space for an elliptical a few years ago.

Easily--I do it with my Bosch compound slider. I'm sure it's strong motor helps too!

Yes , BUT no way to hang sliders without. Could however take a hack saw and cut them shorter. Good luck.

Yes, it can be used with no slide. It is very easy to connect and disconnect the slide.
